I truly understand. I didn't get to send out a few, so I picked up a pack of Happy New Years cards instead. Best of holidays to you, Chantal!!

I hear ya Rebecca,
People are dropping off Sees Candy, fudge, homemade cookies and all the stuff that is driving me into insanity. I am re-gifting them and giving them to other people so I won't eat them. I am shocked that I haven't gained a ton but I am not losing fast but not gaining but it truly is a struggle.
Have a wonderful Christmas,
Hugs, Esther

Last week: 178.5
This week: 177
This weeks loss: 1.5
Total weight loss: 102.5 pounds
For all the Christmas goodies I have been eating, I am not complaining.
Have a great Christmas!
Love and hugs,
Esther

Well, I feel like a loser this week...and not in a good way!
Day of surgery: 367
Last week: 236
This week: 235
Loss this week: 1 lb...
Total loss: 132 lbs
1 lb?! Are you kidding me?! I was sick all week and barely ate for days..........and all I lost was 1 lb. The doctor assured me that a week of steroids wouldn't make me gain weight........but dang, I can't even remember the last time I only lost 1 lb. Ugh, I hope I have a better week this week...but it's Christmas. Grr!!!! lol...anyway...Merry Christmas everyone!

Rebecca, you definitely are not alone, the crazy part...I'm not so sure
Just kidding. I know what you mean, and I already feel like I've given myself somewhat of a free pass for a few days, not good! There are only a couple of days of this madness left and that's it, hang in there buddy! Just think of other years and the choices we would have made. I would live to eat during the holidays, it was the highlight. This year, that isn't going to be happening!

I live this time of year its my favorite but now it seems to be about food..what are we having here, what do I need to cook for there, who is having what..I want it to end..It will be a miracle if I don't gain 10 pounds! I want to scream..I want this to be over with..I want the goodies out of my house and go back to everyday life!
Ok I know this board is very slow right now but if you read this let me know i"m not crazy or alone!
Hugs,
Rebecca

2 lbs a week is good for me and I have done that the past 2 weeks - hope this means I broke my stall!
