Pixikat... I know that this Christmas weight is not as good as last year... but you are a year stronger and a year closer to graduation (School) and a year wiser. Maybe the scale does not show a happy number... but I know that I am happier and feel more wealthy meeting you (and everyone else) on this forum. You are AMAZING!

Lulu...

ooohhhh you are down another lb! HOORAY! that much closer to your ultimate goal (and you can do it!) Just 21 lbs to go and that you will whittle off before you know it! Just think what you are going to weigh by 7/4!

I woke up to my lowest number (back to it!) So my Christmas party weight from last week is gone and last nights party... all I ate was a piece of Roast Beef and Ham and drank water...

Nothing new to report...I really can't believe the scale has been so good to me...

Sue - so glad the party weight is gone!!! Hooray!! And thanks for reminding me about July!! It's my birthday month and I hope to be at goal by my 49th birthday!!!

Pixi - I agree with Sue - you are on the right track!! Lessons learned...1 year ago I was beginning again too - except it took me 10 years to get back on track!! You WILL do it!!!

My husband thinks I am losing weight too fast!!! It's fascinating to me to get a different perspective. My calculations are 49 weeks, 52 pounds or 1.06 pounds per week average - not exactly a lightning pace as far as I am concerned.

Wishing everyone an on plan day!!! Be kind to yourself over the holidays - they can be very stressful!!

wannaskipandlaugh · 12-23-2013, 07:31 AM

Joyous Christmas EVE EVE to you all! I hope that ALL Presents are bought so that you can now spend time being with your loved ones and not stressed!

Lulu - your plan of 1 lb a week is so good (that is what I have been averaging these last few months - because I have not been perfect and aren't we that way in life too?) OH I will be watching and cheering you making your goal by your birthday!

I am happy!... OFFICIALLY I am 75 lbs off! Now onto 1/2 way!

lulu an avg of a pound a week is a great pace to aim for, not to slow, not to fast, just remember many people slow down close to goal so it may take longer. I will keep my finger crossed for the date you are aiming for though!

Sue you are catching up! See I told you you would likely beat me to the 230s

so that cheese sauce was really good, I couldn't really get the consistancy they had but it was probably from more stirring from people digging into it. I tried 1/2lb of each of the ingredients and I would definately recommend going a little easier on the butter as there was definitely butter that wasn't mixing all the way in. We dipped celery in it, and put it on cauliflower and later on broccoli and it worked deliciously each time. With the celery we added some saracha sauce to give it a slight kick. It does have a slightly different consistency once it cools down and you warm it back up, but not by much. Over all it gets 2 thumbs up.

Today I begin again at 1.7.8. - not liking the scale but had a very nice Christmas! I have a date with the elliptical today!!

sarahinparis · 12-26-2013, 06:28 AM

I've been dreading checking back in here, but here goes...

I had a lovely and reasonable couple days leading up to Christmas. Started with carbs a little earlier than planned but still very much in control. The meal I'd been fearing actually would have been totally manageable low carb, which I need to remember for last year. Yesterday was over the top, not quite crazy-time, but way more than I needed for enjoyment or for satisfaction. I did choose well one meal, but then dinner was downhill again. Today, back on track, very tight induction for the next several days, really hoping these extra pounds are carb bloat and not hard-to-move fat. But whatever it is, I will tackle it.

So now this is a real, personal challenge for me to get back to my pre-Christmas weight (or at least the goal weight for this challenge) in the next few days

1.7.8 - Please excuse me for not changing my ticker - I'm not planning on keeping this weight for too long! Elliptical was great yesterday and I ate under my calorie goal but high carb as sweet potato soufflé is still at my house. It will be gone today!! I went shopping with my sister yesterday and fit into every 14 I tried - it was all window shopping to keep me on track. Tried on sneakers too - i fit into a 9 instead of 9 1/2 - anyone else go down in shoe size?? Still trying to be under 175 for this challenge but know I may not match my ticker again for a little bit..... Happy Friday...wishing everyone on-plan and downdowndown!!!
