    Is everyone boycotting this week?!!?!?!?

    I'm not boycotting, just nervous to step on the scale. It's TOM for me, and I'm afraid of water retention...and of Thanksgiving coming up. I have been trying to exercise as much as my schedule allows for, but still.... I'll probably get on the scale later today just to see how I'm doing.

    Hope everyone is having a good week and not stressing too much about Thanksgiving.

    Don't stress for Thanksgiving! Just get up and do a workout in the am, and get a nice walk after dinner! Kick it up a notch on Friday. Some of us-including myself-may not reach our goals by Tuesday next week. Don't give up! I am kicking it into December!

    Well the scale hasn't budged. I don't like it but I'm not going to let it get me down.

    Thinking I have to re-adjust my goal for end of month, maybe 233 is more realistic.. Did get on scales and down 2 lbs. (235) Yeah! :happy: Planning a love fest with my exercise bike the next few days (schedule permitting). :laugh: Work has been stressful, flipping shifts....my poor body doesn't know if is day or night.

    Mae: don't change your goal to something you think is more realistic. The point of the challenges is to push yourself, and I know you can do it! I know it's hard with switching shifts, but focus on the goals, and know we're here if you need support.

    Margie!!!! GREAT JOB!

    Jackie-you will get over that plateau shortly!

    Mae-great job on the loss! I do agree fully w/ Jess about not changing the goal-just work harder. I might not make by goal by 11/30, but I am not going to give up!

    I am still healing from the marathon. I tried to run on Monday-that was a quick 2.25 and my body was not feeling great-so I took yesterday off from all exercising. Today-I got up and did Insanity. I wanted to run a 5k tomorrow-but recovery is taking forever! I will most likely to Insanity in the am and take a walk with the whole family after dinner:drinker:

    Weighing in at 169 as of just now. I'm just excited to have lost any weight this week with TOM, Thanksgiving, and feeling sick. Feeling pretty good right now :)

    How did everyone else do this week?

    I was hoping for under 50min. I made it aroung 48/49, the little timing chips weren't working, so I don't know for sure :( But I made my goal! :)
    I weighed in at 218.2 yesterday. We won't discuss what the scale said this morning.. hahahaha
    Good job lossing weight this week Jess :) Hopefully I'll show a loss over all for my weigh in Monday :)

    Congrats on exceeding your goal time for the run yesterday. That's great.

    And I'm sure the scale will be more agreeable on Monday after you've had time to recover from the run and Thanksgiving.

    Checking in at 145lbs, 18lbs over my goal weight. So now I'm going to try and drop 10 lbs before the new year. That's 5 weeks. Pray for me.
