minidoodles- Way to go on the half-pound loss! 1,750 calories gone off your bum forever! Your deserts sound yummy. I am especially intrigued by the idea of diet red pop raspberry jello...hmmm. I have been searching for some good low cal desert recipes, because there is no way I will live the rest of my life without my deserts!

Yesterday walked 3 miles, day before walked 2. So I have hit my 5 mile goal for this week. Must up goal next week.

Suckered one of my friends into walking a 7 mile or so trail this coming Saturday. *muahahaha*

Hi Lobon! Sorry to hear about your back. And way to go with maintaining! Good luck with this week.

miniDoodles- I know. Michigan weather is no fun. Earlier today it was 55 and raining, tonight it's supposed to get down to freezing. *sigh* Is it March yet?

ha, im right around the corner in ohio. i play tennis indoors and run dressed like a marshmellow...

im starting back on exercising slowly. i played a light doubles tennis match ~2 hours Saturday and today I walked a couple of miles on the treadmill on incline. Nice and easy. How are you guys doing?

I Luv the holidays but whyyyy so much rich foods I keep yo-yoing A birthday party---no diet/healthy foods there...And a Christmas party over the weekend
If I was not checking-in & trying to loose more fat, I would Definitely be putting on 5# this month, with that being said 'I Am Sooo Happy to B @ 3FatChicks
Merry Christmas Girls! Dee

dee just make the best out of the parties- eat before you head over, bring some healthy food to the party with you, and/or enjoy some of the rich foods just keep your portions small. we can do it!

ok, I had my TOPS WI today I've yo-yo'd all month from the holiday parties, brunches & baking sweets. Now I Must loose @ least 1#-2# between now & New Year's Eve, to party
to everybody who has lost this month & kept it off.

Hello

Not sure if anyone is still here but I wanted to apologize for leaving the challenge without notice and letting the team down I actually gained on my leave of absence but working again on losing it.

Hope everyone is doing well
