please send the weight loss fairy my way

So I had a weight loss goal to be a specific weight by Thanksgiving. I think I was 2 pounds shy of the goal (can't remember what the number was). I then set another goal to be under 200 by Christmas and again I did not reach my goal. So I thought well ok then. Can I get under 200 by start of the new year? And I have been doing decent but I had a stressful few days. Father in law is in hospital for congestive heart failure which has caused pneumonia and A-fib. Needless to say he's not doing so good.

So I was out running a couple errands Saturday and stopped in the Christmas section at the store to see what they put on sale and ended up with box of chocolates and box of Cookies at half price. Yesterday I proceeded to eat several cookies (over the course of the day) and a couple chocolates. I woke this morning thinking well I blew it. Not meeting my mini goal this holiday either. I weigh daily (except forgot to weigh Saturday while getting ready to head to hospital) so I know where I am and so there are no surprises. So, I stepped on the scale to check the damage and was like well it could have been worse. Only up 0.8 and went to step off the scale but looked at it a second time. It wasn't 202.8 like I thought. It was 200.8 I had to do a double take. I had lost 1.2 in 2 days. So I'm thinking there might be a chance to reach my mini goal by New Years day after all.

So please send that precious little weight loss fairy to my house. I need some good news for New Years.

Hang in there, we all are going to have our up and down days. But I have decided that if I am gone eat Cookies "Oh and yes I love cookies" then I got to put in the time at the gym. I still can't each much but I find that cookies just melt in my mouth :P , so in return I have to burn it off on the treadmill!

You got this!

You are so right. I should work out today. I've been on vacation from work and my schedules been off a bit. So I haven't walked since last week. I'll take my new 3lb weights for a test drive. I'm graduating from 2lb weights. Yay!

Well I did not make it below 200 before New year's but I did finally make it a couple days later. I'm down to 194 now.

I will be happy to share my weight loss fairy. She is quiet generous these days.

OH I would highly appreciated because I've been stuck and in a rut:( I'm so discourage and feel like a looser and Not the good kind.

I hope it starts going down for you real soon.

I know when my weight is playing games if I buckle down and focus on Protein and eliminate carbs of all kinds for a while. It will start dropping again. I'm only 4 months out right now. So depending on how far out you are. It might be easier said then done.
