    GW: 211
    LTGW: 150-160

    Week 1 (Nov 8, 2013): Lost 3 pounds this week, now at 219.
    Week 2 (Nov 15, 2013): Lost 2 tis week, not at 217
    Week 3 (Nov 22, 2013): Down to 214 (-3)
    Week 4 (Nov 29, 2013): Up to 215 (+1)...boo hoo, but a good lesson learned. That said, I still have a couple of days left in this month and I hope to drop the pound :-)

    11/14=226 (-0)
    11/21=226 (-0)
    11/28=226 (-0)
    So not the greatest month for me... But considering that I had my Anniversary and Thanksgiving in the same month I'm not surprised. At least I did'nt gain weight :embarassed: Time to kick it into high gear for next month :devil: The whole team did a fantastic job! You all rock :glasses:
  • I missed this due to being away from home but I will weigh in Sunday! Everyone is doing super!

    Weigh-ins:

    Week 1: 11/07/13 = 311.4 (- 0.7)

    Week 2: 11/14/13 = 310.9 (-0.5) After the scale debacle, you have no idea how happy I am with this "1/2 lb" loss

    Week 3: 11/21/13 = 312.4 (+1.5) Two weeks of travel, funeral and all. I know part is just water the rest will come off again. I may not make my goal this month again, but it will be what it will be. And go from there!

    Week 4: 11/28/13 = (Happy Thanksgiving everyone in the US!)

    Week 5: 11/30/13 =310.7

    Total loss for the month: 1.4 lbs. not close to my goal, but a loss for the month seemed remote just three days ago.

    I will take this and run. Squeaked under my goal. My eating has only got organized in the last 3 days. When the weather changed... so did my impetus. This has been a bit of a struggle. :)

    Paula - Nice Month, and a great finish to it!

    Emmerin - December's Challenge is posted. We can both do better this month, right??!!!

    Jess - It is a loss. If you only lose 2.5 lbs per month for a year, you are still 30 lbs down, and that is still worthwhile. I know it is hard to accept these "small" losses, I've quit in frustration so many times in my life then ended up horrified that I was up another 30 (or worse) at the end of a year. I think you are doing very well with everything you have going on. Keep the chin up and carry on! See you in the December Challenge? I do hope so!

    Pixy - Great Month! If you run with that loss, the next great loss is just around the corner. (Running--shudder!):flowerforyou:

    SW 360.2 08/16/2013
    CSW 301.2 11/01/2013
    STGW 287 by the end of November.
    LTGW 180

    11/01 Starting Weight = 301.2
    11/08 week 01 = 304.4
    11/15 week 02 = 301.4
    11/22 week 03 = 300.0
    12/01 week 04 = 297.4
    12/01 Ending Weight = 297.4<<CGW 287>>

    Ok so 3.8 pounds this month. I will take it.
    It has been hard not going outside to walk. I did go to the gym to walk once last week so will have to keep that up.
    That is when I see the biggest losses. Didn't help much with my b-day being right before Thanksgiving and then of course Thanksgiving too. So with all that happening in the last week of November and losing 2.6 pounds I think it is a win. ;-)

    Edit: forgot to change my age ;-)

    I've tallied the numbers for November. However we have a number of folks who haven't posted. I'll hold off until Sunday night to close out.

    If you know any of these folks, drop them a line and check on them! If they want to post weight here, great, if they don't, that's OK too. Just make sure they know they have been missed!

    And I don't have a close out weight from Iquiltoo or Holly. Holly, you had a rough weekend. Do you want to check in, or let it ride with your pre-shopping WI? Message me if you don't wish to reply (and that goes for anyone!)

    Thanks everyone!

    Final Close-out shows we had some Holiday slowdown. Amount lost by group as of all final postings:

    96.8 lbs.

    Let's see how the December Holidays hit us. Hang tight everyone and let's give ourselves the gift of a great loss this month!
