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 pre-Thankgiving 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!

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! 👩🎓🎓🍾🥂
11 Dec: 137.1 😏🤪 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 😋😋. Then tomorrow night my daughter's graduation party🥂🍾🎓👩🎓, 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.

16 Dec: 139.4 😫😯Wow! What a little (ok a lot) of alcohol🤪, and a lot of desserts will do to your weight. My daughter's party👩🎓🎓🍾🥂 was SO much work to get ready... I got in 30,000 steps that day, but it was SO nice and fun once it started! Here is to hoping I get down to 135 before Friday... I am wearing a REALLY tight dress💃 to another company dinner... I know spanks will help, but they are not miracle workers😊.
17 Dec: 137.4 😯😁 Going back down, again. While this is getting tiresome, the only other choice is to just not eat at my celebrations, which would really not go over well with the family, or in some instances, even possible. So, the yo-yo weight will continue through December. I still have high hopes I will meet my month goal of 135, then hit my target goal weight of 129.5 in January.
My bad days for the rest of December includes this Thursday, my company's luncheon (going to try to stay within my calorie budget this day)👩🏫🥗, this Friday, my husband's company dinner (this will be a high calorie day)💃🍷🍸, Christmas Eve🎄🎅, Christmas Day🎅🤶, December 28, high school friends yearly get together👭, and New Year Eve🥂🎉.
18 Dec: 136.4 😊😁 Coming down! 1 more pound and I will be back to my lowest this month. I would love to hit 135 by Friday! We will see!
😫PS: LOST MY FITBIT SHOPPING YESTERDAY!😡😤 I know I lost it at 1:00 pm that is when it stopped syncing. Now to figure out where I was at 1 pm, and go back there. Is there a way for your GPS on your phone tell you where you were at a certain time?🙄
19 Dec: 135.0 😁🤗😍 Great Day! Hit my December goal!!! 🎉🥳 🎉Now to maintain until January!
AND I FOUND my fitbit. It had fallen into one of my bags! It was in my car all along.
20 Dec: 134.7 🤩 And so round 3 of weekend festivities begins. Tonight is my husband's comfy party, cocktail attire, though i am going over the top in a sparkly pearled short tight dress! Feel good with my weight, though still need to wear spanks.💃Lots of eating tonight, so we will battle back down for a few days until Christmas Eve!🎅☃️
Have a wonderful weekend! ❤, thanks for this forum!😘🥰

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 (revised goal as of 12/17: 159.6)
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; ate above maintenance (holiday party #2); no exercise
14 Dec: 161.5 - happy not to see a spike after holiday party #2; ate way too much at holiday party #3 today; no exercise
15 Dec: 164.4 - I can tell I'm retaining water after yesterday's party food - hopefully my weight will normalize again quickly; stayed on track with my diet (ate a little less than normal because I wasn't as hungry after yesterday's feasting); no exercise
16 Dec: 162.5 - nice to see most of the scale spike disappear - I still feel like I'm retaining water, but it's also possible that I gained some actual fat - will see what the scale does over the next few days; stayed on track with my diet; 20-minute workout
17 Dec: 162.0 - stayed on track with my diet; 20-minute workout
18 Dec: 160.9 - not sure this low number will last, but nice to see this morning; stayed on track with my diet; 20-minute workout
19 Dec: 160.0 - a new low for me on this weight loss journey - sooo close to the 150's now; stayed on track with my diet; 20-minute workout
20 Dec: 159.3 - HAPPY DANCE! I hit the 25lbs-lost mark, plus got back into the 150's - with the holidays coming up, I will be happy if I can end the year at this weight; diet and exercise TBD (probably a maintenance+ day due to dinner out)3 -

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
14 Dec: 138.8 another party for the fights tonight
15 Dec: 137.7 football and relaxing
16 Dec: NW forgot when I got up this am
17 Dec: 142.2 way to many parties and a 3 day weekend. Back to work
18 Dec: 139.9 well I have not lost an ounce this month, but I seem to be maintaining pretty well. It's been a rough month!
19 Dec: 138.9 I am just trying to get through this month, lol

