Good Wedesday Morning Purple Team

I am going to weigh myself on Sunday morning and then next week. This week has been too hectic (if you know what I mean)

I am almost done except for the grocery shopping and cooking. I sent my ccards out this morning and I should be finshed wrapping this afternoon. Then I am free (except for school work) until Sat.

Hoep everyone has a great day

Good morning Purple!!!! :sunny:

It's hard to believe Christmas is almost here! What a busy time of year for everyone. Donac, sounds like you're doing great. I'm doing the last of my baking today and then we're done except for more parties. Yikes!

The good news is that I've done well this week. I'm down 3lbs! I doubt I'll have the same success next week! Yikes! I'm still hoping to at least maintain.

When does the biggest loser challenge end? Since our team leader hasn't been here for a while, are we keeping track of our own progress? I think that since I joined in October (around the 12th or so?), I'm down 18lbs. Thanks to all of YOU for helping me with your stories, encouragement and accountability. I hope more team members can check in this week as next week will be pretty difficult. Have a great day! :sunny:

Congrats CJK for the loss.

I think it ends the 3rd of Jan. With 18 pounds down I think that you have a great shot.

Hey Guys!! Sorry to have disappeared on you guys - as you all know it's crazy busy!! I work in HR so it's open enrollment time and salary increases for the new year and I have been SWAMPED. I actually remember to weigh this morning even though I went in early since I was leaving early for DD's little pre-school Christmas party and I'm actually DOWN 1 1/2 pounds. Which I"m excited about over last week - but my total loss is only 4 1/2 pounds. However I will say that I haven't really been trying much lately it's been so crazy so I'm actually just thrilled that I have stayed at the 5 down mark more or less. Hope everyone is ready for the holidays!!

Thanks for your kind words donac! :goodvibes

Congrats on the loss WDWorbust! That's no small feat this time of year!

This will probably be my last post on this thread until after Christmas since the next 4 days or so will be full of visiting and....eating!! I've been able to hold my own so far with the Christmas parties, but I know the next 4 days will be the biggest test of all. Yikes!

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas full of fun, thanks and healthy living!! :sunny:

Good Friday Morning Purple Team

With the computers going down tonight I just wanted to wish everyone a

Happy Holidays to all my friends on this thread.

Will probably not be able to talk to anyone until next week sometime.

Try to make your best choices and take a nice long walk to pass the time. You can do it.

Merry Christmas Purple Team or Happy Holidays for those who don't celebrate Christmas

Well Christmas is almost over here at my house. I spent the a good part of the weekend cooking and cleaning and then at least 5 people never called to say they were not coming. I am stuck with so much food. I am having people over tomorrow for a pot luck but she is also bringing her leftovers. I better get some things into the freezer or I will lose a lot of food. I also would never have ordered 2 pies. I guess that is going into the freezer as well. I did have a very small piece of the apple and cherry but that is it. I am exhausted. My kids and husband did help but the majority of it did fall on me to do it. Add to that driving an hour away yesterday to spend time with my family and not being able to sleep last night and still getting up at 4 this morning like a regular day. We also had my son's girlfriend staying with us so it has been a crazy weekend. We were able to open all the presents (except for our stockings and still get everybody showered and dressed and at 7:30 mass this morning (I had to be there I was reading) i feel like I have run a marathon. I think I am going to take a nice hot bath and curl up with a good book. 4 days off and I have to make the best of them.

Hope everyone had a healthy and happy Christmas
