    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!!

    Yes I am excited about the "NO MORE EXCUSES JANUARY, LOSE 10+ LBS" and the "Can you lose 50+ lbs by July 1st, CHALLENGE!!!" both start on January 1st. How I make the charts is I keep everything logged on excel. Then I save the file as a .jpeg. I then upload the .jpeg chart to photobucket.com and then I take the coded link and paste it on the message board thread, and I change the IMG to a lower case img at the beginning and the end of the link and once its saved the chart appears on here.

    Sorry for the late weight in. I'm embarrased to report that I've gained 0.7 this week :sad: ; I actually gained a bit more than that because I was down to 262.6 lbs on the 24th. I was carefully to stay away from carbs and sweets over Christmas and I still managed to gain. However, I also did not exercise, so really I only have myself to blame.... :mad: I'm so dissapointed. I need to get back at it!

    1st December: 270.6 lbs
    8th December: 267.2 lbs
    15th December: 264.4 lbs
    22nd December: 263.7 lbs
    29th December: 264.6 lbs

    Goal weight: 262 lbs

    Have a good week!

    As of today 218 still. I will take that and stop beating myself up because its 12/31/10 and my goal was 214. When I started this challenge I weighed 229. So that is success. And all of you who have lost, own your weight loss and be very proud of yourself. This is the hardest month of the year to lose weight. Food is litterally completely surrounding us at all times during the holidays. For those who have joined January challenge, get ready, cuz we will be losing those 10+ lbs!!!!! Everyone keep up your hard work. I'm proud of all of you and thank you for joining this group. On Monday I will post the final chart so you can see our groups final weight loss.

    1 December: …. 165
    8 December: …. 162
    15 December: …160
    22 December: …156.6
    29 December: …156.0
    31 December …..155.7

    Goal: 155 by Dec 31st.

    I had been averaging an 8 lb loss a month with Weight Watchers so this is excellent. But this last pound (or 2) could be back tomorrow depending how I eat at Red Lobster tonight and how much I drink.

    Things I did different this month:
    Added low carb whey protein shake once a day.
    Using the new Points Plus program at Weight Watchers since Nov 29. This change meant eating more fruits and veggies. I switched my usual processed carbs (snacks and deserts) for fresh and frozen fruit.

    I'm ready for the new challenge in the new year!

    Thanks Stephanie.

    Dec 29: 237.0 (-3.0)
    Dec 31: 236.0 (-1.0)

    Goal: 235 by Dec 31

    I didn't quite make my goal but 10 pounds in a month - especially December, when there were holidays AND my anniversary to contend with - is still pretty good.
    Today is also my 100th day on MFP and I am down 44 pounds in that time period - I'm thrilled with that progress!

    Well - I didn't make the progress I'd hoped for this month, but I feel like I'm solidly in the 180s again, and in a good place mentally/physically/etc. to keep going down. I'll take what I can get!
