    Down 1 pound as well! This is the first loss I've seen in almost 3 weeks, I was so excited!! Hoping I'll lose again this week for an even 5lbs. I'm definitely seeing a difference, even if the scale isn't exactly showing it. I lost 1.5 inches from my waist since the start of October!

    Welcome to all the new people!

    And sarakendle - Tuna Helper IS delicious, lol! I rarely buy the "helper" boxes though. I buy a box of rotini, one of those alfredo dry mixes and a can of tuna, chop up whatever veggies are on sale (usually broccoli or zucchini) and make it myself. Not sure if it's cheaper or not, but it seems to add some freshness.

    197 for me. I'm happy because this weight has not fluctuated at all! It stayed 197 all weekend and that to me was HUGE! My body tends to jump up and down so seeing the same weight with no ups was fabulous. Hope it stays fabulous.

    someone shoot me...............ugh
    150 this morning. I had my IUD removed last week and I've had nothing but problems. I can't even work out. I'm in pain and bleeding like I did after child birth. I don't know what to do.

    luvbnamom, I am sorry to hear about your procedure not turning out so well... I have a torn muscle or SOMETHING, and its just getting worse, so I can't work out either...can barely walk! Sucks! Hope you get well soon!

    1.) My current weight is 168
    2.) My goal by Thanksgiving is 160
    3.) I struggle with eating healthy and passing on the snacks my fiance busts out every night at 8:00 or 9:00
    4.) I'm proud of myself for getting up at 6am every morning to go to the gym before I go to work. (5:45 on Wed. & Thurs.)
    5.) My plan is to keep on trucking and continue to try to make better food choices for myself especially on the weekends. :)

    Hi everyone! Happy T-giving Countdown: )
    1. Don't know my weight. Keeping track of inches instead: 32-27-41
    2. Goal Inches: 32-26-40
    3. I'm drinking too much wine. It's everywhere at work and social events, and it's only going to get worse as the holiday season rolls around. I don't drink anything else...just love wine. Enough that I'm considering a second career as a sommellier.
    4. As of Sunday, I now have a plan. Day 2 and so far so good!
    5. Keep a journal of everything I drink/eat in a journal (thanks MFP!) until T-giving

    Not going anywhere for t-giving, so no real danger of overeating. Need to get some work done, so will likely be there.

    Well I didn't weigh in yesterday. Went home after work and fell asleep until I got up this morning due to this cold. A nice 10 hours of sleep, didn't even eat any dinner. I will weigh in tonight.

    so i bought a new scale... my old dial one was having MAJOR issues.
    but a new scale means a different number... so i am back to190.4
    OH WELL i know i am still on track, so that is good. and it is really nice to have an accurate number instead of trying to judge between the little lines from so high up.

    Well I had today off so decided to do a 9am yoga class that I usually wouldn't be able to do it. It was really nice but kinda of boring to me.
