    When I lose these pounds, I'm rewarding myself with two new pairs of jeans :) so I can actually have a few pairs that fit me!
  • Maybe with this goal in mind, and this support group I'll finally be able to stick to my workout and also stop binge eating.

    When I lose these 5 lbs I'm going to happily wear the pair of jeans I bought that don't fit yet. And I will try on dresses I bought already and hopefully not have to suck in my stomach :D

    Hmmm. Reward? Better fitting clothes.

    Plan: Less salt, keep my carb to protein ratio 1:3, walking 25 miles a week & drinking 8+ glasses of water a day.

    I've been a MFP member for a couple of years, but stopped really doing anything about my weight last June when my husband suffered a concussion, and we moved, I changed jobs, my Gram passed away...
    Basically it's been a stressful year and I stopped taking care of myself, and was SHOCKED when I stepped on the scale yesterday at the Dr.
    Time to get back on track!

    For fun: I will buy myself a new pair of yoga pants.
