Ok, I haven't weighed this month because I know I gained... BUT this today I got ready for church and my size 5 1/2 shoes were TOOOOO Big!!! I don't look skinnier but my feet are definately skinnier :D... I take that as a good sign... I'm going to move the scale to the new addition since the kitchen floor was damaged in the flood as well as the front bathroom ... all the other floors are carpet and that causes the scale to not be accurrate.

Go Leota! Loss doesn't always reflect itself in the scale. Along with weighing yourself, take measurements. It has helped my peace of mind to measure. When I don't show a weight loss the measurements will often show I'm still trimming down.

Thanks everyone fro me happy for me.
I have been geting fudge like there is no tomorrow. I could resist cookies, cake and ice cream I CAN NOT resist fudge. I am back up to 184 however I haven't measured my waist in awhile, months actually. I stsrted at I can't remember 42 or 44 last year. This morning my waist measures 38. I will not stress out if I stay below my suicide weight of 185 until after the New Year I'm OK

I'm sure that I haven't lost. I haven't weighed since the beginning of the month but I know I'm not losing. It's my own fault though. Stress from worrying about Christmas, not enough sleep and my Mamaw sent over her homemade Peanut Butter Balls, Coconut Balls and Peanut Butter Fudge!! YIKES! I'm doomed. I think I have had maybe 4 of the peanut butter balls and maybe 3 of the coconut plus a pinch of the fudge off of MG's.......so that's not too bad. My problem is I don't drink enough water! I can be honest and say I really don't like water. I can't add lemon to it because to me that makes it taste nasty then. Ugh. I am hoping after the holidays I can find time to get on the tredmill. I just have to find the energy! So, I'm sure I'll be sending my fat quarter to someone. That's ok with me!! Maybe next month it will work out better. :)

Wow so much has been goin on here. I've been off for a few days and when I am i miss so much. Congrats to all the lossers and happy wishes to all the found families. Beautiful floors and trees and quilt projects. This is the thread I always look forward to reading every day.
P.S. My college ring that I wear every day that makes a hugh dent in my fat finger is now loose enough to spin freely around and my shoes are getting a little floppy. Yea!

HOLIDAY EATING TIPS
1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows
nothing of the Holiday spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately.
Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.
2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. It's rare... You cannot find it
any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000
calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an
eggnog-alcoholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have
two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!
3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy
does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes.
Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.
4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole
milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an
automatic transmission.
5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your
eating. The whole point of going to a Holiday party is to eat other people's
food for free. Lots of it. Hello?
6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You
can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for
long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a
10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.
7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted
Christmas cookiesin the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and
don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention.
They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never
going to see them again.
8. Same for pies. Apple, Pumpkin,Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or if you
don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When
else do you get to have more than one dessert? LaborDay?
9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory
celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.
10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up
from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-read tips; start over, but
hurry, January is just around the corner. Remember this motto to live by:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely
in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways,
chocolate in one hand and COOKIES in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally
worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"
