What's on your Thursday menu RNYers?

Karen, it is always so good to see your post. Yes, logging in here and seeing how others are doing really is important and makes a difference in my day.

And yes, a few pounds can really mess with your head. You really are doing well. I often marvel at your consistency in walking with Lily and eating on plan even with all of your travels. We believe in you and that you can make your goals! Be sure to post a new pic tomorrow of your holiday outfit. I love your style!

Yes, you will get that 5 soon! I wish that our minds would cooperate sometimes but I do think it's good to stay in tune and for me weighing keeps it real. You continue to inspire me. Please smooch Lily for me.

I feel the same way - I had a 3 lb holiday weight gain, and I feel like a whale. I look exactly the same in pictures (I was shocked - I was sure I'd look fat!), but it's really messing with my head.

Ditto on an extra 6 pounds making me feel fat too - I keep looking to see if I have love handles again...

Good Morning and declared Friday-Eve!! I am working in the office today but with the holidays there are a few people visiting/working out of this office this week so I am looking forward to catching up with them.

Love the pic!

Holiday accountability: I did some "safe" baking (almond flour sugar cookies/crustless pumpkin cheesecake/low carb cinnamon rolls) and ate too much of that stuff so I am feeling bloated and a little on the fluffy side. Although my weight doesn't change much I feel "weighed" down if that makes sense. I have a hard time doing AMAW and even CAMAW with my digestion but I could some sort of challenge/accountability.

QOTD: I like HUGE mugs for my coffee. They have to be microwavable as I like my coffee very hot and it usually needs to be warmed up a few times.

Time since surgery: 4 years 4 months

B: SF latte, eggbeaters, ½ an orange and 2 turkey sausage links

Have a great one!

My coffee needs to be super hot too, in fact I nuke it for 30 sec right after its brewed!

Totally!! And, I always have Starbucks do extra hot.

Me too!! If it's not super hot, it's cold!

We are like two peas in a pod.
