@RubyRed427 thanks for keeping us going.
I'm going to continue with my Saturday weigh ins.
Challenge goal 6-8 lbs.
Year end goal be out of the 150s.
Welcome and good luck to everyone!
11/06 154.0
11/13 153.4
11/20 152.6 (this is my 365th day in a row logging in.)
11/29 155.0 a little late weighing in and definitely not happy. Need to remember the holiday is only one day, and get back on track. Still aiming to end the year out of the 150s.
12/06 154.4 (glad the scale is back in the right direction.)
12/11 152.4
12/24 Since next Saturday is the New Year I'll get back on track for my weigh ins next week. Happy Holidays to everyone!

Dec 4 = 249.4
Dec 11 = 248.8
Dec 18 = 246.4

Still trending the right direction. Today will certainly be a test with all the holiday treats in the house but this is where my food diary can really help me out (so I'm not mindlessly eating).

Amazing progress!4 -
Well I didn't get to the 180 or below. Had an uptick to 181.8 lbs but I was true to my calories, carbs, water and exercise so just a normal weight fluctuation. So I lost 30.2 lbs during the 3 month challenge. Which is excellent!
So starting 11/1 at 181.8 lbs with goal of 15 lbs for the 3 months. This 10 lb average / month that has been going on has got to slow down soon, I'm thinking.
Welcome back to past challengers and to the new ones!
64 yo 5' 4" Heaviest Weight twice-255 lbs, got down to 122 lbs 2010 and kept it off 5 years then got lazy.
11/1/21-181.8 lbs
11/7/21-180 lbs! Down 75 lbs.
11/14/21-176.6 lbs! Down 5.2 lbs of my monthly goal of 5 lbs and my 15 lbs for the 3 months. 78.4 lbs lost. About 60% loss of my goal of 133 lbs to lose. Did 223 minutes on my Elliptical today. I wanted to finish the last 10 minutes of the movie and wanted to hit the 16 mile mark!
11/21/21-177.4 lbs-stayed under my allotted calories/water but did eat 400-600 more calories than my usual 1000-1200. Had 1689 but with exercise was allowed 3804. I don't normally eat any of my exercise calories back. I have been losing about 10 lbs/month but expected it to slow down a month or 2 ago. Guess thats what it is doing now.
11/28/21-175 lbs. Down 80 lbs total, 6.8 lbs for November goal of 5 lbs! I did fairly well on Thanksgiving. I did my Elliptical in the morning (216 minutes-15.25 miles) At the 3 pm lunch I only ate meat (turkey, ham & pork) and broccoli and no gravy. (The sides just weren't calling to me to eat/try them, as usual, in the past). Later that night I did have a small piece of a homemade flan (I never had it before and the girl who made it is in pastry school) and someone else brought a pumpkin cheesecake that looked wondrous, from a Farmer's Market bakery, that I had brought home. I had 1,357 calories of my allotted 3,810, for the day.
12/1/21-176.2 lbs
12/5/21-171.8 lbs- Down 4.4 lbs already!
Crossed out of Obese Category into Overweight yesterday. Also wearing size 10 jeans for a couple weeks but tried on a brand new pair of 8's with the tags on yesterday. Zipped them right up easily but my flabby belly hangs out bad over the waistband so abdominal crunches starting!
12/12/21-170.8 lbs- Down 5.4 lbs for December. So met my December goal of 5 lbs. 11 lbs of the 15 lb 3 month challenge so far! :-) I was at a work Christmas bowling party last night. They were to have some Keto friendly snacks but had pizza, french fries and BREADED chicken nuggets. Glad I took some snacks myself. I had a hard boiled egg, a colby jack string cheese, some pecans and water and stayed on track. I did 242 minutes on my Elliptical this AM for 17 miles.
Couldn't wait for my regular weigh in day!
12/14-169.4 lbs :-) Yessss! Finally into the 160's! Down 6.8 lbs for December, 85.6 lbs Total. Yesterday it was thinking about getting into the 160's. But NOW I'm thinking about getting into the 150's. What a battle going on in my head! CRAZY! I could maybe be in my old clothes by summer!
I got a later start today so I only did 140 minutes on my elliptical for 11 miles today.
12/19/21-169.6 lbs
12/21/21-168.2 lbs
12/25/21-167.2 lbs Did 180 minutes yesterday on my Elliptical for 11.3 miles, and had prime rib, a roasted veggie medley of broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, onion, carrots and zucchini along with a spring mix salad with strawberries, feta and pecans with no dressing on it. I did have a piece of pumpkin cheesecake though but was under my calories.
12/26/21-165.6 lbs I LOST weight over Thanksgiving and Christmas! Today I did 240 minutes on my Elliptical for 16 miles. And I'm having the same thing tonight including the cheesecake.
I'm going to continue on as I have. No break, no slowing down or coasting. I'm feeling so much better. I'm wearing my size 8 jeans today and a medium flannel shirt that I haven't worn since 2014! I've come to learn and accept that I need to live mainly a low carb WOE for the rest of my life. My body doesn't know what to do with carbs but hang onto them as fat.
Down- 10.6 lbs of my December 5 lb goal! Down 16.2 lbs of my November, December & January 15 lb goal! Down 89.4 lbs of my 133 lb goal!
Thank you to EVERYONE for your encouragement! Wishing a Happy New Year to you all and continued successes!!!

