I had a 2 pound gain at weigh-in last night. But I was expecting it. I knew that some of that 4 pounds from last week was just from having the flu and being dehydrated. But 2 pounds of it was honest to goodness loss so I'll be happy about that. And I'm back on track for the coming week. I have to go back and see where I started but I do believe I'm down about 5 pounds with 5 pounds to go for my Yule Challenge.

Cathryn, I'm a slow loser, too. But when I finally manage to get it off, it tends to stay off. So that's okay. Slow and steady wins the race!

I'm focusing on not gaining any extra over the holidays.

I'm back to eating vegetarian throughout the week and trying to stick with WW recipes so I know they will be lower in fat, etc.

I am also going to challenge myself to get some outdoor exercise this winter as I have a tendency to hibernate when I get home or not want to go out on the weekends. I must resist the urge to snuggle under a blanket if front of the tv!

I'm not even going to bother weighing in tomorrow. I've been sick since Sunday, started off with a viral cough thing that's now a head cold. And on top of that, TOM was late and vicious.
SO, I'm probably going to be crazy busy this weekend to catch up on everything. Including exercise! I don't think I could have done anything even if I had the will.
Later ladies

Hope you are feeling better soon canfield!

Thank you! I'm FINALLY feeling more like myself! I was able to work out for the first time in over a week, still coughing a bit, but I wasn't winded so that's a plus
Hope everyone else is doing well, how is the weather treating you? Seems to be pretty nasty most everywhere

Well, how is everyone doing? Yule is inching up on us, two weeks left.
I didn't weigh in, but I'm back at 219.............if I can maintain and not gain then I'll be happy. Still keeping up with my goals as best as I can, still had a bit of a cough this past week. Feeling much better and now getting busier! Been having some computer problems so I don't know how much I'll be on.
Hope everyone is doing well!!!!!!!!!

I hear ya canfield! I'm focusing on maintaining my current weight over the holidays and not gaining, then starting my new plan of attack in January.

Well this has been harder than I thought, with the holidays it just seems like there is no time to keep but with a constant routine, but I am managing to loose a litte. So right now I am at the point if I can keep from gaining I will be doing good.

It sounds as if you're doing fine. Really. Keep up the good work.

Keep at it Jewell!

Put my walking shoes on and took a cautious one-hour walk on a flat trail nearby. I also wrote down everything I ate, stayed on program, and was good about drinking water and herbal tea (getting enough water is a problem for me). It was kind of easy because I did not have to go out to report a deposition today.

Even better, I planned for tomorrow. I have my walking clothes ready. I have to drive a fair distance to take depositions between 12:00 and 3:00, meaning I have to kind of finesse lunch; I'm going to pack one for the car. Ah well.

Better yet, I am already planning for tomorrow.

Way to go!

Slowly but surely pulling it back together (sigh).
