    Not to shabby, given that I enjoyed indulging a bit over the Christmas holiday. Hoping to meet the 5 pound goal next month. Just a few more pounds and I move from the obese category into overweight. Can hardly wait to reach that milestone!

    Happy New Year, everyone!

    erm...that should be "Not too shabby...." Apparently my coffee hadn't kicked in yet! And congrats to everyone who reached their goals, and for those who did not, pat yourselves on the back for your hard work and continued journey toward a healthier you. :D

    I've been thread-stalking this post since early December, but didn't think I had a prayer of hitting the 5-pound goal. I was careful most of the month, but the holidays were tricky. Anyway, my weight this morning was exactly 5 pounds under what it was on Dec. 1.

    Weight on Dec. 1: 187
    Weight on Dec. 31: 182

    I'll try not to celebrate this show of willpower by eating all the leftover Xmas cookies. ;-)

    Happy New Year!

    Well, so what? I didn't lose weight; however, I essentially maintained for the entire month. I will celebrate the fact that I am overall at my lowest weight in over 6 years. And I will also celebrate that I healthily and reasonably lost 22 pounds this year, gained so much fitness in my running and strength training.

    Over this year, I also gained so much confidence in what my body can do and did it all with the tremendous support and knowledge of the MFP community. Thank you to you all, and godspeed for everyone in achieving your fitness goals! (*) <3

    I went all out from Saturday - Tuesday, hitting the gym everyday, eating clean. No coffee, sweets, etc, increased my water intake as well, and got more sleep.

    I did the impossible for myself, and hit my goal weight for the month of December!
    For a little treat to myself I am eating some toblerone chocolate right now!!

    Remind me to never weigh myself halfway through the fast reset.

    My weight has been constant around 284 for the past three days. This is the real number.

    Well, not nearly what I would've liked to see. But I'll take any sort of progress I guess.
    I know I didn't get to the gym as often as I should've. As a music teacher, December is sort of my month from hell. Now that concert season is over, it's time to refocus and make sure I'm running 3 times a week. Here comes the next month!
