We got through the holidays!!
Well, Ladies! We have come to the end of another challenge group. I am so happy that even just a couple of us hung in there together! I see that we all did pretty well - maybe not meeting all of our goals 100% (I know I didn't!!) - but with keeping those goals in our minds, we weathered through the holiday eating frenzies…

Check-in December 13th
Can't believe we are almost half way through December and Christmas is in less than 2 weeks away - I'm really glad to have this a place to check in every week! I'm a little worried about all the food related events I have coming up: a dinner for work, 4 parties, a dinner & concert night with friends. In addation all the…

Check-in - December 6th
We are now into our last month of this challenge, and I'm glad to see at least a couple of folks are still hanging on. If you are like me, you are full on into the holiday season - shopping, decorating, baking and cleaning! And then there are the parties...oh, the parties! And for me, tack on that my birthday falls this…

Tis the Season
November is almost over and December is right around the corner – this means quality time with friends and loved ones, cold nights wrapped up on the couch watching classic movies, awesome work and holiday parties, and an extra ten pounds of unwanted weight as a result of: ~ minimal exercise – it’s too cold! ~ maximum…

Check-in - November 29th
Well, a week after Thanksgiving, and 2 weeks after TOM and I within a lb of my weight before TOM. But I take full responsibility for that number, admitting that I am not on top of my game. I am not ok with it, but apparently not upset enough to change my ways! I am still hitting the gym only once a week - although planning…

Thanksgiving Week - Lord Give Me Strength!
Well, this is the week of our first big challenging holiday of the season! I wanted to post a special topic to make sure that we have a place to keep our seasonal challenge goal in our mind this week! If you do well - it goes a long way in proving to yourself that you can handle whatever December has to throw at you!! And…

Check-In - November 15th
Sorry that I am so behind in posting this week's checkin page. Last week was not one of my best. Bad TOM, bad eating, limited exercise and just not a great attitude. I did not weigh in Thursday, due to severe edema. It's finally subsiding - but with TOM I"m just going to take a bye week and weigh in...yes, on Thanksgiving…

Check-in - November 8th
Happy Thursday all! I have to admit that I'm pretty disappointed that we went from almost a dozen initial folks down to only 3 or 4 checking in each week. But, that is just how it goes in MFP sometimes. I know there are a few who haven't been back to MFP for over a month to log in, and others who moved on to other…

Check in - November 1st
Happy Friday All! Well, we are one month into our challenge. It looks like we've already seen a number of original participants drop - and that's ok. This is really just a place you can use to help hold yourself accountable during the holidays! I hope at least some of you will hang in there with me!! Sorry that I wasn't…

Beginnings
I am new to the group and fairly new to MFP. Last year I lost 60 pounds and have maintained 55 pounds until a month ago when I gained back 10 pounds. It was a stressful month with family deaths, family member with cancer and other illnesses. It is time to turn this around before the holidays get here. That isn't very far…
