Thanks flora.. You are always too kind and too sweet. I think about your children and how lucky your grandson is to have you take him in and how your whole family clearly adores you.

You are right.. We always have a huge thanksgiving dinner but not Christmas.

My hubby and daughter are wonderful people too. We are all working on making sure we each give each other all the proper support we each need to feel and be successful. My daughter has a really tough class schedule this quarter and all her final projects are due today. She has spent so much time home working I am feeling really sad for her as I know she is missing hanging with her friends even if it would only be online. But the extra stress will be over this Friday. She has a 3 day weekend to relax and play coming too.

And another dance in a couple of weeks!! My mom is making her dress. The theme is famous couples so she has decided her and the boy are going as Ariel and Eric from the "kiss the girl" scene in the Little Mermaid.. The beautiful blue dress. My mom is excited but apprehensive about making the dress but she has a good game plan! I'll post pics when it's done!!

Hi Wendy

It seem my last answer was lost

I see you had a nice christmas also it does not matter where as long you are with people you love.. An i have read this before that in us you celebrate thanksgiving more then christmas, i just it is not really more but i mean the big turkey.
For new years day i use to be with my children and we always go to a big chinesse restaurant
but they have all kind of food, buffet style, it is really good and this year my son and daughter went but my son was telling me it seem not as nice buffet that it use to be, we go with familly and friends sometime we were 26 , Christmas is always home with a house full of people also, but this year it was just jr and hi but it was fun all the same with all the phone call.

Glad for your daughter , she had her best friend. You know Wendy your daugjter is lucky to have you as her mother, you are such a sweet and good person, and i am glad i have you for a friend. Tell your husband that he is lucky to have such a good wife
Just enjoy your daughter they grow so fast, i sure you will always be close but nothing bit having them as a little girl

Flora - that sounds so wonderful. I am sure that GS of yours appreciates you like no other. And it was good that you could connect with your daughter and son! The full dinner sounds wonderful. . We have never done the big Christmas dinner. . Just Thanksgiving. . In fact - we ate at Jack in the Box on Christmas while heading to the bowling alley! How's that for a fun Christmas evening!

It is so lovely having miss Hayley home (my daughters best friend who moved to Alaska in Aug). . The girls went to the nail salon a moment ago and are catching up and getting as much bonding time as they can before Hayley leaves on Jan 9th. Hearing their laughter late into the night and knowing she is helping heal my daughter's pains of missing her was so wonderful. . I stayed up half the night just listening to them laugh through the floor. Ariel has Jacob and they have their great times but it is just not the same as having that girl friend to unwind and be goofy with.

You also have a great New Year! Ring in 2013!!!! Bring it on!!!

Hi Wendy
Hope you had a lovely christmas

For myself it was still a nice christmass, on christmas day i made santa claus , was bringing
my gs his present it made him laugh , it was only him and i but we still had a very nice christmas/ \My son the father of my gs phone and we were online for more then 1 hours
and my daughter also phone and we talk to her and all the familly so it was nice too

I had told them not to send my present to give me a nice spa instead so now i will get it when i go to toronto it is so nice to have the whole thing.

I made a big meal even just for we 2, you now turkey and all the trimming , and all the desert
so all in all it was fun.

I am sure your daughter will do good at school , bio is very hard and there is always one subject that we are not as strong with , you know i think for her age she is doing very good as long she keep trying to do as good as she can, she will do it

nice she is so good at bowling tell her congrat for me.

i wish you and your familly a happy new year and the best for the year

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day to you!!

Christmas was wonderful! My hubby and daughter surprised me by going through piles and piles of old digital photos and getting them sorted, printed, and put into frames that I will be able to hang on our walls. . and we will finally look like a family that is proud of our family! It made me cry. My little girl was so adorable when she was young! OMG!!!

And she has grown up so much in these last 2 years even! I can't believe she can get her driver's license in less than 6 months now! ACK!!!

My hugs and love to you. . Hope you enjoyed your sweets. . We ran out of time for any baking so didn't do anything. . But I hit big with the good Christmas I gave my family and they sure scored big for me!! Hope your time was calmer since you didn't go to Toronto but that you were sent just as many family loves!!!

Snow is always fun even if it is just a light dusting!

I did do some shopping this weekend. . haven't wrapped anything yet though so the tree is still really empty underneath. . Gotta start wrapping and getting that all dealt with. It is really hard cause my daughter has so much homework right now and I couldn't let her out of the house much this weekend except to do two obligations she had. . So I did shopping with my hubby on Sat and shopping with my mom on Sunday.

And Sat morning was fun. Did a 5K Christmas event with my daughter's boyfriend's mom (and the girl, he and his brother went too. .) I jogged most of it and wasn't prepared to do so but it was still fun.

