I just wanted to reach out and say hello to everyone and have a great day!

My weigh in days are Mondays. What day does everyone weigh in?

:goodluck:

:grouphug:

Thanks to everyone on the answers to my former post question :)

Hello everyone; today is Friday weigh-in day.
I have been losing tons of water over the last 3 weeks since I started my diet.
Good luck to everyone this month!

Small non-scale victory last night: Quit smoking 14 years ago, 9PM 10 December 2002.

Joining a little late. I'm not going to weigh in daily, just weekly, but I'll try to check in with all of you daily. My biggest goal is simply to get a handle on my binging and eat a bit more healthy. Though weight loss is my hope it's not completely my goal.

CW: 203

12/11 - 203

Joining too
 

I'd like to join in as well. My hectic schedule has calmed down so I feel better able to focus.

Weighed in today, and am thrilled.

I began the December weight loss challenge at 233 LBS, and today I weighed 229 LBS :cheer2:

Minus 4 pounds in 12 days. I'll take it :D

Congrats on your big losses Darius and Jesika!!!!:carrot:

Way to go!!!


I didn't have a good weekend, had to focus on family activities and forgot about myself :(. Didn't workout on Saturday and Sunday, and my eating went completely off-plan. I will get back on track today.

Jesika, about your question, I don't have a weigh in day. I definitely don't weigh myself if I am feeling heavy or bloated, only when I'm feeling light.

Let's go everyone, don't give up!!!

192!!!!

Congrats Bslope0! You're really ahead of the game.

Thank you very much for the words of support stronggal! I really appreciate it. Best of luck to you staying on plan this month - a very difficult month to do.
I'm in a depressing series of affairs right now - I'm making final preparations to leave Japan after living here for 13 years. My wife died earlier this year from leukemia and I am moving back to the US next week. It's been so much work settling finances, mailing boxes of stuff back to the US. I've thrown so much stuff away. I've mailed back mementos. It's very depressing.

I'm so sorry to hear that Darius. That's a lot of very stressful and hard events to deal with. Be kind on yourself, especially if you slip up with weight loss. Sometimes with self-care you need to focus on some priorities over others.

Thank you very much LovelyLeah for the kind words of support.
Small scale victory this AM - went under 300 lbs to 298.6!
Lost about 19.2 lb so far!

Thank you
 

Thank you! I know I cant expect such great numbers next month since this is mostly water weight and bloat but I am enjoying it for the time being :-)

Happy December all!
Wow, it's here already.

Congrats bslope0 on your big loss!!!!

That's the way it is...

People who have more to lose, will lose faster. Including water weight, but there's nothing wrong with that!

I believe you will still keep losing in big numbers until you reach maybe 150's? Dunno, everyone is different!

Congrats!!!

Darius, I am sorry to hear about your loss. Wishing you the best through this difficult time in your life.

Hope things will get better!!!

Congrats kelijpa, you are doing great, way to go, kicking December to the curb!!!

I really want to weigh myself but I made a promise to only weigh myself once a week to prevent me from becoming obsessed with the number. Grrr!! But the upside is TOM decided to come into the picture so maybe it's best not to see the number. My goal is healthy living with the added bonus of weight loss. Healthy living is a lot harder than dieting but maybe it'll be more permanent...fingers crossed!

Darius I'm so sorry for your loss. Hope your travel and move are safe and uneventful. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Hello everyone; today is Friday weigh-in day.
Gardnerjoy I made goal this week.
Thanks very much to stronggal, LovelyLeah, and kelijpa for the kind words of support this week.
Good job kelijpa keep up the good work.
Good luck to everyone this month!

Alrighty, so I managed to gain 2 pounds this past week and have no clue how -- I am now 5 pounds away from my goal for the end of December. Hmmm... Wonder if I'll make it?

Starting weight: 139.8

Goal weight: 135.2

Current: 135.6

Almost there! I will give myself some slack for Christmas and then a cleanse diet the week after.

Goal was 130 for this month. At 134. I've been doing yoga, some strength, and walking around outside more this week since it warmed up some.

12/26: 192 up 2 lbs was bad christmas and christmas eve. Hoping I can still hit my goal weight before the end of the month. I was at 190 sunday morning :-(

Are you setting health and weight loss goals for 2017?

Join us for our first monthly weight loss challenge of the New Year: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...challenge.html

Hi Joy :) wishing you a happy New year and that goes out to all.

I had a goal of losing 5 lbs. this month and lost 7.8. I did see I had lost earlier in the month but did not want to report it until month's end. With it being Christmas and all, I knew I could gain as well if not careful so I waited..did not want to claim any victory too soon! Thanks for running these Joy. I will be popping over shortly to join the new monthly too! It will be a nice breakdown into Spring.

Health and happiness to you all in the New Year, and always!

Missed my goal by 1 lbs. Christmas eve drinking and christmas Chinese food did me in lol. Heres to a new month and still had a great month even though I missed it by 1 lbs
