Elycia - I'm glad to hear that you're getting settled into the new house. AND, the 1.5 pound loss is awesome! It's it great to see progress when you're not expecting it?

Jennie - Congrats on slipping into those size 14 jeans! Yay! I'm definitely looking forward to wearing a size 14.

I hope everyone else is doing well. It seems like we're all very busy.

I'm preparing for a trip home for Thanksgiving. I haven't seen my family in almost two years, so I'm really overdue for a visit. I'm still sticking to my resolution to only eat ONE plate of food for Thanksgiving dinner.

My scale was down half a pound when I weighed in on Tuesday. I didn't bother to change my stats on the board here because it seemed silly to change everything for half a pound. Anyway, the scale told me I was at 230 this morning. However, I'm not going to change my tickers since it isn't my official weekly weigh-in.

Anyway, I'll be gone until late next week. So, I won't be talking to you all before Thanksgiving. Good luck on keeping up the willpower with all that yummy food floating around!

Wow, it looks like everyone has been busy this last week. I hope you all are well and still on track with healthy living. I just got back from a visit to my hometown and my family. I completely disregarded any sort of diet while I was there. Home cooking and southern food just doesn't go well with a diet. I didn't watch what I ate at all. The bad news? I haven't lost any weight. The good news? I didn't gain any weight. I'm happy with maintaining since I pigged out. Hopefully getting back on my diet this week will give me some results. If I want to meet my goal, then I really need to start buckling down. I have 5 weeks to lose 13 pounds. I'm not sure I can do that with my average of 1.5 to 2 pounds a week, but I'm going to try.
