Negative people

Setting smaller goals
I have 45 lbs to loose...that seems like alot to me. It has been a little discouraging to think of how long it's gonna take me to loose it. SOOOOO I decided that I will just worry about getting under that "overweight" mark first. I am only about 10 lbs away from that, so it seems more do-able. I would like to get back to…

Husband Thinks This is Idiotic...
My husband thinks my calorie counting, exercise, etc... is foolish. When he saw me online putting in my food info, he rolled his eyes and laughed.

Visit from the MIL
My MIL is visiting us at the beginning of July, 11 weeks from now. I have been at this for 10 weeks already, and lost 17 pounds. My weight loss is slowing down a little, but I don't think it is unreasonable to be down a total of 30 pounds by the time she visits--I would be 161 if that happens. The problem? I don't think it…

So tonight I went to visit one of my friends for the first time in a couple of months. I guess I hadn't seen her since I started trying to lose weight.
