    Kelijpa, I have no doubt you'll get back to the 150's!

    Wow Turtle! You are on fire! Way to hang in there through the frustration of the beginning of the month for the reward at the end!

    Boatingmommy, not gaining in December for the first time in years is a major accomplishment! Good for you!

    Sum, you're on your way back down!

    Pixikat, yay on getting the 7! And you are on your way to the whole number! I'm sure the bump up is just a little water that your body is holding to repair those sore muscles! It will be back off in no time!

    Lyn, great job passing by the store! Good for you!

    183, I'm sorry you have a hangover headache, but I'm glad you had fun, and yay on the big drop on the scale!
  • Holy Cow, can't believe I met goal this month. I hope I can keep it off for the next couple days

  • Congrats Jacqui and Turtle!

    WTG with the run PixiKat, my neck bothers me sometimes after a run, I think it 's from tensing up as well, sometimes planks get me, too...

    Getting ready for next month's challenge, DH and I are going after that last 15 with a goal of about 1 pound a week.

    Best to all
  • yesterday's weigh-in: 79,3kg (174.8lbs)
    yesterday's calories: 1600
    yesterday's exercise: 30min stationary bike
    today's weigh-in: 79,8kg (175.8lbs)
    change: +0,5kg (+1lbs)

    good morning

    I can't wait for this month to be over and life to be more normal. I love being on break but not having a daily routine isn't good for me.
    Anyways, I really need to study today, if the weather is good still I'll go for a run. I'm going to the movies to see the Hobbit tonight? Anyone seen it? Is it any good?

    kelijpa great to read the weight is coming off quick. Woohoo!

    Sum38 nice drop

    pnkrckpixikat I'm sure the gain is from being sore. I had a gain after every crossfit session (when I was super sore).

    Jacqui_D Amazing low! Well done.

    Turtle11 congrats on making goal!!!

    have a great Sunday!
  • Wow, The Whoosh Fairy is visiting me I am cautiously optimistic that I may even meet my goal for the month; I am 0.6 pounds away from it Wow.

    Plan is to drop 4 pounds.

  • Thanks everyone for the congrats. I've been very MIA with the personals, but I do follow along. I also can't wait for next month to start and my routine to get back into place.

    Its so funny to me right now, that a lot of people I know are going to start their "new years resolution" to lose some weight. All of us have been on that plan for months !!

  • PixiKat any loss for The holiday season is a win, at WW they always told us the average gain is 7-10 pounds so consider that when looking at your numbers, you're doing great.

    Sum nice to see your hard work showing on the scale for you, WTG!

    Jacqui you are awesome and inspiring!
  • omg.....
    well I did poorly, and I haven't been on here much. 269.... well I'm going on a diet so I'm sure next month will be better.... hopefully I can get used to maintaining.... course Christmas didn't help. Will weigh in for the end of month though....

    hope you all are doing well
  • Wow - everyone has been doing so well. Nice work! I met my goal (6 times!), but my weight has been bouncing around like a yo-yo, so I'm not sure if I'll get back there...fingers-crossed.

  • Rsadler, congrats on making goal! (Multiple times, lol!)

    Pixikat, you've done amazingly this month! Your goal was to stay on plan more and you did that! Success! You, girlie, have made goal! You got through Christmas eating sensibly, lost over 3 lbs, and you still have two more days to lose! That's fantastic!

    Aw, thanks Kelijpa! It looks like you're headed for the 150's tomorrow!

    NightAngel, December is a tough month! The good news is that you get a fresh, clean slate to start over!
  • Not to shabby for Christmas week. I am down .1 pound. I will take it and run! I am fairly certain that I won't make goal this month but I am not really all that disappointed. I didn't exercise at all this month and still lost 4 pounds. Not really going to brag about that but Im ok with it. Next month I am back to the workouts and eating on plan so I will make that goal whatever it is.
