I was almost 4lbs down at weigh-in on Thursday! Even not being perfect helps me eat less and make at least some better choices. I did well with my steps too, a friend did a workweek challenge and I won it with 50,800 steps between Monday-Friday, which for me is great. This weekend I ate a faaaair amount of candy, but I controlled myself and my meals weren't big or consistent. Not ideal but I don't think I overdid it. Back on it for the work week today... Was it this thread we had a jeans discussion going on? Friday I found my (current) new holy grail jeans! Gap true skinny curvy - they fit amazing and I got them really cheap with sales and cardholder rewards. Almost went back to buy another pair at the sale price in a size down. HOWEVER - last night I'm sitting at rehearsal after I'd gushed about them to my friend who I sit with, and at one point she looks down and was like "is that a hole?" - and I'll be damned a seam is open on one of the legs.  I'll be going back this afternoon at lunchtime... if I'd had them a while I'd just fix it and be done, but I just bought them and they're $70 jeans, come on. Ugh, annoyed. Hope they can exchange them for me. |

I'll have to check them out! I just want a tummy tuck already so I can know where I'll land in sizes and buy jeans that make my lack of booty look decent.

They're really nice, fit the booty well with minimal gap at the waist (there's still a little, but the rise is high enough that it isn't a huge problem) and they actually aren't uncomfortably tight on my calves!

I think I finally have my back squared away. I ordered a heating pad that my mom has and is miraculous! I am putting in an order for a new desk chair this week. So, working from home shouldn't put me out of commission.
Steps are finally on an upward climb. Yay!
Really wanting to be down about 10lbs by Xmas.
I need the size 14s to be baggy at the very least... I am ready to get back into all the size 12s in my closet, which is essentially my entire wardrobe.

I don't think I have time to get in the amount of exercise I need to make up for my piece of pizza and 3 desserts I had at my work Halloween Party today. Hopefully we have enough salad fixings left that I can manage a chef salad for dinner to make up for the sugar at lunch.
We won't get trick or treaters tonight, so at least I won't be going home to tons of tempting candy!

There was candy everywhere today. Candy I don't even like... but my uterus made me eat it anyway.
Ugh! Stomach ache!
November 1st. I am ready for you.

I want to lose 10 lbs by Christmas also. I try and watch my food but a lot of time I chose bad food. Tomorrow I am going to pay for a month at our fitness center and see if I can stick with it this time. I start out good and then I get exhausted from taking care of my parents, working, and my chronic fatigue that I just give up. I need to accept the fact that if I don't get to the gym one day that shouldn't stop me from going a different day.

Lot of us want to lose 10lbs by Christmas - we can do it!  But don't tell WW about how I basically just snacked on fun sized candy last night for dinner  I ate well prior to that though since I knew it would be a candy free for all at night! |

Let's all just agree to forget today even happened. Yeah definitely. Coworker and I agreed if we didn't lose anything at weigh-in tomorrow, it was Halloween this week soooooo we won't be super upset. Long as I haven't gained anything significant back I'll be ok. |

I decided to so deeper squats and make sure my butt was below my knees. I was sorry after I got home and sat down. Maybe I should just get lipo and call it a day. I wish I had the money. I'd get all kinds of nipped and tucked.

Good job Knee Deep in Water Chloe ! I appreciate all the motivation the challenge gives me. I got up extra early today to get some steps in before work, b/c we are going to a wine tasting event tonight. After the week I've had, I really could use ALL the wine. Also, until about half an hour ago, I thought it was Friday, and now I'm really sad that I still have another day in the god forsaken week that I have to get thru. UGH. |

Welp I'm up .2lbs at WW today, so really not up at all, but I'm happy enough with that given the candy I've been eating. I already have almost 11k steps today thanks to a couple walks and I'm eating pretty good so far today, minimal candy. Want to be down a pound or two next week at the meeting so I have to be good this weekend!

I haven't tracked my calories for the last 2 days and I have overeaten. I need to get back on track or there isn't any way I am going to lose 10 lbs by Christmas. I was all excited about getting to the gym and paying for the next month on Nov 1 then my parents needed help and I didn't get there. Then I was going to go today but my mom needed me to run her on errands. By the time I got home I was exhausted since I have been up since 3 for work. The office isn't open again until Monday so I can't go this weekend.

I'm on the sofa right now. Does that count? 
I'm on track to meet my calorie goal today. I hope I make it!!!
Tomorrow is going to be a huge eating day as we're having a big family weekend.

DD#2 just gave me a FitBit Charge 2 for my birthday.
I'm not even sure I need such an advanced one.
