Here I am in all my glory. Fat, happy and drinking a beer. But the truth is, as much as I enjoy eating and drinking, I need to learn to do it in moderation.

About 2 years ago I was using another online fitness/weight loss site and I did well. I lost about 20 lbs. However, they have returned and have brought a few friends.

I like this site because there are more items in the food database to choose from and I am excited to lose the 20 lbs plus more after that.

Please send me a friend request if you have time - I would love to have someone on here as a "buddy."

-Christy

    Thanks so much for your replies! Yes, amyluu very tough time of the year to start but I can't imagine packing on another 5 lb before New Year's. I know I will eat a few things during the holidays I shouldn't but better to come out on Jan 1 a pound or two lighter than 5 lb more, which is where I was headed with all the festive foods and drinks going around!!!

    Did well today - roast chicken and steamed broccoli for dinner. I still have some calories left and I have done so well, what should I spend the calories on? A Swiss Miss frozen bar ( 100 calories) or a glass of red wine?? Hmmm decisions decisions....