Hello all! I am going to give this a try. I have been actively watching my CICO for almost 2 years. In the spring I started eating gluten free-ish (about 95%) to help alleviate symptoms from hashimoto's. I started Dec 1, 2019 at 231.0 lbs. I am a 38 year old mom of two who "loves" to run half marathons.
November: 203.4 - 199.8: 3.6 lb loss
12/1: 200.0 lbs - the past two night i have had a snack of honey nut cheerios. i haven't been hungry but just wanted something. tonight i will NOT eat cereal!!!
12/2: 200.4 lbs - I'm not quite sure what caused the gain because I was well under my calories yesterday (and no cereal). But fluctuations happen!

12/4: 199.2 lbs - 4 miles and dog walk done this morning. Now to start the Christmas shopping!!
12/5: 198.8 lbs
12/6: 200.2 lbs - I didn't pretrack my meals yesterday and went slightly over calories. I've been doing this so long, that rarely happens. This will come off.
12/7: 199.2 lbs - happy tuesday!
12/8: 199.0 lbs -
12/9: 198.4 lbs - 2 days of an upset stomach. I have no clue why.
12/10: 198.0 lbs - 3 days with super low calories. I am assuming I will rebound a little bit this weekend.
12/11: 199.0 lbs - not surprised I had too much sodium yesterday. 😃
12/13: 198.8 lbs
12/14: 199.0 lbs

