    The important thing to remember everyone is that this is a long challenge. We still have 10 1/2 weeks left. We aren't doing this over night. This challenge is getting us through the holidays.

    We will ALL see up and downs. Some bigger than others. The key is to get back on track and keep working at it. We didn't get to a point where we needed to fight so hard over night.

    The holidays pose challenges for all of us. Candy, family get togethers, baking...you name it...the temptation will be there. And we have a humongous group here to get us through it!!!

    Let's remember that each Monday is a new week. We step on the scale and weigh ourselves...and then we start a new week. WE'VE GOT THIS!

    We are going to rock this challenge. I am confident that I can do this thanks to each and every one of you!!!

    Not good week for me!! :-(
    I gain 0.4 pounds.
    I kept my eating calories under and went to gym three times. One night we were invited to a friends house, where I went after job without having dinner or evening snack and ate pizza. But I still kept the calories until the maintaining border.
    And my endocrinologist still doesn't believe that I am on diet soooo many months and I've lost only 9 pounds....

    Are you watching your sugar, fat, carbs and calories? Most people don't like to monitor their sugar, but it is so important! Also, don't eat after 7 pm. That was the hardest thing for me to get used to.

    No, I don't eat much sugar either fat! I watch carbs too . The main problem is that I eat most of my calories after 7 pm! But I don't think this is a problem because I go to gym late (about 8-11pm) and I sleep about 3 am!!!
    I feel that I'm on a forever plateau!

    Well this week went nothing as planned. I got almost no appointed exercise in. My steps per day were totally inconsistent...970 one day, 11784 on another. I realized by midweek i was guessing portions again (bad habit) which we all know where tbat goes, lol. I gIned for sure, but I have learned this week to stay the course and keep an open eye to my old habits. I think I am going to join the new step challenge as well to get that consistency under wraps.
    Hope you guys had a great week & here's to kicking booty next week!!

    P.s. personal challenge for this week....measure,measure,measure for portion control
