Checking in for my last weigh in for the challenge. It has been a big challenge with Christmas and sweets being involved during December. I had a hard time staying away from the pecan pie, lol. I did have some left in the fridge, so I chunked it last night. I am at 160.8, so total loss for the month of December is 3.6 pds. Stupid pecan pie, why do you have to taste so freaking good!! LOL

Weighing in a day early. Also leaving on va-k tomorrow. Final weigh-in of 288. 2 lbs this week. Not quite my lofty goal for the New Year, but I'll take it.

Happy and healthy New Year to all!

Jenn S checking in for the month. I am at 216 so that is 8lbs for the month and I met my goal! Barely but I made it! I am doing much better on my son's crackers and I logged about 780 minutes of exercise. Christmas was kept on budget mostly by necessity because they cut my husbands hours at work. My total weight loss is at 38lbs. I hope everyone else does well and bring on the new year!

OK Today is final judjment day! I think I did pretty darned good for this challenge especially considering we had the holidays to contend with. I made my weight goal with an extra bonus pound. I weighed in this morning at 177! Yeah me! I did take in more Protein and I think I am ready for my ski trip. The hair thing still doesnt seem to be under control but I am not sure what else to do about it.

I would like to give a big thanks to Larry for keeping the spreadsheet up for the challenge. I enjoyed looking at it each week to see how everyone was doing. I am looking forward to starting the New Year off with continued success and hope to reach my final weight loss goal byend of May. I want to drop 37 more pounds so that should be doable,

Happy New Year Everyone!

Weighed in this morning at 240 for a total loss of 3 pounds for the month. This is my lowest loss since I was banded almost a year ago. Looks like I am going to have to start working harder.

Joan is taking a break since she had her band removed and we wish her luck in the coming year and I hope that she checks in with us every now and then.

I will try to get the final results of the Holiday Challenge up this weekend.Next months challenge will be the

2012 Auld Lang Syne Challenge

Hope everyone has a happy and enjoyable New Year.
