Holidays are coming......

Just want to remind everyone that the holidays are coming and now is a good time to think about how you're going to look in those pictures. If anything will motivate you to start eating healthy it will be thinking about how many times you've looked at pictures and discovered that the blouse you thought hid everything didn't do the trick. How about having to hold the pillow in your lap while everyone is sitting on the couch. Or the group shot where you're peeking out your head from the back. Baggy holiday sweatshirt - hmmm, no good. Soooo, I am going to start trying alittle harder, there's time to make some improvement. Have a good day all.

The trick is to stay busy, with the kids anything,and spend as little time as you can in the kitchen. Think of it as just 24 hours and you can do that. It's just another day.

Thanks for the motivation. I feel like you've seen my holiday photos (holding the pillow, standing in back, etc.) That was all I needed to read to get my brain on track. Thanks for that!

Those are my pictures you're describing right there! I've also done the stretch face forward or elongate the neck so the face doesn't look so round (and to minimise the chin count of course!) I've read so many entries in this forum and thought - oh my god, how did I ever think I was the only person who felt this way??

Hey, the couch pillow is MY FRIEND! I like my friend in my pictures. LOL. I'm usually acting all silly in pics anyway. I am not photogenic at all.

It's not what you eat between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's what you eat between Christmas and Thanksgiving.

I love taking pictures of everyone but when people take my picture I hate it. If I dont have to look at them it wouldn't be so bad. My family does a yearly photo, but I make sure I'm in the back with only partial view. I told myself last january I would be in the front row this year but it never happened....I just dont understand why I am not strong enough to change...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
