    MFP Start weight: 160 lbs
    Started “just give 1 month” threads in Mid-Oct 2019 @ 157.4 lbs
    December start weight: 155.6 lbs
    December goal: 153 lbs
    Ultimate goal: 98 lbs, but that maybe too low. Main goal is to be healthier & stronger.

    October +2.6 lbs. (160)
    Nov. -2 lbs. (156.6 lbs)

    Dec 1 = 155.6
    Dec 2 = 156.6 Well, I'm not surprised cause I blew it, yesterday, and had 2 slices of pie.Why? just a weak moment & the temptation of this whole beautiful pie that was going to be thrown away. I took it home for my husband & then dove in, too. What a nut! I can & will do better!
    Dec 3 = 156.6
    Dec 4 = 156 :)
    Dec 5 = 157.6 :(
    Dec 6 = 157 :)
    Dec 7 = 157.8 :(
    Dec 8 = 157.8 Yesterday, was really rough. Very stressful. Somehow I must get used to my new normal of extra stress. Very frustrating with Drs, nurses, my Dad, Memory care, my dad's cough, medication.... I still to this moment haven't been able to get the medication called in.
    Dec 9 = 158.6 Binging yesterday & today... Not gonna give up yet! Expecting another gain tomorrow, tho.
    Dec 10 = 158 lbs. stuck with food plan today.
    Dec 11 = 157.2 lbs :)

    Starting weight 325lbs 22nd August 2019
    Start weight this month 274.6
    Goal weight this month 264
    Target goal weight 165lbs possibly less undecided yet!

    Going a little easier on my goal this month as I didn't make goal last month. Missed by 0.3lbs!

    Sept lost 14.9lbs
    October loss 12.1lbs
    November loss 11.6lbs

    1 December 274.6 up from yesterday by 1.3lbs. Too much exercise and not enough water! I'll learn eventually!

    2 December 274.1 down a little from yesterday but still 0.8lbs above my November low! Keep drinking the water!

    3 December 275.2 Not pleased with this but I have a really nasty water infection which I suspect is causing issues as I've not changed anything diet wise.

    4 December 274.2 Better but not great. Water infection still going strong. Have meds now so fingers crossed it goes soon.

    5 December 273.9 Better again but still 0.6lbs over my lowest so far. Water infection improving though so hopefully that'll show in tomorrow's weigh in.

    6 December 271.1! Finally I get a woohoo moment! Now at my lowest weight since October 2013. Maybe, just maybe goal is possible this month because I REALLY don't want to go back up just for Christmas! My best present is weighing less than I do now. :)

    7 December 270.9 delighted with this again! Had half expected a gain today so to lose again is awesome! 😁

    8 December 270.5 Woohoo again! This is 54.5lbs lost since starting. Only 1.5lbs to the 4 stone lost! Super pleased about this! 😊😃😁

    9 December 268.6! Super double woohoo! Really wasn't expecting that but am honestly so delighted. Definitely not screwing this up just for Christmas food!

    10 December - no weigh in, away with work.

    11 December - no weigh in away with work - very scary not having my daily weigh in guidance!

    12 December 267.9! Amazed and really delighted at this! 3.9lbs to go to December goal.

    August -2.2lb
    September +1.3lb
    October -1.3lb
    November -4.6lb

    During the holiday period I am aiming to maintain (I have a thread in the Maintenance forum, "Merry Maintenance Break") but will keep logging here when I can as I love this thread!

    06 Dec: 169.4 definitely carrying a little Thanksgiving/travel hangover
    07 Dec: 169.6
    08 Dec: didn't weigh
    09 Dec: 169.4 kept under maintenance cals with a lot of holiday socializing, just trying to stay steady
    10 Dec: 169.4
    11 Dec: 167.9 been waiting for this drop. While I know the BMI is a huuuuge and problematic generalization I am still happy to have arrived in the healthy weight range for the first time since 2017. I will be so happy if I can maintain over the next few weeks and get back into losing in the new year.
    12 Dec: 169.4 yes somebody had pizza and wine last night :sweat_smile: salad for breakfast today

    Back again. Starting the month out with a bit of inflated number due to way to much alcohol, food from Thanksgiving, eating out the last couple of days, and had a 5 day weekend with my family. Hopefully once I get back to work on Monday it will drop off fairly quickly. My lowest in November right before Thanksgiving was 137.7 and I am hoping to be back in the 130's by the end of the first week.

