    Happy New Year, everyone!

    Lots of new faces in the challenge this month, that's great! Hope we see you all the way through to your goals.

    I'm entering my second year of MFP and Samantha's monthly challenge threads!

    As usual, I'm up and down. That's how I roll. As long as I trend downward over time, I'm good with that. In fact, I've often joked that my progress graph looks like a sawblade. Here's a picture of it.

    For all you newer folks ... and some of you long-timers, who get discouraged when a daily weight goes up instead of down, feast your eyes on this:

    1dieya9uj2g6.jpg

    This is my graph since beginning on 12/25/2016. Spikes in late June when I was on vacation, and a bit over the holidays, but the rest of the time it's just up and down, but as you can see, over the long haul it goes down.

    I weigh daily and average weekly. It's not everybody's cup of tea, but it does show a more accurate picture of long-term trends, rather than a single snapshot of one day out of a week. If I weighed once a week and that day happened to be a 'heavy' day, I might get discouraged more easily.

    Not telling anyone what to do - just offering some food for thought :) This is what works for me. Your mileage may vary.

    Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.

    Lowest since 1999: 195.

    Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.

    MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233

    Goal: 180 in however long it takes.

    December 25th to December 31st: 206.9
    January 1st to January 7th: 207.2

    Loss for January: 0.3 GAIN

    MFP Loss: 25.8

    Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 35.8 lbs.

    Until next week...

    Move more, eat less.

    I'm so proud of you Jenn. Your posts always motivate me...woosh!
