I want to thank everyone who has read and commented on this blog. Without all of the support and encouragement of you guys, I don’t think I would’ve been as successful as I have.
Since I’ve embarked on this weight loss journey on my own, without the benefit of a “group setting” that something like [...]

More shopping

I went shopping for a dress for CTLB’s wedding and found the cutest dress (and a few other “essentials”).
Even though I haven’t lost as much as I’d hoped I would have by now (I was hoping for 80 pounds), I have to say, this weight loss has been great for my self esteem. True, [...]

Wow, this week flew by! When I woke up this morning, I couldn’t believe it was already time to weigh-in again. I feel like I just weighed in two days ago.
Today’s weigh-in was another good one. I lost 1.8 pounds, for a total of 48.6 pounds gone! I’m very pleased with this steady progress, [...]

Goal: My goal is to lose 140 pounds, and I’m hoping to lose a large percentage of that by August 2008, in time for CTLB’s wedding in Connecticut.

It’s strange, but I was really looking forward to today’s weigh-in. Maybe avoiding the scale last week made me stick to my diet even more closely than usual? Whatever it was, it was a great feeling to be excited to get on the scale.
This week I’m down 5.1 pounds for a total of [...]

Lately I’ve been feeling so happy, so content, so proud. It’s all due to my weight loss and finally feeling like I’m me again. I was discussing this with BFF and DRMK this weekend, and I realized that this is the first time in over 5 years that I’ve weighed this little. (Not [...]
Heavenly Honey Dijon Mustard
Posted in cooking, healthy choices on July 13, 2008 | 1 Comment »
This cooking idea came from DRMK, who has become a really great cook. DRMK told me that the last time she made turkey burgers, she added a couple of squirts of honey dijon mustard, and that they turned out so well.
The next day, I decided to grill some boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I [...]

My friends and family are really supportive of my weight loss efforts. They all know how hard I’ve been working and how much success means to me. I’m really lucky to have such great people on my side, cheering me on every step of the way.
BFF is no different. For my birthday this year she [...]
A two-shopping-bags-full trip

Saturday I used the money that my parents gave me for my birthday gift and bought a bunch of new clothes at Lane Bryant. Oh, how I look forward to the day when I don’t have to shop at that store anymore! Not that they are all that awful, but it’s just the idea of [...]
