    Hello @deepwoodslady, I enjoy your comments. I would have gained a bit if I had been making Christmas candy too. Just love fudge and peanut clusters and rocky road bars. I have to give them all away or put them all in the freezer to stay out of. Good luck to you and heres to a healthy new year.

    @Beautyofdreams Thanks for your kind comments. I am so proud of the phenomenal work you put in and the fantastic results you've achieved in the past few months. Congratulations and Happy New Year to you. I wish you much continued success!!!

    Thank you @mtaratoot for keeping us accountable during the snowy weather.

    I have a little secret to share. It's actually YOU who is doing the work. You are keeping YOURSELF accountable. Nobody else can do it, and guess what? You ca do it! You know you can, and if you need a reminder, just look over your shoulder at where you've come the last nine months.

    This is just a fun little way we can help support each other in our journeys. Don't ever skip giving yourself credit for the things you've achieved, and keep looking on down that road to where you want to be in the next nine months.

    We got this! Let's go!

    I see that @sassbag has posted her monthly challenge. There were a few months I didn't see them. Had I seen @sassbag had posted one, I wouldn't have posted this one.

    Since I think it's kind of silly to have TWO challenges that are exactly the same, I'd like to encourage you to re-post on the challenge @sassbag posted. I am going to see if the MFP staff can roll this discussion into that one and then delete it.

    Mea culpa.

    I hadn't seen monthly challenges for a couple months, so I posted one. I didn't see this one until after I had posted a January challenge. I asked the folks who've posted there to come on over here. It's silly to have two challenges that are EXACTLY the same. Not trying to step on toes; just didn't see this had been posted.

    I'm glad to be back. Happy New Year, and much success to all!

    These challenges really help me to stay motivated. I was actually down to 171 before Thanksgiving, but then came the holidays and here I am. My original starting weight at the end of July was 198.2, so at least I didn't gain it all back before pulling myself together.

    Happy New Year and here's to better eating!!

    We got the request and these two challenges have been merged, so all the answers from both should now be present here. If anyone's responses are missing I apologize, please repost!

    Have a great year all!

    Thanks for organizing- had a great challenge in December and love reading everyone’s challenges & successes!

    Original MFP weight: 211 lb
    January Start Weight: 194.6 (Jan 1/21)
    I hope this is an anomaly as all week I’ve been weighting about 190, may adjust based on weekly weigh in on the 4th
    January Goal Weight: ? Will adjust based on weekly weigh in on the 4th
    After 18months mat leave I head back to work this month- rotating day & night shifts, which will definitely have an impact on my weight loss journey
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 180 for now, then I’ll adjust again - small goals work better for me

    Happy New Year everyone. It's time to get to work. My goal for 2021 is to lose wt. every month, 1 pound 5, 6 whatever, as long as the needle continues to drop. I finally stopped yoyoing the last quarter of 2020 and the key was low carb eating. I broke my chip addiction and cheat snacks and finally held myself accountable. Logging everything daily is also very important and I will continue to do so. Have fun and lets drop some pounds.

    January Goal Weight:257.0

    I have been trying to lose weight pretty much my whole life. I hate how I look. Nothing I've tried including being under the care of a doctor and personal trainer and still couldn't lose any weight.

    My ultimate goal is 125 lbs because that's the last time I didn't completely hate my looks but I set 2 goals so it's a little less depressing when I don't get to that weight:
    Goal #1: 200 lbs
    Goal #2: 125 lbs

    January Starting Weight: 274.3 lbs
    January Goal Weight: 260 lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 125-200 lbs

    January 1st: 274.3 lbs

    I am in...hopefully, will find my way back.

    It’s a real struggle, over the last 10 years, I have come down 100#. By 2013 when I first joined MFP, I had gotten down to 240#.
    I have RE lost, some of the same poundage over and over. It comes off slow, hopefully this challenge will keep me focused this month and beyond.
    Best to everyone, hoping to get my walking back up to multiple miles a day.
