@deepwoodslady, {{{hugs}}} Donna. Your gain will probably be gone faster than you think.

Thanks for the encouragement. I will get where I am going. Sometimes I get sidetracked, but I never get lost!

Didn’t make my goal but very happy that I lost weight at all this month!! See you all next month! Have a Happy New Year!! 🎉🎉

You did well! I think it's miraculous losing in December, too. Happy New Year!

Thanks Birder165!! You did great as well!! Way to go on losing 5.6lbs!! Best of luck next month!!

Post from yesterday seems to be lost.

On WW since Dec 16. Seemed to work at first. Not this week. But I went 10 points over this week, which is rare for me.
5 lbs = about 2.3k.
New month, new year. Hopefully will be better.

December starting weight : 246.8 (12/17)
12/24: 248 (Glad I joined this group. It could have easily been 258, but I did think about checking in here and it restrained me a bit.)
12/31: 246.4 (I lost 70 pounds over the past two years and then gained 25 back since this summer. January will be a good month! I have control of the runaway train that is my appetite.)

I missed December..and it definitely shows on my scale...hoping there will be a January challenge to help get me back on track.

I am in for another round.

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.
Dec 27 - 153.7 better than yesterday, but still up for December. I knew if I could just maintain through this month I would be lucky. To bad I have another 4 day weekend and 2 big dinners for New Years. Ready to get January started and get back on track.
Dec 31 - 151.8 My last day of November was 153.8. So I am down a little bit for December. Not where I wanted to be, but it was a very rough month!

•Monday Updates•📌
12/1 - 178.8 - carbs 12/28 - 174 - Out all day yesterday visiting family. Ate nothing but a couple ounces of sunflower seeds and hot tea. Hungry when I returned home (past my eating window) and really struggled to get calories above 1000. I had to choose higher calorie foods and do a lot of adjusting of food amounts. 12/29 - 174.2 - Tiny bit of fluid retention. Another one meal day yesterday. Always unintentional, but it comes to that when I'm out all day. Went over calories trying to get my protein up. Both were low on Thursday.

12/30 - 175 - ginger snaps and french bread w/olive oil and butter 😋 but 😧 but yeah😋 My niece's party today. I expect my morning weigh in to be rough.

12/31 - 175.8 - After party fluid gain. Lost 2.4lb this month according to the numbers. From Dec 31, 2017 to Dec 31, 2018, 55lbs GONE! What can I accomplish in 2019?

December 31, 2018 - Lost 2.4lbs 😃

So glad holiday eating choices are over. I didn’t hit my goal but glad I didn’t give!

December 1 - 193 - up one pound from yesterday : - ( (186 would have been the reading on the new scale)
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.
December 17 -192
December 18 -192
December 19 -190.5
December 20 -190 - I am thinking of getting a digital scale like y'all seem to have. I just have an old school one.
December 21 -190 - Looks even slightly less than that, but I am on a "regular" scale. I did buy a digital scale yesterday, but after setting it up I stepped on it 5 times and each time it was different so I will return it today and try to get a better one. Skated yesterday - 600 calorie burn, I have been at good input levels all week.
December 22 -182.2 - New scale. 189.2-ish on my old scale
December 23 -181.5 - Unbelievable since I had a steak with all of the trimmings, alcohol drinks. Maybe it will catch up with me, maybe it is because of the Zumba yesterday.
December 24 -184.8 - 3 pound gain?? That is just crazy. Already learning from weighing every day about fluctuations, but this is the biggest so far. I upped my water from 2 glasses per day to 8 yesterday. 184.1 after the bathroom lol.
December 25 -185.0
December 26 -183.7 - It is an indulgent week, I have had to up my exercise.
December 27 -183.9 - I am not trying awfully hard. I am enjoying the holiday foods and drinks.
December 28 -183.3 - Skating negated those extra calories yesterday : - )
December 29 -181.7 - Wow, .7 shy of a 5 pound loss for the month. Crazy that I was 3.3 pounds more on Dec 25th 4 days ago. Weighing every day has been an eye opener. I haven't been very "good" this week, so it might catch up with me. I did skate yesterday (which might drain fluid/water).
December 30 -182.2 - That is a bit deflating. I had such a good day output and input-wise. Again though, I did drink more than my usual 2 glasses of water, and the last time that I did that I gained 3 pounds in one day. Could be still catching up from some of the "bad" days too. No matter what, my new scale automatically "lost" me 7 pounds just over a week ago, which could have taken me 2 months to do by carefully cutting calories and working out. I'll take it : - )
December 31 -182.3

December loss : 3.7lbs (I started December a pound higher than the previous day)
Since November 30th: 2.7lb loss - Really not going off fast enough for my liking. See you all in the January thread : - )
