Wild goose - great comments... Yes, slow it down... How many of us are not drinking enough water? Forgetting to log food? Not exercising? Drinking while eating,? Not chewing? What else ladies,? Come on? We've come a long way being honest with each other. Let's clense before the new year.

Gladiators- we need to snap out of it!

I'm with you Pink. I hop in the scale every day. I waffle two pounds up and down. I'm surprised it isn't more. 9 days until the new year. We can do it. Anyone want to do a 3 day liquid challenge with me starting 1/4? (Got to start on a Monday).

Let's get through the holidays and start again in the new year.

Eat the darn cookie. Then, move on with life. Or, eat the darn Questbar and be done with it!!!!

Darn balls!!!!

Yes Pink! And, I never was a sweets Craver! I also find that I look in the mirror and I'm not as impressed. I have those "I am fat" thoughts again - even though I weigh 115 pounds less! Holidays are difficult for me in general. I'm divorced. Single. No kids. And, most of my friends are MIA because they are involved in their own holiday festivities. Im trying to not be do hard on myself. And, I will commit to doing the 5 day pouch test on starting January 2!

Gladiators! I need help and support. I've got no one to talk with this about. A very bad thing happened because of my surgery. At my company's holiday party (yes, the new job I've had for only two months) I had a few cocktails. Well, apparently I got so intoxicated that I said and did some not so professional things. Because of this, I received a final warning. I'm so upset. I guess alcohol really does process quicker and more in-depth. I am fortunate I wasn't fired. But. I'm mortified. I'm usually very professional, conservative and cautious at work. Now, I feel like everyone the company joke. My boss, who really has been supportive even though she had to issue the warning, told me only a few people know. But I can't shake this overwhelming quilt. I need hugs from my Gladiators.

Hi everyone. I hope you are all doing well. I'm still on a stall. 4 months now.

Beni!!! That is funny! Take the good with the bad.

Miss all of you...

Hi everyone! Smiley you look great! Congrats!

I find it interesting that I haven't been sick in over a year. In the past, I would get a cold, then bronchitis, sometime in early Oct. And, then I'd be sick through Spring. I wonder if it is because of our diets and the fact that I take vitamins, etc.

Beni! Once again, you put it all in perspective. Well written! Love it! Bronx - sending prayers.

@Bronx.... Listen to Pink. You are going to be an awesome mom! Baby needs nutrients - and so do you.

It's funny, though. I see a little trend. We are happy. Pretty. Doing well. But all of a sudden, I'm seeing (and feeling) insecurity in our threads. All I can say is SNAP OUT OF IT. We are remarkable.

Wow! Happy surgiversary to most if you! You are all so awesome and such a big part of my life. I had my surgery in Nov (thanksgiving Monday). But I joined this group because of the true support, love, appreciation and positiveness that you all have.

Luna, I can relate! A few bad habits have crept up on me. I think it's all the changes I've been going through. Carbs are an old friend.... So is wine. We have come so far, I really hate it when I slip! The good news about the job is I walk to and from work - which is over 4 miles total. But, I need to get healthy eating routines. Luna- I have a question for you. Your new guy sounds GREAT the way you describe him. Do you feel you don't deserve him? Just do an ego check! See if that's why you miss the old guy who didn't treat you as well.

Congrats Bronx!!! Hot stuff!

Amylynns - hope your rib feels better.... Glad it was a "fixable" problem.

Isn't it great that we can all assess where we were, where we are and where we are going with a much better lens! Beni - your insights are always spot on.

I got the job! So excited! Director of a organizational Development. Had to go buy a whole new wardrobe because its been 6 months since I worked in an office setting! And, shopping was fun!!!

@@Beni, tacycakes, amylynns, pink, brown eyed, Bronx LisaCo, Luna, and EVERYONE who posts on this page . . I think I love you!
