I'm in again this month for sure! I lost double what I'd hoped to lose in November, and I had planned to take off the Christmas holidays with my kids (school-aged) and go wild, but now I think I am more motivated than ever to continue what I was doing! But we'll see what happens as Christmas gets closer and closer...

I had only planned to be vegetarian/peskatarian for a month - but it was easier than I thought so I am going to continue it. I am adding in some more exercising too. My nephew is getting married 1/4/14 so there is added incentive.

I'm in again and Cindy has my FQ for this month. I had a very small loss this month, but enough to keep me motivated. I do feel better not overeating! I had a full plate for Thanksgiving, but didn't go back for seconds and had a small piece of two pies that I made. I haven't had any of the leftovers!

Here's to healthy choices for everyone today.

I am for December. I had a few health problems in November and my plank challenge got derailed. So for December I have invented my own plank/walking challenge. Being on the gluten free diet means most holiday party foods are off limits, so that helps with the willpower at the parties. I do have to be careful not to treat myself to make up for missing out.

I'm in for December. Sent in my skinny quarter already. Hopefully, I will be close to my goal by year's end. Did pretty good on Thursday. Had a good plate of food and a sliver of pie - I was cutting it, so was able to get that little bit for me. Gave me a bite without any of the 'excess'. We have had left overs, however. Made a turkey jambalya from one carcass and have another carcass in the freezer for later. Gave a good bit away to some friends, but there's leftovers left over!

I'm in again. Thanksgiving eating has not been good.

I'm in again. I feel better on Paleo and will continue with it.

I'm in for December. I've got to get my act together. You have my FQ for December. Here's hoping to do better this next time around.

I forgot to sign up for Nov so I'm getting in early for December.

Teddybear Lady, hoping won't do it. You have to tell yourself "I AM losing weight', not 'I hope I will'. Your brain and body respond to the current 'I AM', not the future denoted in 'I will'. We ARE doing this together.
