Saturday Success: I survived a very unplanned crazy week without doing too much damage to healthy living plan. Today I am going to take the suggestion of trying Leslie Sansone walking video on Youtube. I have a limited space where my computer is located, but hopefully, I can make it work.
Have a great weekend. Kaye0 -
Alison! Excellent time on your 5k!
Congratulations!
Skinnyjeanz- My mother in law would have bought me something she KNEW I would return, if she couldn't figure out what to buy for me. Is it possible your MIL plans a white sweater each year, knowing that you will exchange it? Perhaps she doesn't know what to get you, and doesn't feel right with gift cards? MILs are sneaky like that... at least mine was, bless her heart...
Saturday success- I am still here. That counts... and I walked twice this week. Still having a hard time with the food part of the program, but I am not doing too terrible there. I forgot how good it feels to walk.... I found my balance of layers for clothing and yesterday's walk was so refreshing! Of course I was wheezing and gasping for air when I got home, but I recovered quickly.
New Year's Eve... the BF suggested we do Downtown Seattle, where they set off fireworks at the stroke of midnight. Should be fun.0 -
Hello,
Had a hard time sleeping last night got this burst of energy. So I clean my kitchen empty out cabinets wipe them out. In my food cabinets threw out things that needed it wipe jars etc. Re organized my spices, my pan drawer was all out of wack
So got that back in.order. clean out the pantry. Not sure what was wrong with me other than I 'd finish one cabinet and dive into the next. My brain was processing the day a lot one of the reasons for not sleeping and cleaning help me use up any energy. And I wasn't focusing on junk brain went on auto. Hopefully it doesn't happen tonight if so. I have a messy coat closet.
Later today my daughter and I are going to the movies to see Les Miserables. Making a plan to bring in my own goody bag. May need a nap today but trying not to so I will be able to sleep tonight. But fitness goal is to put in.my Richard Simmons video and workout with that today.
@skinny -- your MIL with the sweater reminds me of my mom. She knows my favorite color is blue. She for years will by any closes in almost a baby blue or turquoise. Ok but I don 't like either of those shades of blue on me. I tell her she says ok I will remember. Each year the same.
Wishing everyone a good day. Don 't forget to drink your water and log hour food.

Saturday success:
I wore my muffintop jeans from my avatar pic all day yesterday. Even though I still have a little top on top, it's small enough to hide under a shirt. More important, the jeans are loose enough that I can breathe comfortably and walk and sit just fine in them. And I only took that pic a week or so ago!0 -
Hello all. So far Saturday has been a good day. I am getting ready to bring up Leslie Sanson and tell her just how annoying her perkiness is as I walk away twenty or so min. So I had a little Saturday success. I retook my measurements last done on Nov 5th and I had lost an inch on my hips and two on my chest. Everything else was pretty much the same but I am ok with that. I hope everyone has a great day and I will cya all later.0

Hello - Saturday success. I have walked every day of December----one day was a pretty short walk but still a walk. So I'm over 25 walks for December. Most of you do so much more than I do, running, aerobics, lifting, rock climbing and more. I'm happy just to walk and walk and walk.
All best wishes to all who post here!!

Did Leslie Sansone 1 mile walk. It takes 20 min. I may have to do it twice. I'm glad that I can walk outside most of the time. I find her perkiness a bit annoying. I'm sure I will get bored with her in a hurry, but at least, I can get my leg moving!

gotta replace the batteries in my bike and still trying to kick the sugar addiction that i always get from Christmas. sigh.0
-
@toots--I have a box of candy my sister made for me (oreo balls and pecan rolo pretzel treats) that need consumption before I even bother to try to kick the sugar monster. I'm just trying to be smart and eat just a couple each day. They would probably be gone already if I hadn't gotten sick.
@kaye and tammy--ugh, I hate some of those perky workout gurus! I think it's one of the reasons I prefer not to do exercise videos (that, and I have almost no space to do them in my house). I would be like you, tammy, and tell her off while exercising. :laugh:
@lin--great job on the 25 walks!! :drinker: I haven't added mine up yet, but I don't think I quite made the goal. \\
@mara--great NSV!!! You inspired me to try on a few pair of pants that were still too tight--3 of the 4 pair fit!!! :noway:
@nicole--yeah, I wish that were the case, but I know for a fact it's not b/c she always inquires about whether or not the sweater fit. Every year I have to explain that it did or didn't fit, but doesn't look good b/c of the color. Every year she seems deeply disappointed b/c she thought the sweater was so pretty. In the 20+ years of this, she's managed to buy me exactly 2 sweaters that were in the brown family and I wear them all the time. She also bought me one gorgeous summer top that was way too small, but I kept it and hope to be able to wear it this coming summer (it almost fit last year, so fingers crossed).
liz--I think my MIL is the same--she just forgets :ohwell: --see my post to nicole above^^. At least she usually includes gift receipts.
