Under- doing it is a much better idea. You won't be too sore to move, making it easier to want to do it again. Turtles are smart!

Today's decluttering task is to create a household binder. So I stripped the bed, am washing sheets and blanket, and folded laundry. Will start dinner soon, and not sure what else I'll get up to. Happy Monday everyone!

CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so thrilled for you! What a huge accomplishment.

It sounds like God is sending you a message! My step tracker was cheap. I just wanted to know if I'd use it. It wouldn't even link to my phone, was supposed to, but I didn't care. I will get another, better quality. I used it to motivate me at first, then to beat my record. Lol

It gave me the boost I needed. My step tracker died yesterday, so I was a little lost. Today I just timed myself.

Cleaned out my knife drawer today. Wiped all the surfaces I've cleaned off, and swept through the house. Hubby says the work I've been putting in shows. YAY!

Today I did the kitchen table. Kind of a slacker today. I'll be ready for tomorrow though

I also ended up cleaning the wall. I figured I'd better while the couch isn't there. :)

Today is kitchen counters and islands. I don't have a lot of counter space, so not much to declutter. Instead, I'm taking everything off, cleaning the counter and wall, cleaning the appliances, and putting them back. Will take more than 15 minutes, but worth it! Also, we are taking our broken couch out today, so I will be…

Thanks! I've been wanting to do it for years.

@Nooie19 its Declutter 365 From Home Storage Solutions 101. I have the 2018 version, but there's a 2019. Also its free.

Put all my recipes in alphabetical order, and in protective covers. Put them in a 3 inch binder (my 1" was too small). Recipes organized!

It's a new show, just heard about it today. I'm planning to check it out. :smile:

Someone posted a link to a declutter site a while ago. Its 15 minutes a day and gets every part of your house. I am doing it. Today is clean the sink area. Not under the sink. It took me 17 minutes, but I don't have a lot of stuff in that area. I will say, behind the faucet was disgusting. I will do better! I also need a…

What a fantastic morale boost! I love that you blasted the fear out the door. Good for you my friend!

You are celebrating who you are at this moment. Its a great gift and does inspire confidence.

Just keep in mind that when you get to that size, you'll deserve new clothes. :)

I cleaned off my fake kitchen island this morning. I have things on the couch, from it, have to figure out where to put them. If they are still there this weekend, out they go. Happy New Year, we can do this!

This summer I moved my spices from a cupboard to a drawer. I threw out so many spices! I'm trying to remember to mark the year of purchase on the bottoms, when I buy new. That way maybe I won't still have them in 10 years. :/

I've started the digital decluttering. I do pics by the month. I do 15 minutes at a time. If its a big file, I copy the keepers into a new folder. That way I can go back later and continue where I left off. That's on my pc. Good luck, you're already doing great!

All those inches gone! Yay you! Its truly amazing the difference, even when the scale doesn't move much. I'm celebrating your joy!

When I don't have a lot of time (or motivation), I go through a drawer. It honestly makes me feel like I accomplished something. And I did. :)

You're right. Since I found this thread, I've become more aware of what I look at while cleaning. The things I have become aware of surprise me because I've looked at them for years.

Gisel2015 there are some adorable ideas on that link. Thank you!

Today I realized that I have a lot of king size pillowcases, but have queen size pillows. Pulled them all out of the linen closet, and threw them in the washer with our new sheets. I will donate them to the animal shelter with the rugs I've made. Speaking of dog rugs, I have officially gotten through all of my " scrap"…

Merry Christmas everyone!

Slow and steady wins the strawberry! Love that pic :smiley: I'm happy dancing too! Thank you for all the encouragement, it means so much to me, and many more.

This is a wonderful post! You tied it all back to the results you wanted...and got. Thank you!

WOW! You've made remarkable progress! Love that you keep reiterating Slow. It reminds me that I too am making progress. I am officially down a pant size! Congrats my friend!
