    Well, I was 132.2 yesterday (but it didn't count)...today was less than stellar on the scale...but I'm guessing it's because I've been gorging on Milk Duds and Red Hot candies the past few evenings. Did well with water once or twice this week, but still not consistent (especially today). Still need to move a lot more than I have been (so not used to this cold weather in VA, which makes me want to hibernate -- there is a reason I live in FL). Time to buckle down and get it done though!

    I think the weight fluctuation is due to more salty foods

I hate it, makes me feel trapped, with my balance issues I stay inside out of the slippery stuff. Cuts down on my walking but I will try to add steps when I move about the house

    Well, this is continuing to go in the wrong direction...but I've also been gnoshing more on CHRISTmas goodies and moving less because it's cold out. Need to get back on track and stop making excuses.

    Honestly, happy to see the number on the scale as I jumped up even higher during the week (133.8 on Wed). Did pretty well the past couple of days trying to get more water. Trying to get more protein each day too. Also, done better with not drinking so much alcohol daily (but my sugar/candy eating has been up a bit in its place)...so much balancing needed.

    A little disappointed to see it go back to where I was last week. Feel like I did pretty good with my water and protein over the weekend. But as I told someone else...sometimes during the holidays, even maintaining is a win!

    I have a lot going on in my life right now (as a caregiver to an ailing elderly mother and 800 miles from home as I temporarily live with her), so there are a lot of restrictions on what I can/can't do as my days often aren't my own right now. So, just logging regularly is a big win. Getting my proteins back up, more water daily and less alcohol during this time, are big wins.

    We have one more week, to get 'er done! Let's do this, my fellow winners! :smiley:

    Keep going, Everyone! I keep reminding myself how good I’ll feel to enter the New Year at a lower wt rather than having to re-lose what I’d already lost.

    We have 15 days through New Year’s Eve from now. Don’t give up. If we tow the line on all breakfasts & lunches & 12-13 of 15 dinners (Xmas Eve, Xmas Day, NY Eve), we should all still lose by Jan 1st!