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.
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. 😀
14 December 267.2 still delighted with this!
15 December 268.1. Not delighted with this but we’ll deserved since I had a Christmas meal out last night with friends and not enough water! Onwards and downwards to December goal.
16 December 267.9 Heading in the right direction again but I've got a tough week ahead. Away in a hotel with hubby until Thursday night. Which means eating out. Going to be very careful but worried because I won't have my scales or control of what I'm eating!
17 December no weigh in as staying away with hubby.
18 December no weigh in as staying away with hubby.
19 December 268.9. This was a very late in the day weigh in as we got home late. It’s also that TOM so overall I’m actually okay with this. 1lb on after 3 days of eating out and that time is a good result. I was dreading seeing a potential 6lbs go on and it didn’t so I’m good 😊
20 December 267.9 back to pre trip weight. Treadmill session done this morning and being much more careful with calories today.2 -

December goal: 64kg/141
Oct loss: 4.4kg/9.7
Nov loss: 3kg/6.6
01 Dec: 67.6/149 This month will be interesting
02 Dec: 68/149.9 All from the weekend 😐 hopefully today’s efforts change the direction.
03 Dec: 67.2/148.2 🙂 TOM
04 Dec: 67.5/148.8 calories have been ok.
05 Dec: 66.7/147
06 Dec: 66.7/147 Cal’s ok, food TERRIBLE
07 Dec: 66.5/146.6 Cal’s ok food 😔
08 Dec: 66.3/146.1 Cal’s ok food 😔 went shopping for better food so hopefully I eat it!
09 Dec: 66.1/145.7 Cal’s ok, moved treadmill from HOT garage to air conditioned office. Haven’t been using it for weeks 🥵 no excuse now!
10 Dec: 66 /145.5 Cal’s ok food good
11 Dec: 65.9/145.3 Cal’s a bit over, had a frozen drink guesstimated what I thought was a generous calorie amount got home and looked up real Cal’s 😱😱
12 Dec: 65.9/145.3 Cal’s a bit over yesterday
13 Dec: 66/145.5 Cal’s a bit over yesterday. Last day of school for the kids before 7 weeks off. I love school holidays but I think it will make things harder, have a plan so hoping to prove myself wrong 😃
14 Dec: 65.7/ 144.8
15 Dec: 65.7/144.8
16 Dec: 66.1/145.7 🧐 it’s super hot here and I’ve puffed up again. Had to loosen my watch, belt and bra so I thought the number would actually be higher! Also went over in calories yesterday but not by much.
17 Dec: 66.1/145.7 still hot, 4 hours sleep last night. Someone else on here mentioned they gain around ovulation... I have never noticed before but looking back over last three months, I have gained about 1Kg/2.2lbs in the same three days leading up. If it does it next month I’ll be convinced it’s not a coincidence. Not sure if it’s a fluid thing or a bad food choice thing (that adds fluid) because I know that’s a problem around there for me. I dislike cooking and I always end up baking something like biscuits or cheesecake something high Cal’s. So interesting!! 😃
18 Dec:65.5
19 Dec:65.7/144.8 no excercise just spring cleaning (AKA impending visit from Mother in Law and Great Mother in Law 😏 not sure if that’s a thing) not too worried about numbers going up, still puffy.
20 Dec: 65.4/144.2
21 Dec: 65.1/143.5 want to be extra good the next few days so I can finish the year under 65 which is my pre having babies weight (9 years ago!)

12 Dec: 61.5 (cardio and some abs)
13 Dec: 61.1 (yay! I am away from home and found a scale so hope this change is not some variance because of the different scale and is still reflected in my own machine once I get home!)
14 Dec: 61.1 (yay! This is back in my own usual home scale! So happy! Tantalisingly close to my December goal!)
15 Dec: 61.3 (oops! I had it coming I guess. Ate heavy meals and snacked on greasy high sodium foods to boot! I spent an hour on the treadmill hoping to burn it but I guess it wasn’t enough! I will be good today!)
16 Dec: 61.2 (picking the heaviest of the three different weights my machine chose to show me this morning! But I am sure this is going down, I was really good yesterday with eating and exercise.)

