Today was day 6 for me also. I made a pumpkin pie smoothie with the butterscoth pudding (just added water and pumpkin pie seasoning and a splenda packet-it was delish)
I am slowly acquiring a taste for the food...most of them taste mediciny to me

I had similar experience, but slowly I introduced each item, now I have my favs!
There's some items I cannot stomach at all.
I think it's very personal and according to our own taste buds.

I'm looking forward to Christmas and new year, love to feel lighter :)

I am down 1.6 since joining this challenge. With 18 days left until Christmas I will be very happy if I can lose another 8.4 by then! If not, I at least hope to get there by the end of the year.

Down 9 .5 since beginning of dec, hoping to make ten more before the holidays.
Keep up the good work everyone:carrot:

Man these last 5 lbs are the hardest. I keep bouncing around and can't get fully back on track. I haven't gone completely off the deep end, like I normally do, but it's enough that it's gonna be difficult to be down 5 by Christmas, and I'm running out of time, so I need to recommit and get back at it!

KNM, you're so close. You'll get there! :D

Thanks OohLexi! I know I can do it if I just commit, it's just so hard this time of year. I tell myself I can eat it all next year or even in a couple months, but I have so little self control, it's super difficult to get past the cravings!

I'm in!

You can get there for sure, 18 days, 2 and half weeks, I believe you'll be very pleased... Keep going :)

Oh KNM so close you are, you'll get there, probably avoiding restricted packets can help a bit, or drinking more water... Sometimes it's like playing around, tweaking here and there, good luck to you, you'll get there :carrot:

Welcome Idaho girl!
We kinda have the same stats!
If you want to work together we can, PM me if you would!
Same high here too :)

How's everyone's Xmas progress going?
I'm down 16 lbs since I started in November. Pretty proud!
On my way for Xmas

It's going! But it's hard at work with so many things around and the cold weather :( I just have to keep going and going... Congrats in the loss, 16 lbs is awesome, you'll kill those Christmas clothes :)

[QUOTE=Avalon1957;4897717]In the past 9 days, I've lost 3.75 pounds! (Avg loss in Dec. so far is 0.42 lbs/day.)

Way to go Avalon! Today was great for me but I cannot weight yet since TOM is visiting. I should be able to get down 10 lbs by Christmas :carrot: so exciting!
