Let's do a roll call to see how everybody is doing

Come out, come out wherever you are!  Everybody please check in and let us know how you are doing.  I have been struggling with the temptations of the holidays.  I'm thankful I made it through.  I am still shy of my goal weight.  I set a goal to get there asap and get back to the basics on my eating.  I even quit logging my food the past few months and I am going to start back.  For me, it makes all the difference in the world.

 Today's a new day.  I have an interview a little later this morning.  (Wish me luck.)  After the interview, I'm going to go to the gym I joined a week ago, but have yet to do anything with.  I do pretty good logging my food until nighttime comes.  

Good luck with the interview.  How was the gym?  I have a friend at work that has lost over 75 lbs this past year just going to the gym after work every day and keeping to 1200 calories a day.  She looks awesome.

I am here... It is snowing here(Hot Springs) this morning. Don't think we will get much, but it is so beautiful coming down. Soooooo glad the holidays are over. Need to get my house back in order. Have had a lot of company. Gotta get out today. Gotta take the hubby to the doctor this afternoon.
Everyone have a great Monday.

I"ve b'een thinking about ya'll.  I hope things go well at the doctors today.

Hi again,

Frankly, I'm not doing well. I've now gained 10 lbs in the last three months and to say I'm freaking out is an understatement!  I know it's "only 10" pounds, but it feels like 100 and I feel like a failure.

Folks, believe me when I say it's hard to be a leader when you feel like I do. It's why I haven't been around much to offer support. I'm the one needing it, and I don't have any to give. So, please forgive me for being AWOL.

Susan

I have gained 18 in a year! I was 174 last November and now 192! OUCHHHHHHHhh I know what you mean.

Other than that, day 5 of 10 on antibiotics.

I feel your pain.  I have really been struggling.  I've been really stressed and grabbing a "small" peice of candy, eating unhealthy choices, not drinking my water, yada, yada, yada.  I'm thinking about posting here every day to try to hold myself more accountable.  I swear starting today, I am going to post here every single bite that goes into my mouth for the day.  I don't want to undo what I have accomplished.  I'm worried sick about what I've been doing to my body.

If you need a sweet treat, try Werther's sugar free hard caramels. They are only 8 calories each and are just enough to curb that "God, I have to have something sweet" moment.

Ah Susan remember sugar alcohols, have not thought about that in awhile, but I swear by this post that I am going to start doing a protein shake a day and get back on my regular routine of my vitamins again!  I finish my antibiotics on Saturday, the yeast infection from them is killing me right now but I am going to get back on track!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I had my kidney stone a year ago today, I got married a year ago this weekend, I need to get back on track!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
