    Somehow I've managed to stay around 125-6 for three weeks despite massive slips. I'll be happy to be 125 at Christmas as that was my goal 4 months ago. I have to tighten things up for the next 3 weeks. Lots of parties coming up. Hope everyone is doing well.

    You are doing great. Moderation and bring in control is the key.

    If we maintain in December it will be a win.

    Enjoy your holidays with your loved ones.

    Doing good here. Thanksgiving was a worry but I made it through with no gains. I made goal in October and planned to lose 5 more before Christmas/ vacation. I am down 6 pounds and feel great. That little bit is such a boost

    Down to 118.8 this morning. 10.2 below goal. Trying to maintain here for December.

    @happymom221 - you are doing great. Doesn't it feel good to be in control of food and it not controlling us?

    I had lost, but was 127 this am. Was surprised as I was logging the candy and cookies. I want to hold at 125 by Christmas as that will be some weight loss in December, which would be a first.

    I'm in the same boat. Up to 127 now, want 125 by Christmas and to maintain it through New Year. Then back towards goal of 120! Ugh. It's so hard to stay motivated.

    I was down to 113.5 on Friday, but my sodium has been high these past few days so I've shied away from the scale. So close to 110!

    I think the 127 was one of those water things maybe. Was 124.3 today so will be interesting to see where I am tomorrow. I'm really cutting calories and avoiding sweets. I want to get to 120 and maintenance! I know we all do so hang in there!!

    119.2 this morning. Just up about half a lb.

    That is great considering all the temptations around.

    Only have one more party and Christmas breakfast to go for really big temptations.

    New Years maybe a problem as we are going away for 6 days. Always challenges. But I have learned a lot these past 10 months here on MFP.

    Keeping Florida trip in January in mind helps. Going to be in a swimsuit so don't want to gain any weight back.

    I've read on here that maintenance is about a 3# weight range as we will all go up and down a little. Stay where you are now and when you go to Florida don't get over 122. If like my range to be 118 to 122. Was 124.2 today, so at least it's "real". Have a few dinners to navigate through this weekend. I'm starting to get the hang of the holiday temptations.

    Up to 120.4 this morning. I guess not too bad considering all the special treats around. Things I only have once a year.

    Back to logging carefully today. And trying to get back to my 119 before we leave for 6 day vacation on Wed.

    How did everyone do for your holidays? Hope we all can get right back with our logging and exercise now.

    Good luck everyone and Happy New Year to each of you.

    Good food discipline here except one packet of toffees, chocolate coated no less that I consumed xmas day. 175g of Thorntons brand heaven. 127.7lbs and next goal is that magic 120 you have been speaking of. Now to get back moving more.

    Haven't seen anyone post in this thread lately- but here is my update.

    I did gain about 1.4 pounds over the holidays and then strict logging and exercise had me losing it in a week.

    As of today I am 127.4 and now have 2.4 to lose to get to goal. How is everyone else doing?

    (I went out and bought some NEW clothes today- emphasis on the new because I've been buying at thrift stores as I've been losing for the past 18 months because I knew I would be out of those clothes in another month or two. I figure 2-3 pounds won't make a huge difference in size so I bought a few things new- felt nice).

    I'm down a pound, maybe, from the holidays. I weigh 123.0 with 3 pounds to go. Am taking it slowly, allowing "slips" here and there. Hope to get to 120 in a month.

    How is everyone?

    Thanks DQ for resurrecting this!

    I'm holding steady. I didn't gain over the holidays well nothing crazy but didn't lose either. Holding at right around 127-128. Still shooting for 122 but I'm happy with the progress I've made.

    Lovely to hear from you again!

    I haven't posted in this thread before but I've been reading along and happy to see the bump. I'm also on my last 5 lbs. and it's very slow going. I'm currently at 127 lbs. but 126 has been visiting me occasionally so at least I'm heading in the right direction. I have dropped .8 since Dec. 28th, yay! Here's my stats: 5'2.5," 66 years old, medium frame.

    i lost 75 in 2015 and gained about 5 pounds over the holidays and a big family vacation. It doesn't really bother me- I started StrongLifts 5x5 and am setting non scale goals. My weight goal is 5 pounds in 8 weeks

    @happymom221, that's excellent! Lifting is the best. Luckily I sailed through the holidays with no gain and I'm taking my time losing the rest, if I lose anymore at all. I'm lifting 3Xs per week and that's really changed my body composition. I'm actually in better shape then I've ever been so I'm happy with where I am now. The last few are bonus pounds. Happy lifting!

    Thanks for restarting. I maintained over holidays, so still about 5 to goal. I'm considering it a small victory that I didn't pack on weight like I usually do over the holidays. Trying to focus on daily exercise bc I find I also eat better when I put in time at the gym.

    Hi everyone, for the record I am 51 years old height 5'3" starting weight was 141.5 as of October 2015. I am now 127, on a good day 126 LOL. Goal weight 120 . Started out with cardio and weight training and put on a lot of muscle, then plateaued and started doing Atkins and lost more plateaued there at 126 at mid December and has been doing light cardio and injured my shoulder so only doing lower body weights. Staying at 1200 calories but have been 126 since December. Light cardio and keeping my calories low 1200 has not produced any results. I only have six or 7 pounds to go but is not moving any suggestions?
