Closet.............went there today...........whew!
Okay, this is a success to me as I have been avoiding my closet for probably coming upon a year or two now.

I'm impressed with myself!
Not so much in the weight loss, although that's going well too. I've never been able to do more than 10 min on my elliptical machine... and that's on a good day. Today I got on it... and went 30 minutes!!! And I felt like I could have kept going but I didn't want to push it. Maybe if I still feel great this afternoon, I'll…

Not much but....
OK - after years of measuring my "after baby" gut and getting the same measurement......I took it Thursday morning and OMG it had gone down by .5 inches. I took it Fri. and Sat. too just to make sure and it was the same. I know .5 inches does not seem like a big deal, but it's wonderful for this Mom!! Especially since the…

Now I am below 235, but got to keep it going :-)

my hubby asked did I want.......
some hersey kisses. I love those and before I started this lifestyle change I would have eat a whole big bag of them. I told him no, so that is a big deal to me. I can't believe that I resisted them but I did.

Went to the movie WITHOUT eating popcorn!!!
Yea!! I took my daughter to see the new "Confessions of a Shopaholic" movie today and was kind of anxious about it...to me movies mean big tubs of popcorn and a gallon of diet coke and maybe some Milk Duds. I packed some grapes and carrots and got a small diet coke. No problem at all. (it did smell really good though).

A small milestone...
My DH is one of those men that can eat the house and weigh less afterwards. It's wonderful!:grumble: But, he has high cholesterol. So we switched to 7% fat hamburger like 4 months ago. Then when I started this in Dec. we switched to ground turkey. He complained a bit but, was pretty good about it. About 2 months ago I sent…

145 pounds has been my wall for almost nine months. I was yo-yo'ing back and forth between 145 as my low and 151 as my high. I weighed in at 143.9 this morning! I am so happy I could dance a jig! Has anyone else experienced the "wall"? How did you get passed it?
