Its hard after Thanksgiving feasts and other holiday goodies coming up, but lets not make that an excuse to over eat and not be accountable. Let give each other strength especially during this time of year.

I have been a bit stuck the last part of November, Thanksgiving definitely didn't help matters, haha. Finally saw a decent drop this morning and am hoping to continue that this month! Good luck everyone, we can finish 2015 in a strong way!

I was doing great in November until Thanksgiving struck. It didn't derail me as far as my diet goes but it caused a small gain which I still haven't lost. My plan for December is to stay on plan every day except for Dec 24 & 25 and Dec 31 & Jan 1 (my birthday). I should still be able to lose 5-7 lbs by the end of the month.

SW: 200.4
GW: 195.4 (-5 lbs)

December

1. 200.4 (-0.2)
2. 199.4 (-1.0)
3. 198.8 (-0.6)
4. 198.8 (0) - This number may be inaccurate because I had a bad headache that woke me up at 5AM. I weighed myself at 5 instead of waiting until 9AM, when I usually weigh myself.
5. 198.0 (-0.8)
6. 198.2 (+0.2) - Had bacon and pancakes at Perkins yesterday. The salt in the bacon may be the reason for this gain.

Total Weekly Weight Loss: -4.4 lbs
Total December Weight Loss: -4.2 lbs

7. 196.2 (-2) - WHOOSH!

8. 197.0 (+0.8) - Expected a little kickback after the huge whoosh yesterday.
9. 195.8 (-1.2) - I was not expecting this but I'll take it!

10. 196.0 (+0.2)
11. 197.0 (+1.0) - I didn't get much sleep last night and TOM is coming any day now.
12. 197.4 (+0.4)
13. 197.4 (0)

Total Weekly Weight Loss: +2.2 lbs
Total December Weight Loss: -2.2 lbs

14. 198.4 (+1) - TOM still hasn't come and I was attacked by Christmas cookies yesterday and lost the battle. I haven't lost the war and will get back on track for at least the next 5 days - next weekend will probably be another lost cause so I need to be really strict Monday-Friday.
15. 199.2 (+0.8) (TOM)
16. 199.2 (0) (TOM) - Diet isn't going so good. I'll keep recording my weight but I might not get back on track diet-wise til the new year.

HIheart · 12-01-2015, 12:55 PM

I had a gain too from a week long cruise! I just got back so it might not be s full 3 lbs because of water weight. It was worth it, but I'm back on track

Initially I thought I would have reached my goal weight by my birthday this month, but I didn't count on plateauing twice this year which adds up to about 6 months with no weight loss. I had to start intermittent fasting in order to see any new numbers last month, but I can't keep it up and I don't want to. I'm bitter but I'm gonna keep trying to lose this excess weight until it's gone.

SW: 164.2
GW: 155 by the 19th, so much for that

12/01: 164.2
12/02: 163.2
12/03: 162.8
12/04: 162.8
12/05: 163.8
12/06: 163.8
12/07: 162.4
12/08: 162.0
12/09: 162.4 I am sick and tired of lingering in the 160s. Every TOM sends me back to the same numbers and I struggle to recover.
12/10: 161.6
12/11: 160.2
12/12: 158.8
12/13: 158.6
12/14: 158.0
12/15: 158.0
12/16: 158.8 Birthday yesterday, poor eating choices and probably more poor choices in the next few days
12/17: 160.6 Hello darkness, my old friend
12/18: 160.4
12/19: 159.2
12/20: 160.6
12/21: 160.6
12/22: 160.0 TOM start, wish I could have reached last month's low first but at least I saw the 150s again
12/23: 160.6
12/24: 160.8
12/25: 161.2
12/26: 165.4 4lbs overnight, a new record
12/27: 164.6
12/28: 164.6
12/29: 164.6
12/30: 164.2 Why does this keep happening? I could scream! I'm so tired of this sort of thing.
12/31: 164.0

So long 2015. Good riddance.

What is TOM? I've seen that acronym on these feeds a lot but can't figure it out

HIheart · 12-11-2015, 12:25 PM

Time of the month

I gain during tom/af too. And then eat everything in sight for a couple of days. It's a vicious cycle!

kiwi1222 · 12-13-2015, 10:34 AM

Thanks. All makes sense now

shelflife · 12-15-2015, 03:11 PM

Mid-month check in!

I was right that this month was going to be a challenge. I have definitely been riding the damn struggle bus. I don't think I'll make my goal this month, but hopefully I can still lose a couple of pounds. Christmas is only one day. I've got to make sure its effects only last one day!

How's everyone else doing?

LesGetFit · 12-16-2015, 03:47 PM

Sorry about the struggle bus, Shelflife! Hopefully things get easier for you the rest of the month. I know what you mean about the effects of Christmas. I am also really hoping to just let it be one day this time, because Thanksgiving seemed to derail for me for several days.

I seem to be doing ok this month so far. Expecting some normal cycle gains though so who knows where I'll be at the end of the month. Hope everyone is doing really well!

circa83 · 12-17-2015, 10:36 AM

I'm sure I won't make my goal this month either. Too many birthday goodies and still Christmas to come. I'm used to not hitting my goals this year, unfortunately. I think my body's freaking out because I've never weighed this low as an adult. I just have to keep reminding myself that gains like these are only minor setbacks. Now, I'm looking forward to a more productive, plateau-free 2016.

kiwi1222 · 12-17-2015, 11:53 AM

I have been moving super steadily. I am still having trouble getting into a new routine of being single and cooking for a single person and sometimes when I don't have somebody to cook for, I get lazy and order chinese and eat that for days for dinner, but the sodium is crazy so I bloat. I am trying to do better but my goal is looking like it will not happen. I won't have a reliable scale for all of next week so I am just gonna work extra hard so that when I get back home to my scale the number is lower. Its gonna be hard with birthday and christmas treats as well.
