My weight has NOT been budging at all!!! Afraid I'm not going to make my goal 9 days from now :( I know I need to work out but it's so hard to make time...

I'm weird and like plain greek yogurt. I mix 1 cup of Kashi Go Lean original with it. 244 calories and ~20 g of protein!

^^ This. Also I just heard someone use "wasp" waistline the other day... . never heard that one before but it's a little more instantly obvious than snatch waistline.

Day 10 in the books! All I ate was chinese food and christmas cookies soooooooo not exactly a win lol I'm looking forward to 2018 too. 2017 was great but I'm ready for life to get back to normal. I don't want to wish the holidays away because I do think they're so great but it's not great when you attach your self-worth to…

I went to two stores to find the right pajamas for my mutt. He also has a treat jar wrapped under the tree full of treats (he's pretty new to the family so I didn't have one and wanted to get one anyway...) and he has a couple of toys wrapped up in his stocking.

A bald eagle :/ doesn't seem like much. They are pretty massive birds though!

I thought the same thing!

You look great OP, not "skinny," nice curves.. healthy looking... I'd be happy there if I were your size and had your goals! I agree with @vintagefeline... you may continue to get teased some if you're still the "skinny one" out of your friend group or whatever but you have to let that roll off your back :) ETA I'm 5'4 and…

I had a whole bunch more but as usual the app ate it. Mainly me whining about not wanting the holidays to be over because I finally get a small break but also wanting to get back to normal!

Day 9/12 ✔️ under on calories but too much sugar

Ahh! A girl after my own heart! These are two of my favorite things in the world. I limit pizza to once a week and reduce my portions (I dont' need to eat as much as my husband to be full!) Just make sure you're tracking. Measure 5 oz. of wine and log it with your food. I measure 5 oz. of water and pour it into my wine…

I completed day 8 of 12 but forgot to post here. Though I guess that isn't necessarily the challenge? lol I was over on calories due to office Christmas party but not too bad....

Day 7 of 12 ✔️ It’s been a real eye opener looking at my weekly total from last week. It usually doesn’t mean much to me since I don’t log regularly on the weekends. Guess this is why I’m not losing weight :/

That's ok @willow00 hope you feel better!

Day 6 of 12!! ✔️ halfway there! Today was much better. Only went over by 10 calories despite making nearly 8 dozen Christmas cookies! O_0

Happy birthday @fourathomej !!!! That sounds awesome :)

Day 5 of 12 ✔️ Not pretty... but I did it. Now I’d be up 8 pounds in 5 weeks if... *facepalm*

Hey ladies it’s Saturday the 16th! Time to check in! 12/16: 142.4

Day 4 of 12 ✔️ 1850 calories. Said I would actually be up 2 pounds if “every day were like today” in 12 weeks. Well. That’s discouraging... ETA that is SUPER discouraging but I also need to remind myself that everyday is NOT like today and I only drink 2-3 (at most) days a week which is where these calories are coming from!

Day 3/12 ✔️ today it says if everyday were like today... I’d be down 6.2 lbs in 5 weeks! I’m just trying to lose 5 in 5 lol

I have not looked into "potato hacking" and this is OT but I really like raw potatoes >_<

There is currently a "double chocolate butter braid" (whatever that is) in the break room that I'm not touching.

I use the app "Plant Nanny" and log only water (no other liquids) with it. Mostly because it's fun, but I can see how it would be helpful if you have trouble drinking enough water.

Little Dennis again... I think he likes the snow! In Northern Ohio we got pounded with it the past two days!

Yep! That would be considered something like a 17:7 "protocol" (fasting 17 hours and 'feasting' 7 hours)

Day 2/12 ✔️ Actually had to make more food with dinner cause I didn’t have enough calories to close my diary :/

Sounds good to me! Starting Saturday 12/16?

Hey @fourathomej ! We're both on silver team together too!

I did it! Day 1 of 12 in the books :) MFP says “if every day were like today...” I’d be down 5.5 pounds in 5 weeks. That would be amazing but I won’t hold my breath!

I'll join :)
