Wow! I hope you can see your success now, you've done a great job.

I've noticed lately that I like not wearing socks as often. Used to I felt very uncomfortable without socks on, especially while sleeping, and now I've stopped wearing socks to bed, and find myself going sockless quite often while I'm home. It's definitely a strange result!

Marie, I'm so glad you'll get your new computer soon! I know you'll enjoy using that so much more than the crummy ipad. :) Connie, I'm glad you're feeling good effects from your new eating plan. Getting good sleep is supposed to be really beneficial to weight loss. Esther, you'll knock that 225 out so fast! And I hope you…

Shirley, what a great loss!!! Connie, have a good workout! I need to get myself in a pool this weekend! Marie, don't let it get you down. I'm sure that small gain will be gone soon enough. :)

I'm only vegetarian, but I don't announce it to the world. It's funny, some friends of ours wanted to have us over for dinner, and when my husband told them I don't eat meat they didn't know what to make. They took us out to eat instead. A lot of people don't seem to understand that I'll find something to eat, usually…

I'm about 7 lbs. from goal as well. Just stick with what you know is the right thing to do as far as food and exercise. Calories-In/Calories-Out. It will happen for you! And hopefully for me too! :)

I feel like you might feel pretty sick/miserable if you're consuming that much food between workouts. Unless I'm reading that wrong.

Stephanie, I'm sure there are classes all around me, there are several gyms nearby and one within walking distance, but I'm unemployed right now so I need free. :) Connie, Ruthie, I'll look into that book. And Barbie there's a Barnes & Noble nearby so I can poke around there for that book. Nancy, dreams can come true!…

I've been wanting to start doing weight training, but I just don't know where to start. I was thinking of posting a question about it on the forums but figured I'd get jumped on by the normal group of know-it-all's. Shirley your pot luck dinner sounds good. I'm not big on sauerkraut but I do love crock pot sausage,…

Wonderful transformation! Congratulations and I wish you much success on maintaining! :)

The first few weeks are the hardest. It will get better than day one, trust me.

Tami I understand the losing weight and still not having clothes to wear. I wanted to lose weight because I have sooo many articles of clothing I'd like to wear, but as things progress some of those clothes are getting too big! When I reach my goal I'll need new pants for sure, my smaller jeans are already getting roomy on…

Tami, thank you! We can use all the good thoughts possible with this process. :) It's really sad what FEMA is doing with these new "flood zones", it's literally kicking people out of their homes. There are quite a few nice houses on the market now because the owners can't afford the new insurance costs. I wish we could try…

Have you considered signing up for a race/5k? I should really start making a list of "things to achieve" that are beyond weight.

I hope you feel better tomorrow, Janice! The weather was wonderful today. I got bored sitting inside and went and sat on the deck by the pool today, it was just too nice out to not enjoy a little bit of it. I have a roaming headache/migraine tonight, not sure what's up with that. Hopefully it's gone by morning. We should…

Be 100% accountable to yourself. I used to eat a lot more than my husband saw/thought I was eating. I was sneaky sometimes and sure wasn't fooling my body in the end. You can do this, and if you dedicate yourself to this process, you will do this. See that stomach picture above my name? It sure didn't look like that 5…

I agree Marie, I think more people should dress up more often. I know I wish I would! I find it just makes me feel good when I'm dressed up(though rare). @Sunnyfarm It sounds like you're going to be doing a lot of good at your new job.

Congratulations on achieving your goal! I'm keeping in mind that once I reach mine I'll need to refocus and "regroup". Things are always easier when you're working toward a goal, I don't want to have too big of a "now what?" moment when I achieve mine.

Stephanie, I had a close call with M&Ms last night too. I felt so hungry yesterday because I got up earlier but didn't go to bed earlier, so I had the same amount of calories to stretch over an extended day, and I was peering in the pantry and almost grabbed the bag of peanut M&Ms. Don't get down on yourself, just change…

Esther that's awesome! That'll take a little stress off for sure. I look forward to hearing what your doc says!

Glad to see everyone is doing well! I stepped away from posting on Saturday, and stayed pretty busy yesterday. We went to make an offer on a house on Saturday, the house had been on the market for 36 hours, with 24 notice needed for showings, so the morning we saw it was the first opportunity for seeing it. The house had…

Wow! Awesome work! You must be feeling great! :)

Shirley, a small gain for a great weekend is something you shouldn't regret. :) Just enjoy your family time. Marie, I'm so super excited for you!!! You are rockin' this vegan thing, I'm so happy and proud for you!! Stephanie, I'm glad you're feeling better today! I'm feeling better today too! Our cloud must have floated…

Aww Stephanie, we need to start realizing how awesome we are! Haha. I hope you get some of the attention you deserve soon, I definitely know how you feel. It's one of those things you wish you could just outright ask for, but at the same time it would feel weird to ask for it. I can relate to the friend thing too. I found…

Next I'm going to be told there's not actually froot in them. :open_mouth:

Janice, you're right, if he's not interested in going to the park on Saturday I'll find someone who is. Haha. He's actually very interested in finding a house. He doesn't want to waste money on rent any more and he wants some land to plant on. He's not burnt out on it at all actually, because he hasn't been the one putting…

Janice, I'm glad your sister is feeling a little better. I hope her progress gets better and better. Marie, that's a great sale on pineapple! I bet you could stock up and freeze it in slices. Frozen pineapple chunks could be really nice when hot Summer days roll around. My husband plants pineapple tops and grows pineapple…

Janice, it's Jeffersontown Veterans Park. They're showing Paddington Bear. :) I almost rented it from Redbox last week, I'm glad I didn't! I'm also trying to talk my husband into going to see Shakespeare in the park this weekend in downtown Louisville. I haven't heard from Hallmark yet, so I'm not sure yet on that. I hope…
