My goal is to lose 5+ pounds by Christmas as a present to myself! Who's with me?! Let's work together to avoid the holiday sweets that suddenly start appearing everywhere this time of year. Whether at work, home, or holiday party's, temptations are everywhere! Time to keep ourselves as accountable as possible, and fit in some exercise here and there!!!

    I would definitely like to achieve this! Feeling pretty down about myself as I keep yo-yo dieting. I would say "this is the time it's going to stick!" but I always think it's going to be and it hasn't yet lol. My doctor brought up my weight this week so I've used it as motivation for this round. Let's see what happens!

    Also, yay Slytherpuff! :wink:

    So I encourage any who join this challenge, to post both their successes and struggles on a regular basis. Maybe not every day, but every couple of days, or once a week. I personally am going to post how I'm doing every couple of days. I'll share my weight loss results on a weekly a basis. Everyone is welcome to share whatever they are comfortable with. We're here to help each-other! Also, if anyone wants to friend request me- feel free! :smile:

    This is my goal! If I can lose 5 lbs by Christmas, I'll be 15 lbs lighter than I was last Christmas. Then I will need to lose another 15 lbs to get down to my goal.
    I'm determined.

    How's everyone doing so far?

    I've been really proud of myself for keeping within my calorie limit every day, and bringing meals in to work. I know I'm losing weight. Although I may not know just how much until my new scale gets delivered sometime between Dec 17- 21. Which I'm kind of glad about. I don't have to worry about my weight until then. I only have to focus on my diet. But I know my results are going to be good! Anyone else feeling confident? Not sure how long it will last, lol, but so far so good. Hope everyone is doing well. Everyone please remember to be kind to yourselves! Stay focused! Stay optimistic! :smiley:

    Welcome Resilientmama!
    -Medusacircle, I too struggled this past weekend. My brother's Birthday came with many temptations, and lots of stress. I stress ate the temptations. Ugh. Oh well, I'm back at it, and super motivated to lose that 5 pounds by Christmas! My new scale has yet to be delivered, so I have no idea how much weight I've lost so far, but I'll find out soon! :)
    Life lesson from this weekend - For every step backwards, we take 2 steps forward!
