I of course need motivation too from time to time and I have found it here.


You guys have been a big part of my support network and I thank you.


The holdiays are always tough time to try and loose weight, I am going to commit to myself that I not gain through the holidays. I really don't have all that many plans but I am sure there will be temptations here and there.


I keep reading this article about how long it will take to run off various goodies that are bad for you.

I admire your enthusiasm, Jodi. Holidays are a VERY hard time to stick to plan! I have the best of intentions to stay on plan right now, but it's not going to be easy. I work in a nursing home, so at Christmas time all the families of the residents give gifts of chocolate and baked goods to the nursing staff, which is always sitting right there at the nursing station, calling my name!! And my biggest excuse is "Ah, what the hell, it's the holidays, after all!!" I'm not sure what my strategy will be this year for avoiding the junk food, but we'll see. Another thing that makes it so hard is when you are actually given a gift of food. I know my sisters won't do that to me this year, but sometimes the residents will give you a little box of chocolates or something, so what do you do with that?

Anyway, last year I was lucky, and didn't gain a pound, even though I ate like crap for 2 whole weeks! This year I know I won't be so lucky, so I've really gotta exercise self control. Maybe you could post that article you were talking about? It might be a good incentive for all of us! ~Sabrina

Thank you Darlin.


Things have not been good at all. Its possible I feel this is the one thing I have some control over and that is why I am hanging on to it so much.


This is the first time in my life that I have stayed focused.


So I am giving it my all. Hoping I become healthier and just a stronger me all the way around.
