Well TEAM :rudolph: RUDOLPH was able to work a little of his :wizard: magic and get my sad sack down a pound this morning :)

That was no easy chore considering I had my 2nd :thanks2: Thanksgiving yesterday. My kids, daughter in law and the kidnapper came for the tradition at my house. I had the full service plate again with plenty of beer to wash it down. Really need to work on that one :yes:

BRAT ~ Great job on the breakfast choices....much better than the nachos I have had 2 of the last 3 days :)

KAT ~ I am pretty sure the TEAM can swing that scale down to 160 :)

TINAMAE ~ OK birthday over...:celebrate: Happy belated by the way...re-focus for Christmas :)

MINDY ~ :rudolph: promises me the 200's are a thing of the past! :)

SWEETCURVES ~ Hey :rudolph: says no problem on 9....you just need 2 "free" entries into the sleigh! :)

Have a great kick-off to your week gals!

down a pound already? woohoo!! I need to catch up!

So, Gary, 'splain it to me, are you thinking you might "get lucky" on Christmas Day ?

With all that beer I had to pee sometime IRIS ;)

:D BARGOO you know me....I always get :lucky: LUCKY on Christmas....why it's the birth :bb: of my SAVIOR :hug:

:lol:

Okay, Dec. 1, here we go! Stick with me :rudolph: and nudge me along - I think I may need it. It's going to be a busy few weeks but I'm hopeful that the busy-ness will keep me from overeating. Sometimes I think it's easier for me to stay OP in social situations, because I'm better at moderation when other people are watching me eat... drinking around others is a completely different story;).

What I have to work on is getting in my exercise! I think it may be down to half-hour workouts at home for the next few weeks, so I have to get the most out of them. Gotta be a foxy lady :mrsclaus: for the holiday festivities!

Have a great week, everyone! :coolsnow: these little holiday pictures are too much fun! =)

Still up 3 from ticker from a Thanksgiving weekend of gluttony. Just finished 2 miles outside though and am back OP with eating. Hoping this isn't an actual 3 pounds I need to burn off and that it's a lot of bloating :)

Count me in! This will be my first time joining one of these threads. :) I'll have my weigh in tomorrow morning (since I completely forgot today, the long weekend left me confused as to what day it was!) so I'll see where I want to end up.

i have missed you guys alot!

Im trying to lose this slowly and gently, with very little pain so to speak, changing my way of eating and re-educating myself.

Im even reading self help books! the thin commandments! anyone else read it?

My big struggle is breakfast stuff... ideally i need something i can eat in the car on the way to work, i dont like bananas so theyre out...? any ideas chaps?

just put a lovely veggie dry gratin in the oven, courgettes (zuchini to you lot!) beef tomatoes, red onions, garlic salt and pepper a little olive oil and some half fat mozerella for the top. all with a grilled steak. yum!

count me in on this one too. i have found that in the past when i have done this i have really made progress. that means down to 180. yes i have gained 10 lbs since the last one that i did which was quit a long time ago.

Hey!! Everybody is all pumped up and ready to lose some pounds before Christmas. I was down just a bit today, back under 200. I did a 2 mile jog today and eating has been good. So I hope I am on the downside and ready to make some progress.

Look out Santa. We are going to be looking good.

Well I'm biting the bullet and being honest on here for some accountability. I am up three pounds. I am not sure why so I will be going over some things and looking at some nutritional data and reweighing again in the morning time. Hopefully it is just water weight. It probably wasn't the best idea to weigh myself in the middle of the afternoon today either so hopefully that is what it is. But I was feeling lighter lol which is why I dared to do that!

I am looking for some good cookbooks on how to cook vegetables. So I am looking on amazon. I think that would help me greatly to feel a bit more full in the evenings since I get tired of having salads so much. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

have a great night all!

down 1 pound....Rudolph was easy on me yesterday.

I will get back here tomorrow....a lot to do tonight.

Our TEAM rocks!!!

alright alright I havent been on a challenge since October! I'm in!

Well I forgot to weigh myself this morning to check to see if it was just water weight or not since I woke up rather late for work. So we'll see tomorrow morning. I've done pretty well today food wise. Just got back from christmas shopping for myself. Just got some wireless bras from Lane Bryant that I can wear around the house and to sleep in. Lane Bryant is having a buy one get one half off sale on their bras just FYI. I've had the same jewelry box since I was 8 years old and it was just bursting. So we got me a grown up looking jewelry box which I am all excited about and now everything on my bureau looks so much nicer. I was so tempted at the mall to get a chocolate chip cookie but didn't and then we also passed a Hickory Farms stand that usually sets up shop during the holidays and I was tempted to stop and browse for some good cheese but no we just kept right on walking. So I'm proud of myself for that.

Have a great night!
