Things are going well here..I do have 2 sick kids at home today :(
Thankfully hubby, baby, and I are not ill yet. I hope we can stay clear of it.
I got to take my weight tracker down 1lb today WOOHOOO that sure felt good. I have been diong well. I am kinda inching my way to "maintanence calories" and that way I can do the last few pounds slowly. I think I am going to aim for 155/160 for a final goal. I saw a picture of myself from 11 years ago at 160, and I am a "good size" in that pic. I liked it, and hubby said that it would be ok with him if I got to 160. Anything under that I think he will panic....as he has been nervous during this past 15lb loss.....he likes "meaty" women...lol I am still plenty "meaty" I keep telling him. He gives me plenty of support, and helps keep me in check.

I'm just slowly getting unmotivated already! It totally sucks b/c I was really doing good and all of a sudden I'm like I'll ea what I want when I want! It sucks! I need major help here . . . like somebody to stand over me and say "are you really hungry tight now? Do you need that much?" HELP!

Just popping in for a real quick post ... still having computer problems - I did buy a new computer but alas have not hooked it up as of yet. Busy getting stuff ready to go downstate for Christmas so will probably wait until we come home after Christmas to hook it up.

Well, it sounds like we all are "slipping" a bit on our diet programs ... (except for a couple of you -- Sharon, gonna loose it ... good job) ... I just want to say don't fret about it just try has best you can and you will get back on program ... Allen's mom: Just keep on trying each new day ... if you slip up don't give up .. just keep on keep on. You'll get back motivated again! We all slip up .. but we just keep on trying - eventually we are going to get to where we want to be!

OK .. off to bed for me. Had a big nite tonight and I'm really tired. Psst... it was my birthday and hubby took me out for dinner and we went to the casino.

Hope to talk to ya all before we leave Saturday morning for downstate ... But just in case MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!

Love, CJ

Ok, yay me! I weighed myself today and I'm down a pound! So Ilost that 1/2lb I gained plus another 1/2lb! Wee hoo!

Hi all!
 

Hi everyone,
How is everyone doing? I hope great. I have been trying to hang on, but have been going up and down and down and up weightwise. Last week I lost 5 lbs, than this week I gained 5.2 lbs so up and down but I am trying and if I can just even stay the same than that will be ok. I am trying to drink my water and eat right, it is just so hard during the holidays, and my exercise is lacking this week, but I will try to hold on. I am going 100 miles an hour and when I don't have my routine things fall apart. But hey all I can do is try my best. :tantrum:

CJ-Happy Belated Birthday:hb: I hope you had a wonderful birthday dinner with Dick. Hope you won big time on your birthday, what a great present that would be.

Gonnabe 150-I love the note you posted about your Christmas cards, in fact I just got mine out yesterday. I wasn't going to send any, but they started coming in and I really wanted to send them so I went ahead and did. Now they are done and I can concentrate on wrapping my gifts and getting a few last minute things I need. I'll be you are ready for Christmas, I never am, but somehow it all gets done in time. Now CJ is amazing, I don't know how she does it, but she does and does it early too. Maybe one of these years I will be that way, but not so far. LOL :stress:

Brandy-Hey don't worry about your weight, look at me I am not doing that great, but I figure we do what we can and get back to what we were doing after the New Years. We are here for her, let's just hang on and all will be back to normal soon. :flow1:

Sylvia-Thanks for the great Christmas card with the picture of that cute little Nico on it. I just loved it and yours is on it's way I promise. Have a wonderful Christmas, it should be fun this year with your son. :present:

mazarin-Merry Christmas to you too, thanks for taking the time to post and wishing us a good Christmas. :clause:

gonnaloseitagain-Sorry about your 2 sick kids, I hope they get better soon and can enjoy the holiday. Great job on your weight loss, keep up the good work. :carrot:

teahoney-No I wouldn't weigh myself during my time of the month, it would make me feel bad. Hope you are feeling much better, it is no fun being sick during the holidays. :snowglo:

allensmom-I too have just wanted to eat, so I try to eat good things for me, but somehow I want the junk lately. LOL But just take it a day at a time as i am trying to do. We will get though this I just know it. You did good with that pound weight loss, give youself a pat on the back. :dance:

Peggy-Where are you, hope things are going good for you. You must be just so busy with the holidays, hope to hear from you soon, when you can post. :comp:

Well guys, time to get off here. Everyone have a Merry Christmas. :hohoho: Love you, Sassy Sharon

I'm doing really good now. For a snack tow nights ago I had tuna, and last night I had a turkey sandwich. Bad today b/c I only had a Coke for breakfast as I ran out the door! Now I'm super hungry!
So lets all be good this weekend and have great things to tell after the holiday meals are over! Merry Christmas everybody!

On my way to bed now .. we had a late dinner with friends before heading downstate in the morning ... I didn't eat much but did have 2 kaluha coffee drinks w/whip cream ... mmmmm good - probably why I didn't eat much .. lol. I just want to wish everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS ... do the best you can on your programs but enjoy the day with your family .. Monday can be a new start!

So - be safe - be merry - be happy - have a wonderful weekend! See you on Monday!

Love, CJ

I am sitting in our motel room waiting to leave to go to breakfast with friends then on to our sons house for christmas with the family but wanted to tell you what I got from hubby last nite for christmas - I'm typing to you right now on it - a laptop computer! Boy, I am totally blown away - I must have been really really good eh?!! This is sooooo neat! Well, hope you all have a great day. Talk to you soon.

CJ - a laptop...you lucky lady!!!!!!! Guess you don't have to rush setting up the other new one :D.

Sassy Sharon - LOL about the cards. You know...I did get the cards all ready to go, but didn't have stamps. Sooooo, guess what's sitting on the dash of my truck still waiting to get mailed :lol:. I hear ya on the routine. I need one or like you my day falls apart. I'm sure once the holiday rush is over, it will be easier for all of us to refocus on diet, health, etc.

Hi Sherry!! Can't wait to get to know you & Debbie!

Have a great night everyone!

Well, I jumped into a couple old habits for the last 2 days but I am back on track again today. Sometimes those seasonal goodies are just TOOOOOO TEMPTING. But I managed to not make it 3 days and then Christmas Eve, I gave in a little, and that was it, by yesterday I was GRAZING at the snack table off and on all day. GRRRR. But I stopped and have managed to get a handle on things again.

Just dropping in to say that I am down 1.5 this week. Go me!!!

Hello :wave:

I'm looking forward to being back and getting to know the newbies here! I used to post a long time ago here.I have missed everyone and decided to come back!! :)

I have updated my BIO. I can't believe how many different things that needed to be changed since my last post here.I'm the moderator for another forum but I'm slowly disapperaing there. I have really missed my friends here.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I can't wait to get my house back to normal! I'm ready for the tree & all to come down! :lol:

My Son who is in the Navy came home on leave on Christmas Day. He goes back Monday. I have really enjoyed him being home!!

I'm going back on my diet the first of the year!!!! I'm so unhappy with how my weight loss has creeped back on. Once & forall I will get it off (and stay off!)

I'm a secretary in an Elem.School and I'm off work until Tuesday.I will post again later! Have a great day! :hug:
