Latoya, I completely understand were you are coming from. So ladies, while Latoya is not joining us let still make her proud and rock the thanksgiving challenge!!! We dont need an official group leader this go round since it is just a one month challenge and such a short goal! Latoya I hope you still hang around our board and chat with us on here, but do skip the weigh ins, i do think you need a break. Everyone enjoy halloween and Ill see you on our turkey day thread!!

How will we know which thread is for the November challenge?

Actually, this is easier

This was not a great weightloss month for me, but it has been a great learning experience about what will work best for my body as I transition to maintenance mode. I am really working on not going overboard with my eating on the weekends, and incorporating exercise(short walks) into my weekends. I know that extreme losses/gains every week is not good for my body & I am gonna really focus on improving that as my personal goal for November. It makes no sense to eat clean/ exercise all week long Mon-Fri and then regain the 3-5 lbs that I lost M-F every weekend while eating whatever. I WILL do better! Thank you fellow mommies for this challenge to hold me accountable:flowerforyou:

See you all in the Thanksgiving thread!!

Halloween is tommorow ladies!! How are we doing? Ready for final weigh in? Well, i weighed in today and booooo!!! I am at 148 still :frown: I know why, i have partied for Halloween as if it would be the last so I cant be angry it just sucks!!!:explode: :explode: So my final number is ...148....8 weeks and only down 2 pounds...grrrrrrr....i guess i should be happy that im down something, but i know i need to focus. With that being said, i unfortunately will not be hosting the Three for Thanksgiving challenge, as i really need to buckle down and focus on my weight loss without weekly weigh ins and extra challenges. I have been beating myself up if I dont lose by a certain date and i need to get rid of that kind of behavior. i hate to let anyone down, I am just not in the right place for challenge leader and weigh ins....I love you all dearly and will continue to support each and everyone of you.:flowerforyou: As i am not quitting or giving up, i am just taking a challenge break...if any of us are not MFP friends make sure to add each other for day to day support...you guys rock and i cant wait to see what all the final numbers are!!

We'll miss you Toya!!! Drop in from time to time! :sad: :happy:

Hi Ladies.. I must say that I have been skimming through your posts and wow!!! you ladies rock! I feel terrible not keeping up. But life came first I guess.

I got up this morning, in my new apartment, and guess what? I forgot about weighing in.. not to mention i dont have a scale just yet.. and would have had to go down to my sister's apartment to weigh myself. So unfortunately, i dont have a weight until tomorrow morning. :ohwell: :frown:

I hope I can get settled quickly cause I really want to start back exercising... I feel so lethargic these days.. as well, I've been eating terribly recently... so bad, that sometimes I dont feel like logging. smh..

Anyways, ladies I dont want to be a sorry sue, so I'll just end this post by saying that you ladies are awesome and it has been quite a pleasure doing this challenge and the previous with you all! Looking forward to losing Three for November!!

So, I've been pretty bad about signing in -- I had a couple of trips and for about a month I've been gaining and losing the same two pounds, so it's kind of depressing to log in and say "so, I'm still at the same weight" week after week. But I finally seem to have had a break-through this week -- I weighed in this morning at 149.6 ! (Started at 155) FINALLY!!! So no movement at all and then 5 pounds in a week and a half. Sheesh. Latoya, don't worry about putting me back in the list if it's a pain -- I'm just excited and wanted to share!

Gained a bit back due to halloween yesterday but I will work hard this week to get it off. I didn't reach goal but I started a couple weeks late so not going to beat myself up over it.
Now where is the next challange?
