THANKS Girl!!!!!! 14lbs till 100lbs lost is amazing! I often forget about that very BIG acomplishment... I've almost lost 100lbs since June - it's soo amazing to me. When I established goals - one was to reach 199lbs before the end of 2009.... well I'm 7lbs shy of that goal however I won't make this goal before Friday. OH WELL.... I'm thrilled.
Can't wait to see your photos....
Hugs...

Congratulations, Julie, on lossing three pounds!
Unfortunately, I think I found the ones you lost.
Totally bummed to have gained weight over the week. But, I guess that's the cause to my effect. I DID graze while opening presents and I DID have a glass of wine with (not before; not after) my meal. I justified my cheese and cracker binges saying well, at least I'm not moving toward the cookie tray. The lesson? grazing = bad, no matter what the food.

Glad to hear things went well for you, Julie. I did well, too, until the day after Christmas when the carb monster hit. I am currently in a struggle to get her out of my head!
One thing I really DID lie was the stamina I had for all the preperations that had to be done. I had alll the energy I needed to get it all accomplished. How thrilling.

I tasted a lot of goodies and most of them were not as tasty as I remembered. Way too sweet! My DM made us a SF pumpkin pie and it was so yummy. I had slices that were about 1 1/2 inch and it was perfect. I know I didn't get enough protein in most days.
When I got up and weighed this morning....I'VE LOST 3 POUNDS!! I am now just 3 pounds from onederland!
The good thing too is that I didn't feel like I missed out on anything. I watch the fam lay around because they were so full LOL.
It was a wonderful week spending time withy my family. That is really what the holidays should be focused on for all of us.
Now on to our Happy New Year...and New YOU!

I had to take size XL and 1X back today because they were too big for me! My mom bought me tons of size 1X and XL things as Christmas Presents and none of them fit me! Soon I will be wearing a size 11/12 in pants. I remember when I was 18 years old (almost 20 years ago) losing some weight and fitting into a size 11. I looked so slim in pictures and I used to look at a picture of me back then and think WOW... I will never be the little again. Well I am ALMOST there again! I am wearing a size 13 today and they are baggy. Some 13's are still snug. It just depends on the make. And I even have some Medium's that are fitting me just fine! I am hoping to wear a size 9/10 by the time I go to Florida at the end of February! I didn't think I'd be saying this but I think this is totally an attainable goal!
I put 4 miles in today at the gym. I had to make up for all the food I ate at Christmas. Ham, Mashed potato's, Greenbeans, and I snuck a few cookies. But I didn't gain anything! I actually lost a lb. :D
Anyways.. I wanted to share my excitement. I never thought I would be happy to return thinigs! But I am!!!

Here I am on xmas day weigh in at 199.8 I struggle from this weight to about 202-203. I just can't seem to stay in onederland very long. I work out 2 to 3 hours a day now. I feel that this dress makes me look fat. And my boobs look like I need a boob lift and reduction. And it was a new bra that I bought last month. In smaller size but just doesnt' seem to lift them enough. I struggle with bra sizes and how they fit. I hate wearing them.

I started taking Biotin two weeks ago, and am hardly losing anything now! it's a freaking miracle! try it! you can get it super cheap through puritans pride dot com. I got 5 bottles of the 5,000 mcg dose for like 14 bucks. I take one a day. It is literally like night and day!
