lost 5 over x-mas break :-D yay me!

Good for you!!!

Well, I managed to put the whole weightloss issue out of my mind for a week or two (or three). Stress has been my #1 issue lately. Moved into a new house, moved my horse to a new barn, and hosted Christmas to 20 people on 16 hours notice.

I am going on a new track starting tomorrow. I am setting the alarm to get up with Hubby ( I like to sleep in) and will head to the gym in the a.m. Then stop at the barn to run around with Le Doux for a while. I have been doing just okay with the food issue (since I cooked Christmas dinner, we had all my favorite, made just the way I like them!! ) And I have pounded more than a few cookies sitting in front of the computer tonight! Yikes...only 4 left!! Good for those of you behaving so well!!!

EWWW! Brussel Sprouts? Just kidding. I have a recipe for brussel sprout meatballs that I've been wanting to try.

I tried drinking 8 8oz. glasses of water a day and found my new hobby was peeing!

ROFL!!!!! Yeah Ive taken up that hobby too & with low rise jeans with a belt that lays just low enough for you to be running to the bathroom every hr! hahahaha!!!!!

At least your diet is current. My mom did Deal A Meal in the 80's so I just confiscated all her stuff. It really works too! The only hard part (besides having to look at Richard Simmons ) is you have to sit down and plan out your weekly menu so you know what you are eating.

It's one of the best feelings in the world to slide on those jeans and realize it's time to go shopping!

OMG!! I just read what you had for Xmas dinner and my stomach growled so loud I thought the guy in the next office would hear it! That sounds soooo good do you want to be my personal chef! Oh wait that would kind of put the weight loss on the fritz!

No kidding!

In case you didn't notice, I came across this a little late and am catching up on everyones posts! I want in too! I only need to lose another 20# to reach my goal! 5'-8" and 140# can we say size 8? No way! I'm trying to get my husband to go on the Deal A Meal Plan and join the gym with me. He's almost ready. I hope he does 'cause it's kinda boring doin it by yourself.

I have spent more money on new clothes this year than in the past 5 years put together I think!

I started out a size 16 last January and I'm now size 6. On the way, I bought a few size 12's, a few size 10's, a few size 8's and now a whole bunch of size 6's.

Luckily there's a great resale store near me

thank goodness i bought clothes(but not many!) as i went up in weight. now i am in that wierd in-between phase. will be over in a few weeks. but i am glad i have those ugly old fat clothes! OMG. I was a size 22.(can't believe i admitted that!)now a size 16 almost 14. i still have my "BIG" pants and take them out to look at. wow! 50 more pounds to go! i still have my old size 8s. can't wait to put them back on. in style or not!

I can't remember being anything less than a 14 even in highschool. I'm almost a 10 now and "have nothing to wear!" My doctors records say I got up to 210 at one point but, I told him he was a dirty liar! My scale said 200 and a size 18. That was when I finally got my head around diet and exersice.

More the merrier!!!!!
