      I didn't do as well as I had hoped. Received some unfortunate news and turned to my Peanut M&M's. Still kept track and got it under control. Will push myself hard this week and hopefully lose that extra half a pound. My goal next week is to be at 130.

      Total weight loss: .4

      I am in. I've been yo-yo-ing all month between 175-180, so time to get focused and drop these pounds. I want to be below 170 by December 1.
