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 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 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.

Starting weight: 163.4 lbs
Start weight this month: 149.6
Goal weight this month: 145-149.6 (even just maintaining is a lofty goal in Dec!)
Target goal weight: 135-ish
Aug lost 1.2 lbs
Sept lost 4.2 lbs
Oct lost 3.7 lbs
Nov lost 3.9 lbs
(I use Happy Scale, so monthly loss above is by moving avg, but I’m going to enter my actual daily weight below.)
01 Dec: 149.6 lbs
02 Dec: 149.8
03 Dec: 149.2
04 Dec: 149.8

17 Dec: 146.8
18 Dec: 147.4
19 Dec: 145.6 end of PMS weight
20 Dec: 146.2 had a lot of salt yesterday
21 Dec: 144.6 I’m eating about 1700 cal/day, which equals a loss of about a lb/week for me. 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.
22 Dec: 146.6 Christmas dinner party last night!
23 Dec: 148.0 Son’s birthday yesterday—had buttered popcorn at the movies, and Mexican restaurant for dinner. I only went about 300 over maintenance, but had lots of salt! And food weight! I will eat within my goal today, with lower salt, and should drop some of this by Tuesday (just in time for Christmas Eve and Christmas!). I’m pretty happy with my progress so far, anyway.
24 Dec: 147.8
25 Dec: 148.4 Yep, holiday indulgences! Oh well, a few days of this, then back to it!
26 Dec: 146.2 Not bad, since I definitely went over maintenance yesterday, but really, only by about 600 calories. I guess I lost some of the water gain and food mass 😄

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
20 Dec: 140.5
21 Dec: 139.9
22 Dec: No weigh in. totally spaced it
23 Dec: 144.5 to may restaurant meals and way to much alcohol at parties. This month has been a killer for me.

Starting weight: 79.9Kg
Current weight: 67.6/149
Goal weight: 55 -60/ 121- 132
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!)
22 Dec: 65.4/144.2
23 Dec: 65.1
24 Dec: 65/143.3
25 Dec:
26 Dec: 66/145.5 so much sugar 😳
27 Dec: 66/145.5 might be hard to get weight down by the end of Dec TOM is due right at end of month.

So I went off track and regained all lost weight so I am starting again and this time I mean business!
Starting weight: 63.4 kg
Current weight: 63.4
Goal weight: 55kg by May 2020 (ultimate goal weight 53/55 but with fat percentage of around 22%)
December goal: 62kg - modified to 61kg - modifying further to a cautious 60.5kg - modifying again to 59.9! - reached 59.7! Yay! Not sure if I should set 59.5 as a goal, with all the holiday parties happening. We will see. I am happy as of now.
01 Dec: 63
02 Dec: 63.2
03 Dec: 63.4
04 Dec: 63.4
05 Dec: 63.4
06 Dec: 63.5
07 Dec: 62.7 (cardio)
08 Dec: 62 (cardio) (yay! Reached dec goal! New goal 61 kg for December)
09 Dec: 61.8 (cardio)
10 Dec: 61.8 (cardio)
11 Dec: 61.6 (cardio and a bit of abs)
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.)
17 Dec: 60.9 (yay! Met my new December goal! Cardio and abs yesterday and calorie deficit)
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!)
22 Dec: 60.1 (yay! Good food, cardio and abs. Limited sleep though)
23 Dec: 60.0 (yay! Delighted with this considering I had cake with lunch and limited cardio due to a foot injury)
24 Dec: 60.0 (I will take this. Controlling myself around chocolate and cakes as much as I can but not very successful frankly!)
25 Dec: 59.7 (yay! Reached newest dec goal! Ate loads of chocolate but offset by holding off on all other carbs and thus staying within calorie limit. We are off on a trip from today till Monday, so I don’t know if I can weigh in unless the hotel provides a weighing scale. We will see the weight once I return on 30th, in case I don’t have a scale.)
26 Dec: 60.1 (in hotel scale. Well deserved raise. Last night party was way too heavy, I have gone so overboard and did not even count. Well it is ok for a day in the holidays! Got to live a little!)
27 Dec: 60.7 (in a moody little hotel scale. I ate above my calorie limit but certainly within maintenance so maybe this isn’t the most reliable number out there. Anyways I will stay within calorie budget today for sure and check the trend tomorrow.)

