When I read this post, I immediately thought of this image from Lord of the Rings, when Gandalf stops on the bridge and says, "You shall not pass!" to Balrog. You've drawn the line! You are standing your ground. You WILL prevail!

@_JeffreyD_ Have you tried drinking a protein drink before going into a situation (like a game coming on) that tempts you to snack? It really helps me when I think to do that. They fill me up, and I am just not hungry for the temptation. So, even if I nibble a little, I don't overdo it. I've been known to sip on one…

@quiltingjaine I'm so sad to hear that you have the crud, too. Glad you took yesterday to not even get out of your pajamas. Sounds like the perfect way to beat it down. Take care of yourself!

We are surrounded by water here on a barrier island connected to the mainland only by a series of bridges, so I think that's why it feels so cold when the temps drop. That and the fact that I really don't have cold weather clothes in the condo closets! Lol. Same thing holds here in the heat of the summer, though. When it's…

@badats Welcome to the group! I think you'll love it here.

Oh @desolate_angel, what a tragedy. My heart aches for you. What a terrible thing to have happen anytime, but especially on Christmas Eve. I am so very sorry. Hugs to you and your hubby.

@Chapter_3 Your family photos are wonderful and I'm sure the wedding was as well! I'm so happy for you all! I live in Knoxville, TN now, but Hickory where I grew up is just the other side of Asheville/Marion/Swannanoa area in the foothills--still about 1.25 hours west of Charlotte.

@Chapter_3 Where in NC are you going? I grew up in Hickory, and spent tons of time in the NC mountains, especially in those trout streams. We also vacationed at the Outer Banks quite a bit growing up. Mom and Dad used to love to surf fish from the truck at Cape Hatteras. Those were great times! I don't know much about the…

@lita_loses_it_all You are right that this is the perfect group to join for the long haul! This is hands-down, the most supportive, kind, amazing group of people on the internet anywhere! And taking a long journey 10 days at a time has so many benefits. We can all attest to the fact that weight loss is not linear, so the…

@musicsax You did not waste a round! I think of it this way: in the holiday season, just think where I might have ended up if I'd NOT been paying attention and posting here. .2 is nothing in terms of a gain. I cannot believe Christmas is almost here!

@Chapter_3 To answer your question about UGW, right now mine is set at the upper range of Normal BMI. I was obese when I started this again. It was also just a little over 40 lbs, so it felt like a VERY big goal to me at the time. I knew that I would relook that goal when I got there, and I am planning on lowering it by 7…

@BigappleBritt88 I'm so glad you get to spend some time with your Mom this weekend. I know it's hard when you move away from family. Also, I love your small, attainable goals for each day! Maybe that's how I need to handle my lack of motivation on the water drinking front! @MizDailey welcome to the group. I think you'll…
