And some of the Park food gave me stomach aches. >>my husband can't keep up with me<< That is hilarious. I am so proud for you. We have to get together after Christmas. >>I am now light enough for the Wii fit<< Way to go Dave.

Originally Posted By iamsally I want the flu!!!!!!!! No, I do not. That weight always finds its way right back on me. And I am sorry you were sick DCA. Things are just going along and I will be happy if I maintain through the Holidays. I can no longer eat a lot of my favorite things so I think it will go okay.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I can't believe the stuff that is in my refrigerator right now.

Trader Joes candy cane "jo jo's" have entered the building! I've spent almost an entire year NOT buying this stuff and now it's like my house just turned into one big lump of full fat butter. I'm being pretty good about eating my proteins, veggies and such. I've actually done the Wii each day and walked the dog up hills. My plan is to send ALL the leftovers home with who ever is willing to take them. Looking at this stuff I'd better buy some tums How is everyone else doing?
Originally Posted By iamsally Hey fellow losers!!!!!! Christmas is over!!!!! How did we do? We have had the Christmas that wouldn't end. We had *Christmas* with the CA family back on the 21st.

Still, I am proud of both myself and Rod. We have been getting up in the mornings and having a veggie omelet. Then, if lunch time comes around and nobody has a plan; I make a huge salad for us. And we have been walking and hiking and he is playing WiiResort as I type. I am sure I am up a couple of pounds and when you have only lost 10 that is a lot. But we are watching it and I am sure it will be off in no time. I hate New Years resolutions but I think the end of the Holiday Season will mark new resolve for both of us. Let's hear from everybody. Good and bad. Compared to past years this one is wonderful. I never ate until I was stuffed. In fact, when I talked to my Sister that evening, I could tell by the tone in her voice when she said, "I cannot possibly eat any more. I feel stuffed." I knew how she felt and was so glad I did not.

Originally Posted By officerminnie I also have caved to the holiday food circus and am up about 4 pounds, which really isn't alot when you consider I have been eating every once of chocolate I can get my hands on. Back on track tomorrow for sure!
Originally Posted By mele I'm up 5 lbs from my lowest weight. I am not quite sure when that was, however. Sometime in November, I think. I'm not really worried. I spent a month eating whatever I wanted and not exercising. I don't know if it was "worth" it, necessarily, but I'm okay with it. I did get to eat a lot of tasty foods and am fine with working it off. I know it will be gone in a couple of weeks so...no worries. (Not that I don't have a crapload of worries right now. My weight just isn't one of them.) LOL
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I got on the Wii scale today and I had lost .7 lbs since I weighed about 10 days ago. What the heck??? I mean I'll take it but I was really surprised. So I guess so far I've maintained pretty well this month. I started eating Christmas Eve at around 5 and I don't think I stopped until DH and I just wanted canned soup for dinner last night. I was pretty busy so maybe I wasn't snacking between meals. We did continue with most of our exercising but to lose over Christmas is unheard of for me. I don't even know what to think about it. We have a baby shower/kids home for the weekend and a trip to Reno planned in January so I'll have lots of temptations coming at me. I'd better amp up the exercise and fill up the fridge with veggies.

Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter Hey! I'm down five pounds from my first weigh-in on this thread a year ago. That's good news, especially since I only wanted to lose maybe 10-15 pounds in the first place. What a pleasant discovery.
Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD I did not do well at all during Christmas. Frosted sugar cookies kept calling my name everytime I turned around. I am really trying to get motivated to get back on track. I am so bad about thinking just wait until the 1st, but I need to just go ahead and gain back control. At least the cookies are gone. Of course that is because I ate them all.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 LOL! TX! I told my older sister that this year I didn't make any cookies because DH and I were the ones who ate them all. She basically said "well duh?" LOL!!! She said she hadn't baked since her kids left for college. MUCH easier to do once the kids are out of the house, I enjoyed it when the kids were little and they'd be so excited for the cookies. Hi Parsec and welcome! DH and I fully understand what you are saying. We are yo yo dieters but I think we've finally broken the string this past year. Hi cheezman20 You can do it!! Pixie, that is GREAT!!! iamsally, yep, this thread has helped a lot hasn't it? A comfortable place to rejoice and sometimes confess mele, hows it going today? You crack me up!
Originally Posted By iamsally Well, I got brave and got on my daughter's scale this morning. And I was right about where I always am when up here. A little high but not overly so for traveling and Holidays mixed together. So all in all I am satisfied. Off to scramble veggies and eggs for us and the grandkids.

Originally Posted By officerminnie I am starting my new eating plan January 2. I fell off the wagon for pretty much the entire month of December so it is time to get back on track.
