Hi all. Rejoining this group. I started this year at 275. Lost about 25 lbs in the first six months. Joined this group in June and lost another 5 lbs. But Oct and Nov were tough on life and weight loss took a back seat. I left the group around 245. Was 249 a week ago. Last weigh-in was 253 after the holiday and vacation. Hoping some of that is bloated weight. Excited to get back on track with you all. Especially with the holiday season here.
Hey, Erik. What would you like to use as your starting weight for December? If you submit one today or tomorrow, then that can be your starting point. If not, it will be the transferred weight, which is 246.6. (I think from what you have said, that that might be a little low.)
Yes. Very low. Thanksgiving and our cabin getaway in the mountains was fueled by alcohol and carbs unfortunately ... can I start at 253 ... sad as that is ...I am now determined to get back on track!
Let’s kick it in December!!!2 -
Hello,
My name is Ashley and I’m from Indiana. This is my first time doing any kind of weigh challenge. I am looking forward to see what the month of December brings!3 -
Hi everyone, I am Heather. This is my second month in the challenge. Being accountable to the team helps keep me on track. I am in my forties, married, have two teenagers and work full time. I am really good at taking care of others, I need to be better about taking care of myself. I am trying to keep my goals realistic and attainable (a pound a week). My overall goal is to lose about 75 lbs. My goal for this month is to stay on track.3

Hi everyone, my name is Ashleigh. I have been living a healthier lifestyle for 4 years now. My highest weight was 255 lb and lowest was 171 lb. Over the past several months I've kind of slacked and lost motivation and I'm at 185.8 right now. My goal is to hit 170 lb over the next two months.4

Come on team!! We got this!!
Regardless of you plan to maintain this month or lose, just keep the course and strive to do your best. Work to be better not perfect and plan to not throw away your month just because a few outtings might be planned, not to mention Christmas eve and day.
Let's keep it strong!!3 -

Just kidding! Kind of....
Anyways, I'm about two months in and 17lbs down. I'm hoping to get down another 10lbs by New Years, but we'll see how that goes. I started around 195 and my goal is currently 135, but we'll see how it goes. I have no idea how I'll look and feel as I approach that weight, so I figure it may change. I've always done better with charts and challenges. I'm basically a child. Give me that star sticker and tell me I did good.
Hopefully everything goes well and we can all keep moving towards our goals!
Now that I am at 145 I am reassessing my goals. I have always wanted to be 125 but I feel my build won't make me I look good...so I might plan to stop at 135 but I am still assessing as I go....but at the same time I have always been told I would never get as low as 125 (starting out at 230) so I also want to get there, just to say I can...then regain 10 pounds lmaoAlainaS0721 wrote: »Hello everyone! I’m Alaina and I am 19. I am from West Virginia and I am currently a college freshman. I started losing weight in January 2018 with a starting weight of 206 lbs. I got down to 193 lbs and then gained a few pounds back over the summer. I joined MFP with a starting weight of 201.0 lbs and now I currently weigh 198.0 (as of yesterday). My goal is to get around the 130-145 lb range. I am 5’4 and that’s about how much I am supposed to weigh according to BMI. I have a larger build so I’m leaning towards 140-145, but I will see when I get there. I might lose more afterwards. Anyways, I am always up for a good challenge
Am in the same boat as you, I have a larger built so although I am happy at 145 (just planning to tone up more) I think I want to try for 135, just to see. I have never had a problem with having a curvaious body or a bigger booty..I love these aspects and I never pictured myself getting slim or thin...but it's a constant trial adnerror process... we will see1 -

Absolutely you have done this right! And I am not a stickler on format, as long as I can find your current weight, I am good. The previous weight just helps to put things into context. And speaking of context...you lost two pounds this week!! Fantastic!! Way to start December!!1 -
Mini-challenge
12/2
tracked: yes
calories: yes
excercise: no
Sun: no
So I came back from vacation and have watched calories and even hit the gym my first day home. Then I found out my wife and I both got an infection while away. I’ll spare details but going to the gym wasn’t an option Sat & Sun. I have stayed under on intake though, so small wins. Thinking/hoping I’m all good to go to the gym tomorrow0 -

I just realized this is in kg, which makes more sense. Being Canadian, I have a metric conversion calculator, so I have no problem with it, but maybe just put in the unit of measure so I don't forget to convert. Thanks.0 -

Good for you to do what you could, which is watch your calorie intake. We have to be able to take these little setbacks in stride or we will never get ahead because life is full of setbacks!0 -
