    30th November:


    Weight lost/gained this week: +1.8
    Weight lost/gained this month: +2.2

    Successes/struggles this week: Aaaand once again, scale is going in the wrong direction. Not exactly surprised though, considering last weekend was my birthday weekend and I definitely pigged out. My own fault. Doesn't look like I'll be hitting November's goal, but I'll make sure that December is much better. We'll also see how things shake out next week once some of the bloat is gone-just in time for Thanksgiving!

    Hi! I realize the month is more than halfway over, but I wanted to join in. I've been half-a$$ing (can I swear here?) the weight loss thing for so many years now. I say I want to, I try (and succeed) for a little bit (a very little bit), but I never really change. I'm 40, and I do not want this to be me for the rest of my life. I struggle a lot with overeating, particularly in response to stress and after the kids go to bed. I'm not very good at having just one cookie. I was looking for a group to join on here to help keep me in line, and I found this. I have weight data for the month, so I'll just jump in. Hope that's ok!

This week I stuck to my plan and I know it paid off as know I lost what I put on the week before a lost a little. I'm very pleased I may just make my goal. Plan to put my best food forward this week too and get through Thanksgivings with a 2 pound LOSS!

    Still struggling with stress eating! It's been a very tough week in terms of stress. I haven't gone too crazy, though, and consider all the many, many, many small choices I make each day for my health as indicators of success. Also fit into some "goal" pants I bought last year but could never wear. :)

    Successes/struggles this week: Last week was discouraging and I'm pretty proud I continued to log my foods. There was one night in particular where I was so tempted to just say screw it. Glad I didn't.
    This week is Thanksgiving so I plan to work out a lot to create enough space to enjoy the holiday. I also plan on being careful the day before and after.
