Welcome every!!! Christmas decoration seem to be looming over a few of us, so today do just one thing (hang ordiments(sp), hang a strand of lights, wrap the garland around the tree), if you break it down into manageable daily tasks, it won't seem so huge of a task!!! Hope everyone has a great day!0

I'm in! I just emailed you with my starting weight. I would like to lose 8 pounds in the two weeks! I have started pumping up the exercise so I'm hoping this will help. Not doing a lot of partying at the holidays so that shouldn't be a problem. I will be happy with 6 pounds though!0