I forget who said she was going to see Les Mis, but I would like a review. The critics are saying it's fabulous and am trying to decide if I will see it at the theater, or wait for DVD.
Saturday Success:
Took gunner for a nice walk and then spent the day running errands. Got the oil changed and a headlight replaced on my car. Then went from store to store returning some items--a few long lines, but I got it all done. Now I just need to drop some stuff at Good Will tomorrow.
NSV--I already posted to mara: 3 more pair of pants from my closet fit and my home scale shows my lowest weight yet! I won't update the ticker until I see it on the gym scale, but I'm very hopeful it will stick. I'm sure it is at least in part due to my illness this week, but I'm gonna take the cheat and work hard to keep the loss..0 -
I had to make up some hours today at work so I popped in for a bit.
I apologize for my craziness everyone it is 20 pages till roll over not 12.
@laurie - great accomplishment with the rock wall. I hope you aren't bruised up to bad. Take it easy the next day or so.
@Lin- Congrats on the 25 walks
@Allison- Congrats on your 5K time
@Toots- I just threw out all left over cookies because I couldn't stop eating them. Good luck
@Karen- Congrats on the NSV what an awesome accomplishment
@jtconst- Congrats on the measurments
I did about 18 walks this month. I am determined to get back on track if it kills me. I am sick of catering to everyone else's needs and not having time for mine. I gained 5lbs from the holidays. I am headed home til after the new year....Everyone have a safe and fun New Year.0 -
@holly--18 walks is great!! It is so hard to put yourself 1st, but you are right--you just need to do it (I know easier said than done). I struggle with putting myself before my students. I stress out about getting their papers graded and handed back and can't seem to strike a happy balance between exercise and school work. This is something I will continue to work on in the new year. If you find any strategies that work, share them and I will do the same.
The only thing so far that has helped is trying to "schedule" my work out time in advance, but I'm not always realistic and sometimes have a hard time sticking to plan.
Just added up all of my walks, runs, bike rides, and stair climbs and I'm at exactly 25 "walks" today with a total of 48 miles. I'm going to make sure to pass 50 miles this month! I would like to go to the gym tomorrow morning, but I have a lunch date with some friends so I think it's unlikely. However, if I miss tomorrow, I will go on Monday b/c I think the gym is open until about 3pm.0 -
Hello darlings -
Sorry I've been so sporadic lately - work has been pretty horrid, and today it's migraine time.:sick:
I feel very fortunate that the numbers are still going down (slowly) over the holidays. I've staved off the candy attacks by letting myself have a candy cane to suck on for desert (only 60 cal)... helps a bit. and pretty much living on coffee at work lately - so not having coffee today is probably why the migraine.
Have a safe new years, folks... watch out for the crazies....0 -
Thank you for the warm welcome. This thread goes so quickly! I posted the other day and just had 2 pages to keep up on! I love that you ladies know each other on here.
Would you be able to give me a brief synopsis of where you are at in life and in weight loss? Just so I can jump in a little with the group?
I'll give mine as well. I'm a 29 year old mom of 2. I work 2 jobs and have an animal rescue. My heaviest weight in highschool was 185 and dropped down from that point to 133 (I'm 5'7). When I got married 7 years after highschool, I was back to 185. Found out we were expecting a little souvenir from the honeymoon and I was 230 when I delivered. Determined to lose the weight, I tried weightwatchers and found out 10 months later I was expecting again. So, again, I ate for 2. My heaviest was 259 right before I delivered. Walked out of the hospital 20lbs lighter - no joke! lol Now, I'm back in the 250s and I'm ready to be 133 again. I'm looking forward to getting to know each of you! You seem like an amazing group!
For my Saturday Success story, I've cleaned the kitchen and the rest of the house will be next lol 0 -
Hello,
Just stop in to catch up.on all of the posts. My daughter and I went to see Les Mis. Oh it's good glad we went worth the money. My daughter seem to enjoy it too.
@Lin congrats on reaching your goal of 25 walks.
