  1. Happy New Year Everyone,

    I crawled back to WW Monday to find out how many pounds Santa had left me...... And was I surprised
    that it was only 3.2! That's the first time I have ever been HAPPY to hear that I had gained over
    three lbs.!! I was just so darn glad it was NOT the 10 I had been expecting after eating dozens of
    chocolate cookies over the holidays.

    I was really out of control. I was in the middle a family crisis, when 10 out-of town relatives
    decided to come for an extended visit, and the stress was too much. Despite all my careful planning
    to survive....I caved and started a week-long cookie binge. The last bit of company left Saturday,
    and I have been on program ever since.

    It being the first of the year...I, like many others, have new-found motivation and am chomping at
    the bit to join the next challenge. I signed up for the last two and didn't really work at it....so
    I am hoping I'll stick to it this time. If someone could point me in the direction of who is doing
    the challenge I will appreciate it.

    I have simply got to make a commitment to read and post on this newsgroup, because when I do it, I
    lose, and when I don't, I don't! O.K. here is my promise to check in here everyday. Done. Now all I
    have to do is sit back and watch those lbs. fall off. LOL

    Thanks to every single one of you for being here and for all of your support.... You are great!

  2. Amberle is hosting the next challenge, Resolutions Are for Losers (RAFL). Here's the
    website: angelfire.comrafl.htm. She has an online form that you
    can use to sign up.

    Sorry to hear your holidays were so stressful. At least everyone's gone home now and you can get
    back to taking care of yourself.

    I had holiday guests, too, and although I didn't indulge too heavily in sweets, I did give up my
    exercise program for a couple of weeks. Finally made it back to the gym tonight for some
    cardio/strength training work. My muscles are sore, almost like starting over. But boy, it sure
    feels good. I imagine that's a little like how you're feeling with your company gone and getting
    yourself back on program.

    You're right about the value of this NG. I look forward to hearing about your progress.

    That is great that Santa did not leave you with that many lbs gained. = You must have been on the
    good list. It is funny how when losing weight = we can put things in perspective and be happy about
    only gaining 3 lbs = when expecting 10 especially when we are stressed out. Kristine "Billie Severy"

  6. I would be happy with that too, Billie. I gained 5.2 pounds over Christmas... ugh. We'll get it back
    off though, no worries! Good luck!

  7. I totally relate! I was just the same - put on less than I expected, and
    didn't mind too much, since at least I knew I'd been bad! 🙂

    welcome back to the New Year, a new start, and a New You :0)
