I'm in!!
I have to share my great news! I was digging through my off season clothes looking for something for Halloween and I ran across a pile of jeans I forgot I stashed there. Last year I was frustrated that my jeans storage area was really cramped and I was down to only a couple pairs of jeans that fit. I took a bunch out that were too small and put them away so I wouldn't have to be reminded daily. As I was trying on one of the smaller pairs I said I won't cry when these don't fit me yet, but to my amazement not only did they fit, but they fit really well, absolutely no squeezing or pulling
Doing the happy dance tonight!

Megan, that's great!
I'm in for November, I'll get a FQ in the mail to you next week. What is December's theme? I might as well include that one as well. I just read that I was supposed to be checking in once a week, I missed that for October! I did read the messages throughout the month but didn't really respond to too much. I'll do better on that this time. And hopefully I'll do better on my weight loss for November too as I definitely didn't lose weight in October

Count me in again. Didn't do very good this month. Haven't weighed myself in about 3 days - the last time I did I actually gained 1.5 pounds and it wasn't because of Halloween candy, we don't have any around as where we live we don't get trick or treaters. The kids all go over to the really big developments that are near the elementary school.

The FQ theme for November is red, the theme for December is your choice. Maybe I should weigh myself tomorrow before trick or treat. I usually sit in the driveway and eat candy while I pass it out. We usually get about 150 kids. The weather might be awful tomorrow. It might rain and possibly have a few flakes of snow.
I don't know what was up with my 5 kids I work with at school today. Between Halloween and a substitute teacher I was expecting a stressful day. They were really good. Actually paid attention and answered questions. They were pretty good all day. I don't even need chocolate.

I'm in for November. Just 13 lbs to go. If I buckle down I can win all those gorgeous reds! The black/whites I won way back last winter (Jan?) came in handy when getting together my fabrics for the Bonnie Hunter mystery coming up.
Way to go, Megan!
Way to go, Megan!

Congratulations Megan!!! That's really cool! I was able to pull out a pair of capri's that I had not been able to wear since last spring. They are fine if I am moving around but if I sit for a long time, still a little tight in the tummy.
I can also wear my jeans that were too uncomfortable (tight) during the summer.
