    My November badge is to close all three rings 10 times. I was up almost all night with a bad stomach. Had to reschedule my injections until Thursday. No exercise today.

    Thursday last week I nearly gave up! I'd been doing everything right and not getting the results I'd earned. Ì had a 2 day binge and was up 4lb. I was back to the same weight as the start of October :(
    I gave myself a good talking to and thanks to the support of this group decided to keep going.
    Here I am 5 days later. Not only has the 4lb gone, but overnight the scales has dropped over 2lb :)
    JUST KEEP GOING!!

    Proud of you for not giving up ...We are here for you ...Congrats on losing the 4lbs and 2 more lbs :)

    Well done on turning it around! Good for you. I need to get back on it too, had such a binge the past 2 days

    Ohhh don't let the celebration of reaching your goal lead to major gains .... I've been there before and couldn't stop gaining! Just put all that loss straight back on! I know maintenance is harder than losing!!!

    Hi everyone, thanks for having me back! I'm 48/F from New York, not married/no kids (so all of my food choices are 100% on me :s ). I joined this team originally in May '20. I started out great and from April to Nov '20, I lost about 30lbs. This team has been great for support and motivation! I decided to finish my degree online while working from home full-time and got completely overwhelmed, which led to me dropping the ball on my health. Now I'm about back to where I started, weight-wise. I'm working from the office again, I've settled into a better rhythm on my schoolwork, and the next step is to add going to the gym. Ok, onto the weigh-in!

    MissGYST
    Weigh-in day: Wednesday
    HW: 245
    SW: 237.6
    CW: 237.2

    So it's only a 0.4lb loss, but I'm calling it a win because I went to a Halloween Party on Saturday, a birthday party on Sunday, and trick-or-treating with my great-nephews on Monday. I'll take any number that's less than last week! :D

    Steps so far this week:
    Sunday, 10/30: 6,069
    Monday, 10/31: 8,644
    Tuesday, 11/1: 7,440