@JT and @Kaye agree some of those Dvds are annoying. Richard id just sullying personality don 't mind him. But I am just use yo his over the top antics. But I am ready for a new tape.
@Vicki its good you are here trying such a busy time of year.
@Allison congrats on your 5k. That is my next goal. My friends who did the 3 k with me. We will be in 5k in April. Hoping. For good weather and good conditions. After committing to it was excited not scared. But at least it gives neva goal.
@Laurie that rock climb is a great victory.
@skinny that is great on reaching your goal too.
@foots that sugar addiction is so hard to kick. Today at the movies I wanted a regular pepsi. I never drink it but the idea of the cold drink over ice but mostly cause of the sweet taste. ..I didn't get it but I am sure still thinking about it.
Well that's it. Wishing everyone a good evening.

@liz--thanks for the review of Les Mis! I might need to work that into my holiday schedule. Great job resisting the soda!
@jumpy--we all do Sunday Share, so you will probably learn a lot about people by checking the thread tomorrow. Very funny that you brought it up though b/c just before reading your post, I thought I would do my Sunday Share tonight. I have a busy day planned tomorrow, and I figured since I'm just sitting around at home tonight, I would get it out of the way.
Sunday Share (a wee bit early):
My name is Karen and I'm a HS English teacher from Chicago. I've been overweight my whole life, though I was a pretty active kid--involved in sports throughout grade school. In HS I was overweight--not obese, but just heavy enough to feel out of place shopping with my thin friends. I don't remember what I weighed, but at 15 I told the DMV I weighed 160lbs for my driver's permit (I only know this b/c I've never changed the weight :blushing: ). I'm quite certain that was a lie, so my guess is I weighed somewhere in the 180's in HS. I'm also 5'7" btw. In college my weight went up and down, but my lightest adult weight was 175 my junior year of college--I took a weight training class and worked out almost everyday.
Since college weight continued to go up and down, up and down--I tried every diet out there. Even got into running back in 2003 or so and got down into the 180's, but then I got plantars fascitis and had to stop running in 2004. From that point I gained about 10lb/year until my weight topped out at 247 in June 2010. I decided to join the gym and worked out religiously--lost about 6-7 lbs over my summer break, but when school started in August, I struggled to keep it off. By Jan. 2011 I finally realized that exercise alone wouldn't cut it and decided to start counting calories. I did a 3-day juice cleanse over President's Day weekend 2011 and started really watching my food intake. About a month into it, a colleague told me about MFP and I joined w/ a starting weight of 241 and the rest, as they say, is history.
I started running again using couch to 5k in June 2011 (at about 230lbs). I had gone to a podiatrist in 2008 to get fitted for orthotics so I could do the Komen 3-day walk, so my feet were much better. By Feb. 2012 I reached Onederland and since then the weight loss has slowed quite a bit, but I've continued to get smaller and build muscle in the process and I don't plan to quit anytime soon.
My current MFP weight is 192 lbs (though I'm hoping for a loss when I hit the gym in the next day or 2). I went from a size 18 pants to a 14 (and even some 12's!). My shirt size has gone from XL to M. I can now run a 5k at an 11.5 minute mile pace, and I can run ONE (and only ONE
) 10 minute mile. I can do 15 army style push-ups and straight-arm front and side planks for 30 seconds/rep. Lots of other strength victories on the weight machines at the gym, too.
I joined this thread in July 2011 and must say, it's probably the one thing that has kept me going through all of the plateaus and slip-ups.
Aside from logging food and visiting this thread, another major tool for success with this has been my food scale. I still weigh my food regularly to keep my portions honest. Oh, and water is one of my best friends! :drinker:0 -
Hello everyone! I'm new to the thread and plan on reading as much as possible to catch up (if that's possible. ). 0
-
Hi TSO, read up, I'm new too. I just asked the girls for an update on who/where everyone is at, so maybe it will help us catch up! 0

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday and congrats to all those who lost. I'm inspired by your willpower! Back from vacation and into my real world. Eating badly for a week took its toll on more than just the scale. My hands/feet/ankles are STILL swollen. My digestion is all kinds of messed up and angry and my sinuses are going haywire.
Instead of gifts I couldn't carry home I got a fair amount of cash as gifts this Christmas so yesterday I picked up a new George Foreman and a stick blender. Two kitchen items I've been wanting for a while. My fridge is full of healthy foods and I'm ready to go again.