18 Dec: 60.8 (yay! Good food, cardio and abs)
19 Dec: 61.0 (well I knew this was coming, but I really enjoyed the food I had so I don’t regret it. I suppose once in a week I am entitled to treating myself, it is the holiday season after all! I will be good today and tomo we will see a drop, I am pretty sure!)
20 Dec: 60.6kg (yay! Being good with food watching, cardio and abs paid off)
21 Dec: 60.2kg (yay! New goal reached! Modifying my goal now! But, well, I did skip dinner and sleep off early. So hope this change is reflected in the scale tomo too!)

My master's is in special education, and My daughter is a behavioral analyst for a school for children with autism z they have children from kindergarten to 8th grade. She tells me stories every day about her students. Some break my heart, others cheer up my soul. What you do is incredibly hard work, but so rewarding, and so impactful. Thank you!2 -

🎄 Welcome to the minefield that is December 😂🤣😂😂🤣
Journey so far:Jan 2015: I joined MFP, and gradually reducedAug: -8.31 (a lot of this was holiday weight gained in July)
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
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: 15002 Dec: 150Mo 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.
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
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! 😂
We 11/12: 149.2 And there it is! I'm wearing my celebrations 🎉 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. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Fri 13 Dec: 148.8 One or two social events.
Sat 14 Dec: 148.6 Normal fluctuations 😂 Next week is relatively clear of social events, so there will be less temptation to stray.
Sun 15 Dec: 147.2 Stayed on track yesterday. Spent most of the day doing prep on sleeping arrangements for family visiting over Christmas. Our outdoor lights are up and working.
Mon 16 Dec: 148.6 On track. Normal fluctuation.
Tue 17 Dec: 148.2 Under maintenance, although we did have afternoon tea with BiL and SiL, who are heading stateside on Friday for Christmas up near the Canadian border. Our 5 yr old Great niece is learning to ski.
Wed 18 Dec: 147.4
Thu 19 Dec: 147.8
Fri 20 Dec: 149.2 4 days of festive social events have an inevitable effect. It's so difficult to accurately log food provided by others. At least I have nothing now until family arrives on Christmas Eve.

I don’t know why I’ve lost 5 lbs already this month, but it might have to do with how my cycle fell last month and this month. I was also temporarily a little higher at the end of last month due to Thanksgiving/vacation.

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.
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. 😀
14 December 267.2 still delighted with this!
15 December 268.1. Not delighted with this but we’ll deserved since I had a Christmas meal out last night with friends and not enough water! Onwards and downwards to December goal.
16 December 267.9 Heading in the right direction again but I've got a tough week ahead. Away in a hotel with hubby until Thursday night. Which means eating out. Going to be very careful but worried because I won't have my scales or control of what I'm eating!
17 December no weigh in as staying away with hubby.
18 December no weigh in as staying away with hubby.
19 December 268.9. This was a very late in the day weigh in as we got home late. It’s also that TOM so overall I’m actually okay with this. 1lb on after 3 days of eating out and that time is a good result. I was dreading seeing a potential 6lbs go on and it didn’t so I’m good 😊
20 December 267.9 back to pre trip weight. Treadmill session done this morning and being much more careful with calories today.
21 December 266.4!!! Woohoo 🙌 delighted with this. Lowest I’ve been since 2013! 10 days to lose another 2.4lbs to make December goal 😳☺️😂3 -

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!!!!!!
Dec 14 = 158.4 lbs
Dec 15 = 158.4 lbs
Dec 16 = 157.4 lbs. Stayed under in calories, yesterday. No exercise
Dec 17 = 156.8 lbs Was pretty good, but not under in calories. no exercise.
Dec 18 = 156.8 lbs
Dec 19 = 156.8 lbs That was coming off of a bad food night -- Last night was at friend's bday party at Karaoke Bar & Grill.
Dec. 20 = 158.6 lbs Knew that was going to happen after last not sticking to my plan, yesterday.
Dec 21 = 159.7 lbs Thought it would be worse... had a junk food binge during the night. Back on it, today.

