Is this group active?
Hello! Is this an active group? I haven't seen any posts. Are we starting October 1? Oct to Dec are hard times for me. That is when I tend to let go and throw out all the good work I've done early in the year. I'm normally having to lose anywhere from 7-15lbs in January. I would love to break that bad habit this year!!!
