    Hello I'm Darlene and have been with this group for a while now. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). I have been on this weight loss journey since January 2023. 💖I wouldn't be where I am today without this group (along with a couple other challenges I am in); I am so thankful for their support and accountability. 💖

    🤶🎄My Goals for December🎄🤶

    ⚖️ Lose 4 pounds (always my goal) - Will be tough this month, but am keeping it anyway
    17K steps daily with one day of rest
    📝 Log Daily
    🥗 Stay under my calorie range
    💪 Strength Train 3 days per week
    🧘‍♀️ Tai Chi or Yoga 1 day per week
    💦 6+ glasses of water

    👣 📝 🥗 💪 🧘‍♀️ 💦
    Highest Weight 228
    November Ending Weight 164.6

    Dec 1: 164.8 📝 🥗 💪 🧘‍♀️ Hello December!
    Dec 2: 165 👣 📝 🥗 🧘‍♀️ 💦 My first holiday event this weekend. Greg and I are off to Newport, RI. We go every year this time of year. It is a city set on an island in Rhode Island. Really cute shops, great restaurants. They decorte the city for Christmas. We go and see the lights, do some shopping and our annual "Taste of Newport". We usually go to 5 different restaurants (Lunch, Appetizer, Dinner, Dessert and BF the following morning), and plenty of drinks with that. This will be the first year that I'm going since I started this weight loss journey. I am going to enjoy myself, but also going to try to curb that this year. We are thinking - just small plates for each and and/or sharing. I won't be weighing tomorrow, but will be back Monday AM to catch up.
    Dec 3: DNW 👣
    Dec 4: 167.2 👣 It could have been a lot worse. We had a wonderful time - back at it today. Hoping it comes off as quickly as the Thanksgiving gain did. Here is a picture of us on the balcony of our room - sunset and harbor in background. It was a beautiful day - almost 50 degrees.
    Dec 5: 166.8 👣 📝 Bingo night with Mom, got home and was ravinous. Don't know why but the late night binge took place and I ate over my calorie range. It will probably show up on the scale tomorrow.
    Dec 6: 166.8 👣 📝 🥗 🧘‍♀️ 💦
    Dec 7: 165.8 👣 📝 🥗 💦 Trying to get back to my low before our next event on the 16th. It's getting there slowly. Took a 5 mile walk at the beach yesterday - love the smell of the salt water. We were practically the only ones there - Monty had a wonderful time. Came home, did a little xmas shopping.
    Dec 8: 164.8 📝 🥗 💦 Almost there! Rest day. Monty went to the groomer; thought we would wait for him to get home before we took out walk - but it took ALL day - he was gone for 6 hours. Apparently they had some kind of problem with another customer - so they did them first. I wasn't too happy. We skipped the walk. He does look nice though.
    Dec 9: 164.6 😁👣 📝 🥗 💦 Made it back to my low!
    Dec 10: 164 😁👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Woo Hoo! Quiet day yesterday - decorated the outside for xmas, wrapped some presents. My normal workout routine. Today it is supposed to rain all day - so no walks outside. I have to do it on the treadmill - Ugh! I can never do the 5.5 miles straight on the treadmill (my normal morning walk). I have to break it up into 2 miles stretches - gets way to boring for me. Yes - I do watch TV why I'm doing it - but just not the same as being outside. Maybe do some "Get Fit with Rick" routines to get some of the time in.
    Dec 11: 163.6 😁👣 (aka ddainiak) I changed my name! Very happy to see a loss because I was not on plan yesterday. I have a few drinks and when I do that I give in to my temptations. Feel lousy this morning.
    Dec 12: 164 👣 📝 I walked and logged, but got into the goodies last night so went a bit over my limit. Not by much, but over!
    Dec 13: 163.6 📝 🥗 I did walk yesterday, but didn't make my 17K goal. I guess I'll call it my rest day (wasn't planning on it). I have been terrible with the water - will concentrate on that today.

    Dec 14: 164.2 👣 Bong! Bong! But it is what I expected today. I was off plan all day - been a tough week for me to stick to it. I need to get it together for the next couple days - friends Christmas party on Saturday where I know I will overdo it a bit. My committment - get it all done for the next two days!

    @Melwillbehealthy So glad you had a great turnout. Isn't it amazing to see how far you have come. When I focus on the day to day swings it's so hard to see the whole picture. Fifty pounds in a year is fabulous! 😁

    @Rh1aB1a I'm with you! Let's kick 164's ---! 😉

    @deepwoodslady You have been doing so well lately. You should be happy - give the Grinch scale a raspberry.

    @StirredIntention For your self care - you have a ball a yarn. Are you knitting or crocheting? What are you making?

    Hello, I’m Jill. 🥰I’m 53, 5’7” and I live in Michigan.