Sunday share: I'm Kris. I started getting heavy late in highschool and kept ballooning to my highest weight of 326 after my divorce. I started eating healthier but not quite fast enough because I had a stroke in March. It was caused by uncontrolled hypertension. I was also diagnosed with diabetes. That's when I kicked it into gear. I've had a hiccough starting from about Thanksgiving but i'm ready to recommit and settle in.0 -
Did Leslie Sansone 1 mile walk. It takes 20 min. I may have to do it twice. I'm glad that I can walk outside most of the time. I find her perkiness a bit annoying. I'm sure I will get bored with her in a hurry, but at least, I can get my leg moving!
Kaye
good for you!! yup, i find perky people annoying as well but it is good to be able to walk inside0 -
Hello - Saturday success. I have walked every day of December----one day was a pretty short walk but still a walk. So I'm over 25 walks for December. Most of you do so much more than I do, running, aerobics, lifting, rock climbing and more. I'm happy just to walk and walk and walk.
Lin
great work with your walks!!0 -
been out of the loop with the flu last few days but now getting back to normal.....0

Happy Sunday Everyone, glad that I get 2 more days off - but work will be crazy busy for the rest of the week. This time off has been nice, I've been able to sleep in and take some naps - almost unheard of! :laugh:
Welcome to all the newbies!
Not sure what I was doing yesterday, but just didn't make it by here - was just catching up on some things around the house and playing with one very active kitty I guess.
Sunday Share~I'm Kelley, an accountant in Dallas. I was actually very active and not overweight as a kid, didn't gain weight until I was in my 20s after going through a difficult time. One day I woke up and was more than 100# overweight, a lifetime had gone by. I was a member of Weight Watchers off and on for a number of years before making a real commitment a few years ago, where I lost most of my weight. When they changed their plan to the new PointsPlus plan, I wasn't having near the success - so after about six months I joined MFP. After a knee injury in April while running and subsequent surgery I hired a personal trainer at my gym who has changed my life - he's helped me regain the strength in my knee and helped me get back into running. He keeps me motivated and is with me every step of the way as we plan for my next challenge. I've hit some road blocks this year with some endocrine/hormonal issues, which has impacted the numbers on the scale - very frustrating to say the least. I switched to a new doctor and finally started some meds a few weeks ago - I'm starting to feel the difference the meds are making so hopefully I'll start to have more consistent losses on the scale.
Its going to be a challenging week to get exercise in since I'll be working some long days - but here is my schedule since I forgot to post it Friday:
Monday~Elliptical
New Year's Day~5K with trainer
Wednesday~Recovery Day
Thursday~Training Session
Friday~Cross Trainer
Saturday~Shopping
Sunday~Training Session
Have a great day, I will try to check in later today...0 -
Good Morning. Here's my Sunday share for the Newbies. I hope you feel as much support here as I do. I am retired, and at 68, I think I am the oldest member of this group. I live in a small town in Western Idaho. My husband and I have been married for 47 years. We have 7 children and almost 14 grandchildren. My life pretty much revolves around my family. We take care of our 4-year-old grandson every day. In Feb, he will get a baby sister. We'll take of her, too, so life is about to get even busier.
I have always thought that I was overweight, but looking back, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. I am 5' 1", and have a pear-shaped compact body. I remember weighing 115# when I was 15 years old. What I would give to weigh that now! I have been on many plans including TOPS and WW, but have always gained back everything I've lost plus some. If I had kept off all the weight I've lost, there would be nothing left of me. I joined MFP the first of October this year and this group shortly after that. I was motivated by knee replacement surgery and the prospect of taking care of the new baby. My family is very supportive and helpful. I have lost steadily and as of this morning I have lost 36.8# . I have set my goal for 25# at a time. I only have to lose 25# 5 times. Since gyms and personal trainers are not an option in our little town, I walk as much as I can. I am a firm believer that the only way to lose weight is to eat less calories than you burn. The bonus is that I have more energy than I've had in years and my blood counts are improving quite markedly.
Have a great Sunday everyone. Kaye0 -
Sunday share (still fighting off a migraine, now with a sore throat & generally feeling horrid) -
I'm Vicki - 55 years worn, married, with two kids off into the world. I'm a nurse who is currently working in infection prevention at the state psychiatric hospital (but my prior background is ER/surgery/ICU). I've been a member of MFP for one year and 3 days - and joined this thread/group fairly early on... but was mostly a lurker at first. I'm just a bit past my midway point on this journey ... my next mini-goal being Onederland - about 2lbs more for that. I fight plateaus a lot lately, sad to say.
