    Aw thanks! I'm 1.4lbs away from my december goal, its tantalizingly close but not allowed to exercise at the moment! So frustrating!

    Hello all! I was pleasantly surprised this morning! I lost one pound! Down to 364! I am sooooo glad I hopped on that scale today because I seriously wanted to wait until Friday.

    Have a good day!:flowerforyou:

    Weigh-in #4

    01 December: 176 lbs.
    08 December: 175 lbs.
    15 December: 173.8 lbs.
    22 December: 173 lbs.
    29 December: 173.8 lbs.

    Target 31st December 170 lbs.

    I sadly gained this week even if it was only a little bit. I wasn't so good over the holiday weekend and didn't do myself any favors eating as much as I did. The cookies and treats were just too much to resist...

    I did however lose 2.2 lbs for the month. Not huge but a loss none the less and that makes me happy.

    I let myself indulge on Friday and Saturday but not nearly as much as I usually would, plus I worked out some so I figured I would have been able to maintain but I guess I didn't do as well as it seemed I did.

    Congrats to everyone who actually lost this week!

    I'm just too close to my goal to have many changes. I'm losing inches, which are not reflected by my shifting hydration levels each week. :laugh:

    Everyone else has done a fantastic job!!

    Congratulation to everyone for achieving the weight loss for the month of December. I think the month of December is the toughest month of the year to lose weight as there are food everyw here either be at work at home. And just the thoughts of having food around me makes me feel like I am gaining weight than loosing it:ohwell: :ohwell: .

    Wish you all a very Happy New year and Good luck everyone !!!!

    January is a perfect time to renew our goals and reflect on 2010. :flowerforyou: I had to share below with you all! Happy hump day!

    Daily Inspiration for December 28, 2010
    Katie Jay, MSW

    Reflect first, then plan.

    On New Year's Eve, many people talk about their plans for the coming year. They make resolutions and hope for better times ahead. But before you start down the resolution path, pause for a moment and truly reflect. What can you learn from the past year about yourself? Have you discovered what works in terms of your health and what doesn't?

    You can make resolutions soon (or better yet, set goals), but today look back. You owe it to yourself to learn your lessons, so that you can grow wiser and healthier in the coming year.

    Action for the day: Even if you usually don't journal, take a few minutes to do this exercise. Make a list of things you wish you had done differently this past year, and then a list of what you did well. Next to the things you wish you had done differently, write down a step you can take to ensure you won't repeat that mistake. Next to the things you did well write down what you can do to continue having success in that area. Read this list every morning in January.

    Yes, the "NO EXCUSES JANUARY, LOSE 10+ LBS" is a brand new thread in rotation already started in the Motivation and Support Message Board. We will have our first offical weigh in on Saturday for the January group. You can 'bump' it so that it will be easier to find on Saturday. We will see you there. Thank you for wanting to join. Also, everyone I just started a new thread called "Can you lost 50+ lbs by July 1st? CHALLENGE!!!" also in the motivation and support message board. That's 2 lbs a week from now until July 1st. I don't know about anyone else but I am sick of being embarassed at the beach, and this year I will not be. I will be doing both groups and same thing as here, I will post a chart the day after weigh in. I hope to see everyone in both groups. You all were so awesome this month. Please be proud of yourself. Don't think to hard about what your goal weight was if you are not close to it. Instead check out a website to find out how much fat percentage you have lost. I will post our final chart in this group on Saturday for anyone who wants to weigh in on Friday Dec 31st. We have 2 days left. Still push yourself. Im hitting the gym today after work. Congrats on everyones success!!
