I signed up another piano student this morning!!!
I just am so excited I wanted to share it with everyone. I've been slowly regrowing my piano lessons business from the ground up, and the beginning is always the hardest time. Well I had a random referral call this morning, and booked a 6th lesson for tomorrow evening. It fit perfectly in my schedule, and the 5 year old…

for me..a small victory.
So I had a tough decision just now for my afternoon snack. It was between some UTZ sour cream and onion potatoe chips(20 chips equals 160 calories) which i plugged into my diary and was going to eat them. But then i was like no, I have a 100 calorie pack of natural almonds. I should eat those instead...and I DID! I know…

It's nice to be UNrecognized!
My husband and I saw an old buddy of his that we had not seen in about a 2years at the store tonight. It was odd when he did not say hi to me so I walked of while him and my husband talked. I noticed they kept looking at me and talking . I just had to ask what was I doing that was so facinating to them. Well my husband's…

20 pounds does show!
Today brought a reversal of the usual problem of discovering that my jeans do not fit because they are too tight. Because today, I dug down into the drawer and took out an old pair, pulled them on, and they would not even stay up. I could not believe it! I must have bought them at my highest of nearly 150 over a year ago.…

Last minute choices....!!!
Okay, this thread might be intended for big successes, but ... every good choice (even if it's small) eventually adds up. Last night I got a last minute invitation to dinner ... at a steakhouse. Even though my dinner was already planned and my food was pre-logged already - I said yes and went "with the flow" - (this was a…

Frustrated With Weight Loss
I am hoping these stories will help me. I am just starting this program. I have been doing weight watchers since I was 19 and I have gained only 8 lbs in 10 years. I still eat the same, healthy foods, I wonder sometimes if I am not eating enough calories. Like today, after dinner I have 300 left still. I have crohns so I…

Two Months In...
Well, I started this ride on January 4. That day, I weighed in at 267 pounds. I weighed in this morning, and came in at 248 pounds. I've finally broken through that psychological point of 250 pounds. There have been some tryinig times but, at this rate, I should hit my goal weight of 230 by the end of April, which is what…

Halfway...didn't notice a difference until this
Okay, so I'm right about the halfway mark of my weight loss. My highest weight was 178, I'm at 149.5 now, and I want to get to 125. So that's 28 lost, 24 to go. When I look in the mirror I still see so much fat and felt like I've worked so hard and gotten nowhere. I was looking through a photo album and found a full-body…

Well, I'm back after Breast Cancer Saga
:heart: Well, as of September I had met my weight loss goal of 44 lbs, and things were going quite well. Getting in great physical condition and generally very happy. Then I got hit by a semi-truck. Found out on October 19 that I had breast cancer. The whirlwind began. Had surgery mid-November, double mastectomies and…

As some of you knw I am dyslexic and therefore cant spell, or for that matter read my scale right. Turns out I acutally hit my goal 2 weeks ago but i was reading the 6 as a 9 and…

Still a bit tight around the…

Just gotta share!!
So, my husband come home the other night and tells me that one of the young guys he works with saw us leaving a store the other day. He asked my husband "who was the hot chick you were with?"!!!!!! He thought I was my daughter!! I had to laugh!!! IF he wouldl have seen my up close, he would have realized I was a bit older…

14 minute mile!!!
I just did 2 miles in 28 minutes flat...and I was running for half that time. I walked one block, ran one, walked one--except for the second mile, where I walked one, ran two. I am a badass. In fact, I am the Goddess of Exercise. Tribute line to the right>>> :tongue:

My New Checkout Candy
I was at Wal-Mart and like usual I was hungry by the time I was finished shopping, but this time was different . Instead of grabbing the usual Twix or Reeses I went to their produce section and grabbed a banana:smile: . This experience has got me thinking that maybe I really can change my eating habits for good.

Making progress again!
After a solid 2 weeks of doing everything right and not losing anything, I lost 4 pounds last week. A small victory, but I'm pretty jazzed about it!! I am convinced that it is because I left the treadmill behind and bought an elliptical. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools

Prism Weight Loss Plan
Anyone on the Prism Program? I live in the Sonoma County area and I am looking to connect with anyone close by who is doing the Prism Program. The closest group I could find is in the Sacramento area and that is way too far to drive (2 hrs)

Breaking through.
I was stuck on the 6 pounds to go mark. I was getting frustrated because I was eating 1200 cals a day and exercising 4 days a week. I finally decided to increase my cals by 150 per day and lost 1.2 pounds this week. It sounds crazy to eat more to lose weight but it worked.

My dirty little secret
I have to get this off my chest now. I have a dirty little secret, and it's a sad one. The 6 lbs I lost, I have gained back, and I gained them all back over my 3 day weekend away at Blue Mountain with Kevin. Every night we were there, we ate out at a restaurant and I did not necessarily make the most healthiest of choices,…

Photos
Because I totally suck at posting pictures here, I updated the pics on my profile. There is one before shot, one after, and one before and after close up. Take a look, the difference was pretty amazing even to myself, I can't believe I was ever that big. My brother asked if I chose the worst picture possible, but there…

Lovin them!
Compliments that is!! Over the last week since I've been able to fit into my size 6 jeans and slacks (2 pair are size 4!!) people have been complimenting me. Telling me they can't even tell I've had a baby. I'm loving every minute of it!! It's been so long! I was pregnant in 2006/2007 then got back into shape a year after…
