This is what keeps me going.
I've always been considered thin. Got married 16 years ago and I see the photos and always say wow that is when I really was at the weight I want to be. Of course with kids, life etc... pounds added up here and there and although I was never "fat" I still felt fluffy. Well I look at that wedding photo and honestly it keeps…

GRITS???
I understand by reading all the labels that grits are loaded with carbs.. ok.. but I'm very confused on the calorie content. I know that when cooked there is way more water than the actual grits. So I try to figure a cup of cooked grits.. but so many different calories come up. I'm just looking at plain white corn grits.

At how many pounds.. do others start noticing?
It's funny because If I lose 5lbs it's not noticeable. (my dog is 5lbs) I lost 8 so far.. not a word from anyone.. so when? 10lbs? 15? Just curious... I wonder if losing an infant is when people notice?
