Lose 5 pounds in December Open Group

I saw there wasn't a new thread for December yet, so I decided to keep it going.

This is a continuation of a group that has run for many months. Feel free to join in at any time!

Here's what you do:
Post your weekly weights, your successes and struggles, and give support to the person above you!

Hmmmm Lost 5 pounds since last week. I don't think that is accurate. This is probably TMI but I started my period this week so I think last weeks weight was high due to that and the "water weight" probably came off finally. Anyway it's only the first week and Christmas baking has not started yet LOL Let's see how the rest of the month goes. Good luck to everyone. My struggles are trying to drink enough water and work out!

Notes: I was fairly good this week. Was fairly disciplined in what I ate, was fairly consistent in logging, and made it to the gym 4x since Monday. Next week is going to be a terribly busy week. Hope to continue making good food choices and workout at least 4x next week.

Good luck this week, everyone!

Well that's kind of disappointing. My weight has been bouncing between 158-161 for the past 3 weeks. I've changed up my workout, I've changed my caloric intake, etc. and I still seem stuck! Hopefully my body will catch up to all the hard work I've done! Aiming for 158 for next Saturday.

I'm in. I'll post December 7, 14, 21, and 28th. I have struggled since Thanksgiving and need to get back in gear.

This was my first week trying to eat healthier in 3 months.
I know that I was over eating the last 3 months.

So this week I cut my calories down a lot. This helped, but I was still binge eating a little bit.

So for week #2, I have planned out what I am going to eat for breakfast, and lunch. At work I must stay away from donuts, and my weakness cookies. So to combat that I have healthier alternatives such as cheese strings, and lots of organic fruit.

Focus on non-scale victories and the scale will follow! Even if you had a rough week or had parties, you got this!

I'm dreading on weighing in on Saturday, two christmas dinners plus one on Sunday and other one week from today. Back at in the new year but will still track between so who knows.

all I know is I'm starting to buy clothing in a size 22 from a size 24 two months ago. Whoohoo
