Hi all. Well the dinner went pretty well. I limited myself to a small Tamale dinner and was quite satisfied afterward. Then we had the gift exchange and all had a good time. Now it's getting ready to visit the family in Texas for Christmas and I'll be home free after that.

Rosetta your doing fine. Even I cannot resist a piece of chocolate now and then. It is my true weakness.

Rosey I must say you are in the holiday spirit. I love Christmas too. I just wish I had more time to prepare this year.

Hope everyone else is doing fine and we hear from you all soon.
Deb

Rosetta: I'm glad to hear that you had such good news from your doctor . A few pieces of chocolate won't set you back

Deb: Glad to hear your enjoyed your dinner. Have a nice visit with your family

Rosey: You have a great perspective on celebrating the season. Hope your knee is healing well

I got more good news yesterday. My ortho dr. is finally going to put me in a walking cast in a few more weeks I'm looking forward to it!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Hi, there. My day started out lousy. Got hit by a pick pocket on the bus on the way to work and lost my wallet. Have spent the whole morning calling the police and the credit card companies. Am really stressed out. Anyone got a Valium! Anyway, will try not to turn this into an excuse for a food fest.

Deb, glad you had a good time at your dinner. I know you can make it through the trip home okay.

Joanne - what good news - yay! You've been doing pretty well anyway, but what a difference.

Have a nice weekend.

I had another party today, lots of yummy food but i stuck to a salad, some healthy chicken and a few small new potatoes

I think I will be able to handle Christmas Day.

I just added one of those ticker thingys to my siggy and I love it!! They are so neat!

I have been to the dietician, she is pretty happy with what i have been eating but has told me I must eat more carbs. I am still losing about 2 pounds a week which is nice but I fully expect it may slow down

Well i just weighed and measured myself and this past week i have lost .8kg (1.76 pounds)

I have also lost 8cm this week!! This is going to be a great Christmas and worth all the sacrifice!!!

Good Morning Man miss a couple of days and the posts go crazy.

Rosetta I'm sorry you got hit on the bus. What a creep. But glad you are focused and not going to let it spoil all your hard work. Just be careful of your readings, as stress can be a real bummer on your readings. Try doing something soothing like a long bubble bath by candel light, even a glass of wine might be nice. Love you girl and hang tough.

Rosey I can tell you are a regular Misses Clause. I'm glad your having so much fun for the hoildays. And also glad the knee is doing much better.

Homebound a walking cast Yipee I know your ready to do flips. What a great Christmas present.

Loofah My hats off to you for making the good choices on food. It always makes us feel good inside when we know we are doing the right things, and your doing great.

Pat I hope your kitty is doing better. Mine came home with a leg all cut up yesterday. He's a tom and sometimes tends to get into trouble. But he was happy to sleep at the foot of my bed a soak up all the attention last night. But I'm still a litte worried about the leg. As for you make sure your putting good carbs into the diet. And some high fiber should help with that cholesterol and triglycerides.

Well guess I'm doing fine and got a little winded so I'm out till later.
Hugs to all.
Deb

Hello all! Well, i am glad to see I am not the only one struggling. I have to repeat my blood work, but have been putting it off until Jan. I can tell when I have too much sugar though, I get a massive headache...ugh!!
Happy holidays all!!!

Hi all. Well, I had a bad weekend. All stressed, depressed and angry at what happened and all the aggravation I'm going through. Have to spend Christmas Eve at the Dept. of Motor Vehicles getting a new I.D. Had to go to Macy's Saturday to mail an xmas gift and realized I couldn't do any shopping because all my credit cards are cancelled. Fortunately I had already completed my gift shopping, but there is always something I want for myself...o well. Friday night I was feeling so sorry for myself so I bought a piece of good cheese and a bunch of fresh dungeness crab meat and had a big salad with lots of blue cheese dressing. needless to say I didn't want to weigh myself the next morning, so I didn't. yesterday I wanted to pig out, but was to anxious to eat so was somewhat controlled (except for the 4 chocolate truffles I scarfed down). I tried to make up it all today by bringing Slimfast for lunch, but then had to go out on an errand and there was the deli... Well, Scarlett, tomorrow is another day. :sball2:

Deb and Pat - sorry about your kitties. Deb, keep an I on that leg and hope it doesn't get infected. I had a tom who used to get in fights. finally had to get him fixed after he came home with a broken pallet.

Rosey - you must be a really fun person to be around at holiday time. Keep up your good spirits!

H - Stay away from that sugar.

Loofah - great going. keep it up.

JUST WANT TO POP IN AND WISH EVERYONE HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

i am sure we are all busy. just remember moderation. think we will all do fine. pat

Yep we can do this!! This year I am NOT going to be stuffed full of food at Christmas lunch LOL

Let your plate be lite.

From now on our outfits will go down in size.

Hi! I haven't posted for a while.
My weight hasn't moved much but, mu bp is great and I'm working on my eating liter so my #s will come down, especially in the morning.

I found out that my also round type2 cousin -her terory, eat the dessert & just take another pill - can no longer tie her own shoes or hook her bra.
She is prob less weight than I; but, short. Gave me a reason to get to work.

Have a wonderful Christmas full of love & laughter.
Glad to be able to share Jesus birthday with him.
May God's angels watch over you.
Carol :merry:

Deb, Pat, Joanne, Carol, H, Loofah, Rosey, Donna and everyone else who has posted here these last few months. Have a wonderful Christmas, keep the faith and talk to you next week. :merry:
