Hey all! I started the thread this week. The good news is I didn't do as much damage as I thought over the holidays. When I weighed in on Christmas Eve because of a doctors visit I was up six pounds. I nearly had a heart attack thinking that I still had New Years to go.

I only gained 2.5 pounds over the 3 weeks I took off for the holidays. Which I will gladly accept and shed immediately.

SW: 303
LW: 266.5
TW: 269.0
GW: 160

The thing that makes me happy is that I am still under the Morbidly Obese BMI. That was a milestone I didn't want to have to re-hit.

    Slowly ticking away. Still not sure how I've lost weight over the holidays but won't be complaining.

    SW - 300
    LW - 265.3
    CW - 264.3
  • I'm back from my holidays. I went home to my parent's in New Brunswick for Christmas, then flew up to Ontario to spend New Years with my boyfriend and his family. There were lots of sweets, lots of eating out, and lots of turkey dinners... and I was only able to make it to a gym once in the three weeks I was gone :embarassed: Well, I am back, happy to be eating normal, good food and even more happy to report that I essentially maintained over the holidays (technically lost a wee bit) :bigsmile:

    SW 182.4
    Dec 15 143.0
    CW 142.6

    Happy 2010 everyone! :flowerforyou:

    Great job Schlieffen & Linnebooc!

    Bumping for my Wednesday weigh....I think it'll be my first time ever for a gain two weeks in a row:frown: I'm totally back on track but I'm not sure I can lose everything I've gained by Wednesday. :ohwell: Good news is I'm back doing 30 day Shred (I had to go back to level 1:cry: ) but feeling stronger already!

    So I was thinking about the photo gallery on the JS website...should we just do ones for those that have hit goal weight? Orrrrr should we put them up now so we can see our amazing progress? :) I don't even know how we would put our pics on the website...busymom? :happy:

    If people are comfortable doing before and during pictures you can post them in the thread and I can post them on our website.
    I would love to update the picture portion!

    How do you post them on the thread? I've never posted pics to a thread before.

    O.k. let me think lol Right click on the picture, go to properties and copy the url address put it between: [img ][/img ] without the spaces. I had to add the spaces so it would show up.

    or you can open a photobucket account for free. upload the pictures there and post the img tag here but change tolower case is important.

    Do you want us to email the pics to you direct or do you just want to take them off of here? I do the website for the other group I'm in and I just had everyone email me the pics direct so I didn't have to worry about getting everyones. BUT then you also have to give out your email so it's up to you...just let me know:smile:

    YES YES...the other group I'm in started a new year challenge and we all took pics in our shorts & sports bra....if that didn't kick my butt into gear NOTHING would. You don't have to share the half naked pics but share something..then your after shots will be that much more amazing. Plus you'll want to get those after shots up as fast as you can :laugh:
