WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.
Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.
I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them! LW's!!!
Afternoon LW's!!!! DH went hunting and I've spent the whole morning and part of the afternoon on facebook. I don't get to catch up with friends and family when I'm working so I took advantage of it today. The holidays were wonderful but I am sooooo ready to go back to work tomorrow! Cleared my house of candy and sweets. I have no desire to have any of it but why even have the temptation around.

Congrats on the new grandson!!
I agree 100 percent! Holidays, Parties, and Family get togethers are things I love especially around the holidays and usually that includes eating. I think guilt and regrets can lead to destruction and more overeating.

Happy New Year Roz!
Just before Christmas our fifth grandson was born. He's beautiful and perfect in every way! (Of course :D ) I got home just in time to greet my sister and her family, they just left this morning. I'll miss them tremendously, but it's nice to have my home back in order. My sister and I love to cook together, and when we do it's always amazingly delicious. (AKA carby and fatty) I'm glad she's gone from my kitchen! HAH! I woke up Christmas morning to a nearly 2 pound weight gain. I didn't like it, but I have no regrets. I have thoroughly enjoyed this entire month and couldn't be happier. I know that life will happen and I'll have to make adjustments along the way. I would never be happy if I had to live without times like this last month. I'm a firm believer in moderation, not deprivation.
I appreciate everyone here and I wish you all a happy and healthy new year.

Missed the last few weigh ins.
December 4, 123.8 (last weigh in)
December 18, just got home from Florida, new grandson! Yay! Weighed 122.4
December 25, well ..Christmas, LOL. Weighed in at 124.4 (Ugh)
January 1 123.0. Well, at least it's going in the right direction again.
The month of December was filled with love and family and a few too many cookies. I know those fluctuations are due to increased carb intake and it was temporary water weight, but that was not a pleasant feeling Christmas morning. Made the proper adjustments and getting back on track as of today. No regrets. :)
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas season!

I have more gas than Exxon! Walking as much as I can. My BF took me to the store and I scooted around in a motorized cart. Not a lot of stamina. Follow up Tuesday. Drinking is ok. I think I'm even going over the minimum.

Sounds like you are doing Awesome!!! It's perfectly normal to be tired. Rest as much as you can and don't over do it. You will be bloated for awhile. Don't be surprised if you start having a lot of gas . That's normal and it will help with the bloating. Just walk a lot and use the GasX strips that melt on your tongue. The appetite might not come for awhile. Try to get your liquids in. There is another stage that some go through and some don't. It hit me pretty bad for a week. My emotions were so out of whack!! I had regrets and wondered why I did this to myself. I cried constantly. Like I said it only lasted about a week and a couple of days but it was hard on my family.
Keep me updated!!

HELLO 2017!!!!!
I"m hoping a lot of our "old" posters and new ones stop in and catch up!! It's been pretty lonely for me on the LW board and I've been guilty of not posting every day. I need you all!!! It's really hard to keep posting every day when you don't feel you are getting any feed back out of it. I promise to do better!!! Please commit with me!!!!
I'm soooo excited for the new year!! 2016 was good to us! No major health problems, DH retired and is loving it which was a HUGE concern for me, and I got a good raise at work and a new girl to work with who is smart and sweet.
I'm about 2 pounds over my 3 point range but not concerned. I've been enjoying way to many "goodies" but that's all done with as of midnight last night.
I've been laxed on my Vitamins and Supplements but even though my recent labs were good I promised myself and DH to start taking them religiously. I know if I don't I might not be as lucky the next time I get labs.
Praying everyone has an Awesome 2017.....to new beginnings!!!
