    Starting weight:- 173 pounds
    Goal weight this month:- 169
    Target goal weight:- 140

    We can do this! One step at a time, one pound at a time!

    01 Dec: Did not weigh.
    02 Dec: 173
    03 Dec: 173
    04 Dec: 172.8
    05 Dec: 172.2
    06 Dec: 172
    07 Dec: Did not weigh
    08 Dec: 171.8
    7 days since weighing. Down 1.2 pounds. Have committed this time around to lose 1lb per week, possibly less. It's hard to realize that the older I am, the harder it is to lose and dropping 5lbs in a week is just not realistic anymore. I'm trying to re-set that thought process and commit to logging every day and losing 1lb per week.

    Looking at all the posters' numbers, and seeing your 'slow but sure' numbers coming down - had I committed to this 2 months ago, I would be down 8lbs by now!

    09 Dec: 171.8 Treadmill 30 mins.
    10 Dec: 172 :( Treadmill 30mins. Felt a tweek lower back in the last 2 mins, been uncomfortable all day.Will probably take a break tomorrow.
    11 Dec: 171.8 No exercise; food on track
    12 Dec: 172 And so the yo-yo continues!

  • 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! πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜

    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.

    13 December 267.2! Didn’t expect to lose again today so doubly delighted with this. MFP just works! 3.2lbs to make December goal. πŸ˜€

    Original weight: 234 lbs
    End of month/year goal weight: 206 lbs

    07 Dec: (didn't weigh myself...I just didn't want to know. I knew it was higher than 210 based on what I ate, and didn't want to see it)
    08 Dec: 210.0
    09 Dec: 210.0
    10 Dec: 209.0 (I was weirdly full yesterday, and WAY under my calorie limit)
    11 Dec: 208.2 (same thing today. Not sure what's going on. I've felt bloated and not particularly hungry)
    12 Dec: 208.6
    13 Dec: 207.6 (same as 10th/11th. The odd thing here is that, normally, if I adhere to my diet, I'll wake up actually "feeling" thinner, particularly in my torso. This week, I haven't...I've felt extra bloated. The numbers are doing what I want them to, but I haven't been feeling quite right. Hoping this isn't a period of muscle loss).

    03 Dec: 202.0, traveling βœ” greasy high carb high sodium food βœ” PMS bloating and water retention βœ” what a hell of a 24 hours :(
    04 Dec: 202.5, unmotivated today, ate at maintenance. Got a new food scale though so tomorrow will be more motivated:D
    05 Dec: 203.0
    06 Dec: 202.2, coming back down :smile:
    07 Dec: 200.8, can not wait to hit my beginning of the month weight. Getting closer and closer
    08 Dec: 201.8, very late dinner
    09 Dec: 200.8
    10 Dec: 200.8, likely not eating much today. Slipped and fell last night and hit near my temple on my son's desk. It hurts to open my mouth all the way. Mix with a severe lack of sleep and it is not gonna be a good day.

    11 Dec: 200.0, knew this was gonna happen, didn't eat a whole lot as my head and jaw are sore. Went to the dr and found out that I have a concussion. Wont be eating a lot today either and will be spending the next 2 days resting as I get dizzy still.

    12 Dec: 200.4, still holding onto water, man its annoying

    13 Dec: 202.4, ya know after the week I've had and finding out that I can't really do Christmas for my family( I have a few things for my kids already ) I feel like I just want to quit. I don't even think we can get a tree. All I want to do is eat my feelings but that isn't going to help me in the long run either. Can a girl get a good cry over here? :(

    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
    13 Dec: 161.4 - happy not to see a spike on the scale after yesterday; diet and exercise TBD

    MFP Start weight: 160 lbs
    Started β€œjust 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 :)
    Dec 12 = 156.6 lbs :)
    Dec 13 = 158.4 lbs :( Was much better with food the last couple days, so I was surprised with it. Obviously, I did not stick with my food plans completely... I can do this!!!!!!

    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.
    13 Dec: 137.7 Christmas party tonight so going to try and keep it together

    edited December 2019
    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 πŸ˜ƒThat 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!

