Started 9th Nov.ย 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) -ย 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.ย Also trying in drink more water.ย
10 Dec: 14st 7.9 (-0.8lb /ย -4.2lb). Really happy.ย Have now lost just over a stone since starting my weight loss about a month ago!ย 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.ย 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).ย 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 andย stayed there and never finished what I had planned to eat.ย Will have to figure out how to fit it into today's budget!ย 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.ย 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!ย (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!
19 Dec: 14st 2.9 (-0.5lb / -9.2lb)

27 Dec:14st 9.2 (+6.3 / -2.9lb) oh dear, I have been so bad, so very very bad.ย Back on it now to see if I can drop just over a lb in the next few days to make my goal for the month! ๐ฃ๐คฆ
28 Dec: 14st 8.0 (-1.2lb / -4.1lb) December goal ๐ Again ๐Hopefully I can keep it off this time (despite the trifle calling so loudly from the fridge!)
29 Dec: 14st 6.9 (-1.1lb / -5.2lb) Yay! I know this is mainly water, but glad the extra lbs are coming off as easily as they went back on!
30 Dec: 14st 6.2 (-0.7lb / -5.9lb)
31 Dec: 14st 4.4 (-1.8lb / -7.7lb) Really pleased with the final loss.ย Bit gutted with my 6lb gain over the week of Xmas - I really should have checked the scales each day, if I had realised sooner, I may have made better choices sooner.
Have really found this motivating!ย Wishing you all a very happy New Year x2 -

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 ๐ hopefully todayโs efforts change the direction.
03 Dec: 67.2/148.2 ๐ TOM
04 Dec: 67.5/148.8 calories have been ok.
05 Dec: 66.7/147
06 Dec: 66.7/147 Calโs ok, food TERRIBLE
07 Dec: 66.5/146.6 Calโs ok food ๐
08 Dec: 66.3/146.1 Calโs ok food ๐ went shopping for better food so hopefully I eat it!
09 Dec: 66.1/145.7 Calโs ok, moved treadmill from HOT garage to air conditioned office. Havenโt been using it for weeks ๐ฅต no excuse now!
10 Dec: 66 /145.5 Calโs ok food good
11 Dec: 65.9/145.3 Calโs a bit over, had a frozen drink guesstimated what I thought was a generous calorie amount got home and looked up real Calโs ๐ฑ๐ฑ
12 Dec: 65.9/145.3 Calโs a bit over yesterday
13 Dec: 66/145.5 Calโs 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 ๐
14 Dec: 65.7/ 144.8
15 Dec: 65.7/144.8
16 Dec: 66.1/145.7 ๐ง itโs super hot here and Iโve 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 Iโll be convinced itโs not a coincidence. Not sure if itโs a fluid thing or a bad food choice thing (that adds fluid) because I know thatโs a problem around there for me. I dislike cooking and I always end up baking something like biscuits or cheesecake something high Calโs. So interesting!! ๐
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 ๐ not sure if thatโs 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!)

23 Dec: 65.1
24 Dec: 65/143.3

26 Dec: 66/145.5 so much sugar ๐ณ
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 ๐ฑ the whole town seems to have it so Iโm not taking it personally
29 Dec: 65/143.3 nothing like vomiting for 12hrs to shrivel you up
30 Dec:
31 Dec: 65/143.3 no goal still happy and excited for the new year ๐๐ฅณHAPPY NEW YEAR everyone, I hope 2020 is good to all of us and filled with peace, kindness and laughs and love ๐ซ3 -

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!!!!!!
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.
Dec 22 = 159 lbs Another smaller binge last night...
Dec 23 = 159 lbs
Dec 24 = 157.2 lbs
Dec 25 = 155.6 lbs
Dec 26 = 156.2 lbs
Dec 27 = 155 lbs
Dec 28 = 155.6 lbs
Dec 29 = 155.6 lbs
Dec 30 = 155.6 lbs
Dec 31 = 155.6 lbs
Although I didnโt lose, I will still consider December to be a victory because it was a hard month with the holidays & I managed not to gain.

