    It's not even xmas eve yet and I just ate a giant turkey, turkey bacon, avocado, and cheese hoagie. I'm about to eat a cinnamon bun and I'll probably have popcorn too. I can't even deal right now. Don't care.

    I had lost over 80 lbs in 2015 and I gained almost 10 back due to holidays.
    I'm having a hard time getting back into my groove of weight loss- as I have 15-20 lbs left to go :/

    Hi amynb! Awesome job first off! I was able to lose over 60 myself! Last year I went on a cruise and gained ocer 5 lbs in a week due to the eating. Once I got back home and started being more serious with my eating it left pretty quickly. I think we beed to keep thinking and encouraging ourselves that we did a ton of progress this past year. That if we continue with our current eating habits, do we really want to go back? I know I sure don't!! Eating crazily this past month has brought back some of my previous bad habits. It may take a while to shake off but I will eventually. So will you! If ever you need encouragement, write me anytime! Heading back to normal work week as of tomorrow, so it should surely help to get somewhat of a routine back! Best, steph

    It's hard to get back on track mentally after the holidays. At least for me. Today is still a holiday for me because my family is celebrating late this year - or rather last year I guess. I'm sleep deprived and exhausted. Will be so glad to be home and back at work/normal routine tomorrow

    We have lost it once and we can lose the holiday pounds again. Personally I have to get over the mindset that "well ... its just one chocolate/mince pie/scoop of dip, etc.". I need to toss out the excuses and get back on track using how pleased I was with the way my pants fit, and how flat my stomach was getting as the carrot and stick.

    Bingo jelaan!! That's how I started my whole eating fiasco! I started emotional eating a few years back and finally managed to get on track and lose. Now i have to be honest with myself because I know one bite or scoop or whatnot eventually turns to two, three...
    I need hobbies lol
