Just a very small correction to my stats. 300 is my Christmas goal. Just hoping to get there early. Thanks so much for all of your work on this thread, Diana. Must be hard to keep track of all of that!

Zed, congratulations on making that goal. You must be so proud!
Diana, just grab hold and hang on. I know you can do this. Sometimes you just have to hang on for the ride. Wishing you the best.

Here is my Christmas goal update.....drumroll.....


30 lbs goal /lost 25 lbs to date / 5 lbs to go!!

Hey, all. I've got an idea if any are interested. Why don't we take advantage of the site's chat feature and set up a time once a month where we all meet in the "lounge" and chat/kind of get to know each other a bit more. I'd love to chat a bit with you awesome forumites. Would anyone be interested?

I guess I should suggest a time. Weeknight or Weekend? Post some suggestions and we can all meet. What do you think?

The chat sounds like a fantastic idea! Everyone is doing extremley well. Way to go everyone!!!!!!!

I have made it down to 200 now, sorry I have been really busy. Just an update on my already chaotic life. My ex husband and I get along great still the children are very happy. The man in my life and I decided our work schedules clash to much and there is not enough time to make a go of anything other than being friends. On the other hand I ran into an old friend a couple of weeks ago and have been spending time with him, I can not believe the way he makes me feel Anyone have thoughts on age differences???? I grew up with my parents 10 years apart so age means nothing to me as long as your happy, however I am having the problem that I am the older one. I am 32 and still get my ID asked for everywhere, apparently I look 25 at the most and that is on a good day. He is quite younger than me, howvere looks older and is very mature. Anyway sorry for rambiling anyone who has not had a glimpse into my stressed life can do so in my journal then you know why I start venting some times. I live for my two boys and since dropping all this weight so far, I am enjoying each new day with a new lease on life. Thanks Diana, I owe a lot to you starting this group.
Everyone have an amazing weekend.

I see no problems with the age difference... I used to work with a lady who in her late 30's married a younger man barely if even into his 20's.... some catty people said it was so he could be close to her 15 or 16 year old daughter... which was not true.... well that was 15 or more years ago now... the couple is still together and happy... they have a teen age son of their own now.... the daughter is happily married with children of her own... which, when is all said and done, to make 15 years together is saying a lot especially since there seems to be so many divorces out there, and usually much sooner then 15 years

Hi all-
I hope all of you have a great (US) Turkey day and stay safe on the roads as you head to your destinations. I'm leaving Monday night so I won't see you guys for a week.

Congrats to all those that lost this past week! I'm working on my Christmas goal. I'll probably reevaluate it when I return. I'm down another 1.5 pounds this week.

zedneser 199, 192.5, 190, 2.5 to Christmas goal

ladyj816- I see no problem with age difference. As long as you make each other happy, it shouldn't matter.

Take care and Go Team!

well I gained a lb this week and so I am even further from my goal for thanksgiving,,, don't think I will make it even if I count the sunday after thanksgiving as final weigh in time though I am still looking possible for xmas

Hello,

Happy to report I am down another 2 lbs this week. Yippy. My new stats are as follows:

Kathleen 275, 257, 18, -7, 11 to Christmas goal

I see to be on track for my Goal so far but I know and Iam due for a stall soon.. (TOM) I should have planned for that but I didn't.. Oh well maybe if I am good It will all work out in the end..

Glad to see everyone still plugging away and doing the best they can! WTG!

LADYJ - I say Go for it! Dive in and enjoy! Age is but a number....

Take care type at ya later....

Hi everyone !!
Wishing us all a Happy Thanksgiving.

I'll be traveling again starting Tuesday and won't be home again until Sunday night. I pray everyone get to their destinations safely and has a fun time.

I don't know what is going on with my WOE. I lost 7 lbs November 16th, then I weighed in this afternoon and was told that I had gained 12 lbs since then?? So I've went backwards...
Same WOE, same scale, the only difference was that I had been drinking a lot of decaf coffee & some regular during the Ice storm. I wasn't doing to good on my water intake this weekend, could that make a 12 lb difference???

I guess I'm now 23 lbs from my Christmas goal... and very discouraged!!!

EEEEEEKKKK!!!!!!

12 lbs seems extreme even for water weight and I can not believe that you ate enough extra calories to have gained that much body fat...so it comes down to where are you being weighed and at what time... ok I see it was at the doctors office.... so it could really depend on the difference in clothes that you were wearing this time... how much liquid and food you had eaten during the day before you went and still their scale could be slightly off... did you ask if they could recalibrate the scale?

take a deep breath and tell us... how do you feel?? do you have enough energy to do everything you want to?? how are your clothes feeling? are they getting any looser?? those are all important questions that can truly let you know how you are doing... I would get a tape measure and see if there are any changes you can document that way.

well.. it is tuesday.. and TOM came to visit me this morning.. the good news is.. even with the normal TOM gain, I am only 0.5 pounds above my lowest weight.. the bad news is. I definately will not be making my Thanksgiving goal.. and I am not sure I can even make my Christmas goal of 223, since I am at 242 right now.. that is 19 to goal in 4 weeks.. hmm.. doubtful. but at least I am still working in that direction.
dianna

ok so I did my weekly weigh in a day early this week due to some unexpected travel to connecticut for a family funeral...


Well I got rid of 2 lbs this week so I missed my thanksgiving goal by 2.5 lbs... I always knew I would have one of those months though I was hoping to avoid it for a while longer... well now onward and downward to my christmas goal which I need to evict another 6 lbs to meet... wish me luck

Well, didn't quite make it to TG goal. Extra work for Christmas. Final Thanksgiving stats.

318, 308, 10, -5, 5 to goal.

Still looking at breaking 300 for Christmas. So Christmas goal is

313, 398, 15, 0, 15 to goal.

What a Chrismas present that will be.
