    Very pleased. Managed to get through my vacation and Christmas with a loss for December. I am struggling with snacking in the evenings but trying to make adjustments. I am off to the pool.

    I do admire people who lose in December!!! Well done. You'll be back in onederland before you know it!

    Hi thank you for the warm welcome. I’m looking forward to getting back to eating healthy portion size and food choices ! I’ve been just eating whatever without any game plan. Time to walk past the containers of delicious cookies at work 🙂.
    I’m looking forward to some accountability and I think actually having to post will help me.
    Have a delightful day,
    Lauren

    Hi everyone, again with the 2 week weigh-in but the good news is I'm starting to feel human again... still have the Barry White voice though, lol! @lindamtuck2018 I hope you enjoyed your vacation!

    Username: MissGYST
    Weigh-in day: Wednesday
    Start Weight: 237.6
    12/14/22: 223.9
    12/21/22: 223.5
    12/30/22: 222.6 (I wasn't able to weigh until today)

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 I haven't monitored my steps at all for the past 2 weeks. Other than the occasional running around for Christmas, I've been laying around and hacking up my lungs - I can't remember the last time I slept this much. I will rejoin the step challenge for January - I took out my fitbit and charged it this morning. :)

    @Slimmersixties I think I just missed my goal for Christmas but thanks so much for the challenge and the encouragement!

    A few too many treats and 2 days of no tracking. Already back down 1 from the Christmas aftermath. Yes I peeked at my weight the day after... Yes my ocd is in high gear... Yes it is me who is trying to crank out the last few miles of my 2022 challenge. It is not easy. especially if you get behind. With that said anyone want to join me for 2023?

    I ate what i wanted over Christmas but have been mindful not to overeat, been for a few long walks which has helped. Im happy because i would normally gain about 7 pounds during December. Happy new year to everyone, hope 2023 is a good one for you

    Welcome to the group, good luck to you
  • A few months ago I issued a challenge to lose 21lb by Xmas. A few people joined later so set themselves individual targets. Well I'm glad to say 3 people have stuck with it and met or come very close to their goals. And then of course there is @JaysFan82 who flew past 21lb loss and achieved an incredible 50lb loss!!! Well done everyone who took part g3f0ksau2874.jpg

    Thats amazing, well done to you all 🎉🎉

    What do you count for your miles? I only do swimming and water fitness so there is no way I could accomplish it.

    I think all the pool time in the Dominican plus being mindful saved me this month.

    It’s grocery shopping day. Hopefully, it will not be busy. We are not doing anything for New Years. Pool is closed for a couple of days.

    Frankly I thought it would be worse due to the holiday debauchery: drinks, cookies, s'mores, etc. But I am excited tomorrow is the first. Family leaves soon. Getting back on track.

    You will be back in the 140’s before you know.
