Hello! Is this an active group? I haven't seen any posts. Are we starting October 1? Oct to Dec are hard times for me. That is when I tend to let go and throw out all the good work I've done early in the year. I'm normally having to lose anywhere from 7-15lbs in January. I would love to break that bad habit this year!!!

    Hi alf1163! Yes, this group is active, thank you for posting! The holidays are a tough time, and we offer a free Eat Smart, Move More, Maintain, don't gain! Holiday Challenge if you are interested in joining. To sign up, please go to www.esmmweighless.com and click the "Holiday Challenge" tab. The Holiday Challenge runs from November 16-December 31st so that is why no one has posted in here yet. But it's never too early to start the support! : )

    The holiday's are always a challenge for me; it's my favorite time of year. I'm working on a 30 # weight loss that has taken 20 years to put on... I dread the holiday sweet treats.
    Maybe we can support each other and not have to lose that extra 10 #'s that come with the season.

    You can do it! We are in this together, fighting off that extra 10 pounds. This year will be a year of healthy treats and small steps. We will maintain together!
