I survived the Thanksgiving holiday without a weight gain for the week. I went up 0.2 lbs from my low yesterday (but I am considering it normal fluctuation). overall I am down 1.4 lbs this week. Now, now the holiday is over and I am back on the weight loss program and hope to get back to approx 2 lbs a week down, betweeen now and Christmas.

HOLIDAY WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE
WEEK 4
This week I really was not at all disciplined. I some how managed to lose, even though I ate like crazy. I may go to the doctor, because I really should not be losing the way I am eating.
I see that this week was hard for some of us, but some still managed to maintain or even lose. It is helpful to know that I am not alone and to see other people working and persevering and succeeding is super helpful to me. thanks for keeping up with posting your updates, even though you may be on the struggle bus. we can do this!
