158.5#

Woo Hoo..... Awesome job... Keep it up Ms T.

[Tawanda]

Thank you Katie! I thought I posted my thank you yesterday morning, obviously not--- weird!

I've been bouncing back and forth still with 158.5 and 159. Tonight I bought a new scale. My old one was able to measure in half pound increments, the new one supposedly can do tenth of pound measurements. I will try it out in the morning.

Hope everyone is doing well.

159.8# this morning. I don't think I like this new scale's attitude.

I've been very lax about drinking my water. Time to change.

[katieb920]

You can do it girl. I love my scale breaking it down to the tenth. Be cause if I only lose a 1/4 of a pound I still LOst.

You can do it girl.

I skipped another day here? I don't know what is happening. I know I visited the site yesterday, did I just compose my note in my head and never typed it out? Did I type it out, preview it and then went on my merry way without publishing it? I'm flaking out some how.

I was in a bum mood yesterday morning after weighing...and this morning's weight has done little to make me feel any better about that new scale and my rotten body . Yesterday's weight was 160.4!!!! This morning it is 159.8!!! What in the world?! Making me cranky! I did not ever want to go above 158.5 again....and then to see the pounds come back? Grumble, growl and gripe!

I have been having a tough time being surrounded by holiday goodies in our home. Our adult child, that returned home, has been doing a lot of candy & cookie baking. There are constantly cooling racks of candy, fudge and cookies on my dining room table and kitchen counters. I have not given in to temptation -----yet. I know that if I take one bite that I'll want more and more and more... I'm too close to my goal to stop now. I wonder if I will ever be a 'normal' sweets eater. I doubt it.

Hope everyone is doing well.

I admire your resolve to walk by the candy and cookie table, I just stop and let it suck me in!

Oksoonergal....it is not easy to ignore the candy, cheesecake and cookies. I'm only 11# from goal and I still have a job to finish. Next Christmas, I can have small servings of whatever I want, if I maintain my goal weight. Healthy weight is worth the 'deprivation' this holiday.

158.5 this morning. We had a wonderful time last night (Christmas with our children and grandchildren). I stayed away from the sugary goodies and stuck to a program L & G.

I'm coming down with a sore throat and cold, so not feeling very chatty or energetic. I hope everyone is doing well.....

[oksoonergirl26]

I hope you get to feeling better! I rely on Emergen-C packets (you can find them in the vitamin aisle) to get me through the icky times.

[Tawanda]

Feeling a bit better this morning. Fever seems to be gone and face doesn't hurt as much. On the road to recovery.

156# this morning. Only 9# to goal! I'm pumped!

I don't have anything planned for today. I was suppose to babysit some grandchildren but someone else will be doing it since I was feeling so lousy yesterday & the fever. Did not want to expose the children, even though they probably were the ones to share their germs with me.

Hope everyone is doing well, on program or just being mindful of what you are consuming while you wait to refocus on weight loss and getting healthier--after the holidays.

so happy for you!

Happy Holidays and happy new year

[Tawanda]

Thanks Joy.

157# again today (back up 1#). Still on program and still dealing with the cold. Having this cold may end up being a blessing, I cannot smell anything so won't be tempted by the smells of the goodies at Christmas gatherings. Now I'll only have to work on situating myself where I won't be constantly seeing them. Should be very doable. I'm too close to goal to want to derail myself. All of those Christmas foods will be available next year, when I'm at my healthy weight.

None of those foods are worth eating and making me feel badly about myself or my decisions.

[Tawanda]

Merry Christmas!

We had a nice time visiting with family yesterday and today will be more time with family. I still cannot smell anything, glad the cold is hanging around for these gatherings to help me stay on program, not being tempted my aromas/smells of the holiday sweets. Thankful for a cold on Christmas? LOL

156# this morning.
