Can't believe it is November! Hope everyone is doing well with their weight loss. My goal is to get into the 150's this month. I am soo very close. My ultimate goal is 145.

The next two months are the hardest to get through for me. Seems like everyone is always baking and celebrating something every weekend, not to mention Thanksgiving weekend. For us it usually involves traveling which usually disrupts my workouts and eating habits. Luckily though it is getting easier to find healthier options on the go.

I'm so close to the 150's but so far away. Lost down to 161.5 now I'm bouncing 161.5-164.5 up and down. I'm still doing the WW points plus. I really enjoy it but find if I eat additional weekly point allowance of 49 points per week I don't lose. If stay with my daily allowance of 26 I lose. One weekend I really went over my points allowance if I hadn't did that I would probably be in the 150's again. It's been a while since I've seen the 150's. Soon hopefully.

After back surgery in May 2011, gained a bunch o'weight, lost a lot o'muscle. After 3 months of (literally) baby steps getting back on my feet, started PT and soonafter regular gym visits to rebuild core. At no point did anyone primary physician, surgeon, PT discuss anything about weight and nutrition impacting speed and quality of my rehab.

It wasn't until I decided on my own to start losing weight and eating better until I realized the obvious connection between carrying less weight around and having my back, legs, etc. under less stress. Once I started changes, I began to burn weight quicker, workouts improved, stamina, etc.

All that said, I hit a wall about a month ago and recently went to a GNC store and talked to the owner about dietary supplements to make sure I'm getting enough "good stuff" and also looked at things to help burn weight more efficiently. I can honestly say that now, at age 45, I feel better than I have since I was in my 20's.

Still have a long way to go, but my hat off to anybody making exercise, diet, and nutrition changes in their life at any point, young or old.

...what suppliments did gnc recommend...i have sort of hit a wall in my weight loss and i need to drop about ten more pounds to hit my bmi...any info would be greatly appreciated... ....

well, i think the best thing to do is to speak with someone at a nutrition store, as everyone's physiology is unique. for example, i'm 6'3, 230, and have been described by a friend as a linebacker with a beer gut. i'm trying to lose weight around my belly, so i'm using a vitamin pack specifically for my needs along with some fish oil. people with different bodies, needs, etc. probably need different stuff, so i'm not sure there's a one-size-fits all solution. i did some research online before i found a store to go to, which helped...

I am bouncing between 220-215...it's getting very annoying. My goal is 210 by the end of the month.

I went on vacation the week before last and so did my nutrition. My last weigh in before vacation was on 10/26. I didn't track at all and made some poor choices, but didn't overeat. We did walk on the beach a few times. I started tracking this past Monday, but didn't exercise at all this week. My husband went in for unexpected surgery on Thursday, so I've been taking care of him while still managing to eat properly. I didn't weigh in after we got back from OBX and today was my first WW weigh in. I lost 2.4lbs.

I'm still not down to the 150's. I do good and get 1-2 pounds away then I eat and go up a couple pounds and then back down. We had our Thanksgiving dinner at work Thursday and I have this all or nothing attitude I'm either on a diet or I'm not and that day I wasn't. I eat all day long now I'm 5 pounds away from the 150's. Back on track and I'm going to plan ahead for Thanksgiving try to eat smaller portions of the food we'll see how that goes. I've dug my treadmill out and it's sitting in the middle of the living room floor. I plan of using it today. It's been a while.

I lost 2.6 this week, for a grand total of 61.4 lbs. I also had made a goal at the beginning of October to lose 10 lbs by Thanksgiving and I made that this week at 10.7 gone since 10/1.
Thanksgiving shouldn't be too difficult for me. Portion control is much easier now than it was 6 months ago.

Thanksgiving wasn't hard, but I was way over my points target two other days this week. Back on track starting now.
