    Hi everyone, I am really keen to enter and STAY in ONEderland in 2019, so January is always a month of fresh starts and I am hoping to see that 1xx.x or to at least develop the habits I will need to have a successful 2019.

    Question: Does my weigh-in tomorrow, 12/31 count for December or have we completed Dec. today? 12/30 I'm assuming that my weight tomorrow will be my starting weight for January. Right?

    Hi, my MFP name is Starshine15 and I'm returning for my 2nd month of the Biggest Loser Challenge. Fourteen years ago, I lost 120 lbs and I've kept it off - a major accomplishment for me. I've set a goal weight of 165, not quite 20 lbs from where I am. I've battled for several years to take those lbs off and I'm now ready! Let's GO TEAM Flab-u-less and strive for #1 in January!

    Happy New Year to all and I wish us all well in reaching our goals.

    Congrats to @mram3582 for being the #2 Biggest Loser for the month of December! You rock!

    @AB0215 Thanks for getting those all put in. I was keeping a paper copy, but you just saved me all that time! Gonna be a great month! Lots of new joiners!

    @mram3582 I'm doing it because the sheet isn't finished yet and it's sort of hard to fix it if someone accidentally messes up a formula while I'm doing the registrations which I left open a few extra days to get some of those last minute New Year's Resolutioners. Should be finished late tomorrow.

    @Starshine15 This is the January Challenge, all weeks run from Sunday to Saturday so they don't line up perfectly with the 1st day of the month and the last day of the month, and your December Week 4 weight is what is used as your starting weight for January so that would be from last week, it just continues on.

    Welcome to the Challenge new and returning teammates!! This is the conversation/weigh in thread for your Team :) Keep on losing because our first weigh ins begin THIS Sunday! I am here for you should you need anything - simply message me or tag me by putting an '@' just before my username (NO SPACES) and I will get to you asap! ~ Ashley @AB0215 or Craig @craigo3154 .

    Hi @AB0215 please remove me from Team Flab U Less
    Thank you.

    Good luck everyone! I wonโ€™t be taking part again until I stop breastfeeding my baby. Not fair on the team that I canโ€™t push myself as much as I would like.

    Kick butt this month!

    @karent768 We'll miss you, but we understand about not being able to eat in a big deficit while breastfeeding. Come back whenever you can! Best of luck!

    Daily Post: 12/30 Sunday
    Track: yes
    Calories: under
    Exercise: no, but they assured me that I will be off Tues or Wed. since I was suppose to be off today (not holding my breath)
    Daily goal: Make sure to pack an auto-inflatable raft just in case I am ever on an airplane that crashes in the Himalayas. Tomorrow we do this!
    *For the newcomers that are confused about my daily goal...the first month that I was on here, I got bored with the same goal everyday of "eat less, move more", so I decided to jazz it up a little. At the time, we had a lot of sci-fi/fantasy fans, so I started making random references every night. When I tried to stop doing the daily goals, people started demanding more references.....SO....that is why it is something crazy every night*

    @WA_Teacher Only 3lbs after a Christmas fish fry and bbq!! That is an outright victory in my book! I would have upped the ante to at least 8lbs :#

    Thanks! I was scared to get on the scale this morning. I was glad that I was able to get out for a daily walk of at least a mile. It was great to get away from rainy and cold weather and into the sunny and 70 degrees. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    Well, it's back to it! I'm recycling my previous goals of 7 hours of sleep and 64 ounces of water each day. This goal is needed more than ever after the Christmas holiday. I've had many late nights and many alcoholic beverages.๐Ÿ˜‰

    Daily Post: December 30th
    Track: Yes
    Calories: Over: It was a busy day of running errands, restocking the fridge, and working in my classroom. So I ate out for breakfast and dinner today.
    Exercise: 63 min walk
    Goal: Last night: 5 hours
    Today's water intake: 30 ounces

    Hey everyone! This is my second consecutive month on this group, and the last one was a very nice experience. The mutual support and empathy on this group has been amazing, and also kept me from losing it when I made mistakes (like eating 800 calories more, feeling bad and wanting to eat 800 more). In spite of the holidays, December was a good month since I lost about 5lbs. I'd like to lose 5 more this month.

    @mram3582 : can I switch my weigh-in day to Monday? I'll be away the last ten days of the challenge (from Jan 25), and am not sure if I can weigh myself then. By weighing on a weekday I would miss only one weigh-in!

    @Suezq72760 Just as a heads up, January will have 5 Weeks, taking it to Feb 2 to try to even up the weeks as closely as possible.

    @AB0215 Got it, thanks! May need the extra week. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    @Suezq72760 I'm so glad that you got to have a great time with your family! Be safe coming home!
    @ghy5 Yep, tomorrow starts a brand new year and everyone is kicking it into gear. This has to be the 1st year in a long time that I can actually say that I weigh less at the end of December than I did at the beginning. It is because of the accountability that we have here too. You're doing great!
    @rekvar12 a 5lbs loss over the Christmas holiday is a complete victory in my book! It is only going to get better in Jan. also! And yes, I will switch your weigh day to Monday. You've got this!

    I am pushing for a big loss this week. I want to ditch the water weight I gained over the holidays and feel like I am back into the grind. I will get things started by trying out a new weight training DVD tomorrow. Happy new year!
