This brings to an end my 4 month challenge. There is no way I'm going to lose any weight over the next 7 days!

Overall, I'm disappointed to have missed my goal weight but happy to have lost the weight I've lost. I'm now the lightest I've ever been in my adult life, which is something to be happy about. Looking over my progress, I think I need to be more consistent in my weight loss. There were too many weeks where I lost a big chunk of weight then followed it up with no weight loss or even some weight gain.

Thanks to everyone who participated, it provided a good source of motivation. Looking forward to the next one.

NOV. 01: 177.6
NOV. 05: 177.2 Lots of travel this week. Oh no!
NOV. 12: 177.6 Better than expected. I actually went up drastically earlier in the week after 5 days of travel (I hit over 180), so I am relieved it is working it’s way back down. Have a great week everyone!
NOV. 19: 178.6 I am not proud but it is due to yet more traveling. From here to the New Year I will be doing lots of it. I enjoy it, but hate the affects of restaurant dining.
NOV. 26: [limegreen]180.4[/color=limegreen] Thankgiving dinner feast was yesterday for our family. Then, weigh today. Ugg. I actually ate way less than the old days, but still ended up quite bloated. Caved for the pecan pie which is never good. Next week will be a huge improvement.
NOV. 30: 178.1 A small loss since the 26th, but a bad month overall. Ugg.

NOVEMBER GOAL : 159.9
NOVEMBER ACTUAL: 178.1
………………………………TOTAL GAIN IN NOV: 0.9 lbs

DEC. 01: 178.0 Late December will be very difficult with all the social gatherings, baking and receiving baked goods, the Feasts and the restaurants while doing the out-of-town shopping. However, today is only December 1st and I am going to do my best to make these first couple of weeks count and help neutralize my overall stats for the month. A joyous time of year, but lets all enjoy it in good health.
DEC. 03: 178.4 A small bounce due to my Grandson’s first birthday party. I managed to be more mindful of my portions but enjoyed my day. More carbs and calories that are normal to my plan, and very little water but overall a success in my attitude about the food.
DEC. 10: 180.4 From bad to worse. The Christmas bug has gotten a hold of me. All the festivities and travels far & wide for shopping. All the restaurants. I’ve got to keep my chin up out of the water or I just may drown. Goal: get through December alive and without much damage, January is just ahead.
DEC. 17: 180.4 No progress whatsoever except on the shopping scene. Well, I suppose if I can just hold steady, January will not be such a personal challenge! No way I am coming anywhere near my goal, however, I remain honest with myself and accountable. I continue to log and make good choices whenever I can be at home and more in control of the food choices.
DEC. 24: 183.3 Oh my. And another party tonight! Merry Christmas everyone!

*My dietitian says this is too much and my doctor is concerned. At the moment I am working very hard at maintaining. I'm posting because I started the challenge and I like to complete what I start. However, haven't posted in the last few weeks because I thought my weight loss was excessive especially now I'm in the normal BMI range for my height. I'm not encouraging other people to lose weight at this rate as it has health consequences such as postural drop in blood pressure and low magnesium.
