  • Oh boy- I'm not doing well. I am re-starting everything today. I could blame my gain on Canadian Thanksgiving, two birthdays (and two birthday cakes) in one week, being away from home and lots of homemade baking at my IL's, but the problem is my lack of self-control.
    I'm changing my goals from trying to find the motivation to lose weight to making a commitment to lose weight.

  • Back up to 199.5 this week, ugh...not my week. Working towards a loss for next week!
  • Go, aniela26! It seems like a time of year for some struggle on this. Good for you for working toward that loss! You can do it -- and show the rest of us how!
  • Quote: I can't believe it's already October. I would like to hit 145.0 this month! My weigh-ins will be on Sunday.

    Calling it GOAL! Today was my official weigh-in and I was 144.8, beating my 145 goal by .2 pounds!

    How is everyone else doing this month?
  • Not so hot this week, still at 199.5. No chance at goal this month, still working towards next month!
  • Yay, MelodyLeigh! Great job on getting to your goal. Who else met their goal this month?

    I'm with aniela26, I didn't meet my goal this month, but I set myself up well to do better next month, so I'm happy.

  • 141 today. 1 pound shy of goal :-(

    But I'm still proud of myself. My mother-in-law came down and showered us with some good home cooking for a week which resulted in a 4 pound gain for me, but I'm back on track and ready to hit November hard!
