    Hi Marie,

    I just got back from a weekend at my daughter's and we went to a Christmas Market and met my other daughter there too. We had a good time and it was really cold.
    I tasted some German Schnitzel on a pretzel bun and had an Apple Toddy. I know it wasn't exactly calorie conscious but it was sooo good!

    I am still maintaining until the big day and then will start taking some of this weight off.

    Good luck to all!

    Made a venison chili last night and it was healthy and delicious. Topped it with Cabot's 50% less fat cheese and had a few scoops with it. Stayed within my calorie goal for the day. Woot! Breakfast will be a 100 calorie whole grain English muffin with a little FF cream cheese and 2 oz of chicken. Lunch will be just like yesterdays...Yum! Dinner will be baked flounder and edamame.

    Does anyone else in the group use an elliptical/cross trainer? I have an Arc cross trainer and it always seems to make my lower back very sore the next day. Does anyone else find the same problem using this type of machine?

    I think I will try one of my new yoga DVDs and do ...wait for it... the OLD, OLD Richard Simmons Sweatin' to the Oldies. It really has been one DVD that helps keep me fit and is doable and fun. ;-) Have a great Tuesday, Everyone!

    As for pictures of family and grandkids, My picture on the left is with me in the center, holding our grandson, my daughter holding our granddaughter, my son-in-law to my right, and my husband in the back. I can't believe I am 51 and have two grandchildren! ;-p

    and will seriously check in after the holidays. Now just maintaining so I don't gain too much and keep things steady.

    My first full day with my new fitbit One and I love it! I went for a walk in a light misty rain this afternoon and I had planned to walk briskly for one hour. Instead, I walked for 75 minutes in order to get to 10,000 steps, which equaled 4.5 miles! Yeah! Now I get to have a snack of 2% cottage cheese and an apple. I forgot how much I love exercising and eating right rather than being lazy, eating rich food and drinking too much wine! So glad to be here with you all!

    Hi, this is my first post and I like the motivation and positivity I'm reading about here on this thread. I'm Maureen and I live in Minnesota. I wish I could post a snowy scene but it looks like we're having a green/brown Christmas unless we get a snowfall tomorrow.

    Here's a photo of my new grandson Zachary:
    4f89te8z9k3r.jpg

    I'm weighing 179.2 right now and want to be 162.0 by Easter.

    I use the Health Kit app on my iPhone to measure my steps and view some nutritional goals, and MFP to log my food daily.

    I'm a lapsed Weight Watcher lifetime member (15 years) who isn't going to go that route anymore because I like using MFP much more. It gives me so much more information and is more motivating and FREE! I had surgery in 2013 and gained weight that I haven't been able to lose.

    Thanks for your support!
    Merry Christmas!

    WEBBY - I love your picture of your family. I will be a new grandma, first time in April and am really excited. I too am a lifetime WW member and have tried going back 3 times and just didn't like it anymore and the set up. I have been here for 4 years now on this site and love it and the people. It keeps me accountable. I am up now with my weight but after the holidays look out I will be losing again.

    Marie is a great gal and is very motivated. She is on a new plan now and losing weight.
    I admire her spirit.

    Enjoy your time here.
