Hey guys, i've been having awful migraines and couldn't exercise as much as i'm used to, so ended up gaining some weight. Not happy at all!
Welcome lisa4621!
alyssarof2012, 23.3 lbs would be very ambitious for me but i know plenty of people on various threads who lose faster than I. I'm a slow loser. It's annoying, sometimes....
Hey, Bllondy, goals don't need to be numeric or weight-related. Exercise goals are great! Oh, and as for me, I am brazilian (which explains my somewhat rusty english), currently living in Curitiba but born and raised in Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais. Growing up i had some american and australian friends. Where did you live here in Brazil?
workinglikeadog, your goal is great! One of my goals is not to binge on the food gifts we get as gifts throught the holiday season... lol.... it may actually be the hardest of my goals.
In my defense, i spent the majority of the last week having migraine crysis and not being able to exercise. Saturday i had a crysis too. Hope they are gone, can't take it anymore.
I went back to my usual exercising and eating routine yesterday and i feel great. Also, today i'll be going to the post office to adopt Xmas letters that poor kids and families write to Santa asking for gifts. I love this project and it marks the beginning of Xmas to me, as it's something i do every year since i was a kid.It starts early so people have time do adopt the letters, buy gifts and get organized.

Marina, that is a great project! And, I'm so glad you are feeling better!
SW: 249.6
CW: 244.2 I actually saw 243.4 over the weekend! Not getting to exercise like I want Hoping to be able to get back on track with that this week!
Marina Brasil, so glad to have seen you on here!! My Portuguese is rusty (haven't been back since 2005) but I sure do miss Brazil.. I grew up in Juazeiro do Norte and Crato, both in Ceara. I went to school (boarding school) in Fortaleza. You know, one of the things I miss the most about Brazil is all the fresh fruit and vegetables. I miss going out to our backyard and getting a goiaba from the tree back there. I also miss siriguelas. I also miss pasteis and coxinhas.. hahaha..
Ok, sorry. This is supposed to be a goal setting forum. My goal of joining the rec center is all I'm going to make so far because one thing I do is set too many goals and then get overwhelmed and give up. So, one at a time for me. Hope all you ladies reach your goals!! have a blessed day!
Marina, I can relate to your quote- "One of my goals is not to binge on the food gifts we get as gifts throught the holiday season... lol.... it may actually be the hardest of my goals." This WAS the reason I gained weight last x-mas season. I was overeating on sweets and pm snaking to the tune of 10 pounds in one month. I was reminded by another chickie to eat a high protein mid afternoon snack(so no sweets). I am on guard and losing at this point, so am wishing you power over x-mas sweets this season.
Nov 1st - No pm snacking.
2nd - No pm snacking.

Alyssa, it's, pretty much, whatever works best for you. Daily check-ins keep me motivated and accountable.....even when the scales are up and I've done everything right. Plus, it gives you a way to vent the downs and rejoice the ups. But, not everyone is wired like me and some people may get sick of reading my posts. LOL!
Hey, I would like to join if its not to late. My reporting day is Monday, however I am a daily weigher... My goal weight for XMAS (Dec 22 for Monday) is 185.0.
