Default JANUARY-2010 Thread

So here I sit on the first day of the new year, listening to the rain fall on my bedroom roof. I am so happy about my weight at this point. Although there were better ways to lose it, I'll take it. I had a tonsilectomy 2 weeks ago and in this past two weeks I've lost 12 pounds, simply because I can't eat. However, even though I still feel so rotten, I put on a pair of jeans yesterday that I hadnt worn in two years and a shirt that the last time I remember wearing it, was 2006. And I liked the way I looked. I am looking forward to the new year and I'm excited to start new and fresh with a fresh and happy outlook. I hiope everyone feels this way and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I can't wait until I can feel that same way! I've the program once before, but gained all the weight back after a thyroid surgery. Now that it's a new year it's time to start a new way of eating again....and I'm so excited! I wish everyone lots of success in the year to come! We can do this!

Happy New Year to all!

I am so looking forward to 2010 and the promises it holds for us all. I went to WI yesterday and I'm down a total of 13.5 pounds! I'm so glad I didn't wait till 2010 to start this journey!

I wish the best for everyone in the coming year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY LOSING FRIENDS!!

I went to face the music yesterday so I can get back OP. I was up 5 pounds still, so it's slowly coming down. It just wasn't worth eating off plan, but it was Christmas and wanted to enjoy it as much as we could with some of our family members not being able to make the trip due to the never ending snow storm. I think a little depression set in and that didn't help my constant nibbling on everything I could find. I got back on plan, but last night was a little celebration and tonight we had our SIL here for dinner, so I ate off plan, but not much!!! I know I will get this off and I will be signing the 40 pound board in a couple of weeks. The gym was closed so tomorrow I will get back on excercising again. I need to do both to lose. I am so very proud of all that stayed OP over the Holidays....you have my blessings!!!

HAPPY NEW LOSING YEAR TO ALL
I too am glad the holidays are past us. I stayed OP, but it made me a little depressed to miss out on all of the goodies. I kept telling myself that it was only one year. It's hard to celebrate with others when you're depriving yourself.
It was all good though. I went to WI today and was down 3#. That's a total of 41# lost. I got the sign the 40# board and got another milestone rock. It felt good. Only 13# to goal. It was a great way to start the new year.

I am glad you stayed OP. It makes me feel like I'm not alone. I stayed OP all thru the holidays and felt like I was the only one. I sooooo wanted to cheat Thank you for posting this, next year we will both enjoy a little nibble here and there of all the goodies and not feel so deprived.

I know what you mean. Seems like many were taking a break for the holidays,
I just didn't trust myself to get back OP if I went off. Looks like you are getting close to your goal also. We will get there in the new year. Yeah!!!!

Hello all! I am back! I had my tonsillectomy in November. I ended up with pneumonia TWICE, in the hospital once, then had a stomach virus, and have been sick on and off during the entire month of December. I am going back to the center tomorrow after being gone for about 6 weeks. My doctor finally gave me the okay to get back to MRC simply because I was trying to get well and rebuild my immune system. I am excited to get back going tomorrow. Went to the grocery store today and purchased what I need for the week. Happy New Year to everyone! And, very happy to be back!

Cheers!
