    It's Christmas eve 9am here now!!! I'm confident I will get through today eating my maintenance calories and get at least 10,000 steps in. I did the same yesterday- ate at maintenance and did 10,000 steps. So close now! I'll be over indulging tomorrow so that makes it easier to eat less today

    Killin' it!

    This week I want to get in
    - 2-3 BJJ/judo sessions at least
    - My final body 20 session
    - Try out the roller blades I borrowed
    - 2 fitness classes
    - 1 weights class
    - At least one ocean swim
    - Maybe get a run in, esp. if it rains (not too hot then)

    Body 20 done,
    2 bjj sessions done - no judo this week as I have shoulder issues. Hoping to get another bjj set in today
    1 mini weights set (half the normal time, but better than nothing)
    No fitness class yet, but definitely tomorrow
    Swam, not in the sea but it's something
    Will make time in weekend for roller blades and hopefully a run, maybe early morning beach run

    Did most of what I planned today and went slightly over on calories, but not a bad day overall.

    Tomorrow I plan to have a light breakfast and lunch and take a walk in the morning. At 2 we are gong to church and the festivities will be on full force for a couple of days.

    Merry Christmas to all of you. Thank you for the encouragement and support.

    CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!!! WE DID IT!!!

    Whether you stuck with it 100% or 60% I'm proud of everyone. It's the toughest time of the year to do something like this and you should all be proud of yourselves. At the very least you made the choice to change your life. And even if it didn't work out perfectly this time, I'm confident that motivation will come with you into the new year when you'll really be ready to rock and roll.

    I hope to do more challenges like this in January and the new year, please come along for the ride! And I'm def. more than willing to be friends on MFP with anyone and everyone that wants another friend on here for some extra support.

    And hey, I'm actually nearing the end of my personal trainer certification and just the other day made a Facebook page. You can join me on there too to talk about whatever you want in health and fitness! https://www.facebook.com/MattJFitness/

    I'm so impressed with everyone here, happy holidays!!

    This challenge had been great! Helped me stick many days. Are we sprinting to New Year's day?

    Haha, Great idea!

    It was so nice to find this group; these days most of my friends don't go beyond the "like" button and I don't find that very motivating at all :(

    You guys all crushed it! So proud :smile: I'll be logging and hitting the tracking hard starting next week but I'm thinking about another challenge after New Year's Eve. So keep your eyes on the forums and feel free to add me as a friend so you know when it's going down!

    Wow! You guys are awesome! Wtg! I hope you all had an amazing Christmas!
    This past week has been really tough for me. I was running on 4 hours a sleep a day, at the store everyday for 10 hours, 6 months since dad passed was Christmas eve, and then some sad stuff going on regarding my son and my grandbaby. It's been rough and I wanted to push through, but it didn't happen. This week my schedule is back to normal so I'm going to get back to eating healthy and back to regular exercise, so I will be ready for the New Year. 2016 is going to be the year I give back to myself!

    Add me if you'd like, I've been on this journey for almost 7 years, maintained a healthy weight for 6, then fell apart. So I'm on my way back from that and love mutual support so as to not be on this journey alone.

    Thanks, this was great. I'm definitely keen for more challenges. Gotta hit it hard to make weight for competition in exactly two months!