    My goals for December🎄 :
    ⚖️Weigh- in daily
    📝Log daily
    🙆‍♀️Stretch daily/ Move daily
    Get back down to under 200 pounds

    Starting weight January 1st: 224.5
    January weight lost: 7.7 pounds
    February weight lost: 5 pounds
    March weight lost: 6 pounds
    April weight lost: 6.5 pounds
    May weight lost: 2.6 pounds
    June weight lost: 1.6 pounds
    July weight lost: 1.3 pounds
    August weight lost: up 1 pound
    September weight loss: 1.8 pounds
    October weight loss: up 3.1 pounds
    November weight loss: up .6 pounds

    🎄December:
    1: 203.4– Time to get all gears going. I’ve been really good getting on the scale everyday, but I have a hard time with consistent logging.
    I’ve noticed that it’s easier on the computer than the phone, so my goal for December is to log every day.

    2: 203.5– logged for breakfast… it’s the very beginning of getting back into logging, so I’ll take that as a win. Baby steps.

    3: 201.6 not sure what happened… but I’ll take it. I weigh myself 4x then take the average… so we’ll see what happens tomorrow.

    4: 203.6–there is the bounce back. It’s all good though. Taking carrots to work as my crunchy snack today, along with soup and salad. My goal is to log everything today. Happy Monday!

    5: 201.3 I logged everything and it felt great!
    Let go for 2 in a row.

    6: 202.3 Day 2 of logging is complete! Let’s do 3!

    7: 202.5 Day 3 complete. It wasn't pretty but it was logged! Day 1 of exercise. Up to the Beat fitness by Gina B on YouTube is my go to exercise.

    8: 202.6 Day 4 of logging and day 2 of exercise. Starting healthy routines for 2024 now. Now to get my snacking under control!😉

    9: 202.8 Day 5 of logging and my snack monster 👿 is in overdrive… fighting the logging…but I know this is what I need to do to get and stay below 200 pounds. It takes me a good month to get everything in sync… logging, staying at or below calories, and exercise. December won’t be pretty, but I’m happy to be creating healthy routines.

    10: 202.5 Day 6 of logging.

    11: 203.6 Day 7 of logging. Lots of salty foods yesterday. Time to whip up a big salad for lunch… and take some clementines.
    Finished up Christmas decorating with the family last night.

    12: 203.6 Day 8 of logging and trying to let go of guilt with snacking. Setting up healthy habits for 2024.

    13: 203.8 Day 9 of logging and as you can see, my brain is fighting it. I need to start listening harder to my stomach instead of my brain when it comes to food. Working on getting it back into check. All part of the process.

    I will be posting the 🌺🌼2024–52 Week Challenge🌼🌺 New Year/Healthier You challenge closer to January along with our continued monthly challenges. I’m so happy you’re all on board for 2024!

    14: 205 😔 My husband tested positive for Covid yesterday. His las Covid booster was around Halloween this year so we’re hoping it’s mild. The kids and I all tested negative.

    November weight loss: 1.6

    Hello, I'm a busy mom and this is my 4th month with this group. I am slowly working my way to my goal weight.

    My goal for December is to not get derailed by Christmas! This will be a challenge, because I love to eat ALL the Christmas cookies from December 25-early January. My goal will be to log from December 27-31, in addition to checking in daily.

    Start weight September 1: 141.0 lbs

    December start weight: 128.2 lbs
    December goal: 126.6 lbs Considering Christmas, I want to be conservative with my goal, but I want to still have an overall loss for the month.

    December 1: 128.2 I logged 🎄
    December 2: 129.2
    December 3: 128.8
    December 4: 129.4 I logged 🎄 Had extremely busy days on the 1st & 2nd; went out to dinner at a restaurant; and have had some hormonal issues with my cycle starting. Hopefully this is the worst of the gain. Now I can get back to my calorie goal & logging.
    December 5: 129.4 I logged 🎄
    December 6: 128.6
    December 7: 128.8 I logged 🎄
    December 8: 128.4 I logged 🎄 Lately I have found it very tough to make my calorie goal. Gotta just keep trying every day.
    December 9: 127.4 I logged 🎄 Yesssss! Yesterday it wasn't hard to reach my calorie goal. I had a big breakfast and then lots of protein in the afternoon. Maybe that had something to do with it. Or, maybe I'm getting used to my calorie goal again.
    December 10: 127.6
    December 11: 126.8 Woo-hoo; very happy with today's weight. I have not felt very good the last couple days; decided to take the day off from logging yesterday, but I was careful not to overindulge.
    December 12: 127.8 I logged 🎄 Didn't feel so good yesterday either! Logging went by the wayside. I really think it's hormonal. I think I'm feeling better today; my goal is to log successfully today.
    December 13: 127.8 I logged 🎄
    December 14: 127.8 This morning I thought surely the scale was "stuck." But it's acting normal these days, so 127.8 it is. Also; our new cat is causing me to get more exercise. He keeps trying to climb our Christmas tree and attack the ornaments, and I am spending quite a bit of energy chasing him around.

    I am happy to hear your concert went well and congratulations on your 50 pound weight loss! Such an amazing accomplishment!

    @stormy - I hope your renovations are on the smoother side for the rest of the month!

    @aliciadalicia - Welcome!
