I think you're doing great HokeyPokey2! I can't wait to be your size. Heck, my goal weight is 153. I'm all excited about November and I'm still seeing the scale go down! It doesn't get much better than this!!!

Thank you, cherirana! I'm trying to keep from getting discouraged too easily. The smaller I get the slower it comes off.... But I'll keep going! Hope all is well for everyone!0

This weekend I was traveling with a friend. 19 hours of driving in 45 hours... Daughter's college soccer team won their NCAA conference1/4 final match!!! yay!
The friend I was traveling with has regained the 70 pounds she lost in 2009. Before going, she asked me to help her get refocused again. This motivated me to set an example for her. We packed our workout clothes and got up at 6:00am to workout. I made a point letting her know when I was tracking my food, and shared the apples and raw almonds that I packed. Scale this morning showed a 0.5 loss for me! Tomorrow I plan to text her and see if she went to the gym as planned.
Helping her will ultimately help me...0 -
Ditto, what Cherirana said. Closer you to goal, the slower it goes. BUT consistently watching diet will pay off in many ways. On the bright side...for me a pound seems miniscule. On you I am sure a pound or two makes a big difference. SO Keep up the great progress!!
Nliette, isn't it funny how motivating others is often the encouragement we need.
This will be my week 2 for this challenge, but just finishing an October one. So, I am working on a consistent week 5 of healthy eating habits.
It has not been easy, NOR has it been hard. Just doing it. BUT the payoff has been worth it and very motivational going into the holidays.
All of YOU have a great week 2.

Just planning as T-giving will be here before we know it.
Just read an article on MFP. Liked these comments.
"..Two rules for keeping Thanksgiving Weight Neutral: “The first rule of Thanksgiving is that it’s free. But the second is that it’s one day.” "Dedicate all your planning energy to the days leading up to and the days after Thanksgiving. Circle the big day on your calendar and start thinking about how you’re gonna get back to the kale salads on Friday. "
"Recruit co-conspirators. Pretty much everyone feels like crap the day after a big holiday feast. Announce to your friends and family, “Hey! Who else feels like crap?! Wanna go get salads?” Perform a big, healthy ritual the day after. Take a yoga class. Lift some weights. Go for a big ol’ hike with your sweetie. Anything that reminds you how good making healthy decisions feels."
Once Thanksgiving is over, say to yourself. "Now it’s back to being who I am: a healthy person.”0 -

Relax and enjoy your day...make it about family. The food is just a plus to the day
