Hey Carrie! How did the week go diet wise? I did really well on the exercise, but only so-so on the diet. I went to dinner with a friend and then I ate a bunch at a breakfast meeting at work. Ugh! As of today, I'm up a pound for the week. I'll record tomorrow, so I still have a chance-slim chance because I'm going to a party tonight. Oh well...
Big hugs for a successful weigh in for both of us!!
Hug
Carrie, sorry you're feeling so low. Maybe try pampering yourself a little while your by yourself, indulge and enjoy. Hope you feel better soon

Have a great Wednesday, Carrie!

Silly me set a weight loss goal for the holidays! In truth I would love to NOT gain over that time. Sweets are my downfall. I've never been able to pass up a cookie!
I'd like to talk to you more about supplements. I take them...but more or less randomly, with no clear plan as to why I take each thing.
Have a great Monday (ugh!). At least I'm going to work in the day light for a while! -

Hi Carrie...I'm your November diet buddy! I look forward to getting to know you. What are your goals and what do you need support/reminders about?
I'm trying to lose 20-30lbs...I've already lost about that amout over the course of a year. I did it by eating healthy (small changes over time) and working out. It's been a slow process! I don't have an end weight or size in mind--I'm just trying to be healthy and look/feel my best.