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.
Mon 23 Dec: 149.6 Visiting DED and grands yesterday. Granddaughter just flew in from Oxford on Friday. Her 25th birthday was on the 14th, so we celebrated.
Tue 24 Dec: 149.8 Family celebrations begin today.
Wed 25 Dec: DNW
Thu 26 Dec: 149.6: I'm in shock! Fully expected to be up this morning. I tracked and was way over calories. I didn't go mad, but I ate lots of samples of treats/snacks which family had prepared/donated to the festive table, so expected high sodium would retain liquid. I did drink almost a litre of water before bedtime, so maybe that helped. Expecting tomorrow will show a rise, but very pleased that I have stayed more or less stable for the first Christmas in quite a few decades. Family still here today, but we have a walk planned. However, I reckon I can remove any overage before 31st.Fri 27 Dec: 151.6 After 4 days of entertaining family, this is not unexpected. Despite not going completely over the top, it has been a carbs/sodium overloaded 4 days, so buckling down for the next few days should make a dent un the overage.

01 Dec: 14st 12.8 (+0.7lb) - Impact of Chinese takeaway on Friday and cinema popcorn yesterday...
02 Dec: 14st 11.7 (-1.1lb / -0.4lb) - mainly water loss, but I'm happy
03 Dec: 14st 11.5 (-0.2lb / -0.6lb)
04 Dec: 14st 9.9 (-1.6lb / -2.2lb) - Been on track this week, but surprise at this movement.
05 Dec: 14st 10.1 (+0.2lb / -2.0lb)
06 Dec: 14st 9.5 (-0.6lb / -2.6lb) - Still on track with food, but really need to do some exercise!
07 Dec: 14st 9.2 (-0.3lb / -2.9lb) - Food under goal and had active day yesterday 12.8k steps.
08 Dec: 14st 9.1 (-0.1lb / -3.0lb)
09 Dec: 14st 8.7 (-0.4lb / -3.4lb) still keeping to goal calories. Also trying in drink more water.
10 Dec: 14st 7.9 (-0.8lb / -4.2lb). Really happy. Have now lost just over a stone since starting my weight loss about a month ago! Have now also hit my goal for December - I will keep going though as I know there may be a bit of excessive eating later in the month that needs negating!
11 Dec: 14st 7.5 (-0.4lb / -4.6lb)
12 Dec: 14st 6.7 (-0.8lb / -5.4lb) TOTM started yesterday, and am feeling so hungry. My goal is set to 1.5lb a week in MFP, but think I need to raise my calories allowed to get through TOTM without a huge binge.
13 Dec: 14st 7.7 (+1.0lb / -4.4lb). Only ate just over 900 cal yesterday - had planned a special pudding to have once kids had gone to bed, but started having horrendous period cramps, so just crawled in bed and stayed there and never finished what I had planned to eat. Will have to figure out how to fit it into today's budget! Assuming the fluctuations are TOTM relates so trying not the get frustrated with an increase in the scales!
14 Dec: 14st 5.9 (-1.8lb / -6.2lb)
15 Dec: 14st 6.2 (+0.3lb / -5.9lb) Went to an all you can eat pan Asian restaurant yesterday. I was very reserved and didn't stuff myself - only real naughtiness was the bottle of prosecco... needless to say, went over my calorie goal (but I believe less than maintenance).
16 Dec: 14st 4.8 (-1.4lb / -7.3lb)
17 Dec: 14st 4.4 (-0.4lb / -7.7lb) Have had a couple of weird days where I have eaten very little until evening dinner (where I then eat majority of calorie allowance) which seems to be paying off on the scales.
18 Dec: 14st 3.4 (-1.0lb / -8.7lb) woohoo! (But not sure where that came from, last few days losses more than I was expecting, but not complaining as I am sure scales will go up soon as the Christmas festivities get started!

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
20 Dec: 140.5
21 Dec: 139.9
22 Dec: No weigh in. totally spaced it
23 Dec: 144.5 to may restaurant meals and way to much alcohol at parties. This month has been a killer for me.
24 Dec: Tons of family and food - no weigh in
25 Dec: Christmas Day and never weighed
26 Dec: 144.7 well that wasn't pleasant, but very expected.

