Do you want to know what I think would be fun if we all sent the winner FQ's with food, cake, cupcakes, chocolate. They can't eat it but they can look at it. Then they could make a block for each pound they loss during their diet with the fabric. They could title it FAT QUILT :shock: :shock: :shock: it's just a thought......

That would make a memorable quilt! :lol:


I guess I shouldn't be afraid to say this here since we're all in the same boat, but I'm now 180. My scale doesn't show fractions. I'm 5' 8" btw - and I'd LOVE to be about 145. It's been a long time since I've been that low..... I'd be happy with 150, but I figure with 145 then I have room to cheat now & then!

And for anyone who's concerned about the competition, my knees have been so bad lately that I dread moving - I will try to exercise, but I'm not sure how it's going to play out for me right now - I will try though! But I've already been thinking about where I'm gonna buy the fq! :thumbup: :lol:

My doctor told me to lose 15 to 20 pounds before starting to excercise. Just take it slow and don 't try to do more than you can.

I agree with the doing what you can, but I'd really be up a creek if I could not exercise. Since age 40, I have not been able to lose any weight without the addition of exercise. What happened?? :lol: Guess I just need to get moving!

We are on the right track! Three cheers for all of us making the effort to be more healthy!! :thumbup:

I think that's a great idea on the fat quilt and fat quarters!
