    This week (12/1-12/8) I really have to reel in my beer intake. It has comprised the majority of my calories for the past 2 weeks. Guess I relaxed too much with the family and holidays.

    Struggles/successes: Finals, my birthday, FINALS, holidays, and finals. Yep. Having a goal to work towards helps keep me focused though, and exercise will be good for reducing stress during December. Just bought a ton of fruits and veggies, so we'll see how week 1 goes. Good luck everyone!

    Hello everyone! With Thanksgiving behind us and December coming up on Monday, I wanted to create a weight loss challenge and support discussion here on MFP. I figure the last month of the year is always the hardest due to the holidays! Anyone is welcome to join, just fill out this form on Monday and post weigh-ins weekly! Continued motivation and support throughout each week is strongly appreciated and encouraged!

    Just realized I accidentally put my goal weight 2 lbs lighter than I intended. I think I will keep it that way though - extra motivation!

    I had a friend request from someone, I believe from this post because she said we had similar stats, she is 5' 1" and 145... The avatar/pic was of a meme that went something like "Should, Would, DID"... I clicked the wrong button and declined the request when I really wanted to accept. If you see this, please resend? Thanks!! :)
