    Forgot to log this in on Friday. Last two weeks of school so it has been crazy. Tomorrow is the last day. YEA!! :laugh: :drinker: So I'll be back tomorrow. I hope tomorrow is better than this week has been scale wise. Saturday was church party, did good but had 6 cocktail wieners I guess the sodium, weight up 0.6lb Sunday morning. Sunday I had a 50th anniversary reception I did the cakes for. So my lunch was reception food, 6 meatballs, veggies, & coffee. So by yesterday weight was 196.2. Back down this morning to 195.0. Hopefully tomorrow it will be down more. Good luck everybody. Happy Logging and Happy Drinking. Water that is! :drinker:

    GW: 193.6 12/28/13 Anything lower than my current low.

    Weigh in Dates:
    12/1 - 200.2 (I am HOLIDAY bloated! I'm not trying to lose 5 pounds this month, just trying to see any new low, here for support!)
    12/8 - 196.0 (Very happy with losing the holiday bloat so far, now just hoping for a downward trend in the following weeks!)
    12/15 - 201.0 (I don't know why I'm here because I'm not trying - obviously. I hate winter, I love baking, I love comfort foods.)
    12/22 - 197.6 (In my defense, I haven't pooped in two days hehe)
    12/28 -
    End of Month (or whatever weigh in days you use)

    12/8- Had a good week staying under calorie goal, only one day was over goal by 248, that is a HUGE improvement for me. Here's to another great week ahead!

    12/15- Really let myself go downhill this week. I baked, I ate, I feel bad and now I'm dwelling on what I can do to get this train back on the tracks. The weight I am up this week, it's probably more than just water weight, I'm really out of control.

    12/22- Did LCHF all week. My joints are already reaping the benefits. I feel really good and my cravings are back in check. My mood is in a much safer place to stay on track through the holidays. Merry Christmas everyone and keep on keepin' on!

    I'm changing my goal to just 5 pounds each month. As I get closer to my goal weight, I don't think it's healthy to try to lose a lot too quickly. I want to maintain muscle mass and not lose it.

    Tootchute, you had a strong start this month! Don't give up!

    I'm not sure this necessarily counts as a tradition since basically everyone does it, but I really, deeply love wrapping presents. I put an embarrassing amount of effort into the wrapping. Creative papers and ribbons (or twine, yarn, etc), unconventional methods of tying the ribbons, handmade gift tags. It's a borderline hobby at this point.

    Weigh-ins on Wednesday. Gives me time to lose the weekend water bloat.

    Wednesday weigh-in...

    12/18 - 129.9
    12/25 - 129.8
    1/01
    1/08

    Don't think the 5 lbs is going to happen. A couple lbs would be nice though. Now that Christmas is over, that might actually happen.
