    I'm excited for progress, but also disappointed from a neck/shoulder/back muscle sprain that has kept me sedentary for 6 days and could affect me for a week or more! UGH!

    My goals are simple for the month -
    CW 137.2
    GW 136
    Fitness goal - once it is safe, get into a schedule with strength training every other day and cardio when I want to watch Netflix (while I'm on my bike). Also, create an exercise plan for the 3-6 nights away for Christmas.

    I'm glad a new challenge was created. I'm excited for this month because It will be complicated, but I'm going to try my best. My goals are to maintain my weight and maybe lose 1kg try to workout at least 3x a week (mostly HIIT and Strength Training). I wont be able to weight after 20th december only when I come back from my holidays on january (I know its early but it would be awesome if decide to do one).

    Thank you for making a December group!
    I have been working on several daily challenges that I've set up for myself. Among them are to stay under my calorie burn by 100 or more, drink more water, change my sleeping habits and a few physical goals (such as 12k steps a day.)

    We learn something even on the bad days / weeks. All of it moves us forward even if we can't see it yet. We "will" get there!

    I just stepped on my scale after a very long time and the number has never been this high... So a December challenge is just what I need! I'd like to lose at least 2 kg before 2017 and my plan is to eat healthier and do calisthenics and strength training 4-5x a week. I'd also love to try yoga.

    Holidays are so hard, I'm planning to learn some new holiday recipe that are nutritious and full of protein to keep me full and away from over eating. I hope we both have better luck this month!

    ...I am up to 138lbs already?! JEEZ. I am absolutely down for this challenge. The first things that have to change are my eating habits, then I can follow up with getting more active. I am feeling 4 workouts per week, mixed cardio and weights.

    I'm in the final stretch to get back to my "college weight" after a weight gain I experienced/let happen while on medical leave. Anyway, I have a few pounds to go to until I'm at my ultimate goal weight. I'm trying to hit this by my one year wedding anniversary in February... which means I have to put in work during the holidays!

    December SW: 119
    End of month GW: 117

    I'm off from school for a few weeks, so my plan is to exercise 5x/ week (up from usually 3-4 during the quarter) and try to hit my .5 lbs/week calorie goal nearly everyday.

    Wasn't a great start to December with a weekend in Austin eating a lot of junk foods. I want to work extra hard these coming weeks (cutting/strength & cardio 6x/week) and hope to maintain and not gain after my xmas vaca week back home.

    You've got this! Knowing what you need to do and then beginning to move forward is spot on! *cheers you on!*

    Hi there everyone!
    I'm not sure if this will count as a pep talk or not. It's meant to be positive! We are still in the beginning to middle stage of reaching our December fitness goals, whatever they may be! I've been in a few of these and love them! It's hard to give encouragement when you don't want to spam the forum. So I'll be hitting the buttons at the bottom of your post! I want you to know, I see what your up to! I won't judge you. Sometimes we do well, other times we don't. It's the effort, time and again, that truly make a difference. We got this! :)

    Weight went up and came back down this week to finish steady for check in. Ideally would love to hit 115 before Christmas and not gain 5 lbs over Christmas, that will require hard focus.
