So I didn't quite make my goal (low was = 140; goal was 139) but I'll take it and keep on moving.

October high = 146
October low = 140

November Goal = 139

Let's do this!!!!!

That always reminds me of race cars at the starting gate - love it! We both went up less than a pound, so that's not too shabby at all, considering high eating season has started. Onwards and downwards! :high:

Hope it's appropriate to say congrats in advance on nuptials? :hug:

Thanks! I have another appointment today to try some on locally. I had to make one of those dress polls on a wedding website cause I am struggling with too many dress choices. My fiance is no help either, he says he doesn't want to know and will like whatever I pick.

Sept. finish, unofficial weigh-in, Sunday, September 27: 108.3

Oct. goal - hopefully something below 107.35 (lowest unofficial weigh-in for September).

10/1/15: - 109.1
10/2 - 109.3
10/3 - 107.8 (finished cals early yesterday, to try & get a better weigh-in today. It worked! )

10/4: Unofficial weigh-in - 107.6

10/5: 109.2
10/6: 109.7
10/7: 109.6
10/8: 109.4
10/9: 108.6
10/10: 109.0

Unofficial weigh-in, Sunday, October 11: 107.5

10/12: 109.6
10/13: 109.6
10/14: 109.6
10/16: 109.6
10/17: 108.8 - mowing really helped! Hope to get some serious house washing done today...

10/18 - Unofficial weigh-in: 107.4

10/19: 108.6
10/20: 112.2
10/21: 111.6
10/22: 111
10/23: 111
10/24: 109.8

10/25: 108.8 - doesn't even make it to "unofficial" status, as it went up.

10/26: 110.6
10/27: 109.6
10/28: 109.2
10/29: 108.2
10/30: 108.2

Unofficial weigh-in, 10/31: 108.6. Gained .3 pounds from last month.

Will be changing approach going forward. Will still get 1200 calories a day, but won't add over 200 calories of "free" foods to that, just 40 for frozen blueberries. Formerly "free" foods will be included in the calorie count. Hopefully, that will change the calorie count enough to make weight loss easier.

I can do the hunger part, but i guess I was just trying to see what I could get away with! In contradiction to what Fran says on The Nanny, the body DOES know! :lol:
