T’was the night before Christmas
And all through my home,
My family was sleeping,
I was completely alone.
The stockings were hung
on the mantle (it’s fake),
And on the table was placed
Some cookies and cake.
Gingerbread and chocolate,
Sugar and spice.
I was sure that Santa
Would find it quite nice.
My mouth started to water,
I looked at the treats twice.
Santa would understand
If I had [...]

I was glancing over a few of my past blog posts. As I was reading them, at first I thought they sounded a bit selfish and self serving.
Then as I thought a bit more, I thought, Why not? Now it is about me. For once in my life, I am thinking about me. I am [...]

I am taking a trip to visit my mother in California the last two weeks of January.
All my clothes were getting ridiculously big on me. Until now I had refused to buy new clothing. I am not one to wear used stuff (I am a bit of a germ phoebe).
I broke down and bought a [...]

Mark Pinkhasovich lost 213 pound on the Biggest Loser in seven months. Seven months. Lets figure that out. That is almost a pound a day.
He looks great. But we cannot lose weight that fast. It is not healthy for us. Not to mention having to deal with a lot of loose skin.
I have lose over [...]

After being on the new plan 5 weeks and losing 10 pounds, I caught myself getting lazy. I stopped tracking everything that went into my mouth.
I see this week I don’t have a loss so far.
I retraced my tracks, as best I could, since I didn’t have it in writing. I don’t think I went [...]

We all know veggies are great for snacking. But being honest, sometimes I feel like if I eat one more veggie, I am going to sprout a leaf or two.
Sometimes we just want some crunch with flavor. Some little thing out of the ordinary. I started looking into seaweed. Yes, I said seaweed. At first [...]

The air has been stirred in every direction since Weight Watchers changed to the Point Plus System. I know that it got me off the merry-go-rounds I was on and back to losing again.
I went looking for some answers to some of the questions people have been hitting me with about carbs. I found some [...]

After a year on the program, I am finally to the point that eating isn’t my whole world. I used to be consumed with buying and cooking food. Looking forward to events that were centered around food.
Now I look forward to my skinny ankles in the morning. I pick up my crochet hook or take [...]

I have lost 8 pounds in the four weeks since starting the new plan that is coming out the end of November.
All of you know that I had been on a plateau for weeks. I see that 100 pounds lost coming up very soon.
My body is working better on this new plan. I am not [...]

I read a blog this morning that I had to share with you. This person is struggling. I know many of us felt the same way at many points in our life.
“What do you do when you’re losing it?!
Today I woke up with a sense of desperation and depression. I don’t care about anything, I [...]
