Hi everyone!  Vacations over , but we all know they don't last forever!  Went to the FL Keys for 4 days, on a 4 day Bahama cruise and 3 days at Daytona Beach.  Yes, we came home to Winter Storm Warnings and SNOW!  Yuk! 

I'm at my highest weight since I hit goal, and today I'm getting back on track.  Pictures always can give an attitude adjustment when needed.  I weighed at 137 this morning, and my goal was 125, NEVER to go over 130... I looked at last years pics compared to this years.  The ONLY thing I like better is my face is filled in more, but don't like the rest of me.   I  need to get 10 lbs off.  Today I'm starting the 5DPT... and I'm emotionally ready to do it now and nip this in the bud!  Back in routine, no excuses!! I put on 3 lbs while gone...  I need something structured, like the 5DPT to remind me of what our tools can do for us.  I know I've been gaining weight for the past year and really haven't done anything about it, and knew WHAT I needed to do... just didn't.  This will get me jump started.

Thought I'd share some pictures. 

This is my son and I on Christmas Day at Lorileis at Islamorada, FL.


This is me at Coco Cay, the cruise lines private island.



This is Tom and I on the last night of the cruise.  There were family pics taken too, but I won't bore you with them .

No - my daughter didn't go - it was Tom's side of the family's vacation.  They just went on the cruise and we extended it on both ends, and that's when my son joined us.   I haven't put any pics on FB.  I wish she could have gone - she may have helped my sanity!!

YES - we can do it!!  I don't want to wait until its 30lbs - or more!  I know I can do the 5DPT.  I've talked Tom into joining Weigh****chers also.  I'm going to do the 5DPT then we'll join.  That will keep us both accountable.  I'm curious as to how protein drinks fare as far as WW points...

Glad your Grandson is helping you - lol!!

Welcome back Jody.  I missed you!! 
Sounds like you had a great traveling vacation.

Very nice looking son!!

You still look very good, but I understand want to get back down to the weight you like the best for yourself.  I bet it will be so much easier if Tom does this with you.  I just told Al he better not bring any sugar or chips into the house - or if he does he better hide them before I get home!!

Good luck with the 5DPT.  I upped my protein drinks about a week ago to get some of my sugar/carbs under control again.

Thanks Linda!  I did check the board occasionally on my phone, but I can't post on it. 

My clothes aren't fitting me well anymore, and I don't want to go buy more - because I gained.. Tom had the refrigerator cleaned out before we left and said he's going to leave it empty.  There was just too much available munchy foods easy to grab and eat...

We still have some of the junk food here because of Tom's daughter... but I'm working on them getting it out of here!

 Jody, thanks for sharing your resolve. I am still struggling to get to goal. Down .5 this month. But I know if I don't use this "honeymoon" of 18 months, I may not make it.

You have been one of the stars of the LW board to me. You are inspiring me again. Though I should say you look great. I know what we want for ourselves is more imporatnt than waht others think, so I support your efforts to get back to YOUR goal.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Your son and Tom are both handsome and you are glamourous!

You look great, no melted candle look at all, but if you aren't happy with it, you know how to change it.  You can do it.  You know what to do.

No, the melted candle look went away - filled in... I'd rather be a melted candle.. lol.  I'm going to do my darnest to get it back!  I'd like to lose 10 lbs, that would put me where I was comfy.   Hopefully it will all come off my legs and butt.  Like my face filled in and my arms not so scrawny.  Good thing is - is it can't come off my boobs - YAY!!

I think you look lovely and have a very handsome son, but I certainly understand and admire your resolve to take care of the weight gain, before it becomes totally out of control. It is great that Tom is so supportive. That will be very helpful.

You have been one of my inspirations during my weight loss journey, so I believe that you have the resolve to take care of this problem.

Wishing you the best,

Gail
