Getting in more fresh vegetables. 5. Were there any major struggles about eating/exercising over Christmas? If not, what foods make you gassy??? No challenges at all with eating/exercising from Thanksgiving through Christmas. Even Christmas day I only had lean meat and herb buttered green beans. Amazingly, was not the least bit tempted to even taste any of the interesting appetizers, nor three fabulous-appearring homemade desserts. Am diligent in following my program, and have not had any gas. Am certain my answer would be different if I had an appetite or hunger.--unbelievable at five months plus nearly a week out! *Fun bonus question:If you wanted to achieve one mini-goal per month for 2007, what would it be? That when I regain appetite and hunger, to not gain an ounce in any given month, even when at goal.

I broke down and ate them until I got a stomach ache! First time I've been so bad since surgery ... see even the want to be good ones fail! 5. Were there any major struggles about eating/exercising over Christmas? If not, what foods make you gassy??? I'm so very lucky in that nothing makes me gassy anymore! No real time for exercise during Christmas week. *Fun bonus question: If you wanted to achieve one mini-goal per month for 2007, what would they be? Much more movement and even more fun than I'm already having! Happy New Year Everyone! Jan
