CherokeeTopaz -- I keep thinking Mona Lisa. :)

@addisonquin -- young Ellen Barkin.

Oh man you guys... I forgot about the challenge. But I did gain some awesome new friends. I'm not going to be down 10 or even close by New Year's but I'm OK with it. :)

love my food scale -- it has been key to my daughter (down 25) and my (down 15) weight loss.

That was some perfect advice. Very wise and thoughtful.

Nice! :)

I can't keep sweets in the house either because when I get moody I get into them and then figure what the heck and eat more and then...

Ha! I read Chocolate Chip Cookies too. I even had a Chips Ahoy vision. I would say a once in a while thing is not a big deal. When you can't stop, or if you do it emotionally, there might be a problem. I struggle with compulsive eating when I feel really down and when I'm unhappy -- I can relate.

Well now -- THAT was a great start. We're getting serious today. Did 30DS and today I will drink a whole lot of water. I went to NYC this weekend to see any and was minorly bad. CW:154.4 GW: 135 11/26 : 154.4 12/03: 156.8 12/10: 12/17: 12/24: 12/31:

it's on my Christmas wish list!

if you're feeling tighter and your waist is shrinking -- you're making progress. keep it up! :)

Congrats on your engagement!!! You should get it to fit you now -- and then if you need to get it sized to fit your new healthier body later so be it. I'm sure your jeweler is just making the best decision for now, but down the road, they will be able to resize, probably not quite as easily. Your fiancee did a great job by…

No goatee! You have a very nice chin / jaw -- show it!

that's a funny one!

good point!

welcome Mary. spend time here -- read the boards, get some friends and you WILL succeed. Your daughter is right.

good advice!

Such nice posts! I agree that exercise is the key to keeping positive -- I love the advice that you should tell yourself if you give in you will feel worse in the long run. Hang in there -- you ARE beautiful Helen. Susan
