 It's time to ring in the new year and win some prizes! Tell us your wishes for the new year, and pick a number between one and ten. We'll add your name to the list, and we'll have a drawing on Sunday night to see who wins them. (We'll go ahead and have our drawing early if all of the slots fill up before then.)

Also, feel free to hang out and chat with others as we ring in 2012!

I wish for good health for family and friends. I wish to have all bills paid off. Winning the lottery would be wonderful. I also wish to make it big with my crafting. I wish for all to have employment who want it.
I'll go with the number seven.
Happy New Year, everyone!

What a nice little party idea! I pick #3.
My wishes for the New Year are to get a good, worthwhile job, and to clean out my messy house. I already started today with sending out more applications and by carrying two big bags of stuff to the Salvation Army down the road.

I would like to pick number 1, please. c:
My wishes for the New Year are that my husband finds a full-time job with benefits and that our own little home follows.
It also is my wish to lose weight.
I say wish, not goal. c;

But losing four pounds is excellent!
I would be grateful if I just stopped gaining weight. xp
I might have to get the details on your "diet" again so I can try for myself.
The problem is, as long as I'm nursing Afon, my appetite is hard to suppress.

I've lived on a very tight budget all of my life, so I think I know how to be cheap enough to save up some money. I'll keep everyone updated on my application status. It's very competitive, so there are not guarantees that I'll even get an interview. @ary - Of course you can enter! xd

I still want to lose 60 more pounds by July 30th (which is when I'll be leaving for Japan if I make it into the program), so four pounds is kind of slow for me. Sadly, I made a little piggy of myself tonight with all of the New Year's goodies and candies. I had to sample every single desert and go back for seconds. sweatdrop
Basically, I'm eating 3/4 to 1 cup of food (depending on nutritional value) every 2 1/2 hours. I'm trying to make healthier choices, but I don't always succeed. I let myself splurge from time to time, so I'm not too terribly strict. It's all about not letting your blood sugar spike, so sweets are dangerous with this kind of thing. If you want sweets, go ahead and eat them. Just remember to stay within a very strict moderation. Do you know about those little Hershey's Bliss chocolates? If you want something sweet, eat one of those slowly, and stop. Other small candies are great. If it's a cobbler, get a spoonful of it, and eat it every slowly, and stop. You're still getting the yummy goodness, but in much smaller portions. I kind of blew it on the sweets tonight, but I'll try to be good to make up for it. Ummm.... I'm drinking a lot of unsweetened tea and taking daily vitamins also. Beware the sweet drinks! Those things are dangerous to this type of thing. Juice is also dangerous. If you want juice, dilute it with water so you can keep your blood sugar from spiking too much. It's almost a diabetic type diet, but it works! Let me know if it works for you! Snacking is good for this kind of thing! Just remember to keep it in moderation. biggrin
