    It looks like I may make my goal early. :smile:
    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.

    It sounds like everyone is doing great! I have been drinking my 8 glasses of water but I need to drink more! I just get so busy that I forget and by the end of the day I have a huge headache because I have not drank enough! This morning it was 34 degrees insunny Florida and I did not feel like having cold water with my breakfast! So, I had tea instead. I know it doesn't count but it was warming! I did eventually drink my 8 glasses but barely.
    Keep up the great work everyone! I hope to fit into all my size 22's by Christmas!

    Pounds to lose before Christmas = 4.5!

    The next c ouple of weeks are going to be tricky with holiday get togethers, parties, work lunches, etc! I know I have to stay focused, it's not like I haven't been to a holiday party before..no need to pig out!

    I lost 1.8 pounds this week. I'm kind of bummed! I know it's still a loss but I was really hoping for more! I think it's because I really need to drink more water!

    SW - 274.4
    CW - 268
    Goal for this challenge - 264.4
    3.6 pounds to go!

    :happy: I ate on Thanksgiving without counting 1 calorie, enjoyed the food and my family. This is what Thanksgiving is for me. I don't think about how overweight I am or how much weight I have to loose (Over 100 ponds!) on this day. I just enjoy it.

    Now it's back on the wagon! I want to challenge myself to loose 10 pounds by Christmas and drink at least 8 glasses water per day.

    Now whose with me? I'm just going to post how much water I drank per day and how much weight I lost or gained on Fridays. Starting tomorrow, I will post my starting weight, which I'm sure will be higher than todays. :blushing:

    Good Luck all those who want to join me!

    This morning I officially hit my -10 pound goal BEFORE Christmas! Anything lost between now and Christmas is just gravy!!!! :happy:

    I weghed myself thismorning and I was disappointed to see that I only lost 1 pound this week. I guess it's better than not losing any or even worse gaining, especially at this time of year! Luckily, I have no social life and don't get invited to Christmas parties!

    So...
    Start weight for challenge 274.4
    CW = 267
    GW for challenge = 264.4
    Lost fro this challenge = 7.4 pounds
    2.6 pounds to lose next week if I want to win this challenge.
    Is this realistic, NO but I will try!