I've always had a weight problem. If I didn't love food so much, I'd have probably been anorexic as a teen.
This group is amazing, and always so helpful... love you all!0 -
@Lin -- congratulations on 25 walks! I don't think I did anything like. Oh well.
@Jumpy983 -- you'll get lots of things about people's lives on Sunday cos we do Sunday Share. It's a busy thread but it's ok if you don't keep up!
@Liz -- I'm doing 5k as a regular training run now; if I get up on a Saturday morning then there's a free one organised in a park near us every Saturday. I'm still doing a mix of running and walking. I know I can run continuously for 45 minutes but when it's a timed run I always start too fast and have to stop and walk later. And I still haven't given up Coke. Some days it's just what I want.
@Kris -- I'm glad you had a nice holiday, and are looking forward to a back to normal January.
On New Year's Eve -- we are having some close friends round: I cook a big meal, and then we drink champagne. We're all getting on a bit, so by about 12:15 we're basically finished...
OK, a Sunday share for newbies. I'm a 47 year old mum in London, England. I've always been overweight but it goes up and down -- except, from here on in, down. I'm about 5' 1", and I have just hit 199 pounds, which is the lowest I've been for a few years. Another ten pounds down and I'll be at my lowest weight since I was 25. Which is sort of weird. I don't work at the moment but I'm studying. My kids are 15 and 12. I've been using MFP since late June and have lost pretty steadily at a bit over a pound a week since then. I also decided to do 30 minutes a day of cardio, to replace the exercise I used to get commuting into town on the Tube. I've gradually been ramping that up, and started running in September. My stretch goal is a half marathon in March; I'm pretty sure I can do the distance, but I don't really run fast enough yet so I may have to duck it. My healthy eating and exercise habits have been Completely Derailed by Christmas, but I've still been logging what I eat every day. And mostly it's not been too bad count-wise, apart from Christmas Day itself and one day when we had two celebration meals. My husband joined me on MFP after a few weeks; he's now lost enough to get back into the 'healthy' BMI range, and has adjusted his targets to lose just half a pound a week for a bit. And the kids are looking good too, and I haven't been restricting what they eat much at all. But my cooking has been healthier I think, and we've not had so many unhealthy treats.
Today I SWEATED -- at badminton, and I was HUNGRY -- while shopping. Though we did then have a large burrito (boo) but split it between us (yay).
I'll try to do measurements on Tuesday.
Hope you're all having a fantastic day!

Sunday share - I'm Lin, 61 year old divorced female, not currently working. I live in Central Iowa. I've mostly been obese my entire life with little patches of time where my weight was on the edge of normal. I'm tall, have osteoarthritis in many of my joints, also have fibromyalgia, am celiac and have dozens of foods and additives that I cannot tolerate. I walk everyday, indoors, and have been logging on MFP since Cinco de Mayo of 2012. I'm not sure how long before that I actually joined----but I kind of looked around the site for a while before I jumped in.
I'm loathe to say anything about my weight but I will say (as my MFP friends already know) I have progressed from a starting BMI of 43 to yesterday 29.9. Still a long way to go but all I can say is: THIS WORKS FOR ME!!!!
I look after a lot of business for my dad and am kind of non-faithful about posting in the message boards BUT I read everything......you all rock and I wish I could do some of the very active things you accomplish!
Wishing everyone well.

Tom and Amy- Happy Anniversary.
Success--Climbing the rock wall that has been challenging me for about a month or two. I can also balance on one foot on the half ball without holding onto a wall-this is big a few weeks ago I could not maintain my balance for 5 seconds.
I am Laurie a 42 year old middle school science teacher for 7/8th grade students. The lowest weight I remember is from way back in 8th grade at a 188 pounds. The only reason I remember that is because my doctor said I would out grow it-well I never did. I don't know my high school/college weights and don't really care. My personal goal is to get back to 188 and maybe lower. I always considered myself overweight but never obese or fat. At some point the highest weight I reached was around 268 pounds it may have been more but I don't know.
