Main thing is family and friends is a reason.

That we all enjoy the season

Like the soap operas of today

Everyone gets along on Christmas day ( We hope 😊)

So from me to you

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

No one feels like talking. Come on--How was your weekend?

I did a little shopping for Christmas (having early this Friday) and for my

cruise. What I hate is the online shopping is making stores close. Lost couple of stores I bought clothes at. Don't know where to go now. I like to try my clothes on. Guess will have to drive farther but their losing stores too. What's funny the one online store I did shop at in the covid time frame

is out of business now!  Woe is me.🙁

Hope to see you all in here soon, tell me how you're doing. As of today, lost a little but went

food shopping yesterday too. More food in the house. Have to be careful. I should be to busy

to eat, need to clean house, get stuff together for cruise. (still iron) Way behind in everything.

Plus, Wed. going out to get flu and covid shots (I know should have done sooner) and the bank and little more shopping.

My cruise is Dec. 22nd to Feb. 2nd.  Hawaii and Mexico. Will be people I know each cruise,

doing 3 b2b's.

See it's not hard to come in here and talk. 

I guess a busy one. If quiet one you could of come in and talked.

Mine was half and half.

Everyone have a Good Sunday.

Everyone ready for the weekend?  Having a quiet one or a busy one?

Hope you have a relaxing one, a fun one, whatever way you choose.

Hope you can keep your eating right with your plan or don't go off to

much that you have a gain.

Take care. there's covid and the flu going around. Here to stay forever sorry to say..

Izena I'm sorry you're still not feeling well and don't know why. Glad they haven't found

anything serious but sorry you're still taking tests.

I know it's hard not to eat right when you don't feel well especially. when it's been months.

I know you'll be able to lose weight when you feel better and are ready. I hope you coming

in here helps you not gain too much more that you can just stay the same for now.

Take care

Jan I know it's hard. We can eat it in Freezing weather as well as hot.

What I'm trying when eating it to have a small serving and not have seconds.

Works sometimes, not always to be honest but I just keep trying.

What would work the best is if I Wouldn't BUY IT.🙁

Thanks on the congrats.

Hello Jan and Robin.

Jan sorry you had a gain but understand the "ice cream." As I said before

calls my name too. Ignore it calling your name this week and hope the

gain will come off fast.

Robin glad you came back, sorry about the cancer. Glad you're doing well now.

Yes, you have a good start with only having to cook and eat for yourself. Wishing

 you a good loss next Thursday.

Me I lost a pound this week. Hope can do it next week.

Hope to see Izena, Terri and Solo in here soon. 

To those reading, join us and get a start on the Holidays of checking in each Thursday to keep you accountable and help you not to gain during this time

or help you gain less. And the main thing might help you have a loss this Holiday Month..

Enjoy the Holidays you celebrate

Know they will be great

Trouble they come with drink and food

The whole month can you be good

Know that we all will try our best

December sure gives us a test

Just have to eat less  you can do

Dessert just take a bite or two

At least try to maintain so not to have extra weight

So in January same weight or less to start out straight

Robin welcome back.  Hope everyone has a good weigh in and has a good week coming.

Seems like we're all trying to do our best at this holiday time.

Trying not to gin at least stay the same.

Izena sorry your still having problems with your health. Glad Jazzper doing good

Jan glad you had a good weekend. (ice cream is my downfall too)

Terri nice job with a loss and almost done Christmas shopping done.

Solo sorry missed saying Bon Voyage to you. Know you'll have a good time.

I'm OK , ear better. I just don't want to do anything. Tell myself you can do it tomorrow.

Quite a few tomorrows have passed but did a few things today. (very few) I'll get with it.

Don't like winter cold and getting darker earlier. Had the "munchies" for a few days.

Have to stop that. Need to stop some things and get going on other things!🙃😀

Good Afternoon everyone. Still here, will write more later.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Last weigh-in of November 

Then it's December

Then a whole New Year

Will you be here--(hope new people too)

Since December is the Holiday Month

Everyone Try to go through it Without A Gain

A Loss would be the Best

But Staying the Same would be better than a Gain

If by chance you have a Gain

Let it be Small and you get it Off Fast (should be small since you're trying to eat less)

So on January 4th (weigh-in day) We can Celebrate

That We can say We did Great

Sorry I didn't come in after starting the thread but see others didn't either. (busy or on cruises)

Ear still not 100%, Thanksgiving and would have been my anniversary, always get sad for a while. 

Miss my husband He would have loved all these cruises I'm taking.

Hope everyone is having a good holiday season so far. Izena on a cruise now, I think. Solo going

on one soon. Sorry don't remember when others are going. Wishing that everyone's weather

stays nice. No big storms or anything like that.

Oh, I forgot to say, happily. no gain on my 30-day cruise but on 2-day Thanksgiving food gained 

a pound but got it off. Does that make sense, 30-day verses a 2 day? Cruises are good for me.😊

I'm home and want to wish you ALL a Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate.

