    Had a very bad day yesterday, probably at a maintenance but had more sodium than usually. Hope the pound is fluid and it goes away quickly. Hope everyone has a very successful November.

    Even though I lost I wasn't happy with my week because I ate over my goal on many days. Don't know why I craved food so much this past week, but am hoping to have a much better week. Only made it to the gym once this past week, but aiming for at least 4 days this week.

    Welcome to the new people joining the challenge.

    Hello all: Decided I needed to start keeping myself accountable again so I'm back. I was using my food issues as an excuse to not do anything. I have been following Dr. Oz's Day Off Diet for a week and it's pretty easy to follw, I really like it. I have pretty much gained all my weight back, but it will come off again. I'm taking it one day at a time and sometimes even one minute at a time. I have not started an exercise routine yet but when the time is right I will. Anyway, I'm throwing myself back into this so here goes:

    Not sure I am going to meet my goal this month. I started off strong, but TOM is kicking my butt, and letting my eating get a little out of hand this weekend. Need to buckle up!! I need to at least hit my 50lbs lost mark which is only another 1.2 away.

    Finally feel like I am back on track. Smoked several chicken breasts yesterday so that should help me stick to my plan for the rest of the week. Now starting to plan to host thanksgiving - planning lots of veggie dishes so maybe it won't be too bad....(I hope).

    Of course I log my weight and I have to get back on the scale after my shower and it goes down to 299.9.. but I already logged it so it doesn't count.. but I have it towards next week. YAY! It will give me momentum. I'll be logging on 11/24 next week because I work crazy hours all weekend at my part time job and I'm afraid I'll forget to log. So my goal for Thanksgiving morning is to be 298.

    A good week for me, but the weekend, yikes! Weekends can be so brutal! Yesterday I ate double what I should :-( And then there is Thanksgiving this week...I just will have to work extra hard next week, and try not to do to much more damage this week.

    Seeing lots of great activity on this thread this month---very inspiring!
