Hugs! To make you feel better, I confess that I've gained 50 pounds this year through all-out binge eating.
I'm in the same boat as you Susie
.
I'm doing my hard reset whether I want to or not on the 26th.
I gained around 50-60.
You can do this! I've been back at it for 1.5 months and I've lost 12 pounds so far

Yep. Unless people get reeeeally inspired to post some holiday-related confessions.
I've completely given up logging or monitoring in any fashion, my food intake until after the first of the year. My calories and macros can jump right off a bridge.
Enjoy all the food! I've been drooling over the thought of soft, chewy gingerbread... We can't get all the ingredients to make it here, so the last time I had it was with my grandma in the US!0 -

@Susieq_1994 - I hope it gets better soon!! It has been stressful the last part of the year, but I can't blame anyone but me for what I gained.
Yep, same here. It's all me! I'm pretty proud of myself, I've been back to logging for 1.5 months now... But in the meantime I've gained a grand total of about 90 pounds. Woohoo?
You can get in on our hard reset, too!
I'm so in! I'm in three different challenges right now, trying to get myself all motivated.
I'm in a calorie logging challenge with Nicci and Patricia, a weight loss challenge with some non-MFP friends and my sister, and then of course the weekly step challenge, in which I try to beat @tobistat every week.
You and Tobi are ridiculous on the fitbit steps. LOL I feel good if I'm even in your general vicinity, steps-wise.
Feel comforted by the fact that I'm unemployed and therefore I get to step and read all day long. If I was working I wouldn't get half of what I do!
Exactly, Susie! I don't work either so that's why I get a lot of steps. Makes me feel bad when I win because it's not really fair to the people who are working!
True. But I enjoy the challenges so much that I don't want to stop playing them! Most of the time it's me vs. you vs. Danny. 2 -
So, I decided to make our chocolate stuffed anniversary cookie! I bought the ingredients today and I'll try to remember to take pictures before devouring it.
I've planned out our anniversary meals as follows: French toast for breakfast, pizza for lunch, and giant cookie for dinner. Lots of yummy food! 5 -

Susie, it does sound yummy! I love French toast. I wonder if I can find a vegan version of it. Maybe I'll make it on XMAS day.2 -

I don't want you guys to stop either. It's motivating. Consider it a public service to us low steppers!3 -

What I want to know is what's with the obsession with LEGGINGS right now? I had to shop for HOURS and in like four different malls just to find ONE pair of pants that weren't leggings in the stores here.
I only have one pair of leggings that are NOT for the gym, and wear them very rarely. All my other leggings are gym wear, and I wear them constantly (going to the gym, not for athleisure).
Me too. Leggings are not an attractive look on me. But I wear them constantly at home. And yoga pants.
I live in yoga pants at home if we don't have guests. When I leave the house, I wear jeans..then right back into my yoga pants when I get back home.
I'm another secret leggings wearer. I love them at home. Wear them all the time. But will not set foot out the door in them.
Gym leggings are totally different

Hugs, LeeAnn! Do the best you can and join me for the hard reset January 1.
I will start cleaning things out on Dec. 26th!! We don't really do lots of social things through New Year, so I can get a bit of a head start. But I will be right there will you.
I'm getting a headstart too but need to get it together in 2017. I really fell down the later half of 2016.
I'm giving myself a pass for the holidays. But I have made a training and food plan that commences 3rd Jan
Me too. Mine starts 1/1. But food and alcohol has started early. A running start if you will.0 -

Currently procrastinating on book keeping (I'm learning the ropes for work). I think I need another coffee soon too, I've had three but I am just lagging hard today!
I had four. Five is my cut off, but I won't have that many today.
I don't think anyone could handle me if I had four coffees.
I start every day with 2 XL Dunkin Donuts coffees. If I have 3 it's a bad day. But I usually stop there. I used to drink it all day long. I am thinking of going to get one now...
I now want to go get coffee (it's 8am here)
I had one later. It wasn't good. 0 -

Sounds like we have a 2017 weight loss challenge ahead of us with a few folks in here. Good. I like accountability.4 -

Don't feel bad. I could walk more when I get home, I choose not to outside soccer season.
Exactly. We choose to do less. Don't feel bad, be the reason we get walking!1 -
Do I get dressed and venture out into the cold for my favourite coffee or do I make a home made version and stay warm?0

Coffee addicts. I confess that I haven't a clue what "good" coffee is supposed to be. They all taste equally awful to me! 0 -

You get dressed and venture out in the cold. A walk in brisk and cold air is good for you! 0 -
I confess that I talked Mr. Susie into monetary weight loss rewards. For every kilo I lose (2.2 lbs), I get 15 riyals towards a Kindle book. (When it comes to books I spend money like water, so we have a pretty strict monthly book budget agreed on--so losing weight gets me extra!) Milestone weight numbers (every ten kilos) get me double that. I'm greedily hoarding all of my earned book money so I can look at all the money and see what my weight loss got me! I can't seem to bring myself to spend it.

This is a great strategy. I am not sure it would work for me since I spend money like water. I wonder shat incentive I could build for making and maintaining my goal?0 -

I agree with this. It's always good to get out of the house when you WAH. Otherwise you barely move.0 -
I feel like Kelly right now. I've been awake since 3. I want to sleep. I could sleep for 2 more hours. I can't fall back asleep.0

We used to make a vegan version..just skip the egg. Dip the bread in your choice of milk (we love cashew the best) mixed with cinnamon (it may have had a touch of ground flax or flour too..I can't remember), then grill it up! I've seen vegan eggs in our supermarket recently too! You could always try finding some..Susieq_1994 wrote: »So, I decided to make our chocolate stuffed anniversary cookie!

Susie, it does sound yummy! I love French toast. I wonder if I can find a vegan version of it. Maybe I'll make it on XMAS day.
