I have got to get the mess I live in organized. I simply cannot function any longer living in such a stressful environment.
There have been a few times in my life when I've had everything in order and in it's place and I felt like I was floating on air. And I actually started losing weight because I kept so busy just having a good time and getting things done. In addition to floating on air I felt that I had a tremendous amount of energy.
So this month I'll be getting ready to participate in next months weight loss challenge. Good luck to everyone.
You have experienced what I read in a book "Does this clutter make my butt look fat?" It made the connection between clutter in your home also showing up in clutter on your body. I think I have also read the same connection with the S.H.E. authors.
I decluttered 2 years ago and could easily do it again today. I have labeled this year "less is best". After my son graduates from high school next year, we plan to move back to the Pacific Northwest and I won't be able to take it all. And with fabric prices at such highs, it would almost be cheaper to ship what I can't take with me.

QBquilts, what type of medication did they recommend? (I hope you don't mind me asking.) It may be good to have a bottle on hand?

I got good news today. Had a mammogram Thursday which I have been dreading after last years scare which prompted double stereotactic biopsies. Those results showed no evidence of malignancy.
Already got the results which are NORMAL. God is good.

Missy I must try and find this craft book I bought several years ago brcause it was all crafts made with bras, girtles, and corsets. Its very funny but really had some good items. Thet had several styles of purse made with bras using the cups, straps and front closurers. Some you would even be willing to carry. Thet covered whites and beiges with fabric or tie dyed them. They added deco items. Sounds like you could make some totes if they will hold watermelons. Think of it as going green and losing weight at the same time, make them into bags , take to store to save on plastic, then laugh your a.. knowing what they are made of.

I love your idea of charity quilts for unwed moms shelter. I've never bought fabric at fabric.com. It's good of them to make it right for you. Have you bought from them before? Good luck on the quilts. I'll bet they're awsome!

I am still working on my future D-I-L birthday quilt however every night I work on my Lent project. Charity quilts for the unwed moms shelter. I was disappointed yesterday as the fabric I bought at fabric.com said 100% it wasn't it. I called them and they said they were sorry. They had thousands of shirting and it was all listed wrong. I won't use it they will take it back so now I have to figure out fabric. I think I have enough for 4 more but they are all girly looking I wanted 1/2 girl 1/2 boy, thats not happening.

Hi, I so far are two pounds more than I did yesterday and I haven't cheated or go off the program. I was ready to quit and get back to normal food but then I reconsidered and thought healthy wins today.
For the lady who is depressed about things in general, I too, think you should look into some counseling. Depression is not fun but there is help for it to make more manageable.
For those who have sling shots, think of me with 54 G's. Makes my back hurt. Now you know why I am wearing my gown right now. (Too much informations I guess,. LOL)

Lynne, I'm glad, and know you are relieved, to get a good mammogram report. Hubby and I have done meal planning for once I'm home. He will take good care of me. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
Carrie, woo hoo for losing that lb and getting yourself back in gear for losing weight. Remember...you are the one that got me going again. I'm proud of you for your overall loss and keeping it off. Hang in there, girl, I'm with you. We can and we will do this!!!
Okay, tata girls....I only have big ones because I am overweight. My boobs are the 1st place I lose weight. Once all my excess weight is gone, my girls will be gone too. But I don't mind. I will gladlly give up boobs if it goes with losing this weight.
I love the comment someone made the other day about theirs sweeping the ground. haha
I hope you all get a good night's sleep and have a good day tomorrow. Goodnight all. Sandy

I turn 60 in June and I am heartbroken over that fact, because I'm told I don't look my age at all. I will use all the incentives of this board to help me with my goal. I love tuning in every day. Let's get to it!!