Enjoy your day whatever you do or don't do!

Got home yesterday (today an ear problem--hurts) and will talk more this weekend.

Hello Izena, sorry your still not feeling well. What did the Dr. say? Happy your son is doing better

and grandson did great on math test. Also sorry about Jazzper Know how it fells our cat was

14 yrs. We want the best for them.

Izena it's great no appetite but you need some food, you don't want to keep getting dizzy

or weak. Need some food.

I know not everyone on cruises at this point, well think I' right. Start my 2nd cruise today.

Bought the internet, 1st cruise didn't have it but missed it. So here I am. Hope more people

check in.

Take care all.

Solo sounds like you have a growing business. Good for you.

Your cruise was Sept., you didn't say anything after you came back, guess

that's why I missed it. Nice you have another coming up soon.

Like I said leaving tomorrow on my cruises, won't have internet till Nov.

Will come on and see how well you're doing.

Izena if you're up to it will you still start the Thursday weigh-in. Thank you.

Take care all. Jan should be back soon.

i thought I posted yesterday. I lost a pound. I'm trying to get ready for cruise Sunday.

So maybe I forgot to post.

Izena I hope you and your dog are feeling better. Hope your son is doing better

each day.

Solo Nice you had a loss with your traveling and workshops. Didn't know you did that.

Good Luck in Huston. Did you go on your cruise yet?

Jan on her cruise, did JustUs/Terri go on hers. Hasn't been on in a few weeks.

Miss people who come on and then leave us.

What to say

As we cruise away

What to say 

We want our pounds away

What to say

We don't want to gain on our cruise while away

What to say

Eat less and walk the pounds away

What to say

If we gain we get the pounds off right away

What to say

We have to work hard at home and away

What to say

I hope everyone had a loss today if stayed at home or were away

On Enchanted no library. Guest Service has some books behind counter.

You can get books there and leave books for others. They had about 15,

I left 2 and took 1.  I never read about or saw a book swap.  Nice if their

doing that now.

Izena so glad your son sounds good and has a good attitude. He's doing the

work, that's great.

Happy your weather is good and you can walk outside. Sorry legs are achy.

Hello to the rest of you too. Did everyone have a good weekend eating wise.

I semi did, no gain, most important.

Hello on this Sunday. Hope your having a good day.

Izena hope your son is doing better each day. Glad you can text and phone

and he answers back. Glad you got your gas meter installed.

Like you my downfall is sweets. Ice cream and Chocolate. Sometimes I have just a little

and be happy (trying for that) and sometimes not.

Hope to hear from the rest of you and say how your weekend is going.

I need to start getting things ready for my cruise but so lazy lately.

Looking😀 don't see anyone in here today.

Jan--I missed you, sure your asleep for your early wake up. If you're reading.

Bon Voyage

Had dinner and nice visit with the" kids" tonight. Had steak brought half home for Sat.

Terri--Don't know if you left yet for your cruise. Bon Voyage to you to.

Congrats on clothes being to big, hope you found another one.

Have a good weekend.

Jan---Staying the same is good, know a loss is better but no gain before

your cruise. Sat. almost here. Yes 5:30 is to early. Forgot where are you

cruising to? Also, nice to see you on a Thursday.😊Good job on not eating chocolate

and exercising.

Izena...So sorry you're having so much stress. When our "kids" no matter how

old are sick or anything we worry. Didn't know ex and son had strokes 3 months apart.

Tx son, doesn't mean it's going to happen to him. Also was thinking even if

son says doesn't want visitors, you're his mother, if you want to see him, GO. Bet down

deep he would be happy to see you.

Solo---Nice birthday gift, benign. Good loss. Nice your doctor gave you meds for

weight loss, most don't. Nice you're feeling like eating less and stop when full.

That's what we all should do and know we're all trying.

Me---I lost a pound. One more weigh-in before cruise. Like to lose at least a pound.

That would make four weeks in a row with a loss Then Cruise Food. Tomorrow 

going out to eat with the "kids". Owe them a birthday dinner.

Let's do our best this week.

The Cafe Caribe has always been there. It's a smaller buffet.

Not always open like the main buffet.

Have you found out something new to help you?

Have you found different foods that help you stay full but not gain weight?

Did you discover drinking more water helped you or not?

Does exercise make a difference with you losing or not?

Can you have a few bites of dessert, candy and quit eating it now you're trying to lose?

What food have you replace for another to help you lose?

Any foods you don't eat anymore?

Do you eat everything but less of it?

Do you eat more salads and veggies?

More meat or less?

So here are some things to think about. Please if have good tips tell, we're all trying to lose.

Wishing everyone a good weigh-in today.

Ruby--2 weeks in dry dock in Portland then 1 week in Victoria BC for wet dock.

before coming back to SF.

It's on a formal night but not many dress that way. Most didn't know about it or wanted to do it.

I can clarify, I was on 4 b2b's to Alaska. On a 10-day, 2nd formal night. On longer cruisers

assume can be on the 2nd or 3rd.
