My hubby is super supportive, he doesn't care if I drink or not. The problem is part of the vacay is us both playing in the World Series of Beer Pong in Vegas. We can play with water in the cups, but almost everyone around us will be drinking.
I just have to decide how to best prepare myself for success.
OH wow......WELL if you drink water you will be the most sober one there......lol...sounds like fun!
Great post, great advice. I'm planning to stay OP, hoping to reach my goal by the end of January. Thanks for the inspiration and please msg me or post that cauliflower dressing recipe or point me in the right direction if you've posted already. I'm guessing it's riced cauliflower made into rice dressing??? sounds yummy! Congrats to you for all you've accomplished and continue to do.
Thank you Wuv for sharing. I plan on staying OP during the holiday season. At times I think, well maybe I will come off for just dessert but it will not be worth it. Time to get creative with the cauliflower and puddings!
I'm so glad that I got to read your post today! It's the first posting I've read ever on 3FCOAD AND I just re-committed to IP today! I'm in awe of your success and will not forget your story! I had done IP from Feb of 2010 to August 2010 losing 49.5 lbs. I had to quit due to some intestinal problems and had a surgery to correct my problem. Now I'm back...but I've gained it all back PLUS some. So I re-joined today at 274 lbs. I'm so excited to be back! I feel like I've just passed "GO" and I will collect $200 (but instead of money, it will be years added to my life!! Thanks for sharing your inspirational life-changing story!
I'll still be in Phase 1 for Thanksgiving but it should be NO problem!! We always rent a beach place with a kitchen for the Turkey Day holiday. We bring all our food anyway except for our traditional Saturday morning Razor Clams breakfast at a restaurant we've been going to for like 30 years. And when I order it this year I'll just have them sub out the potatoes and toast for steamed veggies, the eggs will be fine, order the razor clams not breaded and I won't have my traditional fresh squeezed OJ. Breakfast will be my non-IP meal of the day that day. I will not deny myself my annual Razor Clam breakfast!!!!
Also looking forward to the beach walks with the pup and hubby. We put in 7-10 mile days without even thinking about it.

Wow! Thanksgiving on the beach <sigh>
I usually have Christmas on the beach but this year Christmas is our travel day so no Christmas eve/Christmas on the beach. However, NEW YEARS! That will be a beach time. We'll be in FL
We usually end the year with lobster. I'll be able to do that & I'm thinking Rainbow's Crab Soup will be a great Year-starter!
It will just be me and my bf for Thanksgiving so it will be easy. He's not a fan of turkey though so I will have my daily 8oz of protein covered for a while

OMG I've heard everything now! The World Series of Beer Pong??? You HAVE to give us a link to some posts or something! I wanna SEE this for myself!
Thanks for making me smile.
This is a great post/thread! Thanks, Wuv for starting it. I'll be staying OP during the holidays. I've come too far to let myself slip up. And the food ideas you shared are wonderful. It really shows that it can be done.
