OK so how many...

...of you have lost weight over Valentines day before!!! So when you sit back and think man I wish I would lose faster or oh man she is losing faster than I am....sit back and think of really what all we DO have! I was thinking of this morning as I was frustrated I had not lost more. BUT man I lost weight and not only that it was Valentines week! OK so not sure about anyone else but with all the chocolate and sweets and cake and cookies I know I have NEVER lost over Valentines week! Let along multiple lbs!!! What an awesome thought to know that we will no longer fall victim to the retailers wish that we would eat all the sweets in the world! Sorry candy sellers you lost more customers! It is GREAT!! I am sooo proud of all of us! WE ARE DOING SO GREAT!!!! YAY Oct babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy and for all of us!!! Just a thought I had that I thought I would share...thank you listening to me ramble Hugs, Melissa

Great post Melissa!! Who would of thought that we could take control like we have and give the control to ourselves. Like you said sorry Candy sellers that you lost more customers and I think that is great as well. I am proud of everyone too...We are getting health along with the lifestyle change that we signed up for!!! YAY us!!! Not rambling at all!! Hugs~~ Deanne

MELISSA, I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY AND SECOND YOUR THOUGHTS. I AM ALSO VERY PROUD OF EVERYONE ON THIS SITE AND THANKFUL THAT I FOUND IT AND EVEYONE. DONNA, SFY

Yeppers!!! Isn't it amazing?? I know I've never lost during this week before. Thank goodness for this tool we have. I agree....we are all doing awesome! October babies are taking control!!! Susan

You are so right!! We are doing great and we will succeed!!! Hugs,

You are so right. How great it is.. I havent been married for 14 years and come to think of it, I dont think I have had a BF on Vday in 9 years.. So the weight I would gain was "feel sorry for myself" weight. I would take my 2 boys to dinner. Then sit and eat till I went to sleep.. eeuuuwwwwww. so glad I didnt do that this year.. No more "feel sorry for myself" days.. I took Jordan (my 15 year old) to Taco Bell. lol.. then we came home. played a game we call 10 questions.. He asks me 10 question and I get to ask him 10 questions. It is a cool way to get to know your teenager. I know everything about him already.. But he asks me questions like when you were my age..... Anyways.. So, great post!! And yes, so glad I didnt gain anything!! Luvs and hugs! Tiff

Yeah, Melissa, I believe that this is probably the first Valentine's Day in YEARS that I have not gained. I did ask Hubby for a Sugar Free Candy Bar for Valentine's Day and he got it for me. I have eating 1/2 of it so far. Just a piece here and there. A candy bar would not have lasted me 5 minutes before. Here I am FIVE DAYS later and I still have 1/2 of it. MMMmmmmm!!! We didn't even go out to dinner because of he weather, but in the past we would have gone to probably Texas Roadhouse and had a few drinks and probably splurged on dessert since it was a holiday. I usually gain weight this time of year because of everyone's birthdays, too. My sisters is the 9th, my MIL's is the 10th, My dad's is the 14th and my daughters is the 18th. Lots of parties, birthday cakes, and dinners out this time of year!!! I LOST WEIGHT THIS YEAR!!!! I can't believe it!!! I have lost 5 pounds over all of these events. WOW!!! Good observation, Melissa!!! Hugs, Tabby
