37 Pounds Down ...Same Pants Size
So, I've been a little frustrated because I've gone down 37 pounds but my pants size hasn't changed. So, it's a little disheartening. I asked myself how that is possible while lamenting that I've worked so hard ( blah, blah, blah). Then it dawned on me. My pants were SO tight when I started that I had a gigantic muffintop,…

The Final Straw ( or in this case......button)
I have had more than a few "aha" moments over the decades. However, I think this is the final one. I was tired of feeling like I've worked out when all I did was hold my breath to tie my shoes. I was tired of going up the stairs at work and having the phone have the horrible timing to ring as I enter my office. Nothing…

100 pounds To Get Rid Of....
Hi! My name is Diana. I'm happily married and have two sons ( 21 and 9 years old).

Week 5 Weigh-in (Feb. 1)
Well, the scale has managed to go down finally for more than one week in a row, instead of back up and up and up. :) Lost another 2 pounds this week. Getting closer to returning to Onederland and eventually the 194 pounds where I left off before my bingefest of a couple of months. Back on track. :)

Week 4 Weigh-in (Jan. 25)
Well, I have finally turned the weight gain around. I have managed to lose 4 pounds this week. It was not fun. I ate well under my calorie goal (but never under 1200) for quite a few days in order to get out of the "shove everything in my mouth" mentality that I had adopted. I also drank way more water than usual (another…
