    Count me in! Logging in my foods has been hit n miss. Who says you can't lose or at least remain the same weight during the holidays?

    The more the merrier!

    Val, I’m a huge stress eater so I try to make sure I have almonds to snack on or gum to keep my mouth busy. And I try to drink water. Not saying it works every time, but it helps. I’m so proud you logged it anyway! That is a victory in my books!

    I find it most helpful to log my foods as I am making my meals. This helps me make better choices.

    Oh the subject of Christmas cookies... I have been avoiding this for a week. Self control is so hard after a fresh batch of cookies comes out of the oven

    Kalvarez-you are not kidding. Did well yesterday. Today I indulged a bit. But I logged them. :)

    I have logged today, had to cover with exercise calories to get through. I guess that is why I exercise - so I can have toasted cheese for lunch.

    I logged and I was 13 calories over. doh. But I'm at 1200 calories so it's not easy. I did manage to get to spin. one step at a time I guess.

    Hi! I logged today! You're so right, why wait until Jan 1st!? I did so well with MFP early in the year, lost a few lbs. The second half of the year, I gained it back, and then some. I'm going to try and log correctly this weekend and watch my plate size during family gatherings.

    Did you add in some of those exercise calories.

    This is awesome and just what I need! I just saw this thread and am excited to start logging ...in the a.m. whether it is healthy or a little off, as I feeI if I don’t begin now, it may not happen and my body feels more sluggish the more I gain. I am wanting to be and feel lighter and take care of my body with healthy choices like less caffeine and more water and produce. Add me as a friend for support cause I can really use support too. I need to drop 50 + pounds. But I am going to take it one pound at a time.

    I’ll join! One of my goals is to keep logging everything through the new year - with any holiday eating included. I do much less damage when I’m accountable for logging every bite.

    I have logged everything I have eaten so far today. I treat myself to a latte on the days I have my haircut or have my nails done. So today I am using my exercise calories for my latte. Tomorrow I will have to watch myself--I am not going to the gym. I am going to grandson's Christmas program.