Hello! I’m 34F, 5’4 and started using MFP again at the end of May and feel like I am in it for the long haul this time, learning how to cook healthy foods and creating healthy habits.
May 28th 2021 Weight 240lbs (also my highest weight)
Ultimate goal weight 170lbs (I’ll reassess once there but that feels more like a doable goal right now)
Challenge starting weight- 204lbs
Challenge end goal- 195lbs (was 190lb but adjusted my calorie goal a bit higher)
Sunday is my weigh in day
11/01 204.0 up a bit from yesterday but had double my normal sodium intake yesterday. It makes for an even number to start out with
11/07 205.8 +1.8lbs had an imaging appointment the next town over was stressing out for, day of didn’t eat beforehand then went shopping and brought so many treats plus fast food for lunch and dinner. That was the only day I actually went over my bmr but was over my calorie goal more often this week. Plus side, results of imaging were good news.
11/14 204.0, 1.8 lbs lost, 0.0lbs lost this month. Alright, am now at least back where I started this month. Had a pretty good week, two hikes, one walk and two shopping days that got a lot of steps. Finally found a pair of hiking shoes that fit (had to get a mens pair as have not found one women’s pair in wide) Been wearing them around the house and for shopping, hopefully will be good today, first time using them on a hike.
11/21 203.4 -.6lbs the week and month. Okay week. 1 hike and 3 walks but was more hungry this week, and ate out a couple days so I was over my calorie goals a few times. Edited my calorie goal to losing .5lbs a week and may keep it like that for a bit… I won’t make my 190lb challenge goal that way but will still be in onderland by end of the challenge
11/28 202.2 -1.2lbs this week, 1.8lbs this month. 4 walks this week, I eat somewhat unhealthy for a few days this week. On the plus side I also tried a couple healthy new recipes: a Lentil-potato soup and a chicken curry. Both very nummy. Think the loss is more a cumulative couple week whoosh than anything in particular I did this week.
-1.8lbs total this month.
12/05 201.0 -1.2 this week and month. -3lbs challenge. Had a pretty good week, 1 hike, 4 walks and a yardwork day. Under my calories goal every day. Tried a red lentil curry and a tomato garlic chicken curry. Both tasted amazing, I did overcook the lentils, it is a learning process.
12/12 201.6 +.6 this week, -.06 this month, -2.4 this challenge *sigh* Exercised 5 days this week, I was over calories two days and under the rest of the week, overall had a good week. Next week will hopefully show improvement number wise, just gotta keep plugging away
12/19 199.4 -2.2lbs this week, -2.8:this month -4.6 this challenge. !!!Am excited to touch wonderland for the first time in a while. Hopefully won’t bounce back too much next week after such a nice loss this week. Had a great week, had a staycation. Exercised 6 days this week, and got a lot of steps in the 7th. Was under my calories 6/7 days as well. Food experiment this week was a savory oatmeal. Put in tomato paste, garlic and onion powder and topped with some mozzarella cheese. So nummy!
12/26 199.8 +.4lbs -1.4lbs this month and 4.2 this challenge. not as bad of an increase as I was expecting, I was over my calories on 4 days, and would have been on a couple,others as well if not for my exercise calories. thanks to food cart food, a few slices of cake and a milkshake. They were nummy and enjoyable but it’s time to get back to a treat now and then instead of daily.

November to January 31, 2021.
I'm continuing from the last challenge. I lost 6 pounds. My goal is to keep moving toward a plant-based eating plan and ultimately get my weight into a BMI of 22-23 or about 125-128 pounds. This Challenge Start Weight: 144.5 Challenge Goal: 135
11/1 - 144.5
11/8 -144 (- 0.5)
11/15 - 144 (same)
11/22 - 143.5 (snore... there’s a rock on my desk that says “Patience”!)
11/29 - 143.5 (I’ll take it. Really ate too much at Thanksgiving and the day before... and the day after! Back on track now. Low Impact Aerobics today.)
12/6 - 142 (-1.5) Moving in the right direction.
12/12 - 140.5 (-1.5) I’ve ramped up the exercise to 5 days and I’m staying on the plant-based eating plan. Seems like things are moving along but I’m bracing myself for a plateau.
12/20 - 139.5 (-1) Yay, goodbye 150s, goodbye 140s! -5 pounds so far this challenge and -6 the last = 11 pounds down! Merry Christmas everyone!
12/27 - 139 (-0.5) Bouncing around the scale last week and ended up here. My birthday is coming up. You know how New Years can be? Reflective for me. So double that when it’s your birthday
in the same week.

I’m whittling it back down, NOW, before it takes up residence!
I also found out I’m 5’8” now (1/2” shorter than I was in 2015) so once I get back in my maintenance range, I will set a new, lower maintenance range- to be more in line with shorter height.

I find maintenance is usually easy & occasionally (like right now) difficult for a few days. Once my taste buds go back to low sodium/low sugar, it’s much easier.
It’s scary, but I can feel I’ll get back on track after a few days of attention.

