Better late than not checking in at all. I did weigh on Thurs. and stayed the same. Just hadn’t taken time to check in. i’ve had good days and bad; the worse being when I made two batches of fudge. Most of that was mailed to out of state family. I saved a little for my husband and told him to hide it from me! That was after I scrapped the pan clean and ate a big chunk. Just couldn’t help myself. Now that’s behind me and I can focus on more healthy food…that is until Christmas day. My goal these next 2 weeks is not to gain. I’ve mosted Karen’s motto: Less.And less often. in my kitachen as a reminder. Thanks everyone for the encouragement and prayers.

I haven’t commited myself to this but I know I should. I step on the scale throughout the week and see it fluctuate up and down at least 5 lbs. My weakness is pasta and Pepsi (I can’t stand any diet sodas!). I don’t seem to have the focus to leave these out of my diet. I want to exercise more and try to use the treadmill at least 3 times a week. When on the treadmill I try to burn approx 300-500 calories, depending on how much time I have. I know what I need to do (at least in my head) but my heart (or my mouth!) is weak. Can I ask for your prayers for me this week. May God give you all strength to continue as you work on your weight loss.

It’s Saturday and I am relucantlly checking in. Last week I was pretty bummed out and was ready to give up even though I was 22 weeks into keeping a journal and had lost 32 pounds until Thanksgiving. I am now up 7 pounds which is still a 25 pound loss. You’d think I’d be excited about that but I’m tired of feeling that I am depriving myself of all the holiday food. I had a good mindset until Thanksgiving came along. I need to lose another 125 pounds. I won’t give up but I’m not as focused as I should be any more.

Also stayed “almost” the same. Am sampling a few holiday treats but mostly my problem is not having/taking the time to exercise.

Congratulations to our losers!

Have way too much to do this week. Am praying that God will help me cling to what’s important and fling the rest. Oh well! How bad can it be if it doesn’t all get done?

Praying you know God’s peace this week. Be calm.

I stayed the same this week, but I only exercised 3 times and tried to stick to eating healthy but I wasn’t always successful.

Wow, look at the small number of us checking in…and I’m a day late! And I am not weighing in. I am desperate to get good sleep so I have the energy to exercise. Yes, that’s my excuse. It’s been at least 2 weeks since I exercised!
And I need help! My mom has been making her candies here because she needs help since she had hand surgery. Oh my I’m in big trouble! I can resist the carmels, but the peppermint chocolate fudge + my PMS, waaaahhhhh! Maybe if I stick them up way too high in a cabinet that I have to climb up to get to…
Karen, I wish I remembered my WLsisters like you do whenever you’re tempted.

I did not do very well again this week. I sure am struggling. Hope to see a drop in my scale next week.

I didn’t make it on here last week, however I didn’t lose or gain last week, stayed the same. I did weigh this week and lost 2 pounds.

Congratulations to all of you who have lost this week, and to those of you who didn’t, keep trying.

Way to go all who’ve lost weight! Welcome, mwdurham4! Keep up the good work! Jennifer, be careful! A number on the scale is not more important than being healthy. Prayers for you who have had a hard week this week. Praying for all of us WLW gals to keep it up with Christmas around the corner.

My scale today told me that I’m down 5 lbs. this week. I’m not sure I believe it. We’ll see later if it’s a fluke. I have been more careful about my food, but I only got to exercise 3 times this week. I don’t think I’m going to be able to get on the scale next week. I’m going to be out of town for Christmas. Got another party this weekend. If I can’t get to a computer next Wednesday, I’ll be back the week after! (Thanks so much, Karen, for the gift card!)

Hi,

This was not a great week for me. The sugar was screaming and I gave in. I am up 1lb. from last week. I have not been keeping up with my food journal and know that if I get back to that I will be more aware of what is going in my mouth. On a positive note, I did a longer and harder workout on the treadmill than I have in a long time! I’ve been doing Leslie Sansone workouts lately but it was nice to see some progress on the black beast as well! So even though I didn’t lose this week, I am getting stronger and it’s fun to notice that change as well.
Thanks for all the encouragement, ladies.
