I know just what you mean Sun. I went to function at church last night. Got a little food happy an now I am dreading going to my husband's Christmas party tonight. Ugghh. I just need like two solid weeks, of no crazy food. I haven't found that self control button yet. Until I do, all I can do is pick myself up, dust myself off and get back on track.

Holidays are so hard. I have a really hard time because a lot of foods you only get to eat on special occasions are served. Its hard not to indulge in treats you only get to have once a year

159.2 this morning. Still waiting to see if it stays down, I want to stay on this thread because the other one doesn't seem active, lol.

unstoppable how did you do at the xmas party?I totally want to get a good two weeks of good clean eating. Damn holidays lol

ATG i feel the same way. That its all this yummy food and great times with friends. sigh gonna have to really try and get on the treadmill.

So i was NOT good today. had a candy bar and some mike and ikes. blah! tomorrow starts a new week. I have a potluck brunch with my gfs. I made vegetable pastries. Since they are deep fried I baked some for me a friend who is also on WW. There will be fruit salad so I will load up on that and the veggie salad too. here we go!

Hello ladies. So today I had a xmas brunch and I had a little of everything. But not a lot so I am satisfied. I also did the first day of c25k and I feel great. Even thought its 1 in the morning!. Heading to bed. night

174.5 this morning!!! Not sure where that came from!! But I'm psyched! With a Christmas party today and a vacation next week... Hopefully I won't gain too much!

175.7 lbs today! I plan to avoid the scale until.. either next Sunday or the Sunday after (xmas!). Trying a new short term program and I think avoiding the scale would help.

This Christmas party was ok. Had a little of a few things. I definitely drank way too much. Weighed in at 170.2 this morning. Not too bad.

Congrats allthatglitters. Congrats everyone. Can't wait for these holidays to be over!!!!

I agree! I love the holidays but hate trying to figure out how to turn dowm treats without sounding rude.

Hey All!

I am still hanging around 161-162 (not less yet), but NSV...I have less back fat. I mean, if I could really nail down my weight loss goal to one physical thing, it would be no more rolls! No more back rolls, no more stomach rolls....and when I checked myself out in the mirror yesterday, I noticed one of rolls was a little less lol. TMI? But oh yeah!

SO...my goal is still 159 by Christmas. I am going to do South Beach Phase I for 5 days and see if that will kick start the scale into the 150s. After that, I'm w/ ATG...everybody seems to be on fire here (I saw everybody's posts on avoiding holiday treats at parties - good for you all!!), so I think I'll stick around this thread until I am able to stay in the 150's for a little a little while...I'm expecting some bouncing around, esp. with the holidays in full swing

My weight has been all over the place! I seriously weighed 179 a few days ago! I was puffy all over so I know it was water retention.

I am 176.2 today.. Still frustrated at my slow weight loss. Hopefully it starts dropping at a steady rate now.

FUN - hang in there girlie! I know what you mean about the bloat. I never know where the scale is going to end up - it's ALWAYS a surprise lol. BUT...after a while it'll come down, you know it ;-) Just stay the course.

I just read your "roll" post.. Way to go!!! I have TONS of back fat but it's funny, all my rolls on my left side have gone, but my right side still has 2 rolls LOL They use to be even.. maybe that's what's next on my body's agenda!!!

and.. 175.8 this mornin'!! Yeah!! Gotta keep it up and put some extra effort in. Calories have been higher than I'd like lately.

Um....excuse me Ms. FunSize....didn't you come into this forum less than a month ago right under 180? That is FABULOUS! Keep trucking.

"Rolls on the left, rolls on the right".....we can make a sfc song out of this kind of material lol That is strange though...in time they'll all go away.

I am MAJORLY stalling and starting to get impatient. I mean I"m doing all the right things..eating brownies and coffee cake, and Popeyes chicken...not sure what the issue is :-P but my calories have been really low, and I've been getting some exercise. I think I just have to take the sodium out of my diet.

WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING TO LOSE WEIGHT?I'm calorie counting (~1100-1400/day) w/ light exercise.

OMG ladies. I have been sooo bad. ugh. I NEED to stop eating fatty food. I have had so many parties and get togethers. anyways needless to say I am up a bit. Anyways I don't have many parties left and I am starting tomorrow on a very clean cuisine You all are doing great!
