So very off the wagon today, but tomorrow I'll be good again. Starting the day with a bacon and cheese omelet did me in! Bran flakes will fix me in the morning.

Liz, congrats on your NSV! That's a fun one! Good luck with the puppy and the tree- that's definitely gonna be a challenge! My girl never bothered the tree on purpose, but over the years we've lost an awful lot of ornaments to the wagging tail. LOL!

Mel, yep, weekends are always tougher! Here's to an OP Monday! Oh, and btw, GO EAGLES!

Auntie- I saw online that we lost, but I missed the game bc I was watching Christmas movies lol My weekend was not a good food weekend but OP so far

We made Christmas cookies yesterday and they are sitting in my kitchen...yummy sugar cookies with icing ahhhh! I want them out of my house bc I want to eat them....must...stay...strong lol

We got more snow last night and the kids are off school bc of it. They want to go outside so I guess we will get bundled up and freeze for awhile.

Mel, it was a great game! Lots of back and forth, not knowing what was gonna happen. Of course, I fell asleep right at the end, but I was happy with the outcome when I woke up! Stay away from those cookies and go build a snowman!

I'm back OP today, will stay on til the weekend... DH wants a fancy pancake breakfast for his b-day, then it's my niece's b-day party, then out to dinner- rough food-y Saturday ahead! Maybe I should skip the fudge making... But I probably won't. Groan...

Happy Monday!
As I read your posts, I'm realizing that I need to learn all of your lingo. haha I assume that WL means weight loss...but what is NSV and OP?

Thank you all for your reply and advise on my previous post about becoming mentally ready to begin my new diet! Definitely some good advise was given and I thank you all!!!

If you dont mind my asking, what weight loss changes are you all currently on? Any specific diets or secrets that you have find to be successful?

Have a great day!
Tara

Tara- OP means On Point (with your diet) and NSV is a Non Scale Victory (like fitting into a new pair of jeans or getting a compliment).

I am currently just staying under 1,469 calories a day and eating better all the way around!

Mel, I was up from Saturday, too, with the off plan weekend, but at this point, I'll be happy if I just break even for the next couple weeks. There really is too much temptation, and holding it to the weekends seems like a fair deal. But I hope you do make 195 this WI!

Tara, I'm just doing Weight Watchers at home with the materials from the last time I went to meetings, which was 5 years ago. I know things have changed a lot, so if you're joining in January, I'd love to hear what's new there! It's just not in the budget for me to go to meetings right now, and the old stuff works, so that's what I'm doing. I try to focus on things with a lot of fiber, cause then I feel full and don't feel like I'm getting ripped off! LOL!

Off to wrap a few presents before How I Met Your Mother comes on. Have a good one!

Morning All ....sorry I have been MIA for a few days...had a great weekend, made some white choc covered pretzels and some chex mix for work...and have some myself of course....

Auntie G - you are doing so well, congrats on that 5 pd loss...You are indeed putting me to shame....dont worry about the weekend throwing you off, you will get back on ...

Mel - hope you hit 195 this weekend, fingers crossed

Hi to Arabella, Liz, and Tara

Nothing too exciting is going on here ...still just trying to maintain my weight and not gain any until after Christmas...it is a funny thing because when I am not being restrictive I tend not to eat as much, not obsessing so much...I think Arabella said something about that way of eating a while ago....oh well it is interesting....hope you all have a great day !!!

Hey ladies!!

Tara - I am counting calories and trying to be more active. I am eating around 1500 calories a day right now - I am also nursing my 10 month old, so that is contributing to my loss, that's for sure!

Carri - Would that be considered intuititive eating? I was wondering about that, I don't think it would work for me though.

auntie g - How did the wrapping go? I have so much wrapping to do, UGH!

Things have been busy around here - just like everyone. Staying on plan, though, I saw 162.8 this morning. Hope everybody has a great day!

Hi girlies! I seem to be a little PMS-y and can't stop thinking about chocolate. Super bad timing for that, what with all the chocolate everywhere this time of year! I had a little tiny glass of wine to calm me down, and it did seem to take away the chocolate craving, too, so maybe that's what I need to do for a few days.

Carri, thanks for the congrats, but I'm not definitely not getting anywhere this week! And most likely not next week either. After Christmas, it's ON! LOL! BL finale tonight - yay - but I sure wish it was coming on at 8 instead of 9. These late nights are not helping matters!

Liz, my wrapping isn't moving very fast. I keep all the gifts and wrapping supplies in the attic, and there's no heat up there, so I try to go get a couple things done at a time, but I can't stay up there long. I'm going to have to throw on some layers and make a go of it one day SOON! Hope yours is coming along!

Mel, yay for another OP day for you!

Hi Arabella and Tara!

Off to the North Pole for another quick wrapping hit...

Auntie- good luck with the wrapping and yay for staying away from chocolate!

I was under calories yesterday but those darn cookies got the best of me But I gave the rest to the kids so they are gone! I am not letting anything else in this house!
I am about to go to Logan's preschool for his Christmas party so I will talk to you all later Have a great day ladies!

Morning All - still very cold here and we are expecting a Wintry Mix ( as they call it haha ) overnight and early tomorrow ...so should be another great drive into work. But I love all seasons ( even Winter ) so I just grin and bear it.

Auntie G - So I knew he was going to win Biggest Loser, I am excited about seeing the next season though, and glad it starts back so quickly and around the time I need motivation. I dont know how I feel about the two new trainers though. It also hurt me to stay up that late too, I didnt even get into bed until 11;30 and then laid there till after midnight before I got to sleep.

Mel - great job for staying under calories and having cookies...I could never do it.

Tara - Did you watch BL last night? I know you dont normally watch it but I wanted you to see the last one...you might wanna start watching in January, looks to be a good season.

Liz - Hi !! Yeah the intuitive eating wouldnt work long term for me either cause I am sure I would still eat more calories than I need, but nice thought for the holiday eating, haha.

Arabella - Hi, how is the weather up there?

Well better get back to work...need to run out at lunch and get some stamps to mail out my Christmas cards, wanna get them out before Christmas....

Have a great day!

Carri
