    Looks like you guys had some fantastic losses this week! I saw a few like me who maintained but no gains from last week, GREAT JOB everyone!

    I've hit another plateau and my husband has left for 3 wks w/ National Guard training and I have decided to set my goal as 135.0 lbs by the time he gets home Nov. 4th. 135 was my GW when I started MFP.

    I signed up for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure & donated extra w/ the registration as last week's challenge. I can't afford to go shopping this week to try on smaller size clothes, but I did go last week and bought size small shirts for the first time in about 6 years. It was fantastic! And bought smaller size bras as well, which I am thrilled about (although my husband has mixed feelings, lol.)

    my hormones are messing with me. i have steadily gained a pound each day this week. *sigh*

    how did the shopping expeditions go? did it help motivate you to lose the weight be the end of the challenge?
