ovember 26: 66.5kg bloated (PMS)
November 27: 66.3kg
November 28: 66.2kg
November 29: 65.5kg yay!

December 1: 64.7kg 😊 feeling good

December 2: goal 65kg
December 3: 64.9kg bloated
December 4: 64.7kg
December 5: 64.9kg haven’t been feeling great so not getting any cardio in but still in deficit only managed to get 600cals in today unfortunately
December 6: 64.4kg
December 7: 65kg (bloating from late dinner)

December 9: goal 63.5kg not gonna be at goal but it was aiming high anyway no weigh in due to upset stomach
December 10: 64.3kg didn’t eat anything yesterday feeling ill

I just found this challenge. I’m starting 2 days late on November 26.

Starting weight: 184.0
Ending weight: TBD
Goal weight: 179.0

November 26: 184.0
November 27: 187.8
November 28: 185.6
November 29: 183.6
November 30: 182.4 Thanksgiving Dinner Feast tonight with family. I expect a gain on the scale tomorrow.
December 01: 187.4 I honestly ate child sized portions but I guess it adds up. My best figure is under 2300 but I did quick calories on MFP at 2350. I burned almost 2600 so I’m not sure I understand the gain when I know there was less calories in than out, but that’s carbs for ya! Okay so I am supposed to lose 5 pounds by Christmas and I gain 5 pounds overnight just by eating at maintenance! So I have my work cut out for me but I’m not a quitter so here goes nothing!
December 02: (Goal for 1st week: 183.0) Actual weight: 183.2 Yay! TMI potty helped tremendously as it had been a few days. So I have about made goal afterall and am pleased as punch! Now, to keep up the momentum!
December 03: 183.6 This must be a normal fluctuation. Everything was perfect yesterday-Calories, Carbs & Increased exercise. It will show up sooner or later because diligence always pays off.
December 04: 182.6 Very happy with the 1 lb loss. Travel & food tomorrow. Looking forward to all but the scale on the 6th!
December 05: Travel Day. Sitting during long drives. Shopping. Restaurants. However, what goes up must come down so no worries though I will dread the scale tomorrow. Yesterday was sloppy joes, baked beans & candy corn at a friend’s house. I should have ate it without the bun but I was starving.
December 06: 186.6 After travel weigh-in
December 07: 187.4 Birthday party today for DGS #4. He’s turning 2.
December 08: 188.4 No way to make the weekly goal.
December 09: (Goal for 2nd week: 182.0) Actual weight: 188.2
December 10: 188.8 Dinner at a friends. Chicken Alfredo pasta. Yikes! On a good note, I walked almost 21,000 steps yesterday and nearly 9 miles. Today I will be diligent and get back on track with the food plan!
December 11: 188.8 Decorating done. Wrapping marathon began last night. Its hard to do everything alone since my husband died. Its both a physical and an emotional challenge. I was not diligent after all last night. Today I will strive to be better.
December 12: 186.6 A nice Whoosh overnight after a very careful day of food planning. Very little movement and no exercising because of wrapping, wrapping, wrapping which continues to be ongoing. However, I’m proud I did well on my diet because I was HUNGRY all day! 1229 Calories is usually enough!
