    Starting weight on 7/25/2018: 309
    September start weight: 290
    October start weight: 279
    November start weight: 264.7
    December start weight: 254.8
    -————————————-
    Previous Week's weight: 249.1
    Today's Weight: 247.5

    I was down to 245 just before Christmas. So this isn’t too bad of a blip up after my mid week whoosh. Down 1.6 for the week. Gives me a 7.3 loss for the month. I’m ready for January!

    You might be the exception, Mike....posting a loss after Christmas! Definitely an inspiration!!

    Dec 27

    Yikes a rough week it has been but I am finished, finally... Today was a left over day which sent me over (especially carbs) and although yesterday I said I was done, i am for sure done tomorrow. At least I haven't touched the sweets lol

    This quote is so relative to me. I always gain weight at Christmas, but especially after Christmas with all the leftovers!! Last year I gained 8 pounds!! That is ludicrous!! My dinners were on the 23rd and the 25th, and neither day did I "stuff" myself where I felt awful. The 26th and 27th were a different story. So, today, I stop. Tomorrow I will weigh myself, and start the task of undoing the damage and trying to fit into my bathing suits!! (I leave for Mexico on the 24th).

    The New Year is an opportune time to restart the journey towards wellness. There are a few Big Butts who did not post a week #3 weigh-in. Why not post a weight this week (yes, it will be bad!!), but then commit to undoing the damage and getting back on track with this team of support that is already in place for you? Don't throw in the towel.....come back!!

    You were 229 last week, and started the month at 234. You lost one pound last week, and six pounds in total.....that is a successful December!!!!

    Previous weight = 192
    Current weight = 197.7

    I'm pretty happy with that, having been drinking, eating and being merry all week. I've sat building Lego for most of the week so inactive really and it's been a treat but I'm ready to go back to normal again. Huge thanks to this forum and @HASWLRS for accountability. This could have gone on and on and on! It's nice to draw a line under the festive period and start working on my forever self again. I really hope everyone enjoyed and did things that make them happy!

    I love the phrase "draw a line under the festive period and start working on my forever self again". Too many of us forget to draw that line and then keep on going with the destructive eating and lack of movement. You enjoyed the "merry" part of Christmas, and now it's time to get back to normal!! We should all do the same!

    I forgot to weigh myself today (based on my weight the day after Xmas it will be bad)
    I had to attend a funeral this morning so needless to say my mind wasn’t on the scale. I will do it this weekend

    My condolences, Erik. Saturday morning, if you remember. And yes, I suspect that most weigh-ins after Tuesday of this week will not be good!!

    I forgot to weigh in today I’ll try and remember tomorrow. I have been thrown off since My sons Holiday basketball 🏀 tournament. Too many games and crazy meals . I have been sticking with the IF part but have not stuck with the keto part. So I guess I have been “ delaying don’t deny IF life style”
    TGIF
    Another day of basketball 🏀 tomorrow.

    WEIGH IN
    Last week: 176.4
    Dec 28: 181.8

    I'm about to go into my time of the month, which always makes me hold onto water. I know that my number will drop in a few days. I also fell slightly off of the wagon. I've been battling my depression for months, and have really had a hard time getting back on track.
    I lost 150lbs, and then had a bunch of things kind of blow apart in my personal life. I have just lost the motivation to really go for it. I know how to lose weight. I just need to do it. I got back to tracking today, and back to IF. I think IF was really what helped me to not snack this last time, so I'm going to go back to it!

    Tracking: yes
    Calories: yes
    Exercise: Practiced Zumba and walked

    Weigh in
    Last: 250.1
    This: 256.0

    I expected to be up some but this is annoying. It’s amazing how I have to bust my butt and the gym and eat perfectly just to barely lose a pound, but I can have one unhealthy long weekend and gain six like it’s nothing.
    Guess I have some work to do.
    Still have my Dad’s bday, the Eagles game and NYE. By this math I’ll be starting January back in the 260s. Oh well
