When is the last time you LOST weight over the holidays???

Isn't life grand? Jezia

Talk about being bad! I licked the brownie spoon (ok ok so I licked it more than once, I admit it!)... and a few days later had a few slivers of the 1 brownie that I saved for my husband. It promptly went in the trash. I managed to lose a pound! Go figure! I hope I don't get like Pavlov's dog and associate brownies with losing weight Life *is* grand after having WLS!

Hi, Rebeka... Happy Holidays. Life is grand now for we who have the little tool..hehe I ate a bite of a cookie made by my granddaughters, a lick of some mousse and a dark chocolate covered pretzel over the last 7 days of Christmas parties and get togethers. I weighed myself at the gym yesterday and I too have lost 3 lbs. over the holiday week. That is unbelievable! I ate a small piece of baked ham and mashed sweet potato at Christmas Dinner. Then I had a little spinach dip and a piece of cucumber and some stewed tomatoes with salmon at the EVE DINNER with the inlaws. I felt fine with all the food but the desserts were really a challenge. I made it through so far and have another party on Friday and then New Year's Eve... but I think I pretty much have it under control.... a taste here or there will not hurt me... I go to the gym every day and run on the treadmill and do a 45 min kick-butt workout with a trainer. I actually think the eating a little more carbs actually helped me drop some weight. The body gets confused if we don't eat enough to burn the fat as fuel. Glad you are doing so well. Take care of you. ShelleyAnne

Never! And this year!?!! I had been out of town for several day, and stepped on the scale when I got home this afternoon. I had gone from 164 Monday to 158 this afternoon: 81 pounds gone forever!!! This is my weekend to work, so tried on several pairs of size fourteen slacks, though they were too baggy. Am excited to go to work this weekend wearing size twelve slacks!!! I've been so furtunate, as my appetite and hunger have not returned, so had no problem remaining diligent in following my strict program. All I had during five hours at Christmas day dinner was about 3/4 cup pork loin and a few herbed green beans. This is all so wonderfully unbelievable! Best wishes to all; hugs, Patti

Yeah, it is so weird! Even with all the food around, I lost a lb between Christmas Eve and Christmas morning! I was shocked!
