    great job those of you who lost weight!

    Meemaw...it will come off, try not to be too mad at yourself. Vacations happen!

    I was soooo bad this past weekend that I am surprised I didn't gain more weight than just 0.2 pounds. I haven't been able to exercise as much either so I've been really trying to keep the cals at 1200 on my days I can't get moving. We are going away this weekend so hopefully I don't blow it.

    Yay! Lost two more pounds. I believe this makes my first 10 lost since I started on mfp. I will have to make a ticker now. I also measured my waist it started out at 32.5" and now it is 30" so that is pretty exciting. I didn't measure my hips when I started, but they are 42.5 now so I will measure them a month from now and seem what happens. I also had blood work done yesterday yesterday so I should know in about a week if my have hypothyroidism, coeliacs disease, or anemia or none of the above. I am actually feeling really good today. I finally managed to get up early enough to work out. yay! Also, I am only a pound away from my first mini goa (Next week)l. Keep up the great work everyone.

    Week 23 December 23 Christmas Eve is Tomorrow!
    My goal is to lose 20 lbs. by Christmas to bring me down to 120 lbs. But I'll be happy at 125 (I'm short and very small framed). If I meet my goal, I'll go shopping for myself at all the after-Christmas sales!!! I'll probably do it anyway, but I won't feel guilty about it; it will be my reward.... hmmm what should I get, maybe a smoking hot outfit for New Years Eve?

    I like where your mind is at. Now you have me all excited about after Christmas sales. I can't wait to get myself some presents. I can't wait to be at the size that I want to be at.

    Awesome job for those of you who are getting the scales to go in the right direction.

    I am struggling with getting the weight loss going again. I know where I am falling down and need to work on better eating and exercise on the weekends!
    I think that is the hardest for everyone. That would be a good challenge for us. Something like, just for one weekend, eat and exercise just like you would on a workday.
    Hang in there, it will get easier. :bigsmile:
