    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 :-) This isn't going to happen - I weigh daily (it works for me) - and it's gig up each day, so just logging and exercising ever day will be my goal.

    Plan:
    1. Stick to my MFP guide of 1410. Caveat: unless I've exercised then have the choice to eat back some or all calories; and, calories increased as weight has increased (was at 1380).
    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.
    29/12 (Tues) - Pt. 1 I'm over on, but still in loss range so as still have The Cold am pleased. Deffo the second two, including doubling the exercise time (split into two but still chuffed).

    Starting weight:180
    Goal:178

    My Plan:
    1. Stick to 1200 per day. Any leftover Christmas goodies must fit into calorie goal.
    2. Exercise at least 1 hour each day. 3 days of weights and 3 days of cardio.
    3. Do Ab Challenge each day.
    4. Pre log food whenever possible


    Tues12/29:
    1. Went over slightly
    2. Walked , but only 45 minutes
    3. :smile: rest day

    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.

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

    Happy New Year folks :-) May it bring you and yours everything you wish and work for :-)

    Thank you for starting this thread and for the participants, it's really helped me this last week.

    Day 5
    1. Over cals.... A lot! :-(
    2. Exercised :smile:
    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 year
