I didn't really expect tp have lost anything as my last weigh in was only 2 days ago, so hopefully will see better results by next weigh in.
9th : 283.6lbs
Been a hard week this week as I reinjured my knee at the beginning of the week and have had to rest up quite a bit, only just starting to get back to normality again (thanks to pain killers). Hopefully next week will see better results.
16th : 280.2
Still in a bit of pain with my knee and my ankle is playing up a bit as well but it's been busy, busy, busy this week as my wife and 2 children are in panto so I'm conscripted in doing set building and chaperoning, so on my feet a lot.
23rd : 279.2 Glad to see things still going in the right direction and nearly at my goal for the month.

Everyone's doing fab this month
December is always a hard month for me personally… I'm sure it is for a lot of other people too
I only lost 2lbs this month and that was the first week… I've managed to maintain my weightfkr the rest of the month and the way I see it… it's better than a gain
Who would like to continue for January?
If people are wanting to keep up this monthly challenge I'll gladly post a January thread on either Thursday or Friday
Just let me know guys x12 -

Arggh. Having hit my challenge, I gained back most of it after a week of family and too many sweets. Getting back in the saddle for January. At least I'm better than 2 months ago but frustrated at myself for losing ground after doing so well.5
-
Im in for January for sure. Got to get over the xmas binge BLAH! and back on track.
I hope everyone had a Great Christmas, hate to say it but I look forward to going back to work. Much easier to keep up the exercise and eating routine. It is nice to read everyone elses progress and comments, I've found lately that most of my friends on MFP seem to have dropped out. I miss the feedback and updates.

Well, I didn't lose 5 lbs. I did lose weight, however, which is hard to do at Christmas, so I am happy. I will reach by goal of 150 within the next 3 months. I have joined two challenges starting Jan. 1, so I am looking forward to 2017.7 -
I'm in! I have at least 30 pounds to lose by April (I'm a teacher and going to prom...again).
Origional starting weight: 192

Not nearly as much as I wanted, but I'll take it. My origional goal for December was to lose 11.2 lbs by working my booty off. I'm actually close to half way there, and I have 2 more weeks to go, of which I will only have to work 2 more days next week and I'll be on Christmas break, so I'll have more time to try and get some exercise in. I may still be able to get close to losing that other 6.8 lbs.
12/23: 162.8!!!! I about didn't believe the scale. I got off and back on 4 times!
December total: 9.4 pounds!!
Only 2.8 to go for my December goal. I am super excited right now. Christmas had better not completely blow it for me! Lol
12/30 - 162.6. Not nearly the loss I wanted for this week, but I guess it's still a loss. Aunt Flo showing up for a visit the last few days threw it all off track!2 -