20 Dec: 146.2 had a lot of salt yesterday
21 Dec: 144.6 Iโm eating about 1700 cal/day, which equals a loss of about a lb/week for me. I donโt know why Iโve 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 Sonโs birthday yesterdayโhad 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!). Iโm 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 ๐
27 Dec: 146.6 (Ovulation water gain) I also had a lot of salt yesterday. Iโm still a few lbs under for the month, so Iโm happy.
28 Dec: 146.6
29 Dec: 145.4โ(end of ovulation weight)
30 Dec: 145.2 Only one more day! But going out for dinner tonight, so should expect an increase tomorrow, at least from salt

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! ๐
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! ๐๐๐
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! Didnโt expect to lose again today so doubly delighted with this. MFP just works! 3.2lbs to make December goal. ๐
14 December 267.2 still delighted with this!
15 December 268.1. Not delighted with this but weโll 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. Itโs also that TOM so overall Iโm 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 didnโt so Iโm good ๐
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 ๐ delighted with this. Lowest Iโve been since 2013! 10 days to lose another 2.4lbs to make December goal ๐ณโบ๏ธ๐
22 December 266.6 Gah! Not happy with this but keeping on keeping on! Iโm determined to do my best to reach my December goal, having missed November by a smidgen!
23 December 265.5! Delighted with this! Thereโs hope for goal this month โบ๏ธ
24 December 265.5, well at least it wasnโt a gain! Hereโs to sticking with it tomorrow. Good luck everyone ๐
25 December 266.1 hmm small increase but not the end of the world.
26 December 268.3 not drinking enough water!
27 December 269.3 definitely down to the water, Iโve logged and I know I havenโt over eaten by 7000 calories. Need to drink more water ๐ฆ
28 December 268.3 going in the right direction again but still not drinking enough due to being out and busy!
29 December 267.7 well safe to say Iโm not going to make goal this month but Iโm glad Iโm still counting a reasonable loss. Half a stone is a result especially over Christmas. Sorry I played catch up today! Itโs been manic here! Hope everyone else is doing okay ๐
30 December 266.8 heading in the right direction again so Iโm just going to keep going. Not going to lose 2.8lbs tomorrow but thatโs okay. Iโm not giving up!
31 December 264.4 ๐ a mammoth loss on the last day but not quite enough to hit my goal. However I am still totally delighted with this! 10.2lbs lost this month makes me very happy. Iโve had the things Iโve wanted in moderation so this is a win for me. First time ever coming out of Christmas weighing less than I went in at. Over the moon. ๐3 -
Female; Age 52; 5'2"; San Diego, CA
Starting weight:- 173 pounds
Goal weight this month:- 169
Target goal weight:- 140
Dec 2019:- SW: 173 (-3.6 lbs)
Jan 2020:- SW:
We can do this! One step at a time, one week 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: 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!

31 Dec: 169.4
3.6 lbs lost this month. A little disappointed but it is the festive month, so all good. Making a much more concerted effort in Jan to make up for it.
Thanks for the accountability, not going to give up. Here's to 2020.

๐ Welcome to the minefield that is December ๐๐คฃ๐๐๐คฃ
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. Iโm now focusing on increasing strength workouts
Sept: -4.71
Oct: -4.2
Nov: -2.2 (Strength workouts temporarily slowing progress)
Dec: + 1.4 (Christmas indulgences)
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! ๐
We 11/12: 149.2 And there it is! I'm wearing my celebrations ๐ 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. ๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป
Fri 13 Dec: 148.8 One or two social events.
Sat 14 Dec: 148.6 Normal fluctuations ๐ 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.
Sun 29 Dec: 151.4 Not too bad.
Mon 30 Dec: 151.2 Getting there
Tues 31 Dec: 151.4... or not ๐
