I had my weigh in on Wed. I am now down 34.8 pounds. It kind of took me by surprise since on both Christmas and New Years I didn't watch what I ate. In my food journal I just wrote Merry Christmas and then Happy New Year for both of those days. I did notice even though I didn't watch what I ate I didn't eat near as much I used to. I also made better choices. When it came time for cheesecake I just ate a piece of the crust that had some filling on it, that was left in the pan. That satisfied my taste for the cheesecake. That is one of the things I like about WW. There is room for error. One day off doesn't sabotage the whole process. It is easy to pick up right where you left off. There is one lady there at has lost over 50 pounds to date and she says for her there is no such thing as WW on Sunday. She gives herself every Sunday off from WW.

I almost forgot. Good news on the undies front. I was cleaning my drawer out of the ones that just don't fit at all any longer. Well, way in the back a found a pile of new ones I bought over two years ago. I bought some fancy smancy ones when we went to Vegas. I only wore them there, then washed them and put them away. Totally forgot about them. So I now have on panties that stay on. I do have to admit it almost feels sinful to be wearing such fancy panties for everyday....but, I'm thinking I like it LOL.

they are called didrex. i like them because they don't make me antsy or jittery. i take 2 a day. they aren't cheap neither...$55 for a 2 week supply. the doc visits are $45 every 2 weeks. but like hubby said, if its working, its worth it. i plan on doing the pills at least 6 months, then i may try something else. belle..i am so glad you got some drawers that fit. i'm about to do what you did, throw away the big ones and dig out some of the smaller ones way out the back.

I went to the club last night and ran two miles. It felt great. SOmeone told me that exercise will help my gall bladder symptoms.

Oh Biloxibelle, I am so glad you're wearing new bloomers! You deserve every sinful thread of the new fancy pants. Congrats on the big weight loss. Congratulations to everyone who maintained or lost over the holidays. I weighed myself on the gym scales this morning and haven't lost the 3 pounds I gained over the past month....yet. I had a really good workout and have my full energy back, so it will come off again. It frustrates me that a gain happens much quicker than a loss for me.

For me too, Mak1, ugh I'm a bit frustrated right now. It's my own fault though and I'm not giving up.d

All we can do is keep doing the right things, Denecee, and the results will follow again.

Yay for maintenance! I went to the club yesterday again and ran just over a mile. I must remember to stay better hydrated. I haven't gained anything, but my eating habits are still in need of improvement. The fact that everyone is here supporting each other helps a lot.

I appreciate the support as well. I haven't lost the 4 pounds gained between Thanksgiving and New Years but I'm working on it. I'm joining the Discovery Health 2008 Weight Challenge ... just curious if anyone else is involved?? :o))

Kady didn't they provide you with any eating plan to go in hand with the pills?

I took my 1/2 hour lunch break and walked the creek path. It's nice to see the ducks and horses ... all the while getting some fresh air and exercise. I'm determined to drop this weight!

jasper...nope, just told me don't go over 1000 calories and told me which vitamins to take. she did give me a food journal but she only checked it the first 2 visits. she hasn't asked for it again. i do know how to eat healthy and i am. but i wonder how many folks would use up their calories in junk food.

Kady, There are so many pitfalls, so I have found, I just wondered how much support they were giving you. I thought I was doing all the right things and healthy as well but the additional direction I received helped me tweak so many things.

Thanks, and congrats on "sticking" with it. I love to exercise, but I also love to eat, and my mindset is usually "Oh, I exercised, so let me at those reeses".....I've got to quit that.

That's mine too Escappe, and if you do exercise on a regular basis, you can have those reeses occasionally, right? But I know what you are saying, just not everyday! My dh told me I had a nice backside this morning as I was getting ready for work, isn't that the sweetest? I mean after 24 yrs?

I'd have to check to see if DH was a really CIA double of DH, if he said that to me.

I just wanted to say good luck to you all. I did lapband surgery this summer with 117 lbs to lose. I am down 50 and have 67 to go. It has helped make it easier but it is still a diet struggle and I fight it every day. My major complaint right now is that I had back sugery in November and can't work out. I can't wait to get approved for water aerobics, hopefully next month My thoughts and well wishes with you all, I know the struggles. Good luck

Pamy, one ounce of dark chocolate per day is good for your heart. If you're craving milk chocolate, I got nothin' for ya. Yay to you for making another commitment to your good health! I caught the disgusting, exhausting cold that's running rampant through my workplace. Instead of using it as an excuse to skip going to the gym Saturday, I went anyway. I just made sure to stay extra-hydrated and actually felt better after the workout. For what it's worth, the average person gains 7 lbs between Thanksgiving and New Year's. I'm glad I'm below average! Keep up the good work, everyone. You all inspire me to keep trying.
