Survival Mode Put Us Back to Zero

A lot of you came here many moons ago when I left Sparkpeople.  I loved the community of that place and the support I got there.  It was at the height of us being on our game.  That motivation you have in the beginning when you're consistently rewarded with weight loss, smaller clothes, compliments to keep your motivation high and you somehow begin to step out of being invisible to the public to people smiling at you, opening doors or striking up conversation.  You start to feel human.  You don't have to worry about going to restaurants or 'fitting' somewhere.  You can go to a wedding and see those God awful thin folding chairs and while you still don't like them, you're not concerned.  Many of your worries that fit people never had to think of, have faded away.  We started for the long haul in our 30's and that's when we had the most success, losing 226 and 190 lbs respectively.  When we went on vacation, as long as we came back and got rig...

12 Days Recipes? Yay or Nay?

I know lots of sites like to do the whole 12 days of Christmas treat recipes.  Is that something you'd like to see here?  What if I got lazy and only posted 6?  Okay we'll pretend I didn't give myself the out.  (But I did)

I really am on the fence about doing one but I'm interested in trying other recipes in addition to the ones that are tried and true in my house and I just need to know if when I'm trying these out (and trying to lighten a few up if I can) would you be interested in seeing it or is it overkill for you?

Obviously we all know I'm going to do what I want (HA!) but I just wanted to see if I should be making sure the camera is charged up and keep the folding table on hand when I do them.

Should I do a 12 Days of Cmas treats recipe dohicker here?
 Sure! I love new recipes to try this time of year!
 No. The pics would be too tempting.
 Do what you want, you know you will anyway.

    I could like to see the recipes 12 or 6 either way ;) I truly enjoy reading new recipes and trying them out in my own kitchen.

    I'd look at anything you posted; one, six or twenty-five!

    Wanted to vote for #3 because it was funny...and true...but of course I'd read 12 or 6 days of anything....and photos are always a bonus.

    I always like your photos, and so far the recipes of yours that I've tried have been real hits. I guess I'd have to vote for #3 because it's the truest - but I'll enjoy seeing however many recipes you choose to share.

    I didn't even know about people doing these 12 days things and I read a LOT of healthy living/eating blogs. I say no pressure... especially since it sounds like it could be a PITA.

    I also chose number 3 because it was funny. And the truth.

    I love recipes though, so if you want to post 1 or 12 or 50, I'd love it.

    I couldn't help voting for #3...but I completely agree with #1 too! We went bonkers on your pumpkin recipes for Thanksgiving and Halloween, so hell yeah I want to go bonkers for Christmas too! :-) Besides, we have an annual cookie day, and honestly, I need something to freshen it up a bit. So yeah - it's all completely selfish and about me. :-D
