Amy I PM'd you back! I may extend my goal as well. I think these sick weeks should not be counted... But thats why I dont own a business I like to cut corners too much. lol

I am feeling much better today. It's snowing here and I am loving it! This is the earliest snow we've had in a while! And the snow brought on my Christmas mood, so the Christmas tree went up today. No decorations yet, that will come next week. DS is loving it!! He is really going to enjoy Christmas this year!

Scale looks to be down so hopefully my Saturday morning WI will reflect a loss and not a gain from my sick-non-POP days!

Wow Kim! I wish it would snow here! How fun. I have been fighting the urge to bust out the xmas decorations for the past few weeks. I am a Christmas fanatic and it seems like every year I get a little more into it! We have an artificial tree so I guess I could get it out whenever I feel like it!

FEEL BETTER!

Hi everyone....Looks like I wont make my Tgiving goal either but I too am going to extend it to the end of the month. For some reason, it seems that when I make specific amount of pounds by a specific date it just never works out even when I am doing what I am supposed to do!

Well the sickness wasnt too hard on me. I was only up .6 today. Which is good. Im still not in the 230's but I am working on it!

Lynn, Sorry I didn't answer you sooner. I tend to use whatever nut we have in the house as a fat. My daughter loves walnuts so that is usually it or unsalted sunflower seeds.

I was to WI this morning but was up most of the night sick. Not able to breathe. I have a bad sinus infection and my ear is starting to hurt. I had a toothache earlier in the week. Got that taken care of until next Tuesday when they will finish a root canal and put on a temp. If I get to go. I can't breathe through my nose and you know know they love to cover your mouth opening with a gate, so we will see about the tooth. I am going to Dr on monday to get antibiotics. Would go to a 24 hour clinic but he told me not to waist my time that last time I told him I was going because he said they won't give out antibiotics. They are from a different school. So I don't know if that is true or he has just been my Dr for so long that he doesn't want anyone else messing with me. Oh well. I like him. He has taken good care of me for a long time and he is around my age.

Anyway with all that rambling, I don't know my weight. I will find out later when I get to feeling good enough to go to the center.

Hang in there. Stay POP for me because it sure isn't happening here. I am asleep to much.

Down 2 more. I will have to lose 3 more by next Saturday if I want to make my "Thanksgiving" goal (really, it is the Saturday after T'giving, because I WI on Saturdays. Talked to the counsellor about if I should go in on Wednesday and we decided I should stick to my Saturday WIs cause then I will be accountable for Thanksgiving. Good idea, cause otherwise I would have the extra 3 days to 'play with' and I have defnitely "been there, done that". LOL

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

I am editing my post because I decided to do a 2 day '"quickie takeoff". Figured it would give me a shot at making my goal of 3 more pounds this week, what with Thanksgiving and all.

Ok went to WI this morning because I wasn't able to go to work. No voice. Going to Dr at 1. Down to 183.6. "So close but yet so far away." Is that how the song goes???? Oh well. I am at least down 4 pounds but that sucks! Wanted to be at 179. I know, my own fault. Didn't want it more than I want all that crap I munched on did I???
I am going back to WI on Wednesday to see where I am before Thanksgiving and maybe it will motivate me to not stuff myself.

Just two pounds shy of my goal - darn it... Oh well, that's 10 pounds less than I was a month ago. Hopefully knowing I am down, I will have more moderation tomorrow... But I also know that I have three entire days until my next w/i, so, maybe a bit more than I would have if I would have w/i on Fri or Sat?? Good luck to the rest of you losers!!

I didnt make my goal either. But I am glad that I do have a loss and not a gain. I am going to extend mine till the end of the month and then I will make myself another goal for Christmas. Are we going to have a Christmas challenge? I think having one will keep me more motivated than not. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Ok Kimberly, we are ready to look toward the New Year Goal. That gives us a month. Get us started on a new thread please. My goal for 1/1/08 is 178 that is a little over 5 pounds. I would be happy with that and I think it is obtainable. I am at 183 now. I would really be happy just to get below 180. Feel I have been in the 180s TOOOOOOOOOOOO long! Happy Thanksgiving ladies.
