This is a monthly thread for those of us who have a lot of weight to lose. The definition of “a lot” is something that is determined personally, so everyone who feels they have a lot of weight to lose is welcome to post here.
Please join us in offering support, checking in for accountability, help with questions, etc. We’re in this for the long haul.
We’d also love to hear from those of you who are maintaining a large loss. We need those tips to help us to keep the weight off once we lose it.

Starting us off for November. The holidays can pose a lot of stress and planning problems to stay on track. This year is probably different with less travelling and fewer gatherings/parties, but that in itself can be stressful! So here's to us all, doing our best

Good morning
Dotren, thanks for our November start. Yes the holidays can be stressful. Watching the news lately can be stressful. Our country has gotten so toxic.
Waving to all

Hello Everyone DotRen - Thanks for starting the November thread. I'm going to try to post more often this month, since it keeps me motivated to do something rather than nothing sunrose - I pretty much quit watching all news. I pick up a few headlines off the internet, or watch if there is something I really want to see (mostly natural disaster events). The holidays can be stressful for many different reasons. I know it can be a lonely time for me too. I don't usually go to any family parties, but I can imagine it will be difficult for those that are used to spending so much time with family during this season. And then there is all the stress of Christmas cards and gifts and I wonder how it will work this year. I usually buy a lot of gift cards, but I don't know if I want to do that this year and I wonder how many people are actually going out and shopping that much. I know I'm trying to limit my outings. I'm trying to set an exercise goal for the month. As long as I can do some dedicated walking each day, I'll be happy. Hope everyone checking in is doing well and that we all have a good month.

Hello Everyone irisinnia - Hello, hope you have a great day too Hope you are all having a good day. I got my walking in today, so I'm happy about that. I'm also working on decluttering again, now that the weather is cooler and I did some of that too. So it was a productive day for me.

Hello Everyone I did some walking today. Had a bunch of errands to run, so I didn't get to any decluttering - hope to get back to that tomorrow. Hope you are all doing well

Hello Everyone - Hope you are all doing well. I've been doing pretty good with my walking, and hope to keep that up. We're getting into that time of year that is difficult for me. I just want to eat all the holiday foods, and not the healthy versions of them

Murray has been restless at night. Not sure what's up, but I get up and let him out, usually around 2:30 - he walks around the back yard and comes back in. This morning, he wanted back out around 3, did the same thing. I'm not sure if he's hearing a noise or what (we have been hearing a very loud owl the past couple of weeks), but if I get up 2x, I'm wide awake.

Hello Everyone DotRen - Sorry you haven't been getting sleep because of Murray - hope you get some quiet nights soon sunrose - I guess I'm hanging in there too. I don't have the energy to even think about losing weight, just too many things going on in my life right now. Hope everyone else checking in is doing well.
