I went to tops and lost 55 pounds but gained 30 back so I'm back at it again. I think not working is part of the reason I gained it back. I have a whole closet full of clothes that would fit me if I lost 20 pounds. I also have new shorts that would fit too. When is spring coming. I buy to much fabric, clothes, food, and other things I don't need. What is this thing that people need to buy what they don't need. I'm going to try and fix it .

I wear a size 20-22 depending on the make of the pant... I'm hoping to get to an 18 soon... and then the goal is to get to a size 12... But I'm working on one size at a time...

On a good note... the Jeans I bought in the fall last year are a little looser on me... and I just took them out of the drier!!!

I'm still exercising on a trampoline and increasing in small increments! Keeping food journal which helps a lot, as I know how many calories I'm getting a day. On track and feeling good about myself. Hoping for a good weight loss on Monday to "weigh in" with!!

Wowee! I am so impressed and amazed at the progress you have all made. From 1/2 a pound to 80 pounds, either way it is progress. Keep up the good work.

DH and I weigh in tonight. I'll report the results tomorrow.

Thank you for the encouragement. Today I weighed in at 277.5, down another 1.5 lbs. This is very, very good. Today is my "not exercise" day. But I am up and moving, another good thing.

Everybody! Mush! I want to see you lift those arms and legs, get that heart muscle pumping! Now drink a BIG glass of water!

Good job! You can do it! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Today I shall get my excerise by do a huge sink load of dishes, cleaning the counters, and mopping the floor! Since it will be rigorous house work, i can burn up to 600 - 800 calories... if i work on it for at least two hours...

That will burn off the Taquitos that I am eating and possibly that donut from two hours ago...

Please count me in also! I quit smoking almost 2 years ago, and still haven't been able to get rid of those extra pounds!
I am 37 pounds over weight according to those "insurance" guildline charts-

I still like to just think of myself as "big boned" like my mom always said!!!

I am going to try my darnedst though!!

Depressing thought....I use to teach aerobics!!! yeeesh!
