Minneey! Yay!!! Congrats on making goal!! Great job!!!
BFR, love the story of the strawberry shortcake! How lucky you were to be able to eat food like your mother used to make! You may not have planned scheduled cheat days but you do have planned unscheduled cheat allowances, and it works for you, and that's great!
Turtle, way to maintain!
Pixikat, great job getting back on plan! Yay losing the water weight quickly!
Joy, I know! It's great! Although, I have to admit I am having a tough time being consistent with exercise this month. I don't know if I'm just really distracted with the holidays or what. I'm finding it hard exercising even two days in a row! I guess as long as I'm still exercising a few days each week, it'll be okay!
Samm, yay on being down another .8!
Sum, woohoo on the whoosh!
Kelijpa, congrats on the drop!
183, I'm glad you are being careful while out running! Have a great time with your friend at the Christmas fair! I hope it turns out to be lots of fun for the two of you!

Jacqui- fluctuations will happen, but it'll go back down! just stay strong!
nightangel Just be careful not to overeat at night because you are over hungry.
183 well, if you indulge go easy, dont go crazy, and get right back on track tomorrow!!!
Rsadler Could just be fluctuations due to hormones, water, etc. But exercise is ALWAYS a good idea. Keep up the good work and maybe on New Years Eve you will be below your december goal
Turtle It looks like you may be struggling? Whats up? maybe we can help
Gardner YAY!!!! Congrats! I can't wait til I can say something similar.
Sum *poke* c'mon girlie! you can do it!
Watchoutforthatcar you are getting there! go go go!
I am the same today as yesterday, which is good because I am sore from going to the gym yesterday. Hopefully soon I will have a lower number! Today I plan to go to the gym than it is off to work. It is a payment deadline at the bursars office so they bring us lunch in. I ordered a cobb salad because it was the most atkins friendly thing on the menu that didn't require special ordering. I figured if they are ordering for the whole office I shouldn't specialize mine. Knowing them they will have desserts too, I must be strong and avoid them. The good thing is I am working the window and we can't eat up there so that should keep me busy and away from them.
My goal is to lose 8lbs in the month of December and start 2014 in the 150's!!!
December 10th - 166.8lbs
December 11th - 166.0lbs (-0.8lbs)
December 12th - 166.0lbs (-0.8lbs)
December 13th - 165.6lbs (-1.2lbs)
December 14th- 164.2lbs (-2.6lbs)
December 15th- 163.4lbs (-3.4lbs)
December 16th- 162.8lbs (-4.0lbs)
December 17th- 162.0lbs (-4.8lbs)
December 18th- 161.8lbs (-5.0lbs)
December 31st- 158.8lbs (Fingers crossed!! )

Congrats on the new lows GardenerJoy and Jacqui, congrats on making goal Minney! Great job Samm.
to anyone I missed, couldn't get on at home this a.m. feel like I missed a lot on the thread fast moving.
BFR thanks for the update, it helps reading how other people deal with challenges, I know what you mean about not wasting food. I love watching dogs eat chips, I feed mine the tiniest piece and he chews it like 10 times, funny.
Yay!!! Congrats on making goal!! 
Great job!!! 
Have a great time with your friend at the Christmas fair! I hope it turns out to be lots of fun for the two of you!
