had a little set back, but not as bad a i thought it was going to be. i'm not so worried about eating during thanksgiving anymore as long as i can get rid of this cookie dough without eating too many more cookies! (never thought school fundraisers would be the down fall of my "diet") LOL

Cricketro05 - Unfortunate week, hopefully next week will be better for you!

 

yeah, hopefully. eating wise i'm never worried, but i also know i need to work out more, which usually over the winter it's not happening.

Good morning rest_lessgirl,

Got back on track and trying to keep the momentum going.  I am thrilled that this calorie/excercise thing really works.  Imagine that.  Thank you, thank you for having this challenge.  I hope that you will host another in December.  Have a great weekend.

I lost two lbs this week I am not so sure I will lose ten lbs this month,  I am really planning for thanksgiving.  I want to be in control and I will be in control.  Good luck to everyone and remember Thanksgiving is about the people not the food.

Rushed reply as I am not feeling well, but well done everyone!
I'm so proud of you, you're all doing so great!

And yes, I'll be doing it again for December but I predict this December will be even more chaotic than usual with all these extra stresses appearing (comfort eating here I come!), so I may not be able to be as personal and I may not be able to give individual comments.
I hope you guys/girls understand!

Good luck with the final week!

 Hey Restless. I dont know how you find the time to give individual comments in the first place. Maybe some more of the regulars can help out and start commenting on others progress too!

keb1984 - Well, I don't work so I'm just at home all day watching tv mainly.
Only times I can't do it is when family life becomes demanding or if my anxiety is too dibilitating (Like this morning).
But there's a lot going on this December (Can't say what until Friday).

Orangeloft - Well just keep at it!
What kind of junk food are you craving?
Apparently craving sugar is a result of being low in calcium and if it's salty food maybe you're low in sodium?

Iamacommitmentto - Well done, you're doing really well! Keep it up!

Here's to hoping Thanksgiving doesn't get me and I achieve my goal instead of just barely missing it like last time :)

Alle0299 - Well done!
Keep up the good work, I hope you get to see your goal by the final weigh in!
