Hello friends!

We have 10 days to get to Christmas Eve. After that things are going to get tough eating-wise for a bit.

So why not use the 10 days between then and now to make some real progress!

I am committing to log my food on my fitness pal and hit my daily goal every day until Christmas Eve morning, and work out at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes.

Want to join me? You can do anything for 10 days!!

    Someone said to me "why bother" just eat what you want because you can't lose weight over the holidays. No! That is not the right attitude - don't pig out...keep trying. I'm in.

    This is always the hardest time of day for me. All I want to do is kick back with a beer! Not today and not for 10 days though! TIME TO BE STRONG

    I'm in! I'm really needing to feel like I have someone to do this with. I'm struggling alot and I want the new year to be different, I know I have to get my head back in the game now to be fully focused when the New Year comes.

    You are all rock stars!!!! It's a tough time to do it, and that's what makes it the best time! Here's something that always helps me ... when it's evening and all I want is a beer or some gloppy food I think about how amazing I feel the mornings after I eat healthy and exercise the day before. I'm always so grateful!

    What a nice group this already is!

    Tonight I noticed I was going to be over and instead of giving up and eating even more (something I've often done over the last weeks ) I did a workout to keep me under my calorie goals.
    This group helped to give me that little push I needed :)
