My updated why? I am so close to my goal...just 5lbs to the upper end of my healthy weight and just 15 to my final goal. I have made it this far. Cannot give up now. I am with you...bring on Spring! I am itching to get off the treadmill and back outdoors. Hopefully this weekend it will be warm enough for me to run outdoors.

Damn he's hot!

Country

Eating less packaged foods and more fresh fruits and veggies.

An insanely handsome man asked me out and told me that I am tiny.

I am 5' 1/2". Current weight is 135. Goal is 120.

Yes I have...he was very sweet!

I do have a corset...just not a strawberry one.

3 wives and 22 kids.

Yoga and Pilates are my faves at home. There is also a seemingly unlimited amount of workout videos on YouTube. I did a cardio-dance one the other night that really did kick my butt!

The recipe is intended to be Low Carb for those MFP members who for various reasons, such as diabetics, who need to monitor and limit carbs. If you don't like the numbers, don't make it.

That it takes a while for your brain to recognize the change. Yes...the shoes! Of course that gives me an excuse to buy more...as if I needed an excuse. The men who will hit on you! A former boss hit on me on Facebook. Um...NO! and I should mention eew! And after more than 30 years a man that was a couple of years ahead of…

I wasn't allowed to date until I was about 15 1/2...so yeah... My parents' rule was actually 16 but he was the son of a couple of their friends. We started dating long before any of the adults figured out what was going on. By that time it was too late to say no since we had been dating for a few months while they thought…

Jeni's Ice cream...pretty much any flavor. Pepperoni. I can't even have it in the house or it is all over.

I have the same problem when I look in the mirror. I see the loss when I have on my new clothes but once I strip down, all is see is the stretch marks and what is still there. Which to be honest is probably not as much as my brain thinks is there. I am working with the Employee Health and Wellness Nurse at work and we have…

Buy the boots!!! ALWAYS BUY THE SHOES!!! Even after cleaning out my closet I have 28 pairs of shoes, not counting sandals (they don't count as shoes, right?). My BF told me I need to buy more shoes so I have a pair for each day of the month. He really knows me and that's yet another reason why I love him...he encourages me…

I have a hard time as well. I cleaned out my closet and dresser. I now need to sort through the boxes (yes BOXES...I love clothes, even when I was 63lbs bigger) and decide what is good enough to take to a consignment shop and what to just donate. I have found that if I buy clothes that actually fit they look better on me…

Overthinking is a bad habit for me as well. Normally when I need to clear my head I disappear with my cameras for the day but near zero temps made that not an option. This weekend is looking like a bust as well. His Dad was discharged from the hospital today and apparently is convinced that the doctors just sent him home…

Thank you ladies. You are right, I am making myself crazy and he is making a huge effort in the middle of the chaos. Thank you so much for helping me put it in perspective. I think I had just been looking forward to spending more quality time with him than we usually get that when the plans we made got derailed it was…

I am watching Dance Moms...Yeah, I know but it's my guilty pleasure. I can speak from having 18 years experience as a Dance Mom and 3 years as a Dance Grandma...Those women DO NOT represent what we are really like!

Unofficially taken.

To celebrate a good 2014 our CEO grilled Rib eye steaks today...in sub-zero temps. Each one was probably 16oz. I only ate maybe 3 oz of mine and took the rest home. Also skipped the baked potato w/butter and sour cream. Had a nice big salad instead.

I am less than 5lbs from the upper end of my healthy weight range and just under 15lbs from my final goal. To date I have lost a total of 63 lbs. My ex told me recently "You know, losing so much weight makes you look older". We usually get along just fine after being divorced more than 25 years. I even picked out his…

I am 5' .5". At my heaviest I was 199lbs and wore size 16. I am now down to 133 and wear size 10 jeans but in dress clothes I am a size 8. For clothing sized S, M, L, I am now easily a medium. I am looking to get down to 120 so I am thinking I will end up in a size 8 in jeans.

The temps to get out of the single digits and stay there.... And lunch.

There is a group on MFP called Ohio :) It is pretty quiet but maybe we could liven it up a bit.

I am very self conscious about my lower abdominal area, and to a lesser extent the upper abdominal area. Realistically, I know the hanging skin is shrinking but all I see is what is still there. I feel like I am forever, shall we say guiding, his hands away from that area. When we were together several years ago I was at…

Stoutsville here...near Lancaster.

I confess that I am the most insecure person I know.
