    Minus 7.6

    I have really been watching those calories. There have been so many goodies coming through the office. I have always ignored weight and calories during past holiday seasons but I'm noticing big time this year. One more week till Christmas and next week is a particular challenge. 2 birthday dinners, and open house at my mil's and Christmas day. Weigh in is next Friday though. Wish me luck!

    Didn't check in last week as son had surgery and was in the hospital-he's doing great now and is home. Of course, I'm not getting much in the way of a workout in and I have lots of yummy food around (including the cookie cake my friend just sent him!) calling my name. I'll weigh in on Sunday and hope it's at least the same.

    2010 has been great for me... Got to finish it up strong... I am giving myself a personal challenge for the last 10 days... I would share it, but yall would think I am crazy! I even think I am a little crazy... I have found one of the keys to life... Work on yourself!... Give yourself a year and work on yourself... Then look back and see where you have come from... Too many people give up too soon... Give yourself time to change... You will fail at first, but keep getting up again.

    It has been a struggle for me during the holidays, but this challenge has me determined not to fail... I knew it would be hard for me to lose, but if I dont gain... That will be a first! in 45 yrs!!!

    Gained a pound this week but I'm not overly distressed about it. Lots of stuff going on in our home right now with my son having surgery and a pretty rough recovery makes it difficult to exercise as much as I like and all the goodies make it hard to eat as healthy as I would like. I'm confident that by New Year's, I'll lose that lb. and maybe a friend of his!

    Last weigh in 204. The closer I get to the magic 199 the harder it seems, but I am not giving up or letting up. 2 out of 3 holidays passed, one more to go. The family wants Italian for New Year's Day. :D Love to cook it, but it will be the last had holiday for a while. Good luck everybody. One more week.

    Due to a 3+ week plateau this month I didn't manage to lose much - a couple of pounds only. But like the challenge says, as long as there is no gain it's all good. lol

    Congrats to everyone who managed to maintain over the Holidays! Well done!

    Ok, I'm trying to live between 1200 - 1500 net calories a day (when I get back to where I was, I will up it just a bit). Its a game... I want to have a short fitness session early for some cushion and the last thing I want to do each day is fitness, not food... so then I know how much of a workout I need to stay within my range. I will close my dairy as I get into the bed, to eliminate all cheating... Yes, I'm a bum, been cheating : ) but not, this week!! Just sharing... looking for whats best for me.

    Well, I think I have lost my 2 lb. gain from December's festivities. I'll weigh in tomorrow to see if I maintained or not. My usual day is Sunday but I'm gonna "cheat" a little this week because I know I'm going over on calories on Friday night (even with the double spin I plan to do) and on Saturday we are having crab legs for New Year's dinner and the sodium will kill me! So Friday this week (and I think it's gonna be good) then Sunday's from then on. Happy New Year!
