Thank you for the wonderful comments. It feels good to see ppl I haven't seen in a year look at me and say to me you look good what have you done to lose the weight! 1 more feast to get thru for thanksgiving then on to Christmas. I can do it!!!!!!
YES YOU CAN
I am so VERY proud of you. I am so very glad I met you on this thread.

Good for you for not over eating Carrie. You're an inspiration to us now.
My plan for the holidays is to exercise more that week and try to eat in moderation. I am going to eat pie and mash potatoes and gravy, but limit the portions. I plan to do as well as you did.
I have been having a hard time watching my calories. Because it is cooler I want to eat more. It has been hard not to indulge in heavy stews with bread and butter. It is easy to eat salad in the summer as it is to hot to eat a heavy meal, now I want a heavy meal. But this to shall pass and I will healthier for it.

I am so proud of how everyone is handling this holiday season. It is not easy (I know) but think of how good you will feel come January when you haven't gained anything or maybe even lost some! Yay for y'all!
Today has been a busy day. I have been cleaning my bedroom and rearranging the room too.
I am taking a break from the cleaning so I can do my laundry. I only have to wash two more loads and that makes Missy a happy girl!!
It is supposed to start snowing in a few hours and then not stop until Tuesday sometime. I want to have my room done by tonight so I can spend my time while the weather stinks designing and sewing some quilts.
I have adopted a Navy family today. It is a newlywed couple and the husband (a Naval Officer) is deploying for 12 months in about 2 weeks and I want to make her a quilt for her bed with some shams too. Hopefully it will keep her warm until her hubby gets home.
This is the first year I have done this but I am definitely going to keep doing it. I will design their quilt sometime this week and hopefully get the cutting done this week too.
By the way, YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
Love ya,
Missy

I think we all should be doing things for other people. I don't mean we all should quilt for them or buy things for them. It could just simply be a smile as you pass by them. At least that is how I feel. *shrugs*

Well, the snow has started to fall. This means that I will be indoors for the next few days. Tonight I am making my final calculations on the quilt for the Navy couple I adopted. I need to make sure my calculations are accurate so that I can begin cutting. I love to piece though. Once I get started I can usually get the top done in a couple days.
I think I am going to use blue and a shiny white. Not sure though right now. Their bed is a queen so that helps to know how big I need to make it. I also need to make sure I have enough to make shams and pillowcases.
We'll see though.
I hope you all are keeping warm!!
