    Good luck. Sounds like we are close in goals. You can do this. Just stick with your 1200 cals for the next three weeks and get in some serious exercise and it will happen. I am determined to weigh 119 by Thanksgiving. So there will have to be some sacrifice to do it. Don't like giving up my wine but it has to be done. [/quote]

    Vicky1947mfp Ya, super close. It will be fun to see how we both do. I think I will post weight daily, oooooh might keep me more motivated. And btw, giving up wine..... Crazy talk I say

    Giving up wine is the worst! I planned for last night and was in calorie deficit for several days ahead of time, so I don't feel too bad!

    If I have wine, that is how I do it. I usually try to save 100 cals each weekday for wine on weekends. But only had one glass Friday evening so I can get these last few lbs OFF. And so I can have wine over Thanksgiving at my son's house.

    Sounds like me. Did too much good cooking and enjoy my wine or drink on my days off of work. But today is here.

    July 4, 2015 weight 220 pounds, goal 195 (interum goal- ultimate goal 190)
    November 1, 2015 weight 195 Interum goal met. Yea!!
    Lowered weight loss plan from 1 pound a week to one half pound a week. Got a daily calorie intake boost of 170 (big whoop). Figure that slowing anticipated weight loss inches me into maintenance which should be in about another 2 months.

    Got new suits. First time waist has been below 40 inches (now 38) in about a decade. Getting old suits altered to accomdate the new waist size.

    60 5"10" and still kicking, planking, lifting and generally moving more.

    You can do it! I've lost focus this week too. No more Halloween candy or junk for me. Tomorrow is a new day!

    Also, I'm having a hard time getting motivated to work out. I usually love it but I've had a crazy work week and come home late and exhausted. Any tips?

    I had my husband hide the Halloween candy after I ate way too much of it for 4 days. Weight is still 129, but would have been lower. (No, don't go looking for it!).

    Yep, for all of us, Halloween is over, get that candy out of the house!!

    I woke up to 130 on the scale that is one pound down and the lowest I have been in probably 5 years. Super excited. When that second digit is a 2 I will do a happy dance in the bathroom!

    Vicky....you are rocking this!! You are making continued progress, you should be so proud and feeling great!

    I have also not exercised in a few days. 13 hour work days are rough. I am off today though and plan on a long sweat session.

    Keep up the good work, we are all SO close!

    My deal with myself is that all I am required to do is suit up and put on my running shoes. If I start running and want to turn around, I can. So far (in 20 years) I have only turned around when the weather was just awful or I felt ill--maybe four times total. But the deal still stands!
