This year I put 15 of them back on, and I've been really struggling to get them off again. I can't afford to do weightwatchers, and anyway, I KNOW what to do. I'm remembering the rewards in putting on those clothes I hadn't worn in years. <br /><br />You're being an inspiration pal. Thanks for that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-67052790272193806772010-09-27T11:18:28.221-04:002010-09-27T11:18:28.221-04:00That's wonderful!

We plan our meals with a rainbow-colored plate in mind.

I've struggled with my weight since about age 14, so I hear you all around. I'm glad you have a loving, supportive spouse, and the gym stuff is FABULOUS (I love step aerobics, too, but my only workout time is in pre-dawn hours, so haven't been to one in years) Today is Monday, and it is TIME for me to get back on track.Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-83335708454088014542010-09-27T02:58:57.964-04:002010-09-27T02:58:57.964-04:00Go you!

Takes perseverance to reach your goal, so if you ever start feeling weak, shoot me an email!<br /><br />I'm doing a bunch of things for myself these days. Kind of making it a spa experience while I'm still unemployed. There's elliptical, reclining bike, free weights, pool, reading, meditation (when I can quiet this mind), eating right, walking the 'hood, and of course, writing. I'd love to do some yoga, so I may add that in.<br /><br />What would make my last hurrah as an unemployed chick awesome is a week-long trip to the mountains where I could watch the leaves turn and fall. And get a long, happy back rub. Alas, that ain't about to happen. (sigh)<br /><br />Keep up the good work, girl. See ya in a couple months maybe.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />K*Fragrant Liarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452052210826471034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-20632138923778768942010-09-26T08:49:59.783-04:002010-09-26T08:49:59.783-04:00CONGRATS!!!!

I'm...Lisa, congratulations on your weight loss! I'm happy for you. It's very exciting to lose weight because it's such concrete transformation!<br /><br />Like Magdalene, I also work a 12-step program for my weight problem. Ten years ago I went from 211 pounds down to my present 130 or so and have stayed here. The most amazing miracle in all that time? I've never once wanted any of my binge foods again. No willpower, no resistance, no white knuckling. After 25 years of watching my weight climb and climb out of sight, this has been a miracle.<br /><br />And today, for me, I haven't done anything but I'm about to work on my book.

I think your willingness to share your process is brave and you are quite the role model. <br /><br />When I finish getting my MLS I am going to join the Y again because I need to lift weights to keep my muscle tone.

I stopped dieting, no longer count calories, and eat whatever foods I want. But I do it in moderation. I have an open pint of B&J Cherry Garcia in the freezer that I opened in early August. I also drink a glass of water before each meal. In the last five years, I've dropped from 330 to 280.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11397335545286040472noreply@blogger.com
