    Starting weight: 163.4 lb
    Start weight this month: 147.8
    Goal weight this month: 140
    Target goal weight: 128

    August: lost 1.2 lb
    September: lost 4.2 lb
    October: lost 3.7 lb
    November: lost 3.9 lb
    December: lost 4.3 lb (but ended high due to New Year’s)

    (I use Happy Scale, so the losses above are determined by moving average. I will post my actual daily weight below.)

    01 Jan: 147.8 (my lowest in Dec was 144.6) Definitely indulged for a couple of days at the beach for New Year’s with family. I expect this to go down quickly after a few days back to my normal routine....hopefully, anyways!
    02 Jan: 148.8 I ate within my deficit calories yesterday, so this increase is either from DOMS (I’m still extremely sore from a hard workout on Tuesday), or it’s PMS a lil early? Oh well, patience!
    03 Jan: 148
    04 Jan: 146.8
    05 Jan: 145.8
    06 Jan: 146.8 —had buttered popcorn at the movies yesterday, ie, sodium-induced water weight!
    07 Jan: 146.8 —staying at a calorie deficit, but more salt plus PMS still, so I’m not letting go of the water! Patience...
    08 Jan: 147.4 Seriously! Admittedly, more salt again.
    09 Jan: 147 TOM today, finally!! Hopefully I can lose some of this now. I’ve been within my calorie goal, so something’s gotta give soon! (It usually takes 5 more days after TOM starts-boo)
    10 Jan: 146.4

    Starting weight: 170.8
    Starting weight this month: 140.2
    Goal weight this month: 134
    Target goal weight: I’m not sure yet, shooting for 130 first.

    August: lost 5.5 pounds
    September: lost 5 pounds
    October: lost 10 pounds
    November: lost 5 pounds
    December: lost 5.6 pounds

    This month will be way different then usual. Doing the Daniel Fast starting Jan 5th for 21 days, for spiritual reasons. So my workouts will probably suffer a little and I will probably lose weight fast in those 21 days.

    Jan 01: 140.2
    Jan 02: 139.8
    Jan 03: 139.8
    Jan 04: 138.4
    Jan 05: 137.8
    Jan 06: 137.6
    Jan 07: 137.4
    Jan 08: 136.0
    Jan 09: 135.6
    Jan 10: 133.4 🤯 I know this is just a lot of water weight and will even out over the next couple weeks, so I’m not going to change my goal.

    Journey so far:
    Jan 2015: I joined MFP at 227 lbs and gradually reduced
    Oct 2016: finally hit my target of 155
    Dec 2018: Had gradually wavered up again to 170s
    Jan 2019: still wavering round 170
    July 2019: 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)
    Dec: + 4.4 (Christmas indulgences)

    OSW: 227 (Mar 2014)
    CSW: 170.1 (1 Aug 2019)
    LW: 147.8 (Nov 2019)
    JAN SW: 151.4
    GW: Under 150

    Wed 01 Jan: 151.4
    Thu 02 Jan: 151.6 Not the best start. We got Series 8 of GoTs for Christmas and DH opened a box of liquorice allsorts as we were watching the first episode last night. I was under goal, but the sugar has given me a touch of bloat this morning.
    Fri 03 Jan: 151.8
    Sat 04 Jan: 151.4 Phew! Glad it’s started to shift again.
    Sun 05 Jan: 151.2
    Mon 06 Jan: 151.2
    Tue 07 Jan: 151.1
    Wed 08 Jan: 150.9
    Thu 09 Jan: 150.2 😍 not really expecting this drop as we were entertaining yesterday, and I did indulge somewhat.
    Fri 10 Jan: 150.2 😄 Happy that it’s sticking! 😂

    I did this for a month in August and then lost motivation when I hit a plateau and gained everything back and more since November. I'm struggling beyond belief to lost my last pregnancy weight from 2 years ago. I was 46 so I definitely see the difference in the ability to lose weight between this pregnancy and my earlier one in my 30's. I have about 25 lbs to go to pre-pregnancy weight.

