Fall Group to finish the year strong! Who is with me?

Just bumping it up; don't want to lose the support and motivation.
Yikes epangili, hope you recover quickly! How scary for you.

Jumping in late, but keeping it realistic...

It looks easy, only 4 pounds, but I'm getting down to the last pounds, and getting .5 pounds off each week is excruciatingly slow. It's also really hard to track/notice due to weight fluctuations. I'm hoping to get through the holidays staying relatively on track, rather than gain my "winter weight" that will "fall off" once spring comes (it never does... It's always work to get it off, and it's hard enough to get THIS weight off.)

Very late to the party, but want to play!
I used to be extremely active, but when I lost my day job of 31 years and had to take a second shift position at a different company, all of a sudden my "After work" activities disappeared. I went from cycling 30+ miles 5 days a week to barely 20 miles once or twice a week. Oh I have tried to get back to where I was but there is a HUGE difference between work, work out, sleep and work out, work then sleep. I am getting it back slowly but surely!
This is exactly the kind of group I've been looking for!

I had to laugh at your guilty pleasure, people would be surprised at what I listen to at 48!

Hello everyone.
It's good to see everyone is progressing and looking forward to hitting year end goals. It's going to be a challenging month and I am finding the holidays have started in the office. It seems like every day either a vendor is bringing in carb-loaded breakfasts or employees are sharing baked goods and sweet treats.

My favorite WW saying was, and still is, "nothing tastes as good as thin feels". I am finding myself saying this every time I walk through the cafeteria. It's a great mantra and seems to be keeping me in the right head space. I am also changing the word "thin" to "strength", "health", "balance", "moderation", etc..

The scale continues to move in the right direction which affirms the practices I have put in place (meal planning, fitting in activity, mindfulness) are working and if I continue onward with baby steps I will achieve my goals. I cannot wait to hit maintenance and I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel (only 15 more pounds to go!).

I hope everyone has a positive day.

Haha! I'm 58 and always tell people I'm 18.

Amen to the generation who watched their parents and grandparents age well before their times! Like many on the board I tell everyone I live on many different planes. The mental one is 35; add 20 to the physical. And, I prefer to look like the mental one. I texted my brother some pics of my journey and he said you look like you're f'in 35. I told him that changes when the pictures are close ups - LOL!

Wishing all a great day. I simply love Fridays and the promise of what the weekend will bring.

@avalonblues good loss!

@epangili you're really close, congratulations!

It appears our moderator has jumped shipped. PM'd him and no reply. Are any of you friends with him? Hope he is OK.

The scale continues to move in the right direction even with a few fast food flops. Even though I ate crap I stayed within my calorie goal but did notice I felt absolutely horrible after eating that food. It's a reminder how bad it actually is for me.

I have been a little relaxed over the past two weeks about exercise. It's not that I am not thinking about it and moving more, I just get caught up in things and before I know it the day is over. I think this is partially due to the time change. TG my sleep pattern is finally getting back to normal. Note - I am an extremely early riser (between 3:00 - 4:30 am). So when we turn back the clocks I am up around 2:00 - 2:30. The first week is exhausting and then I am oversleeping the second week. I am looking forward to Yoga in the Park this Saturday and am hopeful the weather will hold out.

Stats
SW: 195.0 08/24/19
TW: 167.8 11/14/19
November Goal - 1.5 pounds per week/6 pounds for the month
November Loss - 3.8 pounds with 2.2 to go.

2.2 pounds is doable but with Thanksgiving being the last Thursday of the month...... My plan is to start the day with a nice, long walk and then possibly a walk after dinner. The friends are planning a "movable" feast (all live in the same development) which should be interesting. Appetizers are being served at 6:00 pm so I imagine it's going to a long night. At least the the hosting homes are in downtown FTL extremely close to a very busy night life area so a good walk will be easy and entertaining.

I hope everyone is doing well on their paths. Here's to a positive day!

Pizza comes close. Tacos also.

LOL! The holidays have begun and it seems everywhere I turn food is being placed in my path. The latest.....cheesecake brownies! I hope you're doing well. It's been some time since we ran in to each other on the boards.

Only down to 139.5. Frustrating because there is nothing to point to one why I haven't lost more. I have not cheated once (ok 3 croutons at yesterday's work potluck).
I have been eating in deficit by 1000 calories every day.
I am not giving up! Maybe the swoosh loss will happen today.