    May gained: 1.1 pounds (149.3)
    June lost: 3.4 pounds (145.9)
    July lost: 2.2 pounds (143.7)
    August lost: 0.1 pounds (143.6) maintained
    September lost: 2.7 pounds (140.9)
    October lost: 0.2 pounds (140.7) maintained
    November lost: 3 pounds (137.7) day before Thanksgiving 11/28


    01 Dec: 144.4 uuugghhh
    02 Dec: 145.7 ok back on track!
    03 Dec: 142.2 it's amazing what a little bit of water and a low carb day will do for your weight. Down 3.5 pounds, 4.5 to go to get back to where I was before my Thanksgiving holiday!
    04 Dec: 140.8 only 3.1 left to get back down
    05 Dec: 139.4 have been staying on track and back in the 130's. Only 1.7 pounds left to get rid of.
    06 Dec: 140.2 Cowboys played last night. Beer and pizza and a big LOSS!
    07 Dec: 137.7
    08 Dec: 138.8
    09 Dec: 138.8 Not to bad for a Monday.
    10 Dec: 138.3 should have been a little lower, but completely ok with this
    11 Dec: 138.3 I guess I am figuring out maintenance. Would like to be just a couple of pounds lower, but not unhappy right now
    12 Dec: 136.8 may be a tad dehydrated, but I liked what I saw on the scale this morning.

    I've lost a little more than 20 pounds since late July, but I've been slipping up lately and not hitting my calorie target as consistently as I was earlier in the process. My goal for December is to finish the year strong and get back into the "normal" BMI range (<157 lbs).

    Starting weight: 184.6
    Start weight this month: 163.7
    Goal weight this month: 156.9
    Target goal weight: TBD

    01 Dec: 163.7 - stayed on track with my diet; no exercise
    02 Dec: 164.1 - stayed on track with my diet; no exercise
    03 Dec: 163.3 - stayed on track with my diet; no exercise
    04 Dec: 162.6 - stayed on track with my diet; no exercise
    05 Dec: 162.5 - stayed on track with my diet; no exercise
    06 Dec: 162.1 - stayed on track with my diet (had to plan carefully around a restaurant meal); no exercise
    07 Dec: 162.0 - ate at or slightly above maintenance level (darn late-night stress snacking); no exercise (hope to do better with exercise this coming week)
    08 Dec: 161.7 - stayed on track with my diet; no exercise
    09 Dec: 161.7 - stayed on track with my diet; no exercise
    10 Dec: 162.1 - stayed on track with my diet; no exercise
    11 Dec: 161.9 - stayed on track with my diet (ate a little less in anticipation of higher intake tomorrow at a holiday party); no exercise
    12 Dec: 161.4 - ate around maintenance (had to estimate restaurant food - may see a spike on scale tomorrow); no exercise

    @kellyswimmer, I've been having a similar problem. I'm pretty comfortable at my current weight, and I have "diet fatigue" from all the tracking, meal planning, etc., so my motivation is slipping. I may take a maintenance break toward the end of the month to avoid burning out and falling back into old habits. I'd really like to lose the last few pounds to get into the "normal" BMI range first, but it depends on how long that takes. Good luck to you!

    Thank you for doing this again this month!
    Starting weight 179.5
    Start weight this month 140.2
    Goal weight this month 135.0
    Target goal weight 129.5

    This month I have so many events centered around eating. If I can get to 135, I will be thrilled. I was 137.2 before the Thanksgiving weekend, I think the first 3 pounds will come off easy, but not sure if I will lose any more this month. It is definitely going to be a yo-yo on the scales with all the big food events.

    01 Dec: 140.2 😬 gained 3 pounds over the weekend at my mother-in-laws for Thanksgiving. I am sure much of it was water weight, but I also enjoyed the meals and pies.
    02 Dec: 139.0 😏 already starting to come down.
    03 Dec: 137.8 😏 almost back to preThankgiving weight
    04 Dec: 137.2 😊Back to what I was before the weekend.
    05 Dec: 136.4 😃That was a nice surprise.
    06 Dec: 135.9 😁 YAY! But now I am at the airport flying to Las Vegas for a weekend of good friends, laughter and lots of good food! I am sure I will gain a few pounds over the next 2 days, but the plan is to lose them and a tiny bit more throughout next week, then next weekend of more festivities!
