That's great. I should have checked my body fat percent before I started. I think I got rid of that scale though. I also should have taken my measurements. Oh well. I can see the difference - so that's what counts.

How about a New Year challenge of losing just a LITTLE bit of wieght. I am thinking mostly to make sure that we don't gain?

How about the Ring in the New Year 5% Lighter challenge?? That's doable in the last 4-5 weeks of the year, right??

Whether it's do-able depends on how many lbs each person's 5% is......

I'll be happy if I go down 5 lbs by New Year's. Actually I'll be ok if I don't GAIN, since we're going to be away and eating out a lot of the time :annoyed:

Weighed in at WW yesterday. Up .2 lb but I can feel myself spiraling. Hopefully, we can get this challenge back on track after the holidays - if not before. I feel like I've been given a license to splurge and I don't like the feeling. I was pretty good during my vacation but once I got home - something happened. Happy Holidays.

Aerobic Eating.

Man !

All I did yesterday was Pig Out.

Huge bowl of flakes for breakfast.

Pizza, shrimp, salad, more pizza, cookies & then lots more cookies for "lunch" -- the extended feast consumed during the Early Christmas family gathering at The Chief Of Staff's sister's house.

Lasagna, meatballs, stuffed shells, garlic bread, fresh pineapple, ice cream sundae & 2 chocolates as an after-concert late supper -- leftovers at our next-door neighbor's holiday dinner at which I arrived after everybody else had finished eating because I was playing in an outstanding Fairfax Band holiday concert featuring the Fairfax Choral Society while all the dinner guests were tucking into the 1st course.

Today is a chance to mend my ways, dietarily speaking, after yesterday's non-stop pig-out.

Oink.

Alan,

I didn't do too well yesterday either. I have been so good about going to holiday parties and eating beforehand. Well, last night I ate at 5 and then went to the party at 7pm. The food was so fantastic I had a SECOND dinner. UGH!!! I feel so yucky today. I didn't bother standing on the scale. But I ate "clean" so far today even though DH and kids made chocolate chip cookies from scratch! So I am hoping to make up for the big slip up.

I will definitely start a new challenge for us in January. I just don't think anyone will join if I post the thread right now. My goal for the next 2 weeks is to try to maintain the weight if I can't lose any more. I haven't been to JC in 3 weeks because DH also wants me to cut back on my food purchases from them. Sooooo, the diet is not working obviously since I am basically off it. But I am determined not to eat junk food today. I figure one day at a time.

I'm still in. Think it is week 7 - been going to the gym almost every night, and doing 1 hour of cardio per night.

I'm only down 9 pounds, but hoping the scale will drop again soon.

Drinking lots of water - trying to eliminate the diet sodas - which is difficult.

Reading "You - on a diet" is making me realize that I really need to watch
what type of calories I am eating (not just how many calories).

Stick with it everyone.

P90x results?

Sorry I haven't been on board lately. I started a new task at my job and can't play online like I used to be able to. Now, I am getting closer to my goal, and still working out 4 to 6 times a week. I also have a long walk every morning from my car to my job, so I burn extra calories there.

I am now graduated from my exercise program www.bodyforlife.com and am doing the P90X from www.beachbody.com which is kickin my but...when I finish the P90X I got straight to sleep.

How did P90x work for you? My son has been doing it for two weeks and he's getting good results, putting on muscles, better posture, etc.
