This last month I've lost 9 pounds, so far. I'm hoping to be the winner because my daughter is having another baby in February. I want to make her a new diaper bag with the FQs. (counting my chickens before they hatch!)
I love this group. Motivating and caring.

For Gwyn and Mary Jane, Carrie did start a thread for making a weight loss quilt http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-68430-1.htm. You won't see any of my blocks there, since I haven't lost a pound since we started it, GRRR. Actually for December I gained a pound. Sigh

Just got word yesterday that my mom will be passing in the next couple of days and my sister & I will be down with her until she does & then the funeral and all. I am sure I won't be able to stick to a diet as we will be eating out all the time. I guess I will start in Jan, will give me something to look forward to.

Oh, I would lose 30-50 lbs and gain it back plus some more........I know!! How can I be so unhealthy and I am a nurse. I hate the E word with a passion so guess I will have to start walking. I am sure hoping you all can help me do this. I know, I have to do it myself just need that push. Lynne
I had 60 and lost 30 since I started this challenge. I want to lose it slow to keep it off.
If you hate to exercise you should try pilates IT WORKS.......... shapes and tones however you don't sweat.

Women's jeans are cut wider at the hips. Try buying from the men's dept. They tend to do more of a straight leg. I buy men's jeans from Costco, they are cheap, well made and you can buy by the waist and inseam measurement (much like Levi's). I wish women's pants sold by waist and inseam.
