  • I am so happy to see the scale move down over Christmas week. I indulged but I also made sure I stayed really active. We traveled over the holidays and I made sure to hit the gym at our hotels even if it was just to walk on treadmill for 30 minutes. I think that made a big difference because usually once I start in on the…

  • I just did this week's weigh-in because we are leaving tomorrow to travel for the holidays. I'm down 1 lb from last week - yahoo! Even though I'm only down 2 lbs from when I started this challenge, I am really pleased because I usually always gain during the holidays so I'm feeling really good about where I am. It also is…

  • So I knew I probably didn't lose because I had a bad streak of eating days from last Thurs-Sun but I was actually happy that I only gained back one pound. That is manageable. I'm really glad to be doing this challenge because even though I haven't had significant loss yet, I feel good about staying in my current range…

  • I had a good weigh in down a lb but after that I seemed to give myself permission to indulge rest of week and now today I feel like I'm starting from scratch. Im sure next weigh in wont be pretty but most important thing for me is to stay accountable and not go into denial! Challenging time of year. Lots of eating…

  • I stayed the same which was a little depressing but given the Thanksgiving holiday, I'm going to take it. Ready to really buckle down this week especially with portion sizes and consistent workouts.

  • Just logged weight. First time on the scale in a long, long time. I'm so thankful for this group and that the challenge is going to last through February. Winter in the Midwest can be rough going for healthy living! I need all the support I can get. My biggest goal for this challenge is consistency.

  • Thanks for starting this challenge. I sooooo needed something to keep me motivated through the holidays. Been up and down over the past few months and I was staring at the holidays thinking how this could really get out of control unless I got re-motivated. This challenge is just the accountability and support I needed.…

  • I am so in. Seems like it started on Halloween argh and just continued. Need to get back on track or January 1 will be overwhelmed with a hole I need to dig out of. For some reason just seems like I want to eat all the time! Need to f st grip on portion control.
    in Join my winter challenge Comment by vbandstra November 2015
  • I'd love to join. Usually I totally blow it during the holidays and I'm sick and tired of going into the New Year with that 5-7 lb gain that I have to work to shed along with the rest of the New Year pressure! Want to feel great during the holidays for a change so I am looking to drop 3-5 pounds between now and Christmas…
