Well, these last pounds are giving me a hard time. But now I am back to were I started. Trying to lose weight in December seems strange in my mind but I will give it what I've got.
Yunalee, congrats on your steady loss.
Michael, as always such an inspiration.
Mike, besides Spamcakes and Spamburgers what else did you have in your diet?

36 Days Left!
So, guys and gals, 36 days left in '11 and this particular challenge. Time's getting short, but let's all remember that whether we make our goal or not that it's the effort that counts.
Personally, I'm not sure I'll see 179 by 01/01. My 188.5 check in a couple of weeks ago was, I think, a bit low. I must have been wicked dehydrated or something as I had a fairly big bounce up. Now, I expect that as it's how I seem to lose these days. A dip down, and bounce up, and so on but with a downward trend overall.
Was at 189 this morning, and given the calorie level I've had for this holiday week, that's not bad. I plan on seeing a nice loss by the end of next week. 10 pounds off in five weeks is certainly doable, but at my weight I don't think it will happen with a 2K calorie average! Now if I can keep to 1500 or so, that would probably work. We'll see!
Anyweigh, stay the course, be safe and we'll see the New Year in a little lighter!
Regards,
Michael

A nice loss this morning. Really amazing how my weight can fluctuate but as long as the trend is eventually downward I guess it's OK. So, 185.5 today. Just might see the 170's by New Years.

I want to be in 170's too by new year so I'm trying to get there by the 23rd of december as thats when my drinks and meals with friends and family starts. Then I just hope I have 3 care free days then back into it for new years, one more blow out and hopefully I'll still be in the 170's to start 2012.
Having a good week so far but alot of my weight loss last week was from a bug In had friday night/ saturday so I'm being harsh on my diet this week.

Unless something crazy happens, I won't reach my goal by January 1st, but that's okay because 10% loss is getting to be a bit fast for me for three months anyway, I think. I weighed in this morning down 6 lbs since we started the challenge, and I was stuck at a wee plateau for about three weeks a bit ago. All in all, I'm alright with my progress. You all look like many of you are doing well, too - congratulations!
