Week one gone and I am down 6.7 lbs!!

WOOO HOOOO!!!

This week, #8, has been a milestone week...
Unca has been good enough to induct me into the Twenty Pound Club and today is Half-Way Day!
I've sent a new picture along, Unca (bless his :heart:) will have it up soon I'm sure.




Many thanks to those who have extended a helping hand along the way-
Happy Saturday to all & keep shakin'!

You have given me some great advice in the past on off-diet topics, so...

We are building a house...it is a modern, contemporary style and will have that look on the interior...sleek and uncluttered, etc.

My problem is that we need to start painting in a few days and I can't decide on colors!!! At first we were going to paint everything off-white and accent with color. But, once we got the drywall done and ...

I was checking out some info on Denver/Boulder area. I kinda want to move somewhere a bit cooler. My bestfriend wants to move to Dallas, but they are hot AND humid!

I was looking at the real estate market a bit and it looks good, a lot better than AZ. How is the weather, is it humid? How bad are the winters? School systems? Job market? Any areas to stay clear from? Any info on ...

After 2 weeks

AFTER 2 WEEKS I HAVE LOST 8LBS. I WISH IT WAS MORE BUT I AM ONLY 5'0"AND NEED TO LOSE ABOUT 30-35MORE. IT IS GREAT TO TRY ON PANTS THAT WERE REALLY TIGHT LAST MONTH AND NOW FEEL GREAT. MY HUSBAND SAW ME WALKING AT A DISTANCE AND SAID HE HAD TO DO A DOUBLE TAKE BECAUSE I ALREADY LOOK DIFFERENT. I WENT OUT TO EAT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND MAY HAVE HAD A ...

Ok today was great because I am officially in the 20 pound club.

HOWEVER....

I was horrified to discover I am developing spider veins on my thighs. They are faint but they are there. I hardly ever look at my thighs (they disgust me) but I was so happy with my weight loss that I did a full examination of my body and...

I found the spider veins. Ugh. Is there a way to get ...

Thanks to a nice visit with Nancy this morning and then this afternoon getting to meet Eddie (from Houston) I decided it is time to get with the program! I've been "lurking" for a very long time. I miss this family and know coming here AND participating makes reaching our goals much easier than doing it alone.

It's great to see all the new "losers" and still see familiar ones, too. Everyone is so inspiring ...

i've noticed something alarming-- not just on this board but on others (as well as in "real life"). all of us here know how destructie the wrong food choices are. we know how addictive it is. we are all more aware of how horribly bad for us fast food is.

so why do people in the middle of losing weight keep giving their kids access to fast food? seriously. would we say, here's some bullets, ...
