twoxovr, I can see the half hour infomercial on this already, you will be in some very tastefully quilted leotards with your husband wearing matching ones. Will open with both of you standing behind a couple of Featherweights, smiling, healthy and happy with piles of material behind you. THen you will start "organizing" the stash, wrapping it and setting out neatly in the cupboards. Yep, sounds like a diet and exercise program I could get into. All to the tunes of the 60's and 70's or maybe some old time gospel tunes. And congratulations on your success.

Yeah when I am working DH asks when are we eating. I know it is because he doesn't want to cook for himself it is up to me to cook or we go to the restaurant. Need to quit doing that as it is not helping me to be eating so late at nite.
I am going to check out a lapband info meeting this month in Minot. I have 150 to go and can not walk to get rid of it as I have knees that are bone on bone. I also am trying to get appt with ortho dr in Bismarck as my kids tell me not to do in Minot as the ones in Minot have a #'s deal going to get so many done in a day regardless of what is being done.
I forgot to tell you CONGRATULATIONS on both your achievements and keep up the good work. You are an inspiration to the rest of us to get going and get er done.

Great job on both efforts, losing weight and organizing. The not shopping is a hard one. Just last week I went to the fabric store to buy a piece for my next quilt, I have all but the border and back. Well, they didn't have what I wanted, soooooooooooo I bought a couple of yards of lavender that I MIGHT use for a quilt that needs 6 colors. What an addiction, I have to learn to walk in a fabric shop and walk out without buying if they don't have what I went in for. Anyway, Please keep us posted on how you are doing on the weight and organization. God Bless

Congratulations on your loss! And on the gain of energy! I'm still trying the hard way. You may find that show cubbies are the solution for your fat quarters - a lot of quilters use them. Now get busy SEWING!

You are awesome - taking charge of your health and re-found your love of crafting. I too carry too many pounds for comfort but find when I am quilting I eat less and drink more water. Just recently I had a dental emergency I gave up soda - okay I have had a few sips - for the most part just don't want it. Best wishes and you go girl!
