12 weeks till Christmas challenge
Replies
-
So after getting off to a flying start last week and feeling good, I undid it all on the weekend. I know what the issue was (it was one year since my mum died and I felt very sad). I think that first year of first birthday / Xmas etc etc without your mum is very hard(regardless of her age[97] or mine[60]!), so today I have drawn a line in the sand. Time to move on, and I certainly feel ready to move on. I will weigh in on Weds as that has been my usual pattern here on MFP. My PT has given me a program to follow when I'm at the gym by myself. Some structure helps!
I hope everyone has had a good week and if not, forgive yourself and have a better week ahead. I will post on Wed, regardless of ups or downs, be accountable. I'm in this for the long term!5 -

Already started a Halloween challenge but I’m happily surprised it seems I’m surpassing my goal for the end of the month (130) so thinking now about Xmas! I’d generally like to be down another 10 lbs at least but it’s kind of arbitrary because once I get a few lbs below 130 I want to start incorporating strength training again. Not interested in skinny fat as the end goal.
I know I’ve lost since Oct 1 so counting that as mon weight in already. Will only have few hrs sleep tonight so scale will prob be in accurate tom.

I'm in! Looking for friends for support and accountability too! I just started training for a 5k, and want to create new healthy food habits.

I’m in. I walk most days and restarted diligently counting my calories on Oct 1st. I was able to maintain my weight by intuitively eating for a couple months, but was unable to lose during that time. I am here to finally lose those last few pounds to get me to my goal weight, 135 lbs.

A bad day, yesterday, as reflected on my weigh-in. Time to double down for next week!2 -
It's too bad there isn't an official "Join" button. Any solutions or should we keep it as is?
It would be nice if this were an actual GROUP, instead of merely a DISCUSSION. Whomever started this discussion seems to have abandoned it. One member, deepwoodslady, has done a good job at helping others, here. If she formed a group, I'd join.0 -
Figured this is a good way to stay motivated through the holidays and shave off the last few pounds. Stuck to my diet through the weekend, which is something I struggle to do sometimes...but I think 2 days of heavy lifting made my weight higher this morning than it really is. But we'll see 😉

I lost 3lbs, which means some water, but I’ll take it. I’ve never eaten this much (1500 calories) before to lose. I’ve always set my daily allowance to 1200, which I’ve learned is too low and probably why I haven’t been successful. Yay!!!

Hello, I am new not only to this challenge, but also to this website. Do you have any advice where to start in order to start losing weight? Maybe someone has a good meal plan or workout to share? Or any tips?

Would love to be part of this. My second time round and had picked tomorrow, 1 Oct to recommit to myself, didn’t realise it’s only 12 weeks til Christmas.
I always do better when I am accountable to someone. Is there any other nearly 50 year old female who could be my buddy and help me be the best I can be? Promise to be a good buddy to you too 😊
I'll be your buddy, locnkey! 50 is on the horizon for me and I'm recommitting to this as well. Will send a friend request! Good luck!0 -
I’m lmterested recovering from shoulder surgery so eating healthy and losing weight without exercise until I recover .. took me a month to lose 6 lbs .. but I’m happy with that until I can exercise again 😉1

Female named Donna from the Midwest USA ….. 5’ 5” tall
Highest Weight Ever: 253 (2014/2015)
Original MFP starting Weight on this current journey: 235.0 (Jan 11, 2018)
Challenge Starting Weight: 174.0
Challenge Goal Weight: 154.5
Challenge Ending Weight: TBD
My Plan: To lose 1.5 pounds per week for 13 weeks (19.5 lbs total) and end at 154.5 on Christmas Eve Morn. Then I want to enjoy my Christmas Eve night with family, wake up on the 25th and listen for Santa’s sleigh bells. I will CAREFULLY enjoy myself between Christmas and New Years and reassess on January 1st and get busy with the final leg of my plan.
Final Goal: To weigh 145 by Valentine’s day.
Oct 01 - 174.0 And Away We Go! Good Luck Everyone. I don’t know what happened to the original person starting this challenge but I’m still in if you all are!
Oct 08 - 174.8 This is not the 1.5 pound loss I was hoping for. In fact, it’s a gain. I need to up my game.

Checking in: I'm a daily weigher but record my weight here each week on a Wed, so don't want to get too obsessed!
Oct 2 95kgs (209lbs)
Oct 10 93.8kgs (206.4) = 2.6lbs down
All things considered.. I'm happy to be back on track.
Lets see what next week brings. Have a good week everyone!3
