Cookers Weigh In---FridayThrow Down 12-21

[Gnusgal]

Starting weight- 142
Last week- 130
This week- 131
This week's change- +1
Total change- -11

I kept shifting my weight on the scale to see if I could dip it back down to 130, but alas it was not possible. I guess 1 pound up is not so bad considering all the snacking I did at work this week. And when I look at my total loss I'm still pretty happy. But it looks like it may be next year before I find myself in the next tens down. It's so close, too!

Keep up the good work everyone. Don't be discouraged by gains. Just use it as motivation to get back on track. (((hugs))) to all. My family is beginning to descend upon us tonight, so I may or may not be able to get online much. I had such success at Thanksgiving when I had everyone to my house, I was insane enough to invite everyone here again for Christmas Eve dinner AND Christmas Day! It's gonna be a busy one, but I'm looking forward to it. If I'm not on between now and then: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Good work Niki! Small gains at this time of year are a success. Not letting them creep up after the holidays is going to be our challenge!

As far as having the celebrations at your house - I don't know about anyone else, but I find that if I'm doing all the cooking - I don't eat nearly as much. The dangerous way is taking a dish to someone else's house. Like potluck dinners at church - it's pig out city!!

I don't want to be around when The Ref reads this!!!

Cooker - if we don't hear from you after The Ref gets a hold of you - I want to thank you for the Throw Down. You will be missed.

I've got a news flash for you, our little chimp boy, . . . . you mix metamucil and prune juice and NO ONE will get NEAR you, much less get between you and a bathroom!

I stayed the same as last week; I'm still not back to where I was before our trip to Florida, but I'm down two and will settle for that.
I think everyone is doing really well. This is a hard time of the year to maintain weight, much less lose any.

Hmmmm. Bet the Ref doesn't get this kind of insubordination! (Or maybe she does if The Chimp sends her enough Christmas cookies.)

5 pounds is ok with the Ref, but I ask you, SuperBob, are you willing to go near him to present the C.H.I.M.P.(Cooker Has Instigated Metamucil Prune)penalty ?

If not, in the spirit of Christmas harmony, I'm prepared to look, and run, the other way!

As usual, the Ref has reached the wise and enlightened decision. ...

And hey look, she just went over 6,000 posts! Congratulations! Should we alert Ross that it's time for Mary to get a prize?

Well, again, I'm just sort of holding my own through the holiday season. At least I'm not gaining much. So come January I should be able to get back to losing. The last 5 fridays were: 205.2 - 204.2 - 204.1 - 204.5 - 204.9

My scale isn't that specific. It is though reading the same thing as last week. I will be thrilled to get through this holiday season with even a minimal loss. I may not be back to the computer until New Year's eve so I'm wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and may we all be trimmer next year!

The Ref's wisdom shines through once again ....Gotta go
