one person, two shirts
I have this gray shirt. And I loved wearing it because it fit. Sadly it is a 4x and as you can see I am wearing it in the picture. I wore the salmon shirt today (July 10th). Everyone tells me don't go by the number on the scale. Go by how your clothes fit . I like knowing that number but thought this would make a great…

Sausage Pants

So they alway show those commericals where people stand with ther fat pants or skirts or dresses in front of them and then drop "those" clothes to show how much they have lost. I always wondered if they were really their own clothes or just some big ones they found and used. I saw a guy do this on a blog today and since I…

the rubbing!
So I have been losing inches all over my body. My thighs are down 2 inches and i can tell because now they rub together! Before they were just stuck there like a two in one thing. I know it is a good thing but man it can get tender. Thankfully they make "stuff" to rub on the thighs so the chaffing stops!

weight watcher's snacks
I just love the Weight Watchers - Carrot Cake With Cream Cheese Icing. They are just the right size as a snack and 90 calories. I just wish i could find something that compared that was a little less expensive. Yes I am losing inches and pounds but my grocery bill has been crazy this past week because I am buying healthier…
