My new scale said 171.6 today which would make it a little over 10 pounds lost for the month, but I think it's a pound off from my old scale. I feel like a bit of a cheater! Regardless, the month turned out better than I expected.

Good job, everyone!

Well my month was disappointing for sure, but at least I know why and have new understanding of my pitfalls. I am starting to wonder whether I should join the ranks of the monthly weighers (is that a word?) lol. I really got derailed by a spike of 6 pounds mid month, and despite the fact that I KNEW it was nothing I'd done.. when it didn't disappear within a few days, I started cheating and having off-plan days. Nothing horrible, just not a lot of great days either. And I let the exercise slide. I think if I hadn't weighed myself daily, I would have just assumed that things were steaming along nicely and my motivation would have continued. So... I've just decided then. I weighed in this morning, and I'm going to try an experiment and not weight myself now until Christmas morning ( I joined a christmas challenge on the chicks in control page). Let's see what a difference it makes to not have to deal with the daily fluctuations (which clearly can be HUGE for me!).

So 3 pounds less than I was a month ago - still something to cheer about! ;)

I did it! The water weight left me from TTOM and I'm back down to 174.0. Which is where I was over a week ago! Yay! First time I managed to do a 10 pound loss in a month. But it was only because I was holding water for last month's TTOM on November 1st.

November 1st - 184.0
December 1st - 174.0

WTG bbb!! I came to check just on you, lol. I'm glad you are back down. That's great!!

And where's the December thread!? :lol: I'm going to look! :D

Congrats Berryblondeboys, Steph7409, Kirsteng and everyone else on the weight loss!

congrats to everyone who hit their goals!

I should have joined this challenge. By some miracle I lost 9 pounds this month! I've only had one month better than that!

Almost made it:
November 1: 182
December 1: 174

Congrats to all who made it! Here's to all of us making it in January!!!

I made it!! So happy. It was a rough month for me and I'm so glad I got back on track. It also marks my -50 lb mark.

I made the December thread last night. Hope to see you all there!

You all did so wonderful!!!! Even those who lost less than 10lb. I wouldn't consider that a disappointment, but a victory!

I didn't lose anything this month, but I'm ready for December!
