    Merry Christmas! Hope you all had a wonderful day. I discovered my stomach has shrunk and I cannot not eat very much.

    There is a poem call Christmas he no good. It is a bit politically incorrect. But I'm changing it to ...

    Sugar he no good.: Make sleepy, make butt big, stomach hang over like sack. Sugar - he no good.:bigsmile:


    My uncle called my sister a big fat pig. I jumped on his case. Is it okay to pimp slap a 66 year old man. I told him never to comment on a woman's weight. You know how sensitive you men are about losing your hair. What if I called you baldy and made comment on your lack of hair. I know it was kinda mean but there are somethings you just don't say when you see somebody.

    Ivy I love it! LOL!

    Well I've been MIA but I am getting back on track starting Monday. I joined Curves with my sis the other day and our first workout is Monday morning. I thought that would be a good day to get everything back on track. I have maintained at 350 for the past month so it is time to get back to my cavewoman ways. Hope you all have a wonder new year full of good health and happiness! Also hope you had a blessed Christmas! :)

    Glad to see you back Amy.:flowerforyou:

    I overindulged also. I discovered later that if I walked on the treadmill for 20, I could pack some more in.:noway: But today is a new day. I'm making a U turn today. I gave my body a little- well okay a lot- of extra energy and now I will commence at burning it off.

    Have a great day.

    DId my first workout at Curves this morning. The new system will tell me the calories I've burned and everything after the first month. I feel so good after that workout. They have a new stretching station that really helps too since i can't get on my knees on the floor to do all of the stretches. I started off well this morning with eggs and leftover ham with a little cheese and my coffee of course. I am throwing away the cookies soI will not feel obligated to eat them. So it's back on track for me. How is everyone else doing?

    Hello, everyone.

    Amy glad you like curves.

    Diana hope you are warm. How's your mom?

    Marie, hope you are doing good.

    I want potato chips:sad: I hardly crave junk but I saw them on sale at the grocery store last night. But I will eat black beans instead. This is supposed to be a rest and maintenance week for me.

    Hope everyone has a great day

    Hi guys

    Marie, I do think about you often. Back to relationship hell, and I had a horrible christmas and am almost unable to function, takes all my energy to go to work every day.

    It sounds like you are all doing well, and survived the holidays.

    Amy, love your pic, you look great

    I'll try to check in again, just struggling to deal with life and that is more than i can do at the moment.

    Hello all,

    Jeni sorry you had such a horrible holiday. Here's to better things in the new year:flowerforyou:

    Marie, I am 45 pounds from my goal so I still have a long ways to go. I though I'd be on 25 by now but such is life. Did you guys get snow? I will think about what I want in the New Year. What I really want is to wake up and the weight be gone and potato chips and cheesecake have no calories.:laugh:

    Diana how are the groups you joined going?

    Amy hope you are doing well with Curves.

    Well it is sunny and cold here. But I know it is colder elsewhere so I can't complain. Have a great day.

    Ivy- I am doing great with Curves it really does feel great to be back there. I went again today I am starting out with the 3 times a week then will probably go to 4 or more with some walking in between now that I have a good neighborhood to walk in.

    Jeni I am sorry you are having these crappy problems I will pray it gets better for you. Hang in there and lean on us!

    Calie- I am really enjoying the new house. We still have a lot to move in and settle in. We are working slowly since we have to pay rent on the apt til March anyway might as well use it for storage til we can figure out where everything is going. We are already making a donation pile too. I am trying to get back to my cavewomanly ways lol but the holidays have been hard. At least my weight is hanging steady.

    I started watching Ruby last week it's a show on Style about a woman who weighed 477 pounds and through diet and exercise and therapy she is down around 300 now. She uses a home delivery service for prepackaged meals (not Nutrisystem but real cooked meals). Of course that is too expensive for me so I was talking to a fan of hers on Facebook and she told me she does her own and packages them for a week at a time and keeps them ready for meals. So I got some new Glad containers and I am going to cook everything this Sunday to get ready for next week and see how it goes. My sis and I sat down and made a menu for the week and adjusted it based on the new sales papers and I am shopping this afternoon for all of it to get started. We already had a lot of the ingredients but we were getting low on meats and of course veggies and other fresh ingredients. I am definitely getting back on track Monday when I go back to work/school.

    Hope you all have a wonderful and SAFE New year's!

    Hey all! Mom just had the sniffles for a few days and is well. I am still on the stuffy side. Go figure a 87 yr old woman can recover faster than I can! lol I have not gone to any of the group meeting yet because there were none scheduled until mid Jan. However, I found my very first friend ever (since I was 8) on facebook last Friday and it turns out that she only lives 10 miles away. That has been such a blessing. We went for lunch and shopping on Saturday and it felt like we had never lost touch. That friendship is going to re-blossom I am sure and it will help me to break out of my hermit ways. My son comes home from his dad's on Saturday and I am anxious to see him.

    Jeni, I am so sorry to hear things are taking a turn for the worse...if you need to vent, feel free to send me a note!

    Glad most of you had a nice Christmas!

    My goals for 2010 is to finally hit my goal weight, which is 125-130...somewhere in there. I plan on doing that by just concentrating on my kids, my mom and myself. No dating or nonsense. I am taking a year to just be ME! No other expectations or demands, just my family and me.

    So here is to 2010 being MUCH better than 2009!!! :drinker: :drinker: :wink: :heart: :heart:

    Hi all
    Happy New Year!

    I went to a pre party last night and well.... I'm going to bed very early tonight, got out of work early and getting chinese food, not that I can keep anything in me, and relax with a fire and thats it.

    I will survive, that iswhat i do!

    Anyway, i'll be checking in more, I promise, it will be at night, I get up at 4:15 and leave at 6:20ish so I don' have time to fool around, or walk in the morning

    For 2010; lets see, Become stronger and happier for me
    Lose another 20lbs and get insurance approval for my TT.

    I'm going to be 39 in a coupe of months, so my short term goal is to make a plan of what I want to do before my 40

    Hello everyone,

    Welcome back Chrys.


    Marie, you are awesome. I wish my relatives with diabetes had half as much determination as you.

    Diana you will have a great year. But leave a little room for the possibility of a GOOD mate. They can show up when you least expect it.

    Amy I am glad you are enjoying curves and your new house.

    Jeni, you are strong chica. You are just going through a little blip in the road. It doesn't seem like it now but in a few years you'll be able to smile and appreciate how strong you really were.

    For me I challenged myself to 30,000 aerobic steps today. That would put me at 800 miles walked for the year. i was supposed to do 1000 miles but things happen.

    Here's to 1000 miles, 30 inch waist or a size 10 in 2010 (how many pounds that is I don't know)

    Well I have 14000 more steps so I better get to steppin' :bigsmile:

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!
