Let's Lose Together!

We have just a few weeks until the holiday season comes to a close. How are you doing with the Healthy Holiday Challenge? We're in the home stretch! Check it out at http://family.go.com/community/groups/lets-lose-together-grp/healthy-holiday-challenge--9020/newest-first/. Keep at it, everyone!

Don't let yourself get worn out during the busy holiday season. Weigh and measure your time the same way you weigh and measure your food. Take activities in small doses. And remember that piece of pie with ice cream (or whatever it is) is not going to revive you.

Are you getting enough sleep over this holiday season? Sleep is very important for weight loss. It's when our metabolism goes into high gear and repairs and renews all of the body's system. So... sweet dreams. :)

Everything my sister made for Thanksgiving dinner was delicious, low-fat or fat free, and healthy. I'll be posting some of her recipes soon in Low-Cal Holiday Foods at http://family.go.com/community/groups/lets-lose-together-grp/low--cal-holiday-foods-3473/. Feel free to share your own recipes!

What works:

1 - ASK your doc for exercise & food plans
2 - DRINK 64 oz of water every day
3 - MOVE around every day, even for a 20 minute walk
4 - VENT when things are tough. Don't eat!
5 - START your own food diary topic, above
6 - PORTION control - use a cup and scale

Try it! You'll lik
