Thanks @walkonby you are doing well too. One thing I noticed my butt is firmer lol. ;)
The challenge is an advent challenge. They draw a new ddp workout every day Dec 1st till the 24th. You don't have to do the exact workout but as long as you do something. :)
for you it is the butt for me it is my smoother sort of flatter tummy area !! We are both a work in progress!!
;)
I notice my arms, tummy, and butt lol.
Yesterday I was on a high like no other! Nope not from legalized MJ...but from my 2 week weigh in at the Clinic!
I dropped a whopping 6.5 lbs in this last 2 weeks.
This brings my tally to ( little drum roll please? ) https://media.giphy.com/media/I7fKPYnDpucdG/giphy.gif
ahem...thanks... 27.5 lbs melted away since Oct 27th.
o.k. so this morning I came back down to earth and accept that it is still a drop in the bucket compared to what I still have to lose BUT.......sure gives ya hope!!
I spent 40min exercising in my living room this afternoon while the kids were napping. I知 working on it. After the other kids were done school, I took them out for a sled ride. We don稚 have a lot of snow, but there was enough in the back alley. We were out there for 30min. The combined weight of the 3 kids in the sled was 101lbs. Ds took a turn pulling our twins in the sled, 60lbs. It was fun. The first time this winter.
edit: I知 happy to say that I知 not sore from yesterday.
Catcher position from the ddp yoga. :)
Today I exercised for 30 minutes while my kids napped. Then I pulled them on the sled for 40min. 133lbs until my last daycare kid got picked up, then 101lbs with just my own children. I may have overdid it some today, but I値l wait to see if I am sore tomorrow morning.
^^ ha ha ...oh wow! That really IS a workout @Angela273
I have a feeling your bottom half will be feeling the burn from that. Its a good burn though.
I知 happy to say that I知 not really sore today, just a tad tender and tired. I値l still try to put a show on tv this afternoon while I workout again. I plan on taking the kids outside to play in the yard this morning. Most of our forecast is for melting over the next week.Quote:

Happy almost Christmas everyone!
I had a very uplifting weigh in at the 8 week mark of my diet. To date I have lost 35.5 pounds!!
It was actually 1.5 less than that on Sat. at the Clinic but this mornings scale rewarded me with another 1.5 lost!
How is that for a Christmas gift?
I am staying on track, planning around every possible pitfall that comes my way....Like eating out, baking at home, festive aromas driving me nutso! but the results I am seeing have encouraged me to forge ahead!
Once the New year comes I think it will get easier for me....lets hope!
Post Christmas check in......not as bad as it could have been!
Did not really gain or lose since Christmas Eve....sort of in a holding pattern atm.
I am very much back on track again with the regime, and almost back to being able to totally ignore the cries from all the sweets in the back room and the carbs in the fridge. Stay quiet you temptations!!
An uplifting update: :cheer2: :headbang:
Getting the same number on your scale every day for 8 days straight can get to ya.
Admittedly I ate " a few " things on Christmas Eve AND on Christmas day that were not on the good list ( :hahaha:I am speaking to you breaded shrimp appy's and pumpkin cheesecake! )
Today on Day 9 the number finally changed and it was 2.5 lbs lower!
Since starting all of this on Oct 27th I have now dropped 36.5 lbs.
Just trying to get through 2018 and past any New Years eating and it should be smooth sailing for 2019!!
For anyone starting a new weight loss adventure on Jan 2nd....I'll be here to support you!!
ain't this guy a cutie????

@walkonby stick with it you are doing great. :)
I was stuck on 285lbs for literally 6 weeks. I finally broke through and hit 279lbs. I ate a ton at Christmas and when I weighed myself I was still at 279 which was great lol.
So 2019 here we come. Hope everyone has a good new year ahead. :)
oh wow @cabmonk !! Six weeks? You have terrific resolve to have stayed the course. Thank goodness you started showing losses again. Oh the calm and quiet of Jan 1st. You could hear a pin drop here both inside and out.
