Many congratulations to all of us who are continuing on our "downward" spiral!!

I've decided that I'm not going to make a block for every pound I lose - I just don't have the time to make a block or two every week. So I have found a sampler pattern (actually it was made by someone on this board and used as her avatar - such a gorgeous quilt!!) and it has 84 blocks. That is more blocks than pounds I want to lose so..... I'm going to make the blocks in bulk as I lose mine - bulk, that is!

When I lose 10 pounds, I will make the 10 star blocks all at the same time. Then when 20 pounds are gone I will make the 20 heart blocks all at the same time, etc..

So at the end of my journey, next fall, I will pretty well have all the blocks made, ready to put together.

Wish me luck!

YOU GO GIRL!!!!! :thumbup:

I was NOT going to weigh because I have been steadily gaining now for weeks and felt that I would have too many yo-yos to make if I weighed....LOL :D But....I went ahead and got on the scale and......ok so it's not GREAT news but.......I haven't gained a bit! Hey...baby steps...LOL ;)

Here are some of my new blocks. Still trying to get caught up. I know I said i wasn't gonna make blocks for the weight loss but I changed my mind. I worked hard to lose them.

I think it is good when there is no loss as long as there is no gain. Keep it up and it will slowly start coming off.

That is a great idea.
We are all going to be so skinny by next fall.

How are you doing on your weight loss. I thought I would start this, but I get side tracked. Still haven't started. I have as much to lose as you do.
