Morning all. Well today I am back down to 7 pounds from my christmas goal and boy do I ever hear the clock ticking lol.
Oddly enough I ate one plate of thanksgiving dinner turkey, stuffing (I know bad bad) deviled eggs and some stuffed mushrooms my cousin had made. I had appetizers of cheese ball and mussels. I was down 2 pounds next day. SO kids were visiting and we made one their birthday lasagna and I had a 3x3 square....next day down another pound. Yesterday I had two cookies at a party at work and today down 2 pounds.
SO today I am on strict induction again after my holiday splurges but I learned that I need to EAT. Not stuffing and cookies but EAT. I think I was so not hungry for so long I was in starvation mode and holding water and that was making me gain.
I have it moving again so going to do only legal foods til christmas but make sure I eat and hopefully I make 145 by then. Wish me luck.
BTW I AM NOT advocating cookies and stuffing just found it wierd I still lost eating small portions of them but must have been cause my body was starving before.
Good luck everyone.

Ok My husband is eating chinese food in front of me right now...can I kill him?
Ok I'll let him live I guess.
Man it smells good tho
Anyway...wanted to check in and see how we are all doing with 22 days left until christmas. I am thiking I am not gonna make the 145 in time but gonna try to get as close as possible. How's it going for everyone else? ROLL CALL PEEPS.

Well, no idea where all ya'll went to but needless to say I did NOT make my christmas goal. But gosh darn it I made this goal in july or august and came awful darn close lol I can wear a womens 8 and was like a 14 or 16 when i took this challenge so I am calling it a success.
How'd we all do?
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Hi All! Merry Christmas! I too did not make my Christmas goal but I am still down 52 lbs. I have about 30 more to go before July and I will be all set. I am happy where I am for the time being and am enjoying the holiday and not worrying about carbs or calories. I will go back to it next week, and it will be all good again. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday and a happy happy new year! Good luck to all in the new year!

COPngratulations to Rhonda and Jenic -- how great for you to have done so so so well. I had a bad phase now for the weel up to Chrsitmas -- and am frightened to even weigh myself -- I ate in panic and too often... But I am going to get a new goal and get started on low carb -low-cal tomorrow after having a day of fruit detoxing...But You Have Both Inspired me!!
