Oh the joys of Mother Nature in Southern California...I live in a city that was previously unknown to those that didn't live here that is now infamous. We had a GIANT fire in our mountains last year, and now that we've been struck with 6 straight days of rain, there's worry about mudslides and floods. Meteorologists are…

Stacy, I'm so happy you've broken through your plateau! That is wonderful.

Alright everyone, the weigh in log is updated I'm sorry I've been such a slacker on keeping them up to date! Just hasn't been as easy to keep up on as the Halloween challenge. :(

Jsecret, I am totally with you on the scale obsessed thing. I keep justifying it as "let's see where I am so I know how hard to work for Wednesday..." and c'mon, no good comes from that! :laugh:

I think this group is my Christmas Present this year. I didn't know that I needed you guys, and now that I have you, I can't get through a day without you. Thank you all for being such great friends. *hug* We'll make it through the holidays and will have a fantastic start to the new year. I'm sure of it!

Yes on the REAL men! Broad shoulders, arms to keep you safe and secure and to snuggle with. My husband is my big bear and I think he is perfect.

April, I sure hope things lighten up for you soon. Christmas stress is the worst. Summer, you looked great tonight! TOM is such a biitch with the scale. You'll make it through the holidays. Just gotta stay positive! Does building Lego Death Stars burn calories? :tongue:

SW: 180.8 CW: 174.0 (-2.6 lbs. this week) GW: 168.8 6.8 of 12 Yay! That's what I'm talking about.

This time last year I was 198. I'm now 176.

And this post is dedicated to iluvwdw...she needed some images of sunny Disneyland to brighten her spirits. I was only able to get one sunny shot, but I've got a couple showing Disney Chrismas magic that I'm also sharing. Here's a big Mickey hug to you, iluvwdw! A sunny backstage view from the parking structure... The…

Jsecret - congrats on only being one pound away from your challenge GW. That's very exciting! Summer, hope the hellish splurge was fun and that you enjoyed it! You've had such great success, I know you're only going to have more. Bru - I can totally see how Americans can gain weight from the holidays. Even when bring…

Very well done!! Enjoy the sweet sweet victory!

What about this? Totally adorable, I think! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380247241217&hlp=false&rvr_id=183883137264&crlp=1_263602_304652&UA=WVS%3F&GUID=a693118c1260a0b584416cd1ffece227&itemid=380247241217&ff4=263602_304652 Or this bracelet is really pretty:…

Yay Week 7! April, great job with the challenges this week. I doubt I'll be having a good weigh-in this week. First my birthday on Thursday, then a Christmas party last night, and then tonight we're going out again to see a friend's band/celebrating my b-day with friends. Yipes! I'll be in here to comment on everyone's…

Aw Stacy! You're such an inspiration, I hate seeing you become discouraged. Y'know what I think? You're always impeccably cheery and supportive and persistent, which are all spectacular parts of who you are. But I think it is time for you to... PUT ON YOUR WAR FACE! Eff your plateau! Let's get angry! Show those 3 pounds…

SW: 180.8 CW: 176.6 GW: 168.8 4.2 of 12 A little backslide this week. Started nightly working out again and I'm feeling good, so I'm not going to fret.

I totally LOL'd at the "keep it secret, except that it is online" part. :laugh: But OK, I won't tell her. Because one I tell her it will get to Nancy, and Marla, and...yeah. This is a need-to-know situation! I like your Valentine's day idea! 'Cause we ARE seriously sexy! Grrrrrr Went to a family friend's birthday party…

Look at you go! I think you're right, keep 150 your goal. 30 pounds made such a difference on your body!!

[/quote] Thanks Pinkee! My daughter and I love to do it...we had a hard time stopping this year. So many beautiful things.... [/quote] I know what you mean! My storage box of ornaments is probably more than half full this year because A) can't decorate lower than half-way because of our puppy German Shepherd, and B) 80% of…

Such pretty decorations, Nursee!

Heya everyone! I read through everyone's updates - looks like we're having a little bit of a tough time this week. We gotta keep on keepin' on while still having fun and enjoying this special time of year. I'm also struggling this week. Have been good with staying under my calories, but Saturday was a wedding and while the…

Fantastic challenges, April!! I definitely need to get back into doing leg lifts regularly. And the meditation sounds like just what I need right now. Thanks for the birthday wishes!! :) Will be spending that day at Disneyland (of course). I know this is going to sound repetitive, but my fave part of the season is…

April-ooohh I hope the stork is on his way! I hope you take a test, I'm anxious for you! Lol Bru-I hope you find yourself with a bun in the oven soon. And I also hope there isn't a medical problem with you or Nick. But adoption would be wonderful too! On a much less serious note I think I'm changing my weigh-in day to…

*Super Mario Bros. geek hat on* What's Mario's favorite pants fabric? Denim, denim, denim...

Completely understand. Just gotta remember that no matter what when the time is right it will happen. :)

Glad to hear Walt is happy with what may be! When do you think you'll take a test?

I think we need a giant group hug. *HHHUUUUUUGGGGG!!* Congrats on the losses, Kattungen and Jsecret! You guys are doing a fantastic job, and at a great pace to boot! Violet, I hear 'ya on learning how Thanksgiving hits our bodies! I was shocked when the next day after the feast I was down a pound and a half. And then BOOM!…

Never heard of it but it sounds absolutely delicious! Another delicious Bigelow flavor is French Vanilla. *drool*

Oh honey. *hug* I'm so sorry about your grandmother. Losing family, especially so close to the holidays, is especially gut-wrenching. I've been there too. You'll find the strength inside you to continue on. You'll never fully loose the pain of loss, but you will learn how to live with it. I hope you're able to find…
