Thanks for this post! I've been agonizing over the upcoming holidays and thinking I should somewhat deprive myself of a big, yummy meal. But, after reading this, I've decided that would be terribly dumb on my part and I should be able to celebrate for ONE day. Thank you, PinkPixie

I was too! I am a California native so I was totally looking forward to having those snow days. I think we've only had like 4 of them over the past 4 years, lol. Super disappointing.

Agreed. I live in Fargo/Moorhead and that's exactly how it is here--the world doesn't stop turning because it's freezing outside or we have tons of snow...would be nice to get more snow days though, lol.

Lol! I do the same. Although, it's usually housework that I'm putting off so I can exercise...oh well! :)

Agreed.

I can't believe people would actually say something like this--Super annoying and rude, geez! I have a toddler and go to the gym almost daily and my bambino loves it! Kids just happen to be an excuse for some people. Finding time is the key for everyone-kids or no kids :)

This. It keeps me on track :)

118 days for me! Doesn't seem like much compared to everyone else's though, lol. :)

Hello! Always looking for more friends--Feel free to add! :)

Hi, welcome! I'm a book nerd too! Sending you a friend request :)

"20 Percent smaller than you think you are" The Perfect Pear! This was a lot of fun and SUPER eye opening!

I definitely try to move more during the day. My almost 2 year will do yoga with me and it's fun to do together. I also run in place ten minutes at a time a couple times throughout the day. I also just try to play a lot so I am not constantly thinking about food, lol. I hope you find a few tricks that work for you! :)

I second this! :)

10/10: 155.2 Total loss: 9.2 pounds I had a great week so far! Hoping for another great one--Only 5 pounds to go until I reach my goal!

To me, it sounds like water weight from consuming extra sodium.

I'm in no way an expert and don't know of any scientific studies to help prove your friends wrong, but I have lost almost 50 pounds (exactly 48) since the middle of April by eating whenever I want. Most days I don't eat "breakfast" until 2pm and sometimes dinner is around 11pm, lol. I'm a CICO *kitten* all the way! :)

This. Having a plan for the day reduces my risk of temptation.
