Feeling extremely frustrated this weekend, like I’m never going to get out of the 200s this has been a 3 year battle. I just need to not give up 💪 but I’m also feeling tired and defeated today
Don’t give up, don’t lose hope! I hope 2019 will bring you many good things. 😊3 -

SOMETIMES I GIVE IN………BUT I NEVER GIVE UP !!!
I am weighing in on the First and the Last day of each month for a full monthly account.
MY STATS:
Highest weight ever (2014/2015): 253
Original starting weight for this current journey : (1-11-2018) 235.0
My Final Goal: To weight 155 by Valentine’s Day 💗💗💗
December starting weight - 178.0
December goal - 5 lb Loss to be at 174.0
December Actual End Weight:
Weight/Comment:
Dec 01- 178.0 December will probably be a wild ride, just like November. I will do my best and hope that a challenge will help to keep me a bit more accountable.
Dec 08- 178.0 Maintained, which I am grateful for. However, I really need a loss before Christmas, and before I have to see my family doctor. Lots of travel this upcoming week. That never turns out good.
Dec 15- 180.6 I’m starting to slip as the out of town shopping excursions intensify. Restaurants, social events, Christmas parties, lack of sleep and time. I know I’m not alone in this. The NSV is that I am still making excellent food choices at home and I am having no problem getting my steps in with all this rushing around. January is on the horizon so I am trying to minimize the damage.

December 1 - 193 - up one pound from yesterday : - (
December 2 -193 - glad that I didn't gain, I was pretty over-indulgent over the weekend.
December 3 -194 - kind of discouraged with the fluctuation. I had a good day, expected a loss.
December 4 -194 - I really expected to be less this morning. On track to lose.
December 5 -192 - back to where I was at the end of last month's challenge.
December 6 -191 - Wow! Lots of days left to get down to that next decade. Seeing the scale move is motivating!
December 7 -191 - Getting excited to get out of the 90s, hopefully by next week
December 8 -192 - Dang. Oh well, I will stick with it. I over-ate yesterday and expected this. Very easy to put on, hard to take off.
December 9 - 192
December 10 -191- Good. Monday morning. Easier for me to be diligent during the week, so hope to see another drop this week. 2 steps forward 1 step back still equals going forward : - )
December 11 -193 - Geez do I fluctuate!
December 12 -191 - Skated yesterday. It seems like no matter what I consume, that I lose weight after I skate.
December 13 - Skated again, I think that I have messed up my calendar here, because the 191 should have been the 13th.
December 14 -193. Unbelievable, 2 days of skating and up 2 pounds? Really expected a loss today. I don't measure my inches until the 27th. Glad that I am not weighing once per week, seeing as how this fluctuation is going. I actually like seeing it, I didn't realize that it could be like that. 2 pounds is a lot!
December 15 -193
December 16 -193. Funny, I feel lighter but the scale isn't budging. Went out to Zumba class yesterday and really expected to see it on the scale. Maybe tomorrow.

One of the things that helps me with the frustration of working so hard and not seeing the results on the scale is that your fatigued well exercised muscles are going to hold more water as they recover hence not seeing an immediate result. This might be a woo but it makes me feel better.😜
Also something I’m working on is understanding that I use my diet/calories to loss weight and I use exercise to get fit.

That is interesting lalabank. Water retention sucks : - )
I can stay on 1200 calories faithfully and lose maybe 1/4 pound in a week if I am lucky. I really only lose weight if I increase my calorie burn. I get it that everyone is different, and that the common belief is that it is 25% exercise 75% food. Maybe I lose 25% of my weight by upping exercise. We know that exercise raises the metabolism. I find that when I exercise more and eat more I get better results usually the next day. I do some sort of exercise every day, aiming for at least10 minutes (youtube). The days when I can fit in an hour of skating or Zumba are not only super fun, but they usually impact the scales. So when it didn't, I for sure got a little frustrated. It really is hard to lose weight!
We are in it together : - )

Original Start weight: 175-178 in 7/18
December Start weight: 152.4 hit this today for the first time so may go up. Lol
December goal: 149
Ultimate goal: 140
Weigh in days will be Thursday
Dec 01 - 152.4
Dec 06 - 152.4 Exactly the same weight as Saturday. I'm not going to complain, but wish it was a little lower,lol.
Dec 13 - 150.4 Doing good this month. The next couple of weeks if I can just maintain I would be happy
Dec 20 - 152.8 back up. This month has been rough not even going to lie. So many parties and family gatherings it's been overwhelming. I am just happy I am maintaining. Still hoping for a pound or 2 loss, but I will take just maintaining to.
