    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
    December starting weight: 171.2
    December goal weight: 160 (I know it'll be tough)
    Ultimate goal weight: 135

    12/2: 171.2

    12/9:

    12/16:

    12/23:

    12/30:

    12/9: 168.0
    Total December loss: 3.2

    12/16: 166.8
    Total December loss: 4.4lbs

    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!

    Total December loss: 9.6 lbs. not too shabby I recon.

    So even though my "weigh in day" is Friday, today still counts as December, right? And if I weigh in first thing in the morning on the first, it still counts as losing that weight IN December, right? So my weight on January 1st really should be my January starting weight, and everything up to that point is December loss, right? Lol. I'm REALLY trying to get all my 10ths of pounds lost put towards my goal of 11.3 lost in December.
    1.8 lbs to go to get that goal! 161.8 this morning.

    UPDATE: I'm Australian so we use Metric- 1KG = 2.2lbs

    Original starting weight - August 21st : 75kg -165lbs
    October 10 start of Lose 10kg in 10wk challenge: 70.5kg -155.1lbs
    Nov 26th/Dec starting weight: 63.2kg -139.04lbs
    December goal: 58kg - 127.6lbs
    Ultimate goal: 52kg - 114.4lbs

    3rd : 62kg - 1.2kg - 2.64lbs loss
    10th : 61.6 - .4kg - .88lbs loss
    17th : 59.9 - 1.7kg - 3.74lbs loss
    24th : 58.9 - 1kg - 2.2lbs loss
    31st : 63kg - .2kg - .44lbs loss

    Total loss for December : .2kg/ .44lb EPIC FAIL.

    So much for that, completely blew it this week no motivation and way too much nibbling on junk. Cant wait to go back to work and get back into routine. Have put myself back 5wks, was almost in my weight range. Oh well I'll start again and move forward. Bring on next month/year.

    That's not failure...you still lost!

    Well, my weight stayed the same since my last post. With the way I've been eating Christmas cookies, I'm very lucky. The house is almost "clean" of treats now, and I think I've had my fill. I'm ready to give myself another push toward goal.

    Staring Weight on MFP: 170
    Starting Weight for Challenge: 128.2
    Overall Goal: 120 (I'm 5'1)
    Goal for challenge: 123.2 --- actual loss: 2.4 pounds

    Today's Weight: 125.8
