    Yes, definitely up for a Christmas challenge. Loss is the main reason I gained too.

    Hello,

    Is there anybody out there who would like to form a "stay on track for Christmas" group with me? I hate to admit it but ever since my father passed away 4 months ago I have been struggling to make it even a couple days without exploding my calorie goal. I'm not usually one to reach out for much but I really need help. I don't have a specific weight goal I would like to reach by Christmas, I would just like to stay on track EVERY DAY until Christmas (and beyond that, obviously) and see where that takes me. I just need to get back into the swing of things.

    It just kills me that I have back tracked so much....I gained back 38 of the 60 pounds I originally lost. It is purely from emotional eating and not giving a crap. I know this is not what my father would want for me. He was one of my biggest supporters. I miss him so much. Guess I just had to get it out there :cry: :brokenheart:


    Sorry for your loss rays_wife....and others as well.

    I need a good challenge. I would love to join this challenge and stay on track until Christmas. Count me in.

    Okay I set up the group, and sent out as many invites as I could at one time. If I missed anybody or if anyone else is interested here is the group: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/15601-christmas-aspirations

    Thanks to everyone for the interest! I will create the first thread where we can all introduce ourselves and then we can figure out more details!

    So sorry for your loss. Although I haven't lost my father, I understand how easy it is to turn to food for support, and then more support when you feel depressed about your weight gain. I turn here for support regularly, I try not to wait until I've backpeddled. I would do a challenge with you - have you thought about weekly goals? This week I need to substitute juices with water more than I do now.

    I would love too, I do need motivation also, It is very hard to have a loss like that my dad died 8 yrs ago and it still is so hard, You will find any excuse you can to eat .

    Firstly I am sorry to hear of your loss! I have not had a bereavement to deal with but life does sometimes get in the way.
    I too lost about 42 pounds back along and have since gained back about 15 of them, I would love to shift that 15 plus another 28 by Christmas so please count me in:))
