Hi Kailtlin! Hi Shermaine! I'm glad you could join us. It doesn't matter when you jump on; you just list your goals and try your best!
Kittensniffles, great to hear from you; you're doing great! I think just being near my family makes me put on weight.
This is such a stressful time of year, even with all the joy, I can't even imagine dealing with starting a new job in all this.
MunaAmin, I remember that at the time I was nursing my daughter, there was a local bakery that made this incredible chocolate chip cake ring. I think I ate at least 2000 calories of that nearly every day for quite a while. On top of the other food I was inhaling. So your goal is better than the ones I had back then! I think my child was about 4 before I realized I could no longer call it " baby weight."
Peace everyone! Good luck with the shopping and all the holiday stuff,
Hope (aka Canary 52; one day I will figure out how to add a signature.)
Gotta go drink another glass of water; I'm slipping!

Thanks Glenda and Canary for the warm welcome. Today is my weekly weigh-in. Fingers crossed. I hope I see some changes tonight. Still going strong on the stair climbing but didn't hit the gym today 
Will report in tonight with my goals' progress and the weigh in result.
Have a great day ahead everyone

3. Exercise at least 30 minutes daily, Yes, Yes, Yes
4. Most important: DO NOT GAIN ANY WEIGHT, So far, so good, still no gain!!, [COLOR="deepskyblue"][/COLOR
Not a horrible day yesterday. Went a little over with the cheese and crackers sitting out at work. Got some more shopping done last night. I only have 4 more people to buy for and then I am done.
We have our first dinner tonight with family. We are going to my DH's dads house. They are serving prime rib and baked potatoes!!
You know what, I am so going to enjoy that nice steak! I am going to try and take Hope's advice and eat light today, not starve myself, just lighter. I also plan to walk on the treadmill tonight after we get home!! I am going to try and do the same thing tomorrow when we go to his mothers house. Goal # 4 is the one and only goal I am determined to accomplish this week!

If I remember correctly you just save it and the next time you post it will be there. It looks like you did it correct, I saw a thread you started somewhere else and it was there!!

Report for Thursday:
1) Go to the gym every alternate day for 20 minutes of burst training. No
2) Continue with the stair climbing routine everyday to the office and to home. Yes
3) Maintain at 1100 calorie intake. Yes
4) Start with weights training on days not doing burst training. No
5) Continue to drink 70oz of water everyday. No but close! 61oz
This is downright bad I'm still working on drinking more water! Sometimes work got busy and I forgot all about it... I'm just so lazy waking up early to go to the gym and I really gotta stop being a lazy bum. I missed my weigh in yesterday too. Will definitely do so tonight.
Enjoy your holidays peeps! Have a merry merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
