20-25 lbs gone (probably more...but I'm too chicken to weigh myself again just yet...*hanging head*). Slipped into an long black sheath work dress I haven't worn in a couple of years this morning...(it was slightly loose too!)...as I left my car to walk to my office...I caused a near fender bender in my parking lot. **Sheepish grin**...I know it probably sounds a bit shallow - but it just felt fabulous to be causing traffic accidents again...tee hee hee...:-)

    That is so great, and you should be proud of yourself. i haven't been logging my calories lately, but this is the program that got me paying more attention to what I'm eating and how I am eating. I have lost just over 10lbs in the past month and I feel great I have lots to go, but I now feel confident i can do it. I have changed my whole attitude about EVERYTHING. I am exercising everyday now and no wheat or dairy. Lots of vegetables, some chicken, and I have been drinking Isagenix protein shakes. I think everyone has to do what works for them. Exercise was the big thing I was lacking in my life. I still don't always like to do it, but i just force myself now and I always feel better after. Anyway, i am very happy for you, and I say crow all you want, you deserve it.

    That's exactly it! It made me realize just how many calories I was putting away on a daily basis...even when I wasn't hungry. By seeing it in black and white made me scratch my head and say.."Damn...it really does add up fast!". It's given me the confidence to feel in control of my day. And the bonus exercise tab makes me more inclined to hop on the elliptical to see that calories burned number go right up :-)
    10lbs is awesome! It feels so good to see the scale move down :-)
