Thanks for starting the thread Belle --- Enjoy your time away.

 

Hope everyone had a good Christmas.

 

I really tried to be good, and I didn't eat any sweets ... but still managed to gain 0.6# ... hopefully it will be gone next week (but we still have NYE to get through.  Jan

Hello everyone,

 

I gained 1 lb. Bummer. Wish I had done better. I was doing so well weight wise about 2 years ago. At least right now I'm not at my heaviest which is 10 lbs. more than I weigh now. 

 

Also bummed that I am still trying to lose weight from my Sept/Oct cruise!

 

Jan, small gain. You have been doing well losing the past many weeks.

 

Have a good day everyone,

 

Diana

Hi all!

 

Belle ~ thanks for starting the thread & have a nice time.

 

I'm surprised to see that I lost 0.4 lbs!! That's strange with Christmas just over. I did make a Christmas pudding with the brown sugar sauce but took it to a Church function so didn't get to eat much of it, good thing I guess!

 

DIana ~ I am just a smidge below my heaviest & not happy about it. Ideally if I lost 21 lbs I'd be happy but need a change of mindset to do it!!

 

Have a great weekend.& see you next year!!

 

~ Jo ~ 😊

Well Im up .75 and its not coming off easy now..

 

I am back at the gym and hoping I can get down another 10# before the end of March.
 

Belle, have a great time!

Trying to use our sudden decision to buy a Feb cruise for motivation to restart my weight loss. I’d gotten down 5 in November after hitting my all-time high, then gotten lazy again when a bunch of life stuff turned upside down. I managed to keep it off at least, but I was totally stalled out. Thrilled to be down 1 lb since we booked. I seem to snack less when my brain is in overdrive planning something fun. Goal is to try to drop another 5 by sail away on Feb 3, and keep up at least a 2lb/mo pace after returning. Thanks for the motivation fellow cruisers!

I've been off the wagon long enough, 2 months or so, so using the new year as a new start. 

 

Going to go low/zero carbs and processed foods, starting to ease into it today. With my new found love for my smoker, tasty proteins won't be a problem. 

 

Stayed up all night doing a beef brisket (on sale at Costco for $2.99/lb) so I have 10lbs of perfect meat (at 80 calories/oz) to start things off with. 

 

But it'll be the 8/16 fast schedule (eat between 11am-6pm), coffee, salads, cheeses, and that's about it. 

 

The gym has been a savior, getting there 5+ times a week for cardio and weights. Getting off the carbs for a while, I'm hoping to see good results.

 

 

[winewanderer]

Jo, glad we are commiserating together.

 

Faerievert, good loss so far. Your goal is attainable. Will be rooting for you.

 

Shootr, glad you popped in. You sound positive. Ooh, that meat looks so yummy. Gym is good. Hubby and I go everyday. 

 

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Thanks! I've sabotaged myself by being overly ambitious in my goals in the past. This time I'm staying modest with my expectations to set myself up for success. Slow and steady.

 

It's been gain ten, lose five, gain ten, lose five ... for too many years now. Gotta break the cycle because I know it's only going to get harder the longer I keep up this pattern.

Happy New Year 2019....Almost!

 

Had a nice few days away plus a nice Christmas with the kids. Hope you ALL had

a wonderful Christmas however you celebrated.

 

You all did good the gains were small. Now to get through the next few days and

and then start the New Year eating healthy and trying to lose weight.

 

Jan...You didn't eat SWEETS? Great job! I can't say the same. Wish I could.

 

Diana...You do so good going to the gym everyday. Bet you have loss inches.

 

Jo...You lost. That's good at Christmas time.

 

Dave...Your doing good, going to the gym too.

 

Faeirivert...Welcome/ You can lose 5 by your cruise. Just keep at it.

 

Shootr...Good to see you again. You got a good plan. The meat looks so Good!

 

So everyone have a Fun and Safe New Year Eve and Day!

[Belle]

No one around?  Am I the only one sitting home doing nothing?

I'm just being lazy and watching TV. Can't do any work because

New Year's Eve and Day is a Holiday. Right? Cheers!🍷

[winewanderer]

Hello Belle,

 

Welcome back. Glad you had fun during your time away and with your family. We had a quiet New Year's Eve. 

 

Lazy is ok, as you say it's a holiday. 

 

I'm trying to be good eating wise. 

 

Diana

[Belle]

Good Morning!  Are you starting a better eating plan today after eating maybe more

for the holidays?

 

Yes Diana suppose to be lazy for the holidays if you don't have anything planned.

It's a law you know.

Just got the Lose It app to start tracking my food consumption. No particular diet in mind. Just figure i’ll be somewhat  better if I have to see it written out 😂

[Shellbelle28]

Hoooo boy! I gave myself permission to eat however and whatever I wanted the last two weeks of the year.  And the result was not too bad up through the day after Christmas. But it seemed as though the eating from then until New Year's was a big ole binge. Frankly, I didn't feel that great and I'm ready to stop, so that's good. I've gained 5 pounds since my last weigh in. Hoping it goes fast!

I read something yesterday I am encouraged by. "It’s not what you eat between Christmas and New Years, it’s what you eat between New Year’s and Christmas."
