I am ready to start a new me! I am following the Atkins Revised plan, but this app helps me stay accountable for what I eat and drink. My workout routine is walking for right now. Waiting for the P.I.N.K. Method DVDs to come in this week or next! Feel free to email me if you ever need motivation! Kathleenhcourtney@gmail.com

Welcome KatieC1983!  What are the P.I.N.K. Method dvds?  I'm looking for cold weather work out ideas - gyms are super pricey so my living room is all I have to work with on the bitter cold days. 

Ran late this am and forgot to weigh in - will post tomorrow!

Sorry about your grandmother asbandr!

And langey12, that may be a good idea.  I don't party hard but do usually have some wine on the weekends and bigger breakfasts.  Thanks for the tip!

Count me in!  I'm definitely going to work much harder.  It may be Jan but I have my eye on the beach :-)

CW: 126.8

Good luck everyone!

Good luck and happy holidays everyone!

Oh my goodness, that's so me.  Part of me feels like a cop out for such a small stgw, but at the same time, I'm not going to ignore what time of year it is.  If I can lose 2 lbs instead of gaining weight in december, that's as good as losing 5 lbs in a month!

So true!

Average daily calories/deficit: I've been saying it for awhile now, but I really am going to log everything!!! this month.  Aiming for a 500 cal deficit each day.
Add comments: I'm up a few lbs and it's because for some reason I thought I could eat the same as my bf and it'd be ok.  This month I'm going to turn things around.  5k in Dec that I need to get ready for and I really want to go into the holidays feeling good about my eating habits

11/08:  Very happy with the scale this morning!  Now to just keep up the hard work so I go into Thanksgiving feeling good.

11/22:  Still down but losing ground :-s  I avoided the muffins at the coffee shop this morning so that's a win.  I have my first 5k race in a couple wks so I'll be running a lot while I'm home for Thanksgiving.  Here's to no gain over the holiday!

11/29:  OK sooo I didn't really lose at all (according to the scale).  But on top of turkey it's TTOM...  I did run twice while I was home so points there!  I'm hoping to see much better numbers after a couple days at home.

Add comments: One last summer picnic this weekend, then no worries till the Thanksgiving Feast. (ha!)   Feeling strong and on track this week, though am really hungry all the time like I was when I first started counting back in January.  But that makes sense since I am starting over after basically maintaining for three months...

 Thanks so much!  Good luck this weekend!!!
