You are all doing good it sounds like. I had a really good month in Oct. as I was in a transition of sorts. We were coming South for the Winter and cooking and eating were not a priority. Were quite active and was losing good so once we got here I got really serious and lost 14#. I am still motivated and still walking every day but in the last 7 days I only lost 1#. I want to lose at least 7-8# this month if I can. I,too, need to lose about 45# to feel better health wise and have a better self-image!!! Good luck to you all.
