Keep up the good work guys ! 1 more Christmas supper for me to tough out, then rewarding myself with a lobster dinner! Holidays haven't been as bad as I thought

It looks like that Crossfit workout did stall my progress a bit as I expected. My coach thought it was only a 15min workout when she recommended it to me. It wasn't too bad of a week though, I still had a 3lb loss. Fat and Muscle % was exactly the same as last time. I'm just glad nothing went in reverse.

It took my body almost a week to fully recover but I am back to 100% so I am going to get back into my normal workout routine today. I hope to have more muscle than fat by the end of the year. The percentages are really close right now.

Keep up the great work everyone! Stay strong during these holiday meals. Im still trying to perfect the holiday cookie. It has gotten better but I ran out of drink mixes so I had to resupply yesterday. I'll be sure to post a recipe if one turns out as desired.

Hi everyone.

Got on the scale this morning and noticed that I am 4 lbs up from my goal. Guess I need to buckle down a little. I want to keep my weight within a 5 lb range, so I'm still ok. But, this is near the top of that range.

Looks like it's all in the right places.

I missed you guys. Just checking in.

I have been missing you ALL always! haha! Just saying hey...applied for 2nd top job in the store level company (Lowe's) yesterday...hoping I get it! Keep fingers crossed for me all!
JW: Did the 4lbs make you feel any different...I mean, could you feel it? (Like bloating etc)....just curious as I am now only 1lb from goal, unless I drop my goal yet again, which if I do my wife will kill me deader then a rock... haha!
Well..off to work...have a great day gang!

You are missed every day!

Good luck on the job Jake. The 4lbs didn't really make me feel different, until I put on those new jeans I got a while back. I was totally shocked when I was able to buy a pair of size 29" jeans. But, those 4 lbs make me feel like my belly is hanging over them a little. I can still button and zip them up, so I guess it isn't as bad as it could be. I've slowly been getting those 4lbs off. But, during the holidays, and my families cooking, it will be a tough one. I just keep telling myself, "Just have a taste, that's it" I can do this, as can each of us. We've done too much work to blow it now.

My partner had his weigh in today. The coach was shocked that he lost 4lbs this week, with Christmas parties going on. He's doing a great job.

Missed weigh in last week, cause I was outta town but weighed in today and down 7 # and 2.5 inches! Also made it through my last Xmas supper without cheating !

Hello all...

New to IP for 6 weeks now... Down 25lbs...feeling good..actually found some jeans on the left side of my closet that I haven't worn in over two years..and they fit!!

Merry Christmas Friends.

I'm enjoying all the nice Christmas wishes on here, and seeing new folks also.

I'm sitting here, just finished my RTD Chocolate Drink for breakfast and will be bringing a RTD Mango for lunch. I am still only up 3 lbs from my goal. So, I believe that is pretty good, keeping it that close since the beginning of November.

Just wish I had taken the day off today. Two days out of town, crazy family, two hour drive back home, with my sister and her black german shepherd dog and my poor partner in the back seat with the dog. Went to bed around 11:00pm last night. I'm gonna pass out today after work.

Any way, hope everyone had a great Christmas and was good to themselves.

JD (If some of this doesn't make too much sense, sorry, I just wok up)

My wife just went to work. I'm off for the week. Man the house is a mess so I will be cleaning today!

Jack and I pushed the desert cart when we volunteered to help with dinner yesterday at church. He had two cupcakes. I didn't have a crumb. It was a good NSV. I didn't have and stuffing, gravy or mashed potatoes either which was more of an NSV!
