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!
Great 1 lb loss. Good plan to get some exercise in today. I am sure it will help with your loss. Determination is the key.0 -

Basically I am a terrible maintainer so I have tohave a weight loss goal always.
Current weight. 151
Goal weight by 12/24. 145
Totally agree. But at least now we are trying to lose it before instead of after which used to never happen for me. That is how I got up to 162 lbs on my 5'2" frame!!!!!0 -
Great point. Usually I spend 6-8 months after New Years trying to lose the weight I gained from Oct to Jan. That has gotten really old, and less successful. Was at 128 today and would love to see 125 by Thanksgiving. But, I don't want to be hungry and miserable so am trying, trying, trying to be patient.vicky1947mfp wrote: »happymom221 wrote: »I met my first goal but want to lose 5 pounds before holidays and a big vacation over Christmas.

Stayed right around my maintenance cals yesterday. Went to taco buffet and had wine and dessert. I hope this gain is sodium related and comes off soon!!
Will have to be good all weekend!! No wine for me.
Good luck everyone.

It does keep me accountable. I was accountable last night for my glass of wine and a dessert after dinner. I ate it and I owned up to it. I stayed at calorie goal for yesterday but was still up a little today. But I am still going to be honest with myself when I log. If I am not, we all know things can go south in a hurry.0 -

I agree 100%. When I stop logging everything falls apart. But I quit logging because it means for me that I'm giving up for now.
I've been doing well this week but today was hard. So far I'm still on track though.
CW 125 (I think that number is a little high because it was right after a three day binge.0 -
Went up 1.2 pounds this week. Skipped spinning class and had a few extra sweets. All accounted for but realized I like to snack a lot. I also need to increase exercise. I will not give up. Let's do this everyone! Let's finish this year out strong!!0

I'm on my last 8lbs. V frustrating week as worked my butt off with no movement on the scales. It's so disheartening isn't it?0

I don't know what is up, but three weeks ago I weighed in at 132.4, and then the following week suddenly I am up 1.5 pounds (no binging, no high sodium I don't think) and it has taken me until today to get back to 132.8- logging and exercising. Not sure why I gained that week and at first I thought it was just water, but when the next week I am only down .5 pound and then .5 pound the next week- it's like really? How? How did I gain 1.5 in one week when I was following my daily plan and counting, logging and weighing? I was really hoping to make it to my goal by Thanksgiving, and now I am thinking maybe not until after the new year.0