19 Dec: 145.6 end of PMS weight
20 Dec: 146.2 had a lot of salt yesterday
21 Dec: 144.6 I’m eating about 1700 cal/day, which equals a loss of about a lb/week for me. 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.
22 Dec: 146.6 Christmas dinner party last night!
23 Dec: 148.0 Son’s birthday yesterday—had buttered popcorn at the movies, and Mexican restaurant for dinner. I only went about 300 over maintenance, but had lots of salt! And food weight! I will eat within my goal today, with lower salt, and should drop some of this by Tuesday (just in time for Christmas Eve and Christmas!). I’m pretty happy with my progress so far, anyway.
24 Dec: 147.8
25 Dec: 148.4 Yep, holiday indulgences! Oh well, a few days of this, then back to it!
26 Dec: 146.2 Not bad, since I definitely went over maintenance yesterday, but really, only by about 600 calories. I guess I lost some of the water gain and food mass 😄
27 Dec: 146.6 (Ovulation water gain) I also had a lot of salt yesterday. I’m still a few lbs under for the month, so I’m happy.

So I went off track and regained all lost weight so I am starting again and this time I mean business!
Starting weight: 63.4 kg
Current weight: 63.4
Goal weight: 55kg by May 2020 (ultimate goal weight 53/55 but with fat percentage of around 22%)
December goal: 62kg - modified to 61kg - modifying further to a cautious 60.5kg - modifying again to 59.9! - reached 59.7! Yay! Not sure if I should set 59.5 as a goal, with all the holiday parties happening. We will see. I am happy as of now.

11 Dec: 61.6 (cardio and a bit of abs)
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.)
17 Dec: 60.9 (yay! Met my new December goal! Cardio and abs yesterday and calorie deficit)
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!)
22 Dec: 60.1 (yay! Good food, cardio and abs. Limited sleep though)
23 Dec: 60.0 (yay! Delighted with this considering I had cake with lunch and limited cardio due to a foot injury)
24 Dec: 60.0 (I will take this. Controlling myself around chocolate and cakes as much as I can but not very successful frankly!)
25 Dec: 59.7 (yay! Reached newest dec goal! Ate loads of chocolate but offset by holding off on all other carbs and thus staying within calorie limit. We are off on a trip from today till Monday, so I don’t know if I can weigh in unless the hotel provides a weighing scale. We will see the weight once I return on 30th, in case I don’t have a scale.)
26 Dec: 60.1 (in hotel scale. Well deserved raise. Last night party was way too heavy, I have gone so overboard and did not even count. Well it is ok for a day in the holidays! Got to live a little!)
27 Dec: 60.7 (in a moody little hotel scale. I ate above my calorie limit but certainly within maintenance so maybe this isn’t the most reliable number out there. Anyways I will stay within calorie budget today for sure and check the trend tomorrow.)
28 Dec: 60.4 (pretty sure now that the hotel scale is not to be trusted! We will know the right number on Monday)

🎄 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.
Mon 23 Dec: 149.6 Visiting DED and grands yesterday. Granddaughter just flew in from Oxford on Friday. Her 25th birthday was on the 14th, so we celebrated.
Tue 24 Dec: 149.8 Family celebrations begin today.
Wed 25 Dec: DNW
Thu 26 Dec: 149.6: I'm in shock! Fully expected to be up this morning. I tracked and was way over calories. I didn't go mad, but I ate lots of samples of treats/snacks which family had prepared/donated to the festive table, so expected high sodium would retain liquid. I did drink almost a litre of water before bedtime, so maybe that helped. Expecting tomorrow will show a rise, but very pleased that I have stayed more or less stable for the first Christmas in quite a few decades. Family still here today, but we have a walk planned. However, I reckon I can remove any overage before 31st.
Fri 27 Dec: 151.6 After 4 days of entertaining family, this is not unexpected. Despite not going completely over the top, it has been a carbs/sodium overloaded 4 days, so buckling down for the next few days should make a dent un the overage.
Sat 28 Dec: 152.1 Just over 4lbs up, but I think that's it. I still have 4 days left to discard that festive overage before the end of the month.

