Hi everyone!

Next week I'm going away for 3 weeks so I don't know if I'll be able to check in. I'll be staying in a hotel so I won't be able to cook, I'll have to eat out. Does anyone have any advice for me on the things I should and shouldn't eat?

Hi Tammie !!

David & love when we travel!! We have gone by bike 3 Great trips this summer..
Breakfast is easy.. Eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, omelets!!We just ask them to hold the toast & potato and give us cottage cheese or cream cheese.. I put a little equal on mine.. I love it that way..
We save so much on eating out!!
Lunch we hit a fast food place and order a double whatever the burger is on $1 menu.And a side salad.. Some days the big salads they have now are all we need.. Just be sure to say hold the bun!!!

At dinner order a meat and again hold potatoes and bread add veggies salad & cottage cheese..
And I always have Almonds & beef jerky with me just in case..
You will Do Great!!!

Wow!!! Shay!!! 6.5 Pounds!!!! Good for you!!!

Got room for another one in the challenge?

Hi! I'm Mada, just registered today, but have been lurking for about a week.

This is such a great, supportive site with fantastic info! So I'm up for the Christmas challenge.

My goal: 170 by Christmas. Starting weight: 209

Looking forward to seeing everyone melting away!

Now, I'm shutting off the computer and going to bed before I want to eat something again.

Congrats Shay excellent job!

Bye Bye 55lbs never to be seen again!

Great job Shay!! Keep doing what you're doing and the weight will be gone in no time.

Hey Febe, just want to say what a good job you are doing keeping track of everyone. This is a full time job in its self! Oh, and if you can, knock off 2 pounds for me!! I DID It! I actually lost instead of gained!! It's amazing what a little bit (and I do mean little) of discipline will do for you. Come on all you other LCers, we can do this! If I can do it anybody can. I'm going for 5 pounds next week! I'm getting a bit carried away aren't I?! I want sooooo much to be back in my size 6-8s I can hardly stand it.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Dana

Count me in as well please. As my weight loss has slowed somewhat since Induction, I am going to set a reasonable goal for Christmas, to lose around a stone (14lbs). My current weight is 193 lbs, and I'd like to make it down to 175. Because of my age (menopausal) and the fact that I'm on HRT, I don't lose weight the way I used to.

If you think i'm being too soft on myself, do say.

Ok... I have been putting this off long enough. I need to join! I am hoping to be at or below my goal by Christmas. As I am getting closer to my goal I am beginning to rethink it. I will be changing it to 115.... (only after I hit 125).

I CAN do this!

Hi! I want to join too. I orginally wanted to be at goal by 1-1, so Christmas is close enough.

Calre, I am also on HPT. It does get rough.

I am sticking with my 160 pounds by 12-25. This may not be possible, but I am going to give it my best shot.

Mada, do you realize you are expecting to lose 39 pounds by Christmas? That may be too much to expect. You know yourself of course, I'm just concerned that you'll feel discouraged and quit if you "fail" to meet your goal.

Welcome all new members

This weekend has started off okay, but not great. I got a late start to my eating and I've found that I don't lose very well if I don't eat breakfast. I have been VERY good at taking my vitamins, yeah me! I've also drank only water this week.

I hope everyone else is having a great weekend!
