I just want to wish each of you a very

"Merry Christmas"

I wish a safe and happy holiday for y'all!

Happy Holidays to everyone.

Yes, Merry Christmas to everyone! May you be warm, content, and healthy - with plenty of good, healthy food and drink, surrounded by family and friends you love. And if you don't get what you want, may you find it on sale afterwards - in just your size and color!

LOL Marie. Merry Christmas to everyone! Here's wishing you all a safe and happy holiday and a wonderful, LOSING New Year. (as in weight, I mean.)

Isn't it great to go into the new year knowing that we'll be able to keep any resolution to lose weight? Think of the millions of people who get discouraged by February and are berating themselves, and eating themselves senseless, by springtime. May your days be merry and bright, everyone! (I'm off for a family celebration -- all adult siblings united for the first time in nearly 20 years.)

I'm heading out in a couple hours. I need a nice break from my kitchen. We're toting a ham, 4 pies, 2 batches of fudge, various Cookies, and a lasagna. My son is now 29 years old! Happy Merry Birthday Christmas at the grandparents' house.

Y'all have a WONDERFUL Christmas. (I'm half Texan/Okie -- but don't tell the New Yorker half of me!)

I'm heading out too for a few hours, going into Los Angeles to my Aunt's house for a Lebanese Feast..should be interesting, I have not eaten Lebanese food since my band. Any one know anything about Lebanese food, the use alot of rice and wheat germ..it expands in your tummy, you are not supposed to drink for a good hour after eating ..so that should be good for me now ..Merry Christmas to all of you. Be safe & have fun!

Zoe...you are so right in your post. I feel so confident this New year about my weight for the first time in my life .

We are heading out to my Brother's for the evening. It's always fun to get together with the people you care about.

I have been baking and making candy all day, I also made some baked Beans and a big fruit salad.

Have a great evening everyone!

Been visiting different friends here and there today. Going to a Christmas Eve party tonight. Will have Christmas dinner with family here tomorrow. I really lucked out! One friend fried a turkey as a gift to us. Another bbq'd a brisket for us. (Apparently not just "fatty" bandsters give food gifts. LOL) And my son was given a ham at work. All I have to do are the sides. Thank goodness for my band! I can enjoy all of that, but not too much.

Merry Christmas, everyone. I hope you enjoy your time with your family. Zoe, that is awesome about seeing everyone for the first time in 20 years!
