November challenge !!!!!!!!!!!! : >

Sorry I have been like a robot lately but I am in too many challenges!! It is important that I at least check in with all. Elimay you have sooooo much going on! And the people around you have a lot going on, ths makes you a strong person in my opinion!! I watch too much Oprah so I will leave it at that!! (Whooo, ever watcher her Lifeclass??)

Great group of challengers, I even enjoy the ones who comment only "Bad Day". It makes me feel normal. Not everyday (for me) is a perfect logging day but I personally am thankful to read that people are like me. Not to mention, I soak up all positivity on MFP and that is what keeps me going.

Feel better Elimay, glad to know you enjoyed yoru time wtih your husband. EVERYONE ELSE, let's make the best of the rest of this week!! Good luck!!

Its early in the day yet for me to check in, but I just realized something. First, thank you Elimay for starting this challenge. As I put down when the challenge started, I needed motivation because while I want to lose weight, it see-saws within a few pounds. I'll be good for a few days or a few weeks, and then life generally interferes and I stop. Now that we're approaching the holidays and colder weather, the urge to eat more is definitely there. I am not as motivated as I should be, but by having to report in everyday, I am a little bit better than if I was just doing this on my own.

What I'm excited about is when I weighed in this morning, I actually had a new number on the scale that I hadn't seen in a while. I didn't realize it at the time I weighed in, but later started to look at the different reports and saw I haven't had the number while on MFP. It showed I'm all of 5 lbs down from whenever I started on MFP ages ago. Not a big number, but again, I see-saw. I haven't hit that number in over the past 6-12 months. The lowest I got was 4.8 lbs down, and then I'd go back up. So as of today, I have reached a new number on the scale that I haven't seen in about 1 1/2 years, and I didn't even realize it. My short term goal is to get down another three, and if I can do that, I'll have broken through a weight barrier. All together, I have another 8-11 lbs to get to what I think is my right weight. Not a huge number, but I fluctuate within a few pounds and that's all the movement I generally see. So, with the holidays, and snow on the horizon, this will continue to be a big challenge even if I'm looking for smaller numbers.
