Sept 16: 191.0 Thrilled with a new low!
Sept 23: 193.0 Up & Down all week. It does not look like I’ll make goal, especially with 2 days of travel this week. Ugg.

Oct 14: 190.0 Travel repercussions!
Oct 21: 189.2 I’ve got to work harder.
Oct 28: 187.8 Traveling Wednesday. Scale will likely go up from restaurant food, bloat and 8 hour drive sitting, sitting, sitting. Happy with this past week though!

Nov 11: 185.8 A bit of a setback this week, but I pulled through it.
Nov 18: 185.8 Broke even. I was back up, then down again. Grateful to have found my way home. Now for progress!
Nov 25: 183.6 Thrilled to see this. Doing the happy dance. The next two days are travel & restaurants (and lots of car sitting) and on the 30th is our family Thanksgiving Feast so I know I can’t make November goal (will have to revise) but I am going to try hard to have SOME control & use some willpower here & there!
Nov 30: 182.4 Thanksgiving Feast today so I expect a gain, but it will be gone within a few days!

Dec 09: 188.2 OMGosh! I’ve got some work to do!
Dec 16: 186.3 Better but travel bit me in the butt. More travel today. I gotta get a grip on this restaurant stuff while out of town!
Dec 23: 190.2 What a wonderful week for birthday (family members) and Christmas celebrations. What a horrid week on the scale! Jedi has posted the new challenge beginning in January. I hope to see you all there!
Dec 30: 190.4 I ballooned up to 194 this week so I’m actually going back down. I hope to report back into the 180’s tomorrow. I am still showing a loss from my starting weight for the challenge so I guess I will have to be happy with that (considering all the holidays since we started). I will definitely do better next round!
Dec 31: 191.2 December was tougher than usual. January will be my redeeming grace! I’ll see you all in the next round!

Dec Goal: 178.2

Total Accumulated Weight Loss for Challenge : 3.0 lb Loss


Total Challenge Weight loss GOAL: 16.0 lbs.

Note: I was sick for two weeks around the holidays. I was also very depressed, as it was the first Christmas without my mom. That has been extremely difficult. I gained 5 lbs over this time (holiday foods, lack of exercise and depression). At first the weight gained made me feel worse... but I now realise it's completely normal under the circumstances and I'm ok with it. I'm slowly getting back on track now.

😊 I hope all you beautiful people had wonderful holidays and have a great start in the new year. 😊