03 Dec: 67.2/148.2 🙂 TOM
04 Dec: 67.5/148.8 calories have been ok.
05 Dec: 66.7/147
06 Dec: 66.7/147 Cal’s ok, food TERRIBLE
07 Dec: 66.5/146.6 Cal’s ok food 😔
08 Dec: 66.3/146.1 Cal’s ok food 😔 went shopping for better food so hopefully I eat it!
09 Dec: 66.1/145.7 Cal’s ok, moved treadmill from HOT garage to air conditioned office. Haven’t been using it for weeks 🥵 no excuse now!
10 Dec: 66 /145.5 Cal’s ok food good
11 Dec: 65.9/145.3 Cal’s a bit over, had a frozen drink guesstimated what I thought was a generous calorie amount got home and looked up real Cal’s 😱😱
12 Dec: 65.9/145.3 Cal’s a bit over yesterday
13 Dec: 66/145.5 Cal’s a bit over yesterday. Last day of school for the kids before 7 weeks off. I love school holidays but I think it will make things harder, have a plan so hoping to prove myself wrong 😃
14 Dec: 65.7/ 144.8
15 Dec: 65.7/144.8
16 Dec: 66.1/145.7 🧐 it’s super hot here and I’ve puffed up again. Had to loosen my watch, belt and bra so I thought the number would actually be higher! Also went over in calories yesterday but not by much.
17 Dec: 66.1/145.7 still hot, 4 hours sleep last night. Someone else on here mentioned they gain around ovulation... I have never noticed before but looking back over last three months, I have gained about 1Kg/2.2lbs in the same three days leading up. If it does it next month I’ll be convinced it’s not a coincidence. Not sure if it’s a fluid thing or a bad food choice thing (that adds fluid) because I know that’s a problem around there for me. I dislike cooking and I always end up baking something like biscuits or cheesecake something high Cal’s. So interesting!! 😃
18 Dec:65.5
19 Dec:65.7/144.8 no excercise just spring cleaning (AKA impending visit from Mother in Law and Great Mother in Law 😏 not sure if that’s a thing) not too worried about numbers going up, still puffy.
20 Dec: 65.4/144.2
21 Dec: 65.1/143.5 want to be extra good the next few days so I can finish the year under 65 which is my pre having babies weight (9 years ago!)

We can do this! One step at a time, one pound at a time!
01 Dec: Did not weigh.

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: 171.8
13 Dec: 172.2
14 Dec: 172 Ugh. Need to try harder.
15 Dec: 170.4 Wait, whaaaaat? OK, so a full week of yo-yoing and suddenly it drops. I'll take it, but hope it sticks.
Down 1.4 since last week. Staying on track, logging every day. Woke up with a horrible sore throat, several students at school were sick last week, although I have a very strong immune system, it seems its got me this time around.
16 Dec: 170.4
17 Dec: 170.4
18 Dec: 170.8
19 Dec: Did not weigh. Had a little work get together today - chili and apple pie. Still not feeling very well, really dry, hacking cough. Several of our kids at school are sick and still arrive at school every day
20 Dec: 171 Yay, my break for Christmas holiday.
21 Dec: 171.2

No time for reading/comments today so much to do! 😂
🎄 Welcome to the minefield that is December 😂🤣😂😂🤣
Journey so far:Jan 2015: I joined MFP, and gradually reducedAug: -8.31 (a lot of this was holiday weight gained in July)
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
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: 15002 Dec: 150Mo 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.
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
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! 😂
We 11/12: 149.2 And there it is! I'm wearing my celebrations 🎉 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. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Fri 13 Dec: 148.8 One or two social events.
Sat 14 Dec: 148.6 Normal fluctuations 😂 Next week is relatively clear of social events, so there will be less temptation to stray.
Sun 15 Dec: 147.2 Stayed on track yesterday. Spent most of the day doing prep on sleeping arrangements for family visiting over Christmas. Our outdoor lights are up and working.
Mon 16 Dec: 148.6 On track. Normal fluctuation.
Tue 17 Dec: 148.2 Under maintenance, although we did have afternoon tea with BiL and SiL, who are heading stateside on Friday for Christmas up near the Canadian border. Our 5 yr old Great niece is learning to ski.
Wed 18 Dec: 147.4
Thu 19 Dec: 147.8
Fri 20 Dec: 149.2 4 days of festive social events have an inevitable effect. It's so difficult to accurately log food provided by others. At least I have nothing now until family arrives on Christmas Eve.
Sat 21 Dec: 149.4
Sun 22 Dec: 149.2 holding steady.
