Hi Everyone!

MY name is Samm and I am new to this forum. I love the idea of a challenge to keep me accountable!! :D My goal for December is to end the year in the 150's - I would like to lose 8 pounds by the end of the month...which puts me well into the 150's!! I'm starting a little late though so fingers crossed.....

December 10th - 166.8lbs

11/30: 155.6

Hanging out at 178. Pre-TOM hormones may be playing a part. I'll drink a lot of water today and see if that helps! :cheers:

Turtle, I cannot believe how close you are to your wedding weight! Keep pushing forward! :cheer:

Nice drop, Sum!

Hi Samm! :welcome: Good to have you! Good luck!

Joy, you're so close! Sometimes I think those daily fluctuations are just playing mind games with us, lol! :dizzy:

Boatingmommy, I know how it is! And good for you on saying no to goodies that might have been a temptation for you1 Way to go! :cp:

Pixikat, my fingers are crossed for you! How great it would be not to have to take a final! :crossed: And great job with your continued weight loss! :dancer:

Kelijpa, you are just as supportive, so thank YOU! :hug:

Rsadler, after reading your comment, I had to look up Glühwein, and it does sound pretty wonderful, especially as I sit here looking out the window at 4 inches of snow on the ground! :brr:

183, congrats on being a lb down, have fun at your choir concert, and enjoy your Glühwein! :xcheer:

BFR missed you today, thought of you while I was out walking my little dog making sure I had something to report in the exercise thread :D

Accountability...
 

well, I told ya I tend to disappear when I'm not behaving...the scale jumped and I felt even less inclined to behave... I think when I weighed yesterday I was back at 268...I'll post about a weigh in tomorrow... just posting to keep up right now I guess.... :censored: :nono:

hope everyone is doing better.... I know.... bad time of year for goals I guess... good luck! ;)

yesterday's weigh-in: 77,3kg (170.4lbs)
yesterday's calories: 1500
yesterday's exercise: 1h crossfit
today's weigh-in: 77,7kg (171.3lbs)
change: +0,4kg (+0.9lbs)

good morning :)

my scale always goes up after I did crossfit. Last week it took me 7 days to get back down -- I hope this week it's quicker.
My choir concert was nice. Afterwards we were all outside at the Glühweinstand and the trumpets played traditional Christmas songs. It was very festive. Good times.

Rsadler126 Glühwein is awesome! I only drink it at the Christmas fair though. When it's really cold and you get a hot, nice-smelling cup... aww, nothing better.

pnkrckpixikat hope your finals went well! seriously :D

boatingmommy nice drop! will power resisting Christmas temptations is paying off...

samm14 :welcome2: 8 pounds is a pretty ambitious goal, so good luck!! you can do it :)

Jacqui_D sorry about calling it Glühwein - in Germany we get taught some special words don't have a translation so to use the German one. I read it before in the US, too. That smiley is awesome, by the way!! Totally me at the Christmas fair!! :xcheer:

Minneey :dust: Hope you have a good time at your functions though!

NightAngel26 Posting in here daily really helps me stay accountable. Not because I need to justify my eating or exercise to anyone -- except for myself. Puts me in the right mind first thing in the morning (mostly). You can do this!!

Happy Wednesday everyone! :wave:
(it's 11.12.13, by the way :))

Thanks everyone for the positive vibes and encouragement I really appreciate it!

Happy December!

NightAngel I know exactly what you mean about staying away when you're not doing well. I've done it, too. I make myself check in somewhere just so I don't get out of the habit. Just try and be as good as you can when you can and you'll get through. Then we'll hit it hard in the new year. :hugs:

183 sounds like the concert and afterward was great, glad to hear it. I was up 0.4 yesterday up 0.2 today, hoping for a good day today!
