    11/15 - 182.
    11/22 - 181
    11/31 - 183 (started a new workout, and coming up on TOM, ended up with an eight pound "weight gain" - but I've mostly been keeping to my calorie goals, so it looks like it's water weight. Most of it came off, but unfortunately this is the number the scale gave me for the final weigh-in.)

    Thanks for this. Looking forward to doing again with you all in December!

    I'm MOST thankful & grateful for God Healing me in May 2006 from 2 Brain Aneursyms', Paraylsis, and a stroke ( June 2008 ) I am thankful that I have gone from not being able to walk at ALL to now being able to walk without any walking aide.
    I am now able to go walking about 2 miles without stopping & I am working out on my BowFlex TreadClimber TC3000 for 12 minutes with two rest in the duration.

    I apologize that I have'nt been here to give my MFP. My online access was interupted because my cell phone will not hold a charge & my cell phone charger has a short in the wire! I've been walking ( 3 miles RT ) to the public library to get online! I have been doing great with my Food Choices & Exercises, even though I haven't been on MFP for the past few days!
    BUT I was tickled to pieces & doing a "Happy Dance" this morning when I weighed in and lost 3 lbs! I met my goal for the month of November ~5 lbs~ I knew my skin & clothes were sLOT looser! I've made smart healthy food decisions & watched my portion sizes over the Thanksgiving holiday!
