I sure did enjoy the day off. You got it right when you suggested we need to take care of ourselves. After all we have been through....we still need reminders that we must put our health first. I am terrible with exercise...always starting with a fury and then ending up with a fizzle.....I need to get back on the treadmill. No excuses. Have a great day Irene.

Glad you posted! I have been having my struggle with 5 lbs. Beginning in the Spring, I walked 5-7 days a week, sometimes for more than an hour, plus did some strength training exercise 3 days a week. Then the cold weather hit! I've slowly dropped the workouts... First it was the walking, then I'd skip a few workouts. Then I stopped going to the gym and instead worked out at home... eventually didn't even do that.... No wonder I'm up 5 lbs! More importantly I haven't been feeling as well as I was with the exercise... One day at work I had a pounding headache and asked my boss to take my BP and it was high. Scary to think that I could end up back on BP meds! Don't want to go there again... So I've had to make a decision that I NEED to take care of me. And exercise will have to be part of that. This week, I got up and walked 3 out of 4 mornings. I will be slowly working back into exercise.
I want to feel better. Little by little I'm sure I will - and so will you, Karen. Hang in there with the liquids. Doing ANYTHING is better than doing nothing. Every little bit helps. I hope you enjoyed your day off!

I'm here, the holiday season has just proven to be quite busy! I did okay with Turkey week. I love turkey so that is good. I just really wasn't in the mood for much of the other stuff. I did indulge in some pumpkin pie that I made. Lucky for me my kids devour most of it, so it doesnt stay around the house. I've been doing well with my exercise. I got back on track with my cardio and weight training! I hope everyone else had a wonderful week!!

Well I posted yesterday in response to Pamela and I think I will post again today....I have gone back to liquids and although it is hard I know it is the best to give me a pre Chirstmas jump start. I am not going near the scale because my head tells me there is no way I can be up...but if I get on the scale and I am not down as much as I think...I will feel disappointed to I am staying away. Hope everyone has a great day. I took a day from work as a "me day" and just rested and did a little xmas wrapping and dealt with a low grade headache. It is a well deserved day off. Hugs to all....

Pamela and all,
Well I do check in fairly often and you deserve the goal medal for keeping us going with your posting. Please don't give up...keep going and keep letting us know about the baby news.....I don't post often...I am ususaly at work and don't post on that computer but I do check and look forward to seeing everyone's success. I am still hovering in the 160's and have just started back on the liquids to try and get to goal. I have been so busy that I often put myself last and don't get all the protein, water, vitamins and exercise that I need....there is no excuse....I need to put me first but that is hard....keep posting eveyone.....I do think we are stronger when we are together...it is a long lonely road and the holidays are a mixed blessing....I know I can't gain 20 pounds like other years but still sometimes I want to try all this food and I just can't anymore so there is a little anger or upset with the fact that nothing settles......or feels good.....when you only have so much room and you love the feeling of eating...the holidays are a real disappointment insofar as food is concerned....I know that that is not the point of the holidays but I think it is hard for people with food issues...hugs to all....let's stay together gals..
Hugs, Karen

Hi All,
I do check in here every day - usually a couple of times, but don't always post depending on whether or not I've got an eating plan or not.
I'm doing OK - I still have problems with stress eating and comfort eating, and I'm trying to work around that. I set a limit of 180 lbs. and refuse to go over that. I weigh every day and seem to be hovering around 175 - 176. I'm not actively trying to lose at this point - not in the mood. I'm aiming for a new start for New Year's but not going to go overboard beforehand.
Pamela - you're in my prayers and I know soon we'll hear the happy news!!
Love you all and hope you all have a great week. 
Hugs,
Nancy

Hi Deejay!
It's so nice to see you here! You are doing fantastic - how do you maintain? I still have some issues with food - comfort, stress-eating etc., so I am back to struggling to lose or even to maintain. Bummer..... 
I wish I could get a tummy tuck - I've got to have at least 8-10 lbs. hanging around there, but insurance won't cover and I just can't get myself into any more debt.
Still, I'm WAY better off than I was 100 lbs ago and I thank God for the blessing of this surgery.
Keep well and keep in touch!
Love ya!
Nancy
