Well done all! Keep at it :-)
Name: MrsM.
Starting weight: 13st 9lbs / 191lbs (at 27/12/15).
Goal weight: 13st 6.25lbs / 188.25lbs - this was my weight before The Cold and Christmas, so am hopeful that part of the gain is water from excess salt and bread, then I'm aiming to buck my own trend of .5lb a week :-)
Plan:
1. Stick to my MFP guide of 1380. Caveat: unless I've exercised then have choice to eat back some or all calories.
2. Do 30 mins cardio every day - can't do more as coming out of stinky cold and know what my limitations are.
3. Drink enough water - some days it's easy and some days it really isn't!
27/12 (Sun) - Done all three :-)
28/12 (Mon) - No idea on pt.1 - dang head cold has almost done for me today. Did the other two for sure.

Oooo! I had a good day! I hope you are all doing well also. Tomorrow I am going out with my girlfriends. I volunteered to drive, so I won't have any alcohol, so that will help on calories.

Great job Bri!
I did not meet my goals yesterday but today I am inspired to get all three of my goals! I'm back from a visit and in my own home.
I love this group! I hope I can report positively tonight!

Goals are way easier when you get back to a normal routine!
I read a post yesterday by a lady who has been maintaining her weight for several years after losing a lot of weight.
She said it's not about willpower although willpower is an effective tool sometimes, it's really about the habits you build along the way.0 -

Thank you. It's dragging on (and on!). Get very hungry for stodgy carbs, which I'm trying to ignore but am only partially succeeding at.0 -

Very true. Our habits are changing, which will be our framework for the future.0 -

One of my friends is waiting until the new year to start but I've been pretty consistently good for the past week. Gonna finish strong! I'm sticking to 1200 calories a day, walking my dogs, and jogging at home. I'm also slowly transitioning to a more paleo friendly way of eating.0

Today is the only day that we have to accomplish something in. There's no point in waiting till tomorrow. Good for you!0 -

Well. It's the new year and we are all here, still working on moving toward our goals so....WE ALL WIN THE GRAND PRIZE!!!!! The satisfaction of knowing we can do it! 0 -
Day 5 and 6 fell apart but I knew they would and I am am convinced tomorrow will be a better day0

Day 5
1. Over cals.... A lot! :-(
2. Exercised
Day 6
1. Felt like I didn't east too too much but at mom's. Unable to actually measure. Tried to eyeball it.
2. 2 mile walk.
Thanks for posting this challenge.. It helped my priorities on some tough days. Although I am sure I wasn't in deficit, I am also sure I would have mindlessly overt induged

Thank you for this challenge. It has helped a lot in getting over the Christmas indulgences and new year slump. I know there there is a lot of hard work ahead and that is ok. We can do this one day, one meal, one healthy choice at a time. Happy new year0

Great challenge hope everyone did well0
