Merry Christmas Everyone!!
:santa::hohoho::elf::wreath:

All the best of the season to all of you! 2013 will be a good year for us!!

Merry Christmas Eve! Remember, the best gift you can give yourself is to stay on program today and everyday!!!

Happy Christmas Eve!!! Littlest one was up early so we're watching the Curious George Christmas special, and I'm sipping on a post-exercise Syntrax Nectar Cappuccino :) My house is going to start looking like a GNC if this keeps up, I LOVE the Syntrax drink mixes!

Today's game plan is finishing up the last baking orders (well, one baking order, and one cake pop bouquet for my pastor and his family!), making cutout cookies with the kids, wrapping family gifts with the kids' help, and then I'm singing at two services tonight. I am going to switch lunch and dinner because I'm going to be at church from 4pm to 9pm, and it'll just be easier to bring a bar or snack item than try and pack dinner. Tomorrow will be the same, but only because my in laws are doing Christmas dinner early since I have to work at 3pm.

And in other good news, I've been tracking my meals on MyFitnessPal and it's been saying I'll be BELOW my goal weight in 5 weeks! If that's true, I might actually be phasing off around my birthday!!! That would be an amazing birthday present for myself - a new physique, better health and the first year in a LONG time where weight loss was not on my "to do" list!

Hope everyone has a fantastic holiday!!!

Woo hoo, that is a Happy New Years and Happy Birthday gift all in one! You really deserve this!

Happy Christmas EVE! I was up wrapping until midnight and didn't sleep well. Today is a bit of running around and then to Mom's for Xmas Eve dinner. Tomorrow is the inlaws (OUTLAWS) and our own family Xmas once the kids come back from their various corners.

Enjoy your people- after the events of the past few weeks we need some simple goodness around us.

Merry Christmas Eve!!!!!! I wish everyone hope and luck on these next few days, as we all know how tempting they are to indulge :)

Got an early Xmas present at my WI this morning.....4 lb loss!! Thanks Santa!:santa:

Merry Xmas to you! That's awesome!!!:carrot:

Merry Christmas eve everyone, I hope the holidays are good to everyone!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! It sounds like most of you are planning on a fun, family filled day! We have 2 celebrations done with one to go next weekend. My immediate family already opened gifts 2 weeks ago when my oldest & her husband coud be here, so today & tomorrow it's just relax, play games with my teens, bake if we feel like it... after we get some cleaning done!

I'm on phase 4 but had a bit of a cheat weekend so today is a phase 1 day for me. I learned that when I cheat... I really cheat! I'm up 1 pound but since I'm under my goal I'm not at all stressed. I didn't drink enough water so that would make a 1 lb difference too.

Merry Christmas!!!!

Hello I am new here just wanted to get involved so I can stay accountable to someone. On day 9 today and I definitely look slimmer but Ive chosen not to weigh since TOM is coming. Look forward to meeting you all Ive been reading the old old threads for IP.
