December Weight Loss Encouragement

[L.Jane]

I fell off the wagon so hard I have bruises. Going home and taste testing and eating and eating and no working out... Well I did the first couple of days and then... it ended. I plan to get back on the treadmill Monday. I will I will I will... Definitely gained back five or more pounds while home whoops. If I get my tuchas back on the treadmill and be good about what I eat, I am pretty sure I can get rid of it again... I just need to DO it.

I am excited because my mom bought herself a treadmill and it should arrive this coming week. Now, I won't have any excuses for not excercising at least a little.

We don't have cable but the gym does....that tends to help my motivation slightly.

I'm 1 pound away from my goal weight (at ww) but its such a tough time of year... its so hard because I am SO close but there are so many holiday treats around. Gonna try and get back on the wagon tomorrow... I want to get to that goal weight so I can stop paying for my ww membership!

Wow, congratulations on being so close! Lets just say December has not been a good month for me.

Wow, congratulations on being so close! Lets just say December has not been a good month for me.

Thanks, but I really only had about 10 pounds to lose this time around.... I lost about 15 a year ago, bought new pants, and then put 5 pounds on at Christmas, and another 5 pounds on after moving, and with carrying my weight in my legs and butt it meant that I couldn't fit into my pants!

I'd potentially like to lose another 5, but last time I gained when I got to this weight because I got frustrated when my weight plateaued... so I am thinking that is maybe my body tellimg me this range is a healthy range for me.

ETA: Just weighed in today and now I am .4 pounds away.... I'm hoping being so close will help me not be SO bad this weekend!

If I was 0.4 pounds away I'd do laxatives and diuretics just to make weight! So not the healthy or right way, but I wouldn't be able to resist!

I'm excited, the treadmill arrived today and it is almost assembled. We finally had enough of the kids helping and gave up for the night.

[MarissaNicole]

Much to my shock I weighed in today and have met my goal weight! (It's a Christmas miracle!) Ha ha! Six weeks on maintenance and I become a "lifetime member" of WW and I don't have to pay anymore! I wouldn't mind to lose another 5, but for now I am going to focus on staying at this weight and making sure I have made permanent healthier eating habits!

Congrats, Marissa, that is awesome!

Hmm...I'm hoping I not there for too long, but I am a 12...and I like your style Lily

In other news, I have shin splints And instead of resting until the pain went away completely, I listened to my darn husband and went running today, redoing all the damage.

I'm a 14! I can wear summer stuff 10 months a year.

[Vanquisher]

Yeah, I could do that.
