Jones, you can do it. Don't let the holiday season get you down. I lost 35 between Nov & May last year. Kept it all off until a little indulging during the holiday put a few pounds back on. I'm sure I could have been really really strict and kept it off, or even lost a little during the holiday. BUT, part of the fun of the holidays for me is lots of baking, socializing and eating out more than I normally do, etc. Plus, I needed mental break from all the calorie counting and food journaling.

But, it's a new year and I'm happily back on plan. I'm sure I can lose the couple pounds I put on in just a few weeks in January, and be back on my way towards my ultimate goal (which is less than 10 pounds from where I am now).


Congrats on the huge accomplishment last year! :-)