In June 2010- I joined my local gym after my 40th birthday. I started walking laps around the track for something to do during the summer and that helped start the weight loss. School started I gained it back. December 2010, my gym offered and introduction to personal training with a New Year New Me program and I decided to try it. I meet Donny, he told me I was obese and did not spare my feelings. He helped me to get started with more exercises and challenging myself during exercises along with helping me to figure out a healthy eating plan. With his help I spent the next year and 3/4 quarters, I learned a variety of exercises, relaxation techniques, mobility exercises and attempted new and different activities. We had our ups and downs but I still appreciate all he did for me. In September- we started a new job so I ended up with a new trainer and it is working out well. Mike is challenging me in new ways and helping me to build strength while still focusing on weight loss. Their training styles are very different, which is a good thing since I feel more empowered by Mike. Now, I notice the little improvements that have occurred over the past 12 weeks. I realized that I need someone in my corner to increase the intensity of my workouts at the gym and to get comfortable while working out.
Today, I weigh about 198 pounds and would like to lose another 20 pounds at least. Size wise I have gone from a 22W down to a 16 with a few 14s, Large tops and some mediums now fit compared to the 1x/2x sizes. I am still considered obese but I am so much healthier now than I was two years ago. I lost 62 pounds in the first year, in the 2nd year I lost about 5 pounds and have managed to keep off the 67 pounds.0 -
Hi guys!
Welcome to the new folks! :flowerforyou:
Met some friends for lunch at a Chinese restaurant and ate a bit too much, but it was yummy and I'm still full. Afterwards we went to Starbucks to grade. I could have had the lower calorie mocha light frap, but I've already decided I'm giving up the salted caramel mochas for New Years, so I decided to indulge (since I only have a couple more days of those treats). So yummy, but so high in calories--even non-fat, no whip is 290 calories for a grande. :noway: Starting Tuesday I'll be back to the mocha light fraps which are only 130 calories for a grande and still really delicious.
Didn't get any exercise today, but I may do some core work later tonight while watching tv. Setting up my exercise goals for the coming week:

Going to try to finish up #2 tonight.0 -
Hiya!!!! What a day! Went with a friend to a pajama brunch, where we played a wildly inappropriate card game... wow. "Cards Against Humanity"? I am not easily offended- it was totally politically incorrect (and sometimes a little gross with the answers) but it was a blast. Hard to log the food, but I lucked out since the group was filled with health conscious folks... yay.
Sharing.... My name is Nicole and I am a 39 (40 in 18 days) year old widow and mother of a fantabulous 14 year old son. I work full time, go to college 3/4 time, and I have been overweight most of my life... ranging from "a little chubby" to "wow, she sure has a pretty face but...". I live near Seattle, WA, and I love it!
Regarding weight loss... I was around 275 or a lil more, a couple of years ago- this was my highest. I slowly started challenging myself here and there with healthier choices in the kitchen.... whole grains instead of white flour, adding more fruits and veggies, etc. In June of this year, I was down to 238 and decided it was time for some more severe action... I started walking most days, logging every bite or sip that went into my body. I got down to 213 and was THRILLED... but then started dating again and going to school..... duh duh duuuuuuuuuuh.... that was September, when I dropped off the wagon. Fast food is so much easier on the run. My guy likes to show his love by cooking... he is a meat, potatoes, and gravy kinda guy. The good news is that I only gained 6 lbs back. This week, I decided I feel like crud and MUST take back control. So I am.
That's all I got... hehe... my guy is making tamales tonight, which he assures me will be healthy and good for me. Wish me luck! I hope you all have a happy and healthy day!0 -
Kelley - I like your post on 10 changemakers, I seem to be doing fine everywhere but number seven. I have no motivation at the moment and it is effecting my efforts. I should remove this from the equation. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
tootsanderson - I meandered out of Onederland
and need to find my way back. I hope to do that asap.
Robin - praying you have a safe and happy trip.
Susan - thanks for the encouragement. I will get serious again once the out-of -town friends and family are not around. My biggest problem is no organized exercise. That will be part of my Resolution.
Skinnyjeanzbound - If I were there I would fuss over you. Fire the dog.
Morgori - 21st Anniversary that is a great NSV!
linder4866 - there is absolutely nothing wrong with "just walking" that's how I got rid of my first 60 pounds.
Mara & Skinnyjeanzbound - I also reached for an article of clothing. A Pendleton wool jacket that I have saved for so long I don't remember when or where I got it. It was just too nice to Goodwill and even when I couldn't pull the sleeves past my elbows I hoped I would be able to wear it some day. I put it on to day and I could button it up. So apparently I am a thinner than I have been in a very long time. :happy:
We are planning to eat out and celebrate the new year tomorrow. I am not planning to ignore my logging or calories once 2013 gets here.
I hope you are all healthy and happy for the new year. Ang.0
