    I'll take that loss! My back has been hurting for a couple days, so I'm rather surprised to be down at all. I usually eat more when I'm sulking or in pain.

    I'm susceptible to the kind of magical thinking where if I didn't enjoy a food the calories don't count, so I can/should/will eat something else.
    I do that too! I'm trying so hard to remind myself I can try again *next meal* or next time I eat out, not *now.*

    Congratulations on Onederland, @goal06082021 !!

    Mary, look at you go!

    Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, a pleasant Saturday to those who don't :)

    Age: 30

    SW: 252.8 (11/13/2020)
    CW: 203.4 (11/27/2021)

    12/25: 198.6
    GW for December/2021: 196
    UGW: 144 by end of 2022

    I did see that 196 on the scale earlier this week, but things kind of went off the rails from Wednesday onward - I really underestimated how much I relied on my daily routine. Lesson learned I suppose, I'll prep some breakfasts and lunches for next week (I'm off work until 1/4). I also haven't done much exercise this week; the Planet Fitness app finally deleted the series of videos from last year that I was in the middle of as of Monday morning, so I've just been going for walks and aiming for 10k steps per day (which I've been hitting up until yesterday - I basically spent Christmas Eve on the couch, LMAO, but I guess I needed a rest day).

    We managed to score an old Mr. Coffee 12-cup drip coffeemaker from the thrift store - it needed a new thermostat, but once Hubs installed that it worked like new. We have an ungodly number of coffeemakers already, but now we have a way to make more than one cup at a time! It's even programmable - we decided the inaugural brew would be coffee for Christmas morning. (Our current collection includes, in addition to the Mr. Coffee: a first-gen Keurig; a 24-oz French press; a stovetop espresso maker/moka pot; an Aeropress; and a coffee siphon, which is the coolest-looking but biggest pain in the *kitten* to use, LMAO. We still need a pour-over cone and a Chemex to complete the set.)

My weigh in day is Sunday.

    12/5/21-171.8 lbs As of yesterday I AM NO LONGER OBESE! I AM OVERWEIGHT! Also am wearing size 10 jeans but found a brand new pair of 8's with Tags on and I just had to try them. I zipped them right up, no trouble. My flabby belly though hangs out bad over the waistband, so need to do abdominal crunches.

    Merry Christmas everyone! I have thoroughly enjoyed this Christmas season so far, especially that both of my brothers & spouses were able to join us. Last year it was prohibited and with Omicron numbers skyrocketing,  it was touch and go again this year - so hurray!

    Scale shows me up 3 lbs today, not too worried - but I am cognizant that I am just in the lull between feasting so taking it a bit easy the rest of this week until New Years and will stay within maintenance calories. Eating my turkey dinner leftovers until ham on New Year's day!

    Age 61 / height 5' 4.5"

    Aug 13/2021 - 298.8 (SW & ATH)
    November  - 272.2 (Down 26.6)

    Dec 1 - 271 4
    Dec 3 - 270.4
    Dec 10 - 269.8 (recalc'd calories)
    Dec 11 - 267.6
    Dec 17 - 268.6 (+1, but still 30.2 down total)
    Dec 24 - 267.2 (changed to maintenance calories until January)
    Dec 31

    Weight goal for December - 30 lbs down ✔ and keep that loss into the New Year (TBD)!

    I usually weigh in daily when at home, but will record weekly, trying for Fridays (if I slept at home Thursday night to weigh in next morning - until my new portable scale arrives)

    Other goals:
    [  ] Go for minimum 15 minute walk each day, indoors or out - sadly, this has fallen off - but I have been working on a step goal & my daughter gave me a mini trampoline which I plan to set up tonight. Shout out to @sargemarcori for your walk!
    [  ] Get my water in, minimum 6 cups - ✔
    [  ] Focus on adequate protein in my diet, especially seafood - added keeping carbs below 150 grams when I recalc'd my calories - did well most of December but Xmas dealt this a blow, carbs are way up
    [  ] Get Christmas stuff done!!! Enjoy the day!! ✔✔

    Hi Everyone!
    I haven't posted since the end of November. This time of year has always been particularly busy and I tend to put myself on the back burner, which means I haven't been eating correctly or exercising. The past few days I've been getting my head back on straight. I hope 2022 is the year for all of us to reach our health goals!!!