Dec 27 Weigh In
(54,F, 5’5”)
SW 162lb Jan/21
(GW 150lb reached Nov/21)
Last weigh in 154.2lb Dec 21
TW 154lb
I have gained around 4 lb since I had reached my Goal of 150lb in November/21. Obviously not ideal, but I am aware of why and how that happened so if I focus on adjusting these factors I’m hoping to get back down to 150lbs - at the least - by the end of this challenge January 31/21!
Wishing all happiness, peace and good health going into the New Year of 2022!9 -

Good morning friends! Instead of making NY resolutions, consider choosing a "Word of the Year" that will represent your growth or goals. Here's an image of some possible words.

Over the past week I made balanced food choices, and I ate an appropriate amount of Christmas cookies (which the exception of one emotional binge Christmas Eve). I also managed to get in a couple of walks. It’s been challenging focusing on my health goals, but I’m proud of my work.
I’m looking at my Jan 31 goal weight, and I’m realizing that losing 6 pounds in a month is unlikely. I’m curious to see how close I’ll get to it. Happy New Years!

Well, THAT'S not happening! Weighed in today at 171.8
I think I picked up a lot of water over the last few weeks with alcohol and sugar since I weighed in at 166 about a week and a half ago. Hoping to drop a lot of that bloat over the next week so I'm keeping with the weekly targets below. I still have hope that I'll get close to my January 31 goal!

Hello all! I am going to give this a try. I have been actively watching my CICO for almost 2 years.

I looked at my weight on 1/1/21 of last year and I have gained 3.2 lbs. Not as bad as it could have been. I will throw myself into this challenge starting tomorrow. I hope to lose 8 lbs by 1/31. Mini goals are the best way for me. To look at your previous recorded weight on MFP go to "check in" then "edit previous entries" and you can find previous logged weight. Happy New Year and be safe , Everyone!6

@SunnyDays930 I like your mini-goals.
I pledge to lose 5 pounds by Jan. 31st. I have to. My health depends on it. I feel this extra weight brings down my immunity to colds and Covid.9 -

Dec 01…..188.7…..(Trend Weight: 189.5)….. My brother passed away today at the age of 54. It was rather sudden but I was caring for him with the help of end-care hospice. I’m a hot mess and have been for a bit. I don’t know how I am going to pull myself together, especially with the holidays here. That’s always a tough time for dieting. I’m doing everything from eating my emotions to bingeing. Nothing will bring him back. I’ve got to get a grip. Please be patient with me, my friends. I’m doing good minutes or moments at a time but it doesn’t last. But I never give up. This reminds me how much my family needs me. I’ve got to get back to the positive changes I need to make. I just need a minute.
Dec 07…..188.2…..(Trend Weight: 189.4)…..
Dec 14…..191.6…..(Trend Weight: 190.4)….. The death of my brother has really found me spiraling out of control. It has been horrid. Couple that with travel for Christmas shopping and all the cravings that come with being off plan and it’s a recipe for disaster. Hell, I haven’t even started baking yet. I’ve got to get a grip. Nothing will bring him back.
Dec 21…..191.4…..(Trend Weight: 190.5)….. Another death this week. A friend of 20 years age 55 from an Asthma attack. I had a full-on binge yesterday of BBQ chips and donuts that I bought at the store when I went to get water. It was so bad that I skipped dinner just to off-set the calories. I feel like death warmed over today. I have none of the energy that good foods would have given me. This is just another example of my food killing me, like a poison because of my relationship with it. I’ve got to do better! I know this was emotional eating. Too many death's this month. But it solves nothing!
Dec 28…..193.6…..(Trend Weight: 191.7)….. Doing horribly during the holiday and baking season. Also just eating my emotions and taking the easy way out. Gotta stop the madness!
Dec 31…..191.6…..(Trend Weight: 191.7)….. On December 31, 2020 my weight was at 207.0. Down 15.4 pounds this year and for that I am grateful. I plan on working even harder in 2022. Happy New Year everyone!

A year ago I was 190 pounds, about to need emergency gall bladder surgery, and sick of being fat and tired. Today I weigh 158 pounds and a good deal of my success is thanks to all of you posting in these threads, keeping me logging in and motivated. I still have to work to do and look forward to cheering you all on in 2022.
