Lost a total of 40lbs this year.
Awesome!
I've gained 3-4 pounds in a year, most of it in the last 5 weeks. I've been having horrible PMS with an insane appetite for over a year now, but I usually make up for it the 2 weeks after my period because I'm not very hungry then, but this time Thanksgiving, a wedding, and Christmas, all fell during those weeks when I'm usually not very hungry, so I basically gained extra weight instead of losing it as I usually do.
But moving forward... no more special event for a LONG time so hopefully I can lose that weight. But PMS sucks and I need to find a doctor that takes me seriously (no sorry, it's not normal to be starving for almost 2 weeks and have to eat 3000 calories to be satisfied). So it's been a very frustrating and stressful year when it comes to my weight!
My workouts have gone much better now though... I burn 50% more calories on the bike in the same time, can go longer, and I'm up to 13.5% incline on the treadmill (for one hour, 3.3 mph). And I started rowing and I'm improving there too. Still hate weights sadly and the kids managed to somehow break one of my dumbbells, which isn't helping, but I've been doing it at the gym.
So... stall in weight (my measurements haven't changed though!), but I'm fitter and stronger, with more endurance, so for that it was still a good year... For next year I'd love to finally reach my goal weight but unless PMS changes, I don't see that happening, but otherwise I'd like to be able to consistently go at 15% incline on the treadmill, so that's going to take a while to get there...