    January 2020 starting weight: 140.6
    December 2019 low was 134.7
    Goal weight this month January 2020: 132.5 lbs I know this is a really high goal, but I think some of this is water weight and will come off quickly. 😁

    Jan 6: 140.6 🥵 I cannot believe I gained 6 pounds in less than 3 weeks. Hopefully much is water weight that I will shed quickly, though I did eat A LOT!
    Jan 7: 139.4 😉 heading the right direction
    Jan 8: 138.7 🙂 let's keep going!
    Jan 9: 138.3 😀 I am sure this is mostly water and food in my system, but I will take it!
    Jan 10 138.6 🤫 Did not feel well and slept very poorly. Going out to dinner tonight, will eat around maintenance today, so expecting a little more jump in weight tomorrow.

    I'm trying this again. I did it for several months, then got lazy. With the laziness came weight gain, so I'm back where I started.

    CW - 216.4
    January GW - 210
    Ultimate GW - 150

    I need friends! Feel free to add me!


    Jan 2020:- SW: 216.4



    Jan 1: 216.4 - Day one hasn't gone quite to plan, but I've really only had a big lunch that probably accounted for a day's worth of eating 😖, and I don't plan on eating anything else (still full). I have tomorrow logged and ready, and will use the treadmill tomorrow as well. Here I go!

    Jan 2: 215.4 (- 1.0) - Wahoo! Yesterday didn't hurt me too bad!

    Jan 3: 215.0 (-0.4, -1.4lb total) - A loss is a loss no matter how small. Today is going to be hard for me, I'm home all day which means I have free reign and can do what I want (vs where I pack my breakfast and lunch / snack for work and don't have to worry about anything till dinner). Time to find the willpower and just stick to what I'd eat at work.

    Jan 4: 213.6 (-1.4, -2.8lb total) - Wasn't really expecting that! Must be the last is the water weight from TOM ending. I'll take it though!

    Jan 5: 213.0 (-0.6, -3.4lbs total) - Still going down. Wasn't expecting it. We had sandwiches (capriottis) for dinner and I ate a whole medium sandwich. Luckily it made me so full that I didn't eat anything after 645 last night. I've found that if I eat a large lunch, and then a smaller dinner, I lose better that way. So as long as my dinner isn't too heavy and I don't snack afterwards (I may have a piece or 2 of the left over Christmas chocolate (mmm lindor truffles and godiva)) I'm usually okay the next morning. I guess I'm IF-ing in a sense cause I normally don't eat anything until I take my lunch at work (1pm ish). But it's working so far so I'm gonna stick with it! I stopped drinking coffee like 3 weeks ago, but I'm tempted to start drinking it again using sugar free creamer, or even a scoop or so of vanilla protein powder. I havent made up my mind on that one yet though.

    Jan 6: 213.6 (+0.6, -2.8lb total) - Too much snacking last night. Will be better today! My plan is to start using the treadmill today, I'm going to make myself do it.

    Jan 7: 215.0 (+1.4, -1.4lb total) - Now here, I don't know what happened. I was within my calories, I drank all my water and I used the treadmill. Oh well. Gotta keep going.

    Jan 8: 214.4 (-0.6, -2.0lbs total) - Down a little today so that's better. Stayed within my calories goal today too!

    Jan 9: 214.0 (-0.4, 2.4lbs total) finally moving back down! Tonight will be treadmill night. Im thinking of possibly starting the C25K program, but I don't know how that will go on a treadmil and I don't have the confidence to go running outside. So we will see. If not I'll just stick with walking and increase my pace.

    Jan 10: 214.0 ( no change) - This is a good thing considering we ate out last night. I'm hoping for a drop tomorrow though. We will see how this weekend goes. My in laws anniversary is this weekend, so I know we will be eating out, I just don't know where. Just gotta keep going!
