Well, this is it.

I didn't make my 10 pound goal - but I remained under 200 so I am happy. 7 pounds so far for the month for me-with Christmas and my father in law passing-we had SO much comfort food brought to us. I did get to 9 1/2 pounds but gained a bit back. That's the first time since I started this adventure that the scales went backwards but with everything that happened - I am ok with it. I've been back at it and doing good for 2 days now - I threw away all the remaining junk food that was brought here.

So here's to all you ladies who have done your best thru this month long adventure with me :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: - Three cheers!!!

So we should all check in Wednesday on December 31 - our last day....

Maybe by then I'll report another couple pounds!

    I am with you Chrissy!

    Look how good we all did even with christmas so imagine if we had a month with no holiday!
    I loved this 10lb challenge I really think we should have it every month to keep us all motivated, any one with me?

    I had hit my 10.2lbs on christmas morning but had gained 2.2 back. I had lost 1lb of it but ate WAY TOO MUCH sodium yesterday so now cleaning out my body today with lemon water!

    Good luck everyone!

    At this rate, I'm hoping to be back where I started for the New Year :grumble:

    Though I really do think my parents' scale is different than mine, so I'm very eager to get back to CO tomorrow and see what my scale tells me ('cause I really don't think I gained 2lbs in one day, even if I was traveling, ie, not exercising at all)

    Every scale is different - I really need a new one - I usually weigh about 5 times and I take the number that comes up twice - it's a pain!

    Well tomorrow is it - everyone check in with your overall progress in December.....


    On another note - had my 6 month cancer check up today and everything was great. Doctors were so proud of my weight loss and it felt SO good!

    Well the bad news is I started December at 149 and didn't lose a stupid pound. :explode: I'm ending December at 149 too. :sad: The good news is I didn't gain any weight over the holidays. Well Thursday is a new year and I'm going to start all over again with new goals and a new ticker. Good luck and congrats to everyone else. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    HA! I WAS RIGHT! 164!!! :heart:

    And quite frankly, I'm happy enough that in the worst month of the year (as far as weight-loss goes, with my birthday, end of semester and final exams, and Christmas) I not only didn't gain, I LOST A POUND!! :bigsmile:

    Congrats on the great check up, chrissyh! :flowerforyou:

    Hey all... For my part, I am at point zero - zero pounds lost in December! But hey, at least I didn't gain any. And I'll be back with a vengeance in 2009!

    See you all next year!
