It's when I first log in, so it's Beta. Very strange!
I need to crack the whip next week, too. It's only 2 weeks till I leave for Thanksgiving and I don't want to go into the holiday feeling all vulnerable...I want to feel strong and healthy! I guess, like you said, I know in the back of my head I can get lean again...but it would be so much easier not to have to in the first place! Can't wait to see your goals on Monday, Mike!

I think that a few of us need to crack that whip. One of my (many) goals will be to drop 10 pounds by Jan. 1. That doesn't sound like much but we have 2 big food holidays coming up. After the New Year I'll start fine tuning my body and get my bf% where it should be before Spring comes.

I know what you mean. I've only been pigging out for a week and I already feel a "jiggle". I have until the second week of December to be at my low weight. I know I can do it... I just have to get my head together... like right NOW! UGH! I just feel totally unmotivated. I suppose if I got on the scale, that would be motivation enough!

All right, y'all, cue your motivational music. You can do this, and you will do this! Nothing about this is an unknown, you've done it before and you will do it again. I have faith!

Mhibdon, ugh FD is being crazy then! It shouldn't change it for you. Have you tried on the classic version? Hope you got your rest and can tackle all your assignments over the weekend.
I don't think I'm liking Mark so much this time around.
BUT thanks for the image of all the crazy cat ladies, if you ever do become cat ladies I hope you all get to share the same bridge.
Cassie, lovely pictures.
See you around over the weekend, have a great one!

Did fairly well this week. Kept my appointment with the Y trainer and we came up with a new strategy. Hope that keeps me going. I'm feeling more motivated than I have for a month. I'm off on a shopping trip today however I've already made up my mind not to use it as an excuse to overeat at lunch. Tomorrow I need a good grocery shopping. Have a great weekend everyone. Remember -- we are in control of the choices we make. It's much easier if we don't have to rethink that choice every time temptation happens. Mary
