CW: 179.6...lost 3.4 lbs this week. Basically took off the past 2 weeks of silliness and gain!!! Didn't make it to 150...but lost 11 lbs and I am motivated again. I want to kick the 170's to the curb next. I have enjoyed the support and friendship here with you all. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season.

Holy smokes! Way to go!!! :drinker:

CW: 181.4

Down 3lbs and I surpassed my Xmas goal! I was shocked since I haven't worked out as much as I wanted to this week thanks to a sinus infection.

I forgot to do my measurements this morning so I'll post those tomorrow.

Thanks to Jenn for starting this challenge and maintaining all the charts, and to all my fellow CCCers for helping to keep me motivated!! It's been a great journey and I hope we continue our efforts together!

My final weigh in is 160lbs. Just 6lb short of my target and I'm happy with that. I've lost 37lbs since starting on mfp at the beginning of july and 29lbs since the start of this challenge. I can't remember which measurements we need to do though.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I just ate 500 calories of chocolate, so I'm giving up on today. I'll probably be in a diabetic coma later from all the sugar because there's only so many times I can inject myself with insulin in one day. Ohhhh jeez. Christmas, why do you do this to me?

cw: 175

no change from last week - that is okay - I am trying to maintain, but enjoy the holiday foods too - I don't really want to feel deprived over diet restrictions this week - I would rather feel smarter than past years by making better decisions than in the past - I want to enjoy the foods, but not to the point of being miserable. - Come January it is back on track full force.

Thank you CCC for playing a vital role in helping me shed 35 pounds since July. You are AWESOME!!!

On a personal note - Tuesday we will be going to court to finalize the adoption of our 9 year old foster son. He is just beginning to think of himself as a part of our family instead of a "foster kid." This morning he said, "Thank you for making this the best Christmas of my life."

Merry Christmas all!!! I hope you find joy in the holidays and some positive motivation to start the new year.

Awww, that got me choked up. Beautiful, happy news!

Glad you are back with us Jenn! Hope you and your daughter are starting to feel better X :flowerforyou: X
Well done to everyone on keeping up with the weight loss challenge!
We are awesome X

Well yesterday we did actually finalize the adoption of our son. It was a happy time - A really cool and beautiful memory to treasure. We also went and got new family pictures taken. I am a little curious to compare last year's Christmas picture to this year's picture. I think I may look a little different. Woo Hoo!!!

Also I went shopping yesterday and bought 2 size 12 pants and some medium sweats!!! That was totally unexpected!! I was happy about getting into a size large, but when the large size was missing from the rack I went ahead and tried the medium.

Congrats on getting the adoption finalized! What an amazing Christmas present!

My final weight was 235, so I lost 25 pounds overall. Lost bunches of inches as well and I feel so much better than I did when I started.

Thanks so much, Jenn, for organizing this, keeping track of everything and setting us up with all those challenges that kept us motivated. I truly appreciated it.

I wish you all a wonderful new year and much success with whatever your goals are for the year. Dream big and then go get it!
