    I am in too!:) I'll post every 3-4 days:)
    I have 128 pounds and 5'3. I'll try to lose 6, because at my weight it's very hard and dangerous to loose too much too fast.

    Ohhhhh, ya'll would be so proud of me!
    I took the left over pecan and pumpkin pie (extra large halves), sliced them into servings sized for the fam, and put them into the deep freeze :bigsmile: and I only licked my finger once :devil:

    Today was a great workout day.
    60 oz water, thus far....the next 20 oz w/supper :drinker:
    Zumba a full hour.................................160 heart rate avg.

    After laundry & vacuum, I'm at 12k steps.

    Off to make supper for the fam :happy:

    We can do it :) Imagine how good we will all feel if we can actually LOSE weight during the holidays! I know I'll feel like a million bucks...I may have 100+ to lose but 10 will be great during the holidays.

    I ate well on Thanksgiving and then gained by overeating on Saturday (made cookies! Yum!). So now I am back to where I started. No one to blame but me.

    SW 165.7

    CW = 165.2

    Goal weight 155 by Christmas.

    Good job everyone!:happy:

    I'm in. I even passed on the Almond Rocha at work today, and took the cheese and egg off the salad I had. It was taco salad bar in the cafeteria today (one of my favorites) I requested the smallest bowl they had and just ate a little bit, instead of the boat they usually serve it in. I also did not mound it.

    WTG everyone looks like we are on the right track. Today I went to my daughter's school they were having a fund raiser called donuts in December. Yes, I ate a donute but it's counted in my calories and I walked to the school and back. Unfortunately, I now crave sugary goodness!

    Not quite there yet but as soon as I reach 399.5 I will have lost the 10 pounds I set as a goal to reach by the end of December 2010.

    Down 2.8 today. Had a potluck Xmas party on
    Saturday and a "order whatever you want anything you want" office party at a restaurant last night. Down almost 3 pounds made it worth it. Walked my Butt off every day. I can honestly say that I really 'dieted" this week.

    Usually breeze through the days but the Xmas challenge is daunting to say the least.

    Anyway, 1 Xmas party to go on Saturday, again at a restaurant., I give myself permission to eat what I want portion controlled. I plan on enjoying every bite. My Jenny counsellor said to order the best and enjoy every mouthful. Don't have junk and don't fill up on bread. Great council.

    I had 3 parties and the last will be my reward.


    This is great work but soooo worth it. Will be nice to see the new year with most of my resolutions (fat butt) taken care of . That is to me a bonus!:bigsmile:

    Oh and I have lost 4.2 of the 8 I need to go for the Xmas challenge.
