You can do anything you put your mind to!! ....Try looking at things as...just 5 days at a time if an entire month is overwhelming!!

    December Goal: 157.5 lbs (trending under 158 lbs)
    ______________________________________________________________________
    I'm back!! Gained about 4 lbs back over the course of my Sept. wedding, Nov. honeymoon, and holidays (no regrets here B)). This past week I have just been getting back in to the habit of logging my meals, food prepping, and not eating everything in sight :D (those all inclusive honeymoons are tough lol). December's non-weight goal will be a continuation of logging everyday (and everything!) as well as going to the gym before work. For strength training I'm logging my weight and reps and am happy to see a steady improvement each week.

    Long term:
    -first weight goal is getting back to the trending at 155lbs, plan to accomplish this by March (1-2 lbs loss per month)
    -second weight goal is 150lbs and then maintaining for a month or two as a "break"
    -third weight goal will likely be to get to 145 lbs and move into recomp. I will use the 148lb mark to better evaluate my target goal, although at this point the scale # won't really matter to me as much as measurements #.

    Good luck to everyone this month - looking forward to it!!!

    Goals are simple - keep doing what I've been doing. Yes, I want (and need to) add back in my strength training, but main thing is to stick with what I've been doing!

    Back on the wagon. I fluctuate from 140-150 pounds. My goal is to break the 140 barrier as I haven't been under 140 since i got pregnant at 18. I am a pretty active person in general but even my activity levels fluctuate from highly active to moderately active. Run a half marathon here and there but when I'm not training I barley run at all. I love to lift weights and have been focusing on my "lower body" for a couple of years now. Trying to fight with genetics. :wink: Seeing some great gains but I feel that I need to loose the fat layers to be more happy with my accomplishments. I struggle with binge eating so I'm either VERY disciplined with my diet or very (over the top) undisciplined. Also I struggle with eating out of boredom (apparently in bored a lot).

    Plan for December is:
    * Maintain a net 1200 calorie diet (daily with Christmas dinner as the exception).
    * Loose 1-2 pounds a week and just ordered a new bathroom scale as mine "broke"
    * Hit the gym a minimum of three days a week and do "living room" workouts a minimum of three mornings a week (the days that i do not go to the gym)

    December goal: 128
    Ultimate goal: 120

    My goal this month is to stay focused on the final prize, in order to do that I'm going to weigh myself every day as a reminder! I've been struggling really hard for about 8 months to break the 130's but I'm feeling re-motivated and I've begun looking at trips in April so now is a great time to start!!

    December Goal: Don't gain it all back with Christmas goodies!

    2020 Goal: Maintain my progress from 2019, make exercise a more regular part of my routine.

    I have done well with my portions and maintained my weight loss over the last couple of months despite not tracking. Well, life is getting more busy with the holidays and I'm not weighing myself as much, and not watching the portions as well as I should. So for the month of December, it's just about not going insane with all the goodies, and maintaining around the 135 realm. I'm up 2 from a month ago, so I just need to stay put. I figure jumping back in to the accountability thread will help me add back some of the checks and balances I lost for November.

    I struggle with night time binges. I have been trying to lose for over a year and just keep slowly gaining. I need to get cravings under control. I work out regularly but cant added the benefits cause i over eat.

    Feeling is a losing battle but i hope i can turn that around.

    I've discovered the barrier to any weight loss success for me is eating past 8PM. I have a habit of making a box of pasta and eating it all... :s But working really hard to resist. Not having pasta in the house helps too!

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    I'm doing the Keto diet. Lost 20lb so far and currently losing about 1 pound every 6 days. I aim for 1000 - 1100 cals a day with my TDEE being around 1600.
    I plan on cheating for the 3 days around xmas. (xmas eve, xmas, boxing day). Fasting, then cheating new years eve. Then returning to diet until my birthday on the 9th. Back on completely then. Will likely be keeping track of the things I have though so I can see all the cals I have to burn and how many days it will take to do that.
    I haven't joined a gym yet, but hope to do so soon as 1-2 hour walks through woodland and countryside aren't challenging enough any more. (I go with my mother as she is also doing the weight loss journey with me, but is much older and struggles with speed and length). The fact it's getting so cold and all the pretty vegetation is nearly gone doesn't help. So I plan to burn hard at the gym and relax on my nature walks.

    Start going to the gym regularly and start lifting again! I just had a baby and am slowly getting back into working out. I’ve lost 32 pounds so far (baby weight plus a little extra). I’m going to try and stay away from snacking on all the bad things. I hope I can still join!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

    2020 Goal: Maintain my progress from 2019, make exercise a more regular part of my routine.

    Holding steady. If I don't go too insane with the christmas goodies I should be good. I plan to keep walking during my work breaks (when I remember).
    Perhaps its time to set an alarm for myself to remind me to get off my butt and walk, lol. I'm not really tracking my calories, but am writing down my foods as a visual and accountability check for what I am consuming. If I keep these checks and balances the rest of the month should be good!

    Your can only edit posts for 1 hour after the original posting. Most people just quote themselves, or copy last weeks post and paste, then edit in the current weeks info. :smile:

    My goal during this holiday season is to be conscious of the foods that I am eating by logging my every calorie and not just eating whatever because it’s the holidays. My fitness goals are to have leaner muscle.

    My goal is to stick to 1200-1300 calories per week and doing 2 days of cardio with a goal of 10,000 steps and 2/3 days with weights. My biggest challenge has been that I have Hypothyroid so its been taking me longer to lose weight.

    Hubby, kids, and I are traveling to the lower 48 to see family for the first time in nearly 3 years, so between travel and all the meals, this will be tough. I plan on practicing moderation (tasting and tracking the goodies, but not binging!), keeping up with my water, eating my vegetables first, and making time to exercise daily either with steps or quick workouts when I can squeeze them in. I want to stay as close to 1,200 calories a day as possible, and I practice intermittent fasting, so I try to keep my eating period between 9AM - 6PM.
