good morning

hope everybody had a lovely Thanksgiving!
I'm good! It's gotten crazy cold over here - I was pretty proud I went outside and ran despite of it. I wore like 15 layers of clothing, so it was fine.
One more week till my big exam, and at the moment actually have a good feeling about it. Woohoo!

Jacqui_D Awesome you started Thanksgiving day at 177! Well done!

gardenerjoy thanks for putting up the new thread! I'm in

It's Friday! Have a good day!

Well I certainly wasn't expecting a drop today and to meet goal!!! CRAZY. I am really glad though, because I tried super hard, no appetizers, no drinks, and half a small plate of food at both parties. Had to have the pumpkin pie though I guess its my end of the month whoosh I seem to get.

Thanks joy for doing this thread and December's! I'll head over there after my weigh in tomorrow.

No satisfied smugness, but it's not a good look on me anyway. I'm satisfied with a tiny gain and very happy that I followed my plan. Even though I'm back at my starting weight, I'm actually hopeful that I might still make my goal. I have no idea how much salt was in the food yesterday and I know I didn't drink as much water as usual.

Good morning everyone!!! Hope you all had great thanksgivings! Mine was good. I didn't stay as OP as I planned but I did far and away better than I have in the past so I am calling it a win for now.
