    This may sound like a silly question but I choose Saturday as my weigh in day. So will I weigh in then next Saturday? Or should I do an Initial weigh in before that?

    @ashlee_hawkins811 you may either keep the current start weight that you have listed (recommended), you can change the start weight to today's weigh in, but your 1st weigh in won't be until Sat. 8th.
    @evangsimmons170 yes, your pw will be the last weigh in for Nov. I really just use the pw to make sure that I haven't made a mistake or missed something somewhere anyways.

    Morning everyone! I won’t be doing the daily challenge as I have a (almost) 5 month old baby and still trying to figure out what a calorie intake I should have while breastfeeding.
    I am really looking forward to the weekly questions though! I know it’s only day two but feel like I am off to a good start. Hope you all feel the same 🙂

    I have a couple of goals for December. Isn't it amazing to think that these 31 days are enough time to create new habits?

    Here are my December goals (starting Dec 2nd):

    Daily intentional exercise (even my rest day will include exercise, just for a shorter time, (<30 minutes). This did wonders for my energy levels in November.

    At least one meal per day replaced with a high protein smoothie (<600 calories, which is significantly less than my regular meals). I need more discipline with my calorie intake.

    Bedtime before 11 pm.

    1 gallon of water per day. Pray for me on this one! 😲

    Just wanted to put my goals in writing...kinda like a vision board. I am determined to end this year strong...stronger than previous years!

    Welcome to the newbies! You all have chosen to be a member of a group whereby you are given all the encouragement and support to achieve your weight loss goals. My name is Lali and this is my 6th year as a Mfp member. Last year I lost 50 lbs and I am now 19 lbs away from my goal.This is not easy and I will not give up.This is a lifetime commitment.

    @MaryContrary1972 Great steppin'! Your dinner sounds awesome too-It has been awhile since I have made homemade pizza. I need to make it a thing again! To "track" is referring to when you track your calories via mfp diary or some means of calorie counting.
    @ghy5 Let us see if we can help! How long have you been stuck and what is your normal routine? We're here for you and it is a great place to stay accountable.
    @karent768 we understand. the mini challenges are completely optional and just a little way to keep people focusing on what they are doing everyday and to keep from getting bored.
    @evangsimmons170 You've got another great month to look forward to with those goal! All of them are excellent!
    @12774 Thank you Lali! And thank you too for being so supportive--I'm here for the long term also!

    I have forgotten the Daily Posts for a few days. The holidays are getting the better of me.
    Daily Post Dec/1
    Cal. Under
    Track ..Yes
    Exercise. Yes. Instead of using the blower to remove the fallen leaves, I used the rake instead and burned more calories instead.
    Dec goal. Lose 1 lb /wk. I think that this is doable.

    @12774 It has been so busy for me this week that I am barely keeping up with all the posts. I really hope that I haven't missed any and I apologize if I do. WTG on scoring that extra calorie burn too!
    @lk2011 and @evangsimmons170 yeah, look at my diary for the past week....I'm right there with you not doing so hot! BUT.....it is a bright shiny new day in a bright shiny new month. Lets do this!

    Just putting this here: My goal is to start logging my food again. I have to build this habit again so I can get my weight going down (rather than up). Welcome all the new people - Happy December Everyone!!

    CW: 177.8
    Weigh in day: Tuesdays
    Week 1 - November 27: 177.8
    Week 2 - December 4:
    Week 3 - December 11:
    Week 4 - December 18:
    Week 5 (?) - December 25:

    @lar25473 December begins today so your chart would actually look like this:

    Week 1 - Dec 4
    Week 2 - Dec 11
    Week 3 - Dec 18
    Week 4 - Dec 25

    Great goal for December, you got this!
