November/December Weight Management Challenge

113. This challenge was a failure for me. In the next two months I want to get down to 110. I don't want an aggressive goal. Mostly I just want to quit gaining weight.

105.5

Very happy as this is the lowest weight I've seen in several months and 3 lbs. less than last week's post-Mexico vacation weight. However, I came down with a cold last Sunday and thus have been a slug, so I am sure I've lost muscle, and my appetite was suppressed from being sick. I am hoping that I can keep from gaining once I start feeling 100% again -- that is usually when my appetite comes roaring back, and even though I'm more active, I eat more than enough to maintain my weight.

Though it's not weigh-in day, I just want to say that this morning I woke up to 159.2! This, psychologically, is huge for me. I haven't seen the 150s since 2007/8. It was my little secret wish to get there before New Year's. I tend to bounce up and down for a couple days before any loss holds, so even if I bounce back up a bit, it's nice to see the 150s peeking out at me. I'm really happy and motivated.

Congrats murielalax, that's fantastic! Especially this time of year when most people are gaining. Good on ya!

Happy New Year to you all - Is this thread going to continue for the next challenge period, or will a new one be starting? Whatever, I'd like to join in in order to lose the 14lbs that's crept up on me over the past year... So, starting from 147lbs, I need to get to 133lbs... I'll find any tips on keeping the balance between exercise and diet regimes very valuable. I've proved over years (and years) that I don't stick to exercise regimes in the strictess sense but have a turbo-trainer and am willing to do my wayward best on that till the weather improves ( cold high winds very off-putting ). Does anyone use cycle-training videos with turbo/roller exercising? Can you recommend anything attractive (I've got one cheap one but the landscape is so mind-bogglingly boring it seems rather pointless.)
