Denise: Don't be sorry, that is good news. In the end, it's about maintaining.  I'm so proud of you.  -Bud

Denise- Sorry to hear that you stalled out in October. I know how that feels. To continue losing, you might want to be a little more careful about some of your choices. Despite your  previously stated goal of around 1600 calories a day, some of your days are still clocking in as much as 1000 calories above that-- I am not sure you're even aware of it.  Many of your foods (like mashed potatoes) also have a very high glycemic index, so they spike your blood sugar, then quickly leave you, so you're hungry again soon. More exercise also helps get a stall moving. Take care! -S.