    10 Dec: 138.5 😬😑😫 Yep way up from a fun time in Las Vegas! The question is can I get back to 135.9 before Friday? Friday night is a huge Company dinner. And Saturday night we are hosting my daughter's Graduation party! She graduates with a Bachelor of Science! So proud! πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ“πŸŽ“πŸΎπŸ₯‚
    11 Dec: 137.1 😏πŸ€ͺ Still have 1.2 pound to get back to preweekend weight. Can I make it by Friday? Fingers crossed!
    12 Dec: 136 😊😁 Almost back to pre-Las Vegas weight! Fingers crossed I am there tomorrow!
    13 Dec: 135.4 😁😁😁 Made it below my pre-Las Vegas weight, and only .4 pounds to my December goal. But tonight I have a Company dinner at Maestros Ocean Club, so fun, so yummy and so many calories πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹. Then tomorrow night my daughter's graduation partyπŸ₯‚πŸΎπŸŽ“πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ“, so much fattening food and celebration! I will be fighting to recoop my weight again next week, but that will be the story of December.

    Target goal weight 154
    13 Dec: 167.9 last weigh in (for me) for December as I take off tomorrow for four weeks of travel and gatherings with family and friends. I am excited but also genuinely nervous about going that long without the scale. For the first week or two I will try to trust my tracking but if things get wobbly I might have to find a way to weigh in once or twice. I aim to maintain, not lose, during this period. I have found these threads great for keeping my head in the game so thank you @kellyswimmer and happy holidays friends :heart:

    Enjoy your family and your travels, we (and your scale) will be here when you return!
    Have fun!

    πŸŽ„ Welcome to the minefield that is December πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

    Journey so far:
    Jan 2015: I joined MFP, and gradually reduced
    Oct 2016: finally hit my target of 155
    Dec 2018: Had gradually wavered up again to 170s
    Jan 2019: Set new goal of 155 by end of the year
    July 2019: had bounced up and down between 160 and 170
    Aug 2019: Gave myself the proverbial kick up the a** and buckled down!
    Oct 2019: Set new goal weight of 150 by year end
    Nov 2019: Hit goal late Nov. I’m now focusing on increasing strength workouts
    Aug: -8.31 (a lot of this was holiday weight gained in July)
    Sept: -4.71
    Oct: -4.2
    Nov: -2.2 (Strength workouts temporarily slowing progress)

    OSW: 227 (Mar 2014)
    CSW: 170.1 (1 Aug 2019)
    DEC SW: 150
    GW: Under 150

    01 Dec: 150
    02 Dec: 150
    03 Dec: 149.9
    04 Dec: 149.6
    05 Dec: 148.8 Pleased that weight is moving again. This is the lowest I have been since my late 30s.
    06 Dec: 149.2 Normal daily fluctuations are a fact of life. And I have several shindigs today, so expect another temporary bounce up tomorrow.
    07 Dec: 150.4 Not too badly over goal, but salty snacks at wine tasting last night have had the inevitable result. It's the tightrope we walk. However, bouncing around 150 is vastly preferable to the 170s of last December.
    08 Dec: 149.6 Hopefully on the way down again but could just be normal daily fluctuations
    Mo 09/12: 148.6 I made better choices yesterday, but have a Christmas celebration with my Monday Painters after lunch, so eating light the rest of the day.
    Tu 10/12: 148.8 Phew! Not to bad. But this morning I am celebrating with my Craft Group. See what I mean about December being a minefield! πŸ˜‚
    We 11/12: 149.2 And there it is! I'm wearing my celebrations πŸŽ‰ but today I am shopping (lots of walking) anc chores at home so will avoid the goodies.
    Th 12/12: 147.8 Yesterday I got in an extra hour walking in the unexpected sunshine after lunch. And had mostly healthy snacks. (Ate a ring doughnut at my evening crochet group, but still over 600+ Of a deficit, even after that. After almost 5 years working at changing my previous bad habits, hoping this is my new normal. 🀞🏻🀞🏻🀞🏻
    13 Dec: 148.8 One or two social events.
    14 Dec: 148.6 Normal fluctuations πŸ˜‚