Christmas - we always start getting ready the day after Thanksgiving (usually the 4th Friday of November. . and we did all the traditional stuff - got our tree, decorated, did lights, but I don't know. . I am out of great ideas for giving this year and haven't gotten any cards out yet. . and only gotten one in the mail. . But I'm getting there. . Will be doing all that throughout this week. . Don't do much baking until the week of Christmas. . I kind of feel like the time is flying by til it gets here. . My daughter's orchestra Christmas concert is tomorrow night so hopefully that will help me get into the mood. .

Flora - I am sorry to hear you are not going to Toronto but it sounds like Christmas at home with your GS and your friends will be fun too! You have such a wonderful outlook on life! I am also sorry to hear it is not going well for your GS. Hopefully the doctors will continue to find ways to help him. You are so wonderful to give all your love to him to take care of him the way you do.

You're right. . we always worry. . My daughter is struggling in a couple of her classes this year - one because it is a very intense college style Biology class (she is only in 10th grade) and the other is her History class - because it has all been map tests and spelling counts. . She cannot spell so we have been fighting hard core to fix this. But it makes my husband and I a bit frustrated. . But for my hubby - he will blame her being distracted with the boy and state that is the reason she is having issues. . Little battles. .

But on a side note - my daughter is a bowler - (we bowl 10 pin here. . not 5. .) and she was able to get onto the high school traveling bowling team!! She is getting so good - starting to consistently bowl very high scores!!

Hey Flora (and Lyn) (and some newbies!!)

Well - so I slighly disappeared. . but wanted to get back in touch. Flora - thank you for the wonderful words. . it was a great homecoming when the girl got home. . and you are right. . that boy didn't let her out of his sight the rest of the summer. (except for the week we went on vacation). . and now this year they finished Driver's Ed together. . (they both have 6 - 7 mo to go before they are 16) and they have already done a couple of school dances and are moving into those Christmas thoughts. I also got to know his mom a lot better this summer too and she is such a sweet person. She reminded me this will be their third Christmas together. . CRAZY!

My husband is going through phases of acceptance too. . He appreciates that the boy is a good boy but my hubby can't help but continuously think he is a boy who is infactuated with his daughter. . We've had a lot of talks lately about how we are moving forward as a couple because of disagreements over the boy and girl having time together.

I imagine you are on your way to Toronto - sounds like you were going to be driving?? Hoping your Grandson is doing better. . Last we connected the doctors were working on different medicines for him.

Hi, this is my first time on message boards but this is a good challenge. I'm doing good a biggest loser thing going at the athletic club so I've lost about 8 lbs in last month. I never exercised before so that's the biggest change, along with drinking half my weight in oz of water.! Feel like I'm drowning sometimes, haha. Hard to stay away from ice cream and chocolate, but it's been drastically reduced.

Thanks.

Its challenges liek this that i use so heavily for motivation.

I started this challenge pretty much when i joined spark people 6 weeks ago.

I am pleased top say im 49lbs down so going well, next weigh in friday..

I am hoping that i can be close to 60lbs by end of november lost in total as this will be a great achievement...

So have 11 lbs to lost in 44days which is do-able with all the hard work..

It would be amacing to hit 67lbs loss in total as this will be my complete goal half way point..

123-133 lbs is my total goal.. which is around 40% of start weight gone leaving a healthy person behind..

I know... Just hope they don't come off too slowly...The last pounds always seem to be the toughest to lose... Then I've got to maintain, which has always been my biggest challenge. Thanks for being excited for me! What a nice person you are, PeridotPrincess! ;) How are you managing these days? Do keep me/us informed! Happy Friday!!

Today I had carne asada tacos which were delicious and only 250 calories for two! So I'm pretty proud of myself. I also made progress towards getting rid of my sweet tooth, instead off a brownie, I had sugar free jell-o with cool whip on top. Best 35 calories I have ever eaten ;)

You won't lose stream, especially when you get on the scale and lose 3 lbs! :) I wanted to cheat the other night and it was my husband who reminded me that it's not worth it and I'd be sad in the a.m. So instead of eating icecream, I had a huge apple. And I was able to fight off the urge to binge! I was really happy in the morning and even dropped a couple of pounds to boot! Keep us posted on both your successes and strugges! We're here for you!!

hello,

there is no secret just lots of hard work and dedication (plus having allot of weight to lose)

i simply go gym 5 times a week before work and now do 3 sessions a week in evening after work of weights, situps and pressups.

Plus i stay below 1500 calories and drink plenty of water (12 glasses most days)

that is it.

i write a weekly blog on or around friday with my daily workouts. i also share all my fitness and nutrition trackers for everyday.

good luck

Everybody is welcome to the challenge

Very nice to see you all. You just have to lose as much as you can , it is not necessary to lose
20lbs since you are late to the challenge and later we can start another challenge

yes we can all weight on thursday or whtever we like in between

Goodluck all/
