This sounds like a great support group. Unlike some of you who've already had some great success, I am back at the starting gate having just re-gained my 5 lbs lost in the spring. I'd love to lose 31 lbs before Christmas. Not quite sure how to access the group's site but maybe I'll acquire some technological skills as part of this process!! :flowerforyou:

My goal is 20 by dec. 1st. 3 immediate family birthdays, 4 Christmas parties, and I'm turning 40 (double ouch)
One Christmas party is out of state and is two nights in a row and the husband's boss actually drinks more than I do, he buys all the drinks. and the rounds of shots. The first night we typically hang out for 2 hours chatting after the friday party, I'm the "+1 welcoming committee of one", so we go over all the new employees, their spouse, go over all the old employees, their spouse, who has kids, their age and life. promotions, blah blah blah. My favorite +1 also turns 40 this year. Then we review what he needs to know, go over his speech with him, blah blah blah. and shoot the *kitten* for awhile longer. and then my husband drives us back to the hotel and we drunkenly stumble up to our hotel rooms
Saturday, start all over, with the addition of apple pie shots. which are made with grain alcohol, all the plus 1's and I dominate that. I probably drink 3-4,000 worth of calories that weekend alone. That's just one weekend. This is basically every weekend of Dec. every year. Thankfully, the boss and I have an abnormal tolerance to alcohol. scary, really.

so..back to square 1 in January. I want to look fit this birthday and at the parties! d@mnit! January 3rd - St patties day is alcohol free every year except our V'day celebration.

I think I'll put a picture of me on the bathroom mirror taken on vacation when I magically gained 7 pounds.

The pictures are embarrassing!

I really wish I wasn't a december baby! 16 weeks. 20-25 lbs.

I have been counting, measuring, trying to exercise more, no more shots, 4 weeks alcohol free in late september, 1st 2 weeks of Oct. More chix and salad. more veggies. I'm just a horrible procrastinator!

Perfect incentive!! I just joined myfitnesspal today. I'm embarrassed by my weight gain especially since most of my friends are thin. I want in on the Christmas challenge. Where do we report our weight at?? Thank you!
