    NSV- Fitting in to a pair of jeans I inherited from my mom (she's cool, there good jeans) after she lost a bunch of weight. I inherited the jeans ooooooh.... 5 years ago? Have held on to them because I was always annoyed I couldn't fit into my mom's FAT JEANS! So I said I would keep them until I could fit in them, and now I can :)

    NSV - I actually like my strength training class! I've taken it 2 x a week since October! Never have I stuck with exercise!

    My problem will now be to find this post again for next week? I can't figure out the website easily because I am terrible at a computer! Good luck, eat well and feel better after some type of exercise!

    April 1: 146
    April 6: 145 (-1 pound)
    April 12: 143 (-2 pounds)

    Ok, I'm back to where I was in mid-March, now the next pounds I lose will be for the first time for an all-time post-baby low, instead of losing the same pounds for the second or third time...

    I booked a trip to visit my sister in June (8 weeks away), and she has challenged me to lose 5 more pounds before then. I adjusted the goal to 6 pounds, since that would bring me to 136, which is the top of the "healthy" BMI range. (I'm 5'2".)

    Lest' try this again!

    GW: 197.6

    April 6: 198 (4.6 lb loss!)
    April 13: 196.2
    April 20:
    April 27:

    I'm in a little shock here. I realized why I gained almost two lbs last week. Poor food choices and TOM certainly were the top two. But now to have this! OMG. Plateau...stay away!

    @usborne, thanks much for your tip about eating half of your exercise calories. Such a good physical and psychological mind set!

    Ok, the plateau prayer was effective! :) New Goal: 8.5 lbs for April!
