You're my token male buddy!!! Shakes are coming back at the end of the month so you'll be set to go again! Come on, you can do it, remember how good it feels to be svelte!

Hey Ed. Hope you're planning on checking in with us sometime soon. Unfortunately, SF isn't sending notifications to our email addresses anymore, so you HAVE to come to the site to receive comments and messages from your buddies. How'd Christmas and New Years go for you? I did marginally well on eating...not so good on the water...until a day or so AFTER Christmas....then, the SUGAR monster made a reappearance. Too much chocolate in the house. I ended up gaining 3 pounds in one week...my first gain since starting SF. Some of it was probably water weight...but a lot of it was CANDY and CAKE! But, I'm pretty much back on track now. Am doing the shakes again...I had slacked up a bit on them in favor of real food...same calories, though. I decided to go back to the shakes for a while b/c they seem to keep me more disciplined. And, I have upped my water consumption again. I think the extra pounds are already starting to make a run for it...guess we'll see on Friday. Hope to hear from you soon. Happy New Year! God Bless ~~ Hilary

Happy New Year!! Just wanted to stop in and say hi! We had a great trip, I loved Ephesus too! Got so many great pics. I actually managed to lose 2 pounds on the trip but found it again during the holidays. Oh well, new year makes me motivated. I'm committed to making exercise part of the mix now. I think 4 months is long enough to focus only on the eating side of things! Anyway, hope you enjoyed the holidays and am glad to see you had a great time in St. Barts. Will have to add that to my travel wish list...

This site is testing my patience. It takes forever for a page to load. They must know I stop buying there product so there punishing me....Glad you enjoyed your vacation. Happy to hear you drank something other than slimfast, there is a time and place for everything and vac. and sf doesn't go together. Ok you had some fun now time to jump back in the game you know target has a slimfast version I heard it wasn't bad and wal-mart has one too. So you don't have to wait for them to put the stuff back on the shelves........I was reading your post about the things we would do the lose this weight......I know I have a problem I have become obsessed with losing this weight. I find my self tossing and turning at night measuring the fat on my arms and gut while I lay in bed and it's crazy...I can't seem to find balance. It's sad I feel like I'm not living because I can't seem to enjoy the moment........I feel lost at times I pray this is a faze I'm going thru........Think I will get up and drink the lemon water..........Glad your back, glad your not giving up........twistygirl

A vacation to St. Bart's would be great no matter what, but losing 20 lbs before you go I know made it so much better. Good for you! Finally took my trip to Chicago the weekend before Thanksgiving, so much fun, but paid for it in pounds of course. Thankfully those couple of "fun pounds" came off quickly, but now I'm back to the stubborn pounds that like to hang on. We got past the Thanksgiving feasts, now we only have the big Christmas hurdle to conquer. Good luck! Tracy

Been on a break for health reasons. I'm back on track but without the shakes and bars. Hope to hear from you soon. Sounds like you had a wonderful time and I'm sure once you get back on track it will all work out.

I still have a sneaking suspicions those Europeans are going to be using terms like "fat american" behind my back but luckily I won't be able to understand them, so who cares??? Hope all is well in the city, take care...

Hey, Ed. Try having 3 children who are all trick-or-treating age! I have been doling out one piece of candy per child each night for bedtime snack. But, after this week...it all gets thrown in the trash! So far, I have survived with only one incident involving 3 M&M's that hopped in my mouth uninvited. Hope you are holding in strong so far this week...afterall, it's only Monday. And, you may just have to chug a couple of glasses of water a day in addition to the ones you drink slowly. I'm having a battle with water right now, myself. WHY is it so HARD to drink?! I feel SO much better when I'm hydrated, and my weight comes off much more quickly. We just have to DO it! Talk soon. God Bless -- Hilary

You are so funny l love reading your post. life is serious enough, lately I have been uptight about my weight. I don't want my situation to control me. Reading your post reminds me to relax and enjoy life right where I am today. I think I got upset bc I am not on scheldule with where slimfast said I would be. I ate more than they said eat, I was ok with that untill I realize my 49th birthday is Dec 1 and I will still weigh 200 something. I wanted to weigh 199 for my bd that was my present to my self. Now I have to set a new goal, that one's a pipe dream.............WOW St Bart....that sounds like a wonderful vacation........... you know you have to watch tv on the floor while doing those crunchs to tighten up (the spare tire) lol............ So that you can walk the beach looking like Marlon Brandon in his wife beater, in a street car named desire. my upper torso is starting to fine some type of definition looks like a few packs coming in but the lower torso looks like ocean waves... I need serious work on that part of the belly..........I shall meditate on your words repeat them till I see them floating across my room when I turn off the lights. I am stronger than cheesecake and the cheap subway 5$ sandwiches I will let you know if it works...... have a great week and stay strong in the fight..............twistygirl

Did you survive Table Top Week? Hope so. When are you off to St. Barts? We are headed on a 2 week Mediterranean cruise in early December and I am already trying to get my gameplan set. Will be hard, but I don't want to undo all my progress, you know?

Just me. I have been trying to keep up. Been a lot of problems. Messed my leg up bad, can't walk much and no aerobics for me for quite a while. 3rd shift is running over. 6 ,7 days a week. Not much time for chat. Diet? Just happy right now no to gain. Glad to hear you are still doing so well. Now that I know you are more of a blogger I will stop by more often. Later. Mary

What you're doing is working so...Keep on keepin' on! Ed, honey, thank you for the nudge. I needed it! I haven't been "off" my diet, but I haven't been on it either. It's always "I'll start right after (insert event here)." The nudge is what I needed - I knew you'd be a good buddy. ;) Game on!
