I'm down 1.4 from last week.  At least my weight is going in the right direction now... but I'm pretty sure I will not be making my xmas goal.

I must have a thing for being last, cause it seems like I am every week.  Some of you might already know I had a umm ...how should I say "not so good" week.  I gained 3 pounds :(  Oh well, I have moved past that and am trying to get back to making time to log my food in each day instead waiting and doing 3-4 days at a time.  I need to see my numbers every single day to keep me on track.  I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and create very special memories with your friends and loved ones!

Hi Audra, I know what you mean about the chocolate.  Try making up a small trail mix with no or lightly salted nuts, raisins, and the little choclate bits you get in the bakers section.  I keep a small bowl in the fridge and when I get that CRAVING!!!!! I just grab a handful from the bowl.  and don't forget to drink a big glass of water with it.  Good luck,

Will

Well done guys! Haven't posted in a while as havne't lost anything, its been a real nightmare but lost 3 pounds this week so I'm hoping this is me turning a corner, not sure I can deal with not loosing anything for long periods of time!

Fingers crossed for you all.

Love to see your progress!  I'm going to skip the post this week...changing my weigh in day to Mondays as I tend to weigh less on Mondays...also I'm buying some time =)  Hugs to all of you!

thanks for the words of encouragement girls! im gonna try to step this thing up again... i really dont want to gain any  weight over the holidays, i want to keep losing and get to my goal! and Hilary, i think i will try the water thing! i love water though, its my favorite drink, so it wont be a punishment to drink it, but it might fill me up like you said, and then i wont eat as much when i do go for the bad stuff :/

Ok, Audra. Are you guzzling the water?  I know it may be tough...I am a major chocolate lover, myself...but, maybe if you force yourself to drink an entire bottle of water before letting yourself have a piece of chocolate, one of two things could happen.  Either you will decide that the chocolate isn't worth having to drink a whole bottle of water, or the water will fill you up and you'll eat less chocolate.  Just a thought...I'm always trying to figure out new ways to manipulate myself into doing what I should be doing.  My weight stalled for a few weeks there and getting back to my water regiment has made all the difference the last 2 weeks.

Had a happy weigh-in.  I lost 3 pounds this week!  So happy!  Just realized that I am only 10 pounds from my Christmas goal...haha...ONLY 10 lbs.  :)    Hope you all have a lovely, healthy, "controlled" Thanksgiving.  God Bless ~~ Hilary

I FINALLY LOST A POUND. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER. I BURNED CALORIES ONE DAY AND I FEEL BETTER. IM READY AGAIN. HOLIDAYS ARE COMING. I SHOULD BE OKAY. TURKEY IS HEALTHY AND SO ARE GREENS. SMALL PORTIONS FOR LUNCH AND DINNER AND SUGAR FREE/ REDUCED FAT ON THE DESSERTS. AND I AM GOING TO STAY ON MY EXERCISE ROUTINE EVEN FOR THE HOLIDAYS. ITS GETTING TO CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS. ALTHOUGH I HAVE A LOT OF POUNDS TO SHED, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I REACH MY GOAL OR COME CLOSE SO I CAN CONTINUE MY JOURNEY. I REALIZE I WILL BE CLOSE TO LOSING MY FIRST 100 POUNDS BEFORE THE NEW YEAR BEGIN. GOOD JOB EVERYONE!!!!!!!!! AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!

You have done such an amazing job so far. You have proven you can do it. Don't let the chocolate undo you. I am thankful tat the chocolate SF bars are helping me keep my mind off the real thing and I make sure it is time for my bar when my husband or friend has something delicious. You can  beat this. Good Luck, Suzanne

still no weight loss.... feeling pretty bummed! ive had a kinda sad week, i lost my biggest motivation... ive been sticking to my diet for the most part, but barely been working out. and i keep eating CHOCOLATE!!! i cant stay away from it! its always been my weakness, but through this journey ive been able to avoid it by saying to myself "i want this thing more than i want that chocolate!" but for some reason, thats just not working lately :(    

I've really gotta get back on track here....
