I'm not that hopeful that I'll lose a kilogram in January, given that I lost weight in December. But I know that the best way to maintain December's loss is to attempt to lose more in January. So, here we go!

January goal: -1 kg, Weigh 20x

01: 85.85 kg, 1/20x
03: 85.6 kg, 2/20x

Hello again and congrats to all who lost in December, and that does NOT include me. My starting weight in December was 233. I went down to a few pounds then something happened that I shot back up to 239, a 6 lb gain!

My weight has been all over the place yet I have been restricting my diet so as to lose more than a pound per week. I have no explanation for that, but I am still trying to lose and must do so. Though I weighed 236 at the beginning of January I am now back down to 233. I will consider this 233 as my starting weight, the same as Dec 1st was.

My goal this month is really to just come out a few lbs less however I will state a goal of 4 lbs loss for this month anyway.

Good luck all of you, welcome to the newcomers and thanks for starting this up again Joy

BFR

Very nice Churchill quotes Camster, thanks
