Merry Christmas to Yourself Challenge (Page 18)

I have good news and bad news . . . 

My target goal for this challenge was to weigh 220 lbs on December 22nd.  The good news is that I achieved my goal back on November 25th when I weighed in at 219.8 lbs!  The bad news is that I then proceeded to slack off big time.  Now as of this morning, I weighed in at 229.5 lbs!

In short, I need to lose 9.5 pounds in 15 days to reach my goal.  I'm gonna to do it!

Last Week (12/1): 296.8 

Current: 295.2

I'm not going to make my goal, but atleast I haven't gained a bunch through the holidays. That is a pretty good goal in itself Thanks for the challenge it has helped keep me focused. Congrats to everyone for not saying "to heck with it" during the holidays!

I'm beginning to realize that in order to maintain, I'm going to have to be constantly aware of how many calories I'm consuming.  Hang tough, everybody...we can handle the holidays!

Last week 190.5

Same this week.  No change.  I am still hoping to get those last 2.5 pounds, but I won't beat myself up too much if I simply maintain.

Had a huge buffet covered dish lunch at work yesterday.  I only had a sliver of cheesecake and then my daughter's birthday was last night.  Even though I made the cake, I didn't have any.  I figured that the cheese cake was more than enough indulgence for the day.  Honestly, I didn't even want any cake, so that's a good thing.

 Just an update:  I weighed in this morning at 222 lbs!  Two pounds away from my goal.

Sorry I missed Monday's weigh-in.  It's been a hellishly bad couple of weeks at work. 

I'm at 212... right direction, but far from where I want to be. The situation at work has pretty much cut my workouts down to almost nothing.

Ahh, well. I'll keep on keepin' on.

I think we've all been there Dave. I know I have...

I am steady at 286lbs. Just can't seem to get past it.

Some good news this week is I have changed some medication I have been taking which has been causing some muscle soreness and fatigue, so hopefully those symptoms will abate and I will be able to longer and harder and really get some weight off!

Nice job and good attitude...maybe another pound will come off this next week?!

12/15 216 - Very rough week.  2 all nighters at work, so I had keep-awake food.  I definitely had a case of boredom eating.

Last Week (12/8): 295.2 

Current: 292.2

But to be fair, I had a violent flu where I lost about 8 pounds of water weight in about 16 hours and am putting weight back on at the moment.
