Everyone ready to check in today? This is the last 3 months of the year so let's see how we do. 
Drink 9 glasses of water or more. Be sure to log it in your diary. Keeps you on track. :happy:
Do something for an additional exercise this week even if it's just sweeping all your porches or your garage each day. Something you don't usually do on a regular basis. :yawn:
Do your regular exercise each day, weekends are rest days, make sure you log it. :bigsmile:
Be honest with ourselves on what we eat. Easy to forget that goodie late at night. If you eat it you can always post it the next day. Just post it.:grumble:
Don't stress if you go over your calories, remember it's a life change not a diet.:smooched:
If you think of a fun challenge put it in when you weigh in. Remember to keep it fun as some of us have physical challenges to put up with.
Good luck and healthy eating.:drinker:

How did everyone do on their water and did you all do something different for exercise as well as your regular? I hesitate to explain what I did extra. We have friends here and they have 3 dogs. So two days last week I picked up all the doggie bon bons. I have two that added to it. Worked on extra training for my dogs. Refreshing their obedience. I will be doing that this week too.
Keep going on the water. Fall is here so lots of extra yard work to be done. Try to get some extra fruit in this week in place of sweet treats. The fruit will be slowing down soon. Apples are wonderful right now.
As you can see I didn't do so well. Frustrating to say the least.
Good luck this week and happy and healthy eating. :drinker:

ETA: A friend told me the other day. "God expects you to what you can and leave the rest up to Him." Sounds like good advice to me.0 -

Don't know what I'm doing wrong. I think with thyroid problems and another med that says "may cause wright gain" grrrrrrrr, I will have to do a lower calorie day. I hope everyone is doing well. Keep it up.
Have a good rest of the week.
Healthy eating and exercising.

I KNOW!!!! I have decided not to weigh until I see my health person next week. My goal for this week is to more carefully monitor my calories, drink the water and try to up my exercise minutes. G. thanks for reminding us to be on the ball.0

No I am wth you both in spirit. This month I gained a pound andI just decided to try to be really accurate with logging in on home page. Just saying I am in a challenge that is not working for me seem another layer of frustration. If I can find the key to being stuck, I will jump on the bandwagon again. Also, this month I am so busy with various activities keeping up with logging, exercising and pals is enough of a challenge.
One good thing to report...went to a function and tried on a bunch of dressy tops. 2 that were a good fit were big enough to donate and some others that did not fit very well did ! So I count that as success.
Good luck to all. 1 -
M,
Congratulations on the success. Inches lost is a great success. Understand not wanting to have another thing to do regarding the weight. Keep up the good work. You'll make it.

163.2 today. Slowly getting back down to my all time low.0

Stepping stone. Inches lost are a major success. That is why you don't lose weight, you are gaining some muscle. Congratulations!!0

Gobunkos! Imeant 163. I don't think I ever want to be 63. HA!!0
