Your program sounds similar to WW and one that's very manageable over the holidays. Good luck with it! (Mmm and that corn casserole sounds yummy!) Jody, congrats on the 15 lbs!

I've never tried weight watchers, though there is a neighbor of mine who has lost over a hundred pounds on their program. I have been on the food lovers program and have lost 15 since september. I like the fact that i can eat what i want in moderation, and you watch portion sizes and cut back on white bread, sugars, and regular sodas that are total calorie bombs. I was floored to realize how many teaspoons of sugar are in a can of pepsi, it think it was lke twelve teaspoons. So im on diet dr. pepper, and i love it. For the holidays, i'm going to stay on my program and work it as best possible. But still splurge on a a peice of mothers pumpkin pie, and my corn casserole, yummy. But not take any leftovers home so to refuse temptation. And i think this year instead of the bags and bags of homemade cookies, candy, and peanut butter balls that i just take a tray of assorted goodies and just enjoy my family instead. Good luck with your wiehgt loss. (Its the only time anyone-especially women-like being called losers!!!) (C) jody Wow lori, 20 pounds is great!

I know what you mean about people trying to lose weight over the holidays. I guess for people who don't normally gain, that would be okay. But for me, just breaking even is an improvement.

That amazing. Congratulations. And I agree about moderation. What I liked about WW is that it taught me what moderation is, exactly. I would either under-shoot it and deprive myself, or go too far and not lose anything. I think that's been the big win for me with this program. (Though I'm waiting for that second nature thing to kick in! LOL) Wow Nicole, what an inspiration! 103 lbs! That amazing. Congratulations. And I agree about moderation.

Keep it up! For me the key is moderation. Plus after losing 103 pounds I tell myself "I will not binge and go back to ruin all my hard work." Now it's just second nature to eat healthy and pass up on second at dinner or those tempting sweets. Though I must confess ice cream has not been given up. I just eat a small portion of it. Congrats on doing so well! Keep it up!

I don't know what it does to my weight, as I don't go near the scales during December. Lori, its great that you've already lost 20lbs. I think its a good thing that you are only aiming not to gain over the holidays - before I fell of the Weight Watchers wagon, I saw so many people disappointed because they didn't lose anything the week that Christmas occurred.

I agree that the program itself helps a lot through the holidays since really, everything a person eats is technically on the program. It's just how much of it you have and how often. I love that! Good luck and keep up the good work. It's a great feeling going into 2010 20 lbs lighter than we were before! Liza, you’re doing amazingly!

I did great at Halloween and didn't even touch candy. My one big cheat for Thanksgiving will be my dad's dressing. I can cut out pretty much every other thing about Thanksgiving but the dressing. I will also eat just a very small piece of his chess pie. With Christmas, my only big thing I will eat will be my grandmother's asparagus casserole and her chocolate chess pie. The rest with the help of Weight Watchers will always be in my diet. Lori, thanks to you I too joined Weight Watchers and have lost 19 pounds(as of Saturday morning) since mid-August.

Though I wonder if we'd have the discipline to leave it in the freezer. My joke is that people either eat like cats or dogs. The cat people eat in moderation and stop when they're full. The dog people eat until the food is gone. All I can say to that is bow-wow. LOL Ooh, I like that idea. Though I wonder if we’d have the discipline to leave it in the freezer.

It's a much more relaxing holiday than Christmas, and that's a good tip about loading up on less fattening items. Though, I'm kinda with you on the idea that it's one day a year, so why not go for it? He he. I do like Thanksgiving, too.
