Remembering last Christmas...
Where was everyone last Christmas in their weight loss journey? I just find it amusing that last Christmas i weighed 175. I was eating tons of cookies too! I felt uncomfortable in my clothes and uncomfortable all the way around! I wore one pair of jeans because I refused to buy a size any larger than those...I rubbed a hole in the upper thighs on both sides of the jeans from my big thighs rubbing together. It has been a year and things sure are different. I bought plenty of new jeans--in my new size 0. I have learned how to enjoy healthy food and cut out so many sweets. What a big difference this year is!
Have a wonderful holiday season everyone!

Last Christmas I was one month and a bit post partum. I was glad that I had already lost all the pregnancy weight from my fourth baby, and actually a tad below it! It was a great Christmas though- four kids - my family finally complete, made for the most amazing Christmas ever!

Last Christmas I was one month into my journey, around 215 pounds maybe, and feeling really good about myself!  I look back on it fondly!
This year, my weight is in check and I'm very happy with the progress I've made. However, this Christmas is not a happy one for me. This year my family life is a mess!
So Christmas 2011...I expect to have all my ducks in a row and it WILL be the best Christmas ever.

I was pretty much the same size last Christmas. Hopefully I'll be in my size 8's by the next Christmas.

Last Xmas I was dreading my best friend's wedding that was only a couple weeks away. I was one of her bridesmaids and had to get my size 14 dress let out. . .and it was still too tight. I spent a good chunk of money getting my hair and makeup done so old friends wouldn't notice how much weight I'd gained.
I was also dreading Xmas itself because I spent part of it with my step sister who is a size zero and had a baby shortly beforehand. She also enjoyed pointing out how much better she recovered from having a baby. Ugh.
This year should be infinitely better. :-)

Last Christmas I was still eating a pint of Ben & Jerry's every night and thinking "I probably shouldn't be doing this!" LOL
Made a New Year's resolution for 2010, and dropped from 250 to 236 by March. Then I slacked off (I had a major side project that consumed my attention) and resumed the plan after this Thanksgiving.
I think I can get back to 236 by end of year, to at least reclaim the old progress point.  2011 will be a new deal.

Last Christmas I had just reached my goal! This year I'm celebrating that I'm still at my goal!

Two Christmas' ago, I was 245 pounds and having such terrible asthma that I could barely function. I was exhausted and crying all the time, and had to go buy a pair of big, cheap ugly jeans to wear because my others had worn through the thighs.
Last Christmas I was 189 pounds. Still overweight, but feeling 100% better. The asthma was gone, or nearly so, and I was full of energy and good health.
This Christmas, I am up by about 20 pounds. Still feeling pretty good, but I can feel the sluggishness and lethargy starting to creep in, so it's back to work for me! As far as the actual holiday goes, we are cutting way, way back this year so that has made it much less stressfull.
