Weighing in for the end of the month at 167.3 lbs. I'll have to do some thinking today about what my goal for December will be.

Happy Last day of November....I would love to do a December thread-I NEED to! I ended up back where I was at 138.2 but I know what I did. I was 134.7 on Thankgiving morning. I did great on Thursday...then the rest of the weekend I went crazy. I think everytime I get close to my goal, I subconsiously reck it! It's like I am afraid to get there!:devil:

Here is the updated post...we have not heard from Sarah, mary, Kimberly, and Jenn.

This month was all about proving to myself how dedicated I am. I have been monitoring my calories better, and replacing foods I used to eat (e.g. Tons of pasta) with foods that have less calories and are more filling (e.g. veggies). It helps that MFP dropped my goal caloric intake so if I want something extra (or if a coworker prepares a meal and I have to re-calculate the calories in it), I have to force myself to exercise so as not to end the day going over calories. I have also committed myself to working out a lot more than I ever did before. This challenge really helped push me to step up my exercise, which is a kick in the butt I needed.

For me, it was all about counting the calories, being more concous about what I was eating, and how much I was eating, as well as getting off the couch and using my gym membership

You both did amazing! I hope the December one is better for me:)
