Stepped on the scale this morning and did not lose a single pound!  Could the scale be broken?  Not a good way to start a beautiful Saturday.  Is there a bright side? Oh yeah, at least I didn't gain any weight.....**walks away from laptop very grumpy**  Good Luck Everyone!

Weight Loss Since Last Weigh In: +.4 lbs

Total weight loss: 3.8 lbs

Grr...Just to clarify though, i was at 125.0 on wednesday...but i ate whatever i wanted on thursday and didn't count it at all for the first time since i started this site on sept 9.  I had planned that since then too...thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays!  No regrets!  PLUS...I did a 3 mile trail run thurday morning and ran most of it...all in the woods...my legs have been REALLY sore since then so i know i'm retaining water from that..so i think i'm still fluctuating from the soreness and the food i still have in me...so i almost made my goal and hope to see a lower weight next time b/c i know i didn't eat 3500 OVER the amount I would eat to maintain (so there's no way I actually physically gained 1 lb from one day of eating a bunch).  Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving and a great month!

Well, November didn't turn out so great either for me but I'm glad I haven't gained too much. I'm still exercising, but not keeping track of my food as much as I was before.

Sorry.  Been feeling puny, so spaced on our final November weigh in!

I've been sick almost the entire time I was off work, so I am sure that loss will bounce back a little when I return to eating.  :P 

Claire, are you doing to be able to run a december challenge for us?  or do you need us to pick up the slack?  i'd be happy to make the thread and look after the weekly updates, but i'm not so good with the affirmations and encouragement....

yeah, if you don't have time Claire, we can all pinch in and help wt the stuff; someone handle the weigh ins, someone else the motivation and so on :)
