Hey all, Thought I'd post to say hello to everyone. I have been doing a horrible job on my weight since my husband died and can't seem to get back in the swing. I've gained back all but 30 pounds and it's really frustrating. I know I can do it because I did so well before. It's just so easy to get things like chips, cookies and ice cream to go straight down. I've been doing everything wrong but each day I do wake up determined to get back on track. Day starts off well but ends badly. I'm hopeful that just posting here will trigger my brain to get back on it. Would love to hear from the rest of you too.

Hi all. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. I know I did. Now I just need to get busy and get the 9 pounds off I put on and more. Today is my first day back on track so wish me luck keeping those carb cravings at bay. I'm going to be checking in here each morning to provide support and hopefully you all will be here too. I need you guys. :blushing:

Wow have I been horrible and enjoyed just about every moment of it. I think I've gained back 10 pounds in two weeks. Not worried about it, just gonna enjoy the holidays. Hope you all have a truly wonderful Christmas. Let the feasting begin for the dieting is near.

I'm still not sure which one is you. If you get a chance, I'm easy to find if you search on Jodie and Ezma together. Sorry.

I hear ya Shiny. The cookies got a hold of me too. I'm supposed to have a doctor's appointment on the 29th but I'm gonna reschedule it. I can't see setting myself up for failure.

Why is it that even when I'm sick I eat? Dang! Not that I want the stomach flu but it would be nice not to have an appetite. Fighting this dang cold/flu thing and not feeling up to much. Hope you guys are doing well. Don't think there will be too many posts until after Christmas but I'll keep checking in and trying to post. Enjoy!

Hey Jul - There were about 5 with the same name on FB. I didn't see any that looked like your picture here. There was one that didn't have any profile picture, was that one you? How's everyone doing? I'm stuggling along. Yesterday was a bit better but I'm not totally back on track yet and I don't think it will be today. My mother and I are baking Christmas cookies today. Oh temptation, and we haven't even started yet.

Hey guys. Popping in to say a quick good morning. Also wanted to make sure you all know that there's been a recall on all ready to drink Slim Fast. I'm not sure of the details but I knew some of you guys use it. Might want to google it or something. I found out from the Hungry Girl newsletter. Have a good one. Lil - I think I found you since Shiny was a mutual friend. Let me know if you don't get my friend request.

Let me know if any of you guys are on Facebook and would like me as a friend. Can't believe I'm actually using it. I can be found by searching for Jodie and Ezma together. Only one that has both in the name. Bubble girl picture.

Jul - Thanks. Hugs right back at ya. And I agree, I'm going to do my best to enjoy the memories instead of focusing on the loss. Shiny - Feeling better? I'm sure you're enjoying eating again. Don't stress about gaining, just be healthy and you and the baby will be just fine. I had a bad eating day yesterday. I decided I was just going to do a shake for Breakfast now and eat good food the rest of the time. Well, looks like I'm still having a bit of trouble with the carbs. So gonna crack the whip today. Have a great one guys.

Jul - That's fantastic! You did really, really well over Thanksgiving. I'm still struggling to get all the way back on track. I got two pounds off but still have two to go. I totally understand what you guys are talking about concerning death and holidays. My husband passed away the night before Easter. The last 8 months have been filled with holiday memories and we just started the worst part of the year. His birthday is two weeks after mine and then we have Christmas 11 days after that. He always made things so special and loved to Celebrate everything. And he did the Christmas decorating so this year it's up to me. If it weren't for our 14 year old son I'd just hide away until after New Years and forget all about it. OKay, enough for me. Time to put on the happy face and go walk the mall. Blah!!!!! Have a great day guys.

Morning guys. Hope you all are hanging in there. I'm trying to get back on track here but it's been tough. Between Thanksgiving and my birthday yesterday, there's been too much eating going on. I have started losing again though and need to take off 2 more to get back to where I was befoe Thanksgiving. I'm excited this morning because I have my monthly doctor's appointment and I should be down about 7 pounds since my last visit. This will be the first real loss I've had in a year. I should be smiling when I leave the office for a change. Yay! Where is everyone? I think there's only been about 4 of us posting at all. Tap? RSG? Amy? Everyone? Come on, VV roll call.

Oh Shiny, sounds like you are having a horrible time there with your band. How soon do you see the doctor to get your unfill? Did you all have a great Thanksgiving? I sure did. I put on 4 pounds but I'm going to try to get it back off today. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning and would love to be back down where I was. I'm still down 5 pounds from my last appointment so it's good either way. Gonna go see if I can find any good Cyber Monday deals at Amazon. I did a lot of my shopping from their Black Friday sales. It's the first year in a while I didn't go out. Just wasn't anything out there I could see fighting crowds for.
