Hi all - hope that everyone is doing well. Take care, LauraA

[LauraA]

thanks Debbie - it is almost midnight, and I just got on line to post the countdown. Thanks for doing it today. My grandson has been sleeping in the room where we keep the computer, so it has been hard to find a time to get on line. Take care, LauraA

Good heavens! Where have I been? And what's going on? I go away for a few weeks and I come back and the forum looks so different!

Unfortunately, in my time away, I haven't been on plan. I got sick after Thanksgiving and used that as an excuse to eat whatever I want. And I also seem to be unable to resist the endless avalanche of Christmas goodies that people have been bringing to work. Not to mention the parties, eating out, etc, etc. This is my first holiday season as a McDougaller and I am failing miserably!!! I think right now I am just in damage control mode. I haven't thrown in the towel completely. I'm still making it to my yoga classes. I'm eating on plan at home. I'm fitting in as many vegetables as I can in between the cookie attacks. It's not pretty. But I'll make it through this weekend and regroup.

I haven't been keeping up with the forum. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their holidays!

[MaryW]

And PS--my ticker is NOT right. I have some cookie pounds to deal with. But I'll cross that bridge later.

[LauraA]

My goodness, Debbie -I hope that you feel better soon. It does seem that there is no one here - a very busy time of year! Take care, LauraA

I am on plan and planning to stay that way. My weight stayed exactly the same this week ,which I am very pleased about. chocolate jumped into my mouth on several occasions but the good news is I feel nauseous after a couple of pieces and don't over do it. tonight we have company for drinks and snacks and most of the food will be regular program along with some cheese and garlic sausage which don't interest me in the least. 2more days and it will be all over for us. We don't have food on New Years Eve and New Years day will be ham for the meat eaters and lots of veg sides for me. I will be completely back on mwl on the 27th, hopefully without too much damage. I had great hopes that I could stay McD for the holidays and I did fairly well since I have only been at this a few months. Next year I will have this down pat.

Hi! Am i only the second one to post their weekly weight? Well, here goes anyway. I lost 1.5 pounds.

Best wishes to my fellow MWL followers, to MM and regular McDougallers, and those who are still thinking about it.

Have a wonderful holiday, whatever you do.

shoot I forgot to step in and report my scale reading...down one pound. But I'll weigh again on Weds next week. I've had so much salt the last two days, I gotta drink a gallon of water to flush it out ! ha!

Next weigh in is in 2010? wow...

[LauraA]

Let's Finish Strong - there are 5 days left in 2009!!!!

Wow, 5 days left, including today!! Thanks, Amy, for posting the weight losses. I think that a lot of people got busy, and also were away from their computers. Great going, those of you who lost! Take care, LauraA
