Good morning you guys

I was away yesterday and didn't have my scale.
I weighted in at 79,9kg this morning, which means I gained more than 2kg this month.
And let's be honest - that sucks, and it bummed me out.
I have mega big issues with social eating and especially social drinking with eating, so December with all it's get-togethers and functions really isn't aiding my weigh tloss. So yeah, I definitely know where it's coming from.

But not gonna lie - I'm not too sad right now
I started changing my life in January 2013, and since then I lost a round 30kg, run 10ks on the regular and overall gained a lot of fitness.
So, while I didn't make goal this month, I think I made goal for the year

Slip into the New Year well, everybody! I will see you in the January thread

I am in PA Darius so 14 hours.

183 congrats on your year, that is awesome!! So proud of you!

I, too, did not do as well through Dec., especially the end, but am happy with where I'm at and looking forward to getting it done in 2014.

:new year:

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

Happy December!
My goal is to lose 6.8 pounds and get solidly into the 150s!

Kept off 3.7 for the month, had 18 days in the 150s, so over half the month, 10.9 off for the year, showed myself I can still lose, calling this a success, see you in the January challenge!!

Well, it's been an interesting year...the last one where I might not worry about the number on the scale....I try not to worry about those things pregnant.... so here I am. Well, my weigh in was 263....not bad considering what I've been eating. I'll take it... not goal but not the worst. So I lost 5 lbs this month. See you in the January thread, hope 2014 is what you all want it to be! I expect that this new year must be better.... it has to be.

Well it was close, sort-of met goal Thanks everyone for the encouragement, can't wait to see you guys in the new year !!

Happy New Year's Eve Everyone! Have fun and stay safe tonight!!!

I'm down a half lb to a brand new low again, 172 lbs! I'm off by a lb in making goal for the month, but considering TOM is visiting half a month late right now and I got through Christmas fairly unscathed, that is a win!

Kelijpa, great attitude! Being as good as you can whenever you can is the best that any of us can do! You've had a great year!

Darius, wow, you did wonderfully well! See you in the January thread!

183, you've had an amazing year! And 2014 I'm sure will be just as fantastic for you!

NightAngel, 5 lbs for the month of December is excellent! Great job!

Turtle, you definitely met goal! Claim it proudly because you earned it! :

Happy NYE everyone!

Jacqui you have done AMAZING this month!

Turtle bah you totally met goal, you are just having some water fluctuations right now

nightangel 5lbs is wonderful! keep up the good work in the new year

kelijpa I think you are in with turtle you were at goal and are still just waiting on water to cooperate

as for me and goal... idk I am torn, I did well but I did still have a nibble here or there of off plan foods, more than I should have. I tend to be my own worst critic though so if jacqui says I made it I will let her judge lol

Thank you everyone for all the support here!!! See you in January!!!

I didn't quite make my goal, but I'm very happy with where I ended up the year.

SW: 76 kgs
CW: 75.2 kgs (NC in kgs)

Yay, pnkrckpixikat! I definitely trust Jacqui_D's judgment on this matter.

Congrats to all of us who lost any thing in December. I didn't keep track but there was a bunch! That's an achievement in December.

And congrats to everyone who is still posting and reading posts at the end of this thread, and ready to move on to January. If you're doing that, you're head's still in the game and all the energy of the new year will be just the push to make the changes happen.

Pixikat, you definitely made it! You didn't set "stay on plan" as your goal. You set "stay on plan more" as your goal, and you did that by a long shot! I am so proud of you! You did great!

Thanks jacqui!!! I'm proud of you too!!!

I didn't make it to my goal, but I only gained 2 lb, which is good considering the Christmas spread. And I've been super busy at work, which is why I haven't been posting.