Started 9th Nov. Nov lost: 10.4lb
01 Dec: 14st 12.8 (+0.7lb) - Impact of Chinese takeaway on Friday and cinema popcorn yesterday...
02 Dec: 14st 11.7 (-1.1lb / -0.4lb) - mainly water loss, but I'm happy
03 Dec: 14st 11.5 (-0.2lb / -0.6lb)
04 Dec: 14st 9.9 (-1.6lb / -2.2lb) - Been on track this week, but surprise at this movement.
05 Dec: 14st 10.1 (+0.2lb / -2.0lb)
06 Dec: 14st 9.5 (-0.6lb / -2.6lb) - Still on track with food, but really need to do some exercise!
07 Dec: 14st 9.2 (-0.3lb / -2.9lb) - Food under goal and had active day yesterday 12.8k steps.
08 Dec: 14st 9.1 (-0.1lb / -3.0lb)
09 Dec: 14st 8.7 (-0.4lb / -3.4lb) still keeping to goal calories. Also trying in drink more water.
10 Dec: 14st 7.9 (-0.8lb / -4.2lb). Really happy. Have now lost just over a stone since starting my weight loss about a month ago! Have now also hit my goal for December - I will keep going though as I know there may be a bit of excessive eating later in the month that needs negating!
11 Dec: 14st 7.5 (-0.4lb / -4.6lb)
12 Dec: 14st 6.7 (-0.8lb / -5.4lb) TOTM started yesterday, and am feeling so hungry. My goal is set to 1.5lb a week in MFP, but think I need to raise my calories allowed to get through TOTM without a huge binge.
13 Dec: 14st 7.7 (+1.0lb / -4.4lb). Only ate just over 900 cal yesterday - had planned a special pudding to have once kids had gone to bed, but started having horrendous period cramps, so just crawled in bed and stayed there and never finished what I had planned to eat. Will have to figure out how to fit it into today's budget! Assuming the fluctuations are TOTM relates so trying not the get frustrated with an increase in the scales!
14 Dec: 14st 5.9 (-1.8lb / -6.2lb)
15 Dec: 14st 6.2 (+0.3lb / -5.9lb) Went to an all you can eat pan Asian restaurant yesterday. I was very reserved and didn't stuff myself - only real naughtiness was the bottle of prosecco... needless to say, went over my calorie goal (but I believe less than maintenance).
16 Dec: 14st 4.8 (-1.4lb / -7.3lb)
17 Dec: 14st 4.4 (-0.4lb / -7.7lb) Have had a couple of weird days where I have eaten very little until evening dinner (where I then eat majority of calorie allowance) which seems to be paying off on the scales.
18 Dec: 14st 3.4 (-1.0lb / -8.7lb) woohoo! (But not sure where that came from, last few days losses more than I was expecting, but not complaining as I am sure scales will go up soon as the Christmas festivities get started!

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
22 Dec: 169.6 Very surprised to see this number! And the same thing happened last week.
Down 0.8 which I am very happy with considering the week.
I'm glad for the accountability, I am certainly paying more attention to what I'm eating this month and attempting to be much healthier. This week should be pretty good. It's just DH and I for Christmas. 1 son is military and on an 8 day shift off the coast and the other still in Europe. We will have Christmas dinner several days late but always thankful we can have them home at some point during the holidays.
23 Dec: 169.0
24 Dec: Did not weigh
25 Dec: Santa arrives! 168.2 Merry Christmas everyone!
26 Dec: 168.2
27 Dec: 168 One son comes home! Safe and sound
28 Dec: Did not weigh. Other son comes home later tonight. Been weighing almost every day, keeping daily track of food, but just not checking in here. Hope everyone's holiday was a good one!

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!)
22 Dec: 65.4/144.2
23 Dec: 65.1
24 Dec: 65/143.3
25 Dec:
26 Dec: 66/145.5 so much sugar 😳
27 Dec: 66/145.5 might be hard to get weight down by the end of Dec TOM is due right at end of month.
28 Dec: GASTRO 😱 the whole town seems to have it so I’m not taking it personally
29 Dec: 65/143.3 nothing like vomiting for 12hrs to shrivel you up
