I loved the good laugh too Bette Jo! Thanks!

I wanted to lose 29 pounds by Christmas, and I don't think it's healthy for me to lose that much weight by then, so I am reshooting it at 215, and if I get lower, then, I win!!!

Lmao, Bette Jo!!
Ok, I am back with a fresh resolve. Doing this not only for me but for dad, too.
He was so proud of me and I want to make him prouder.
So with that being said, I am ready to push foward.
Have a wonderful Sunday.
Congrats on all your losses, Ladies.
Danielle, just glad you weren't hurt in that accident!

Hey, I am really really really excited!!!!! I tried on a pair of size 18 straightlegged pants and they fit....perfectly!!!! I look so different in them! Its the first pair of pants I have tried on that aren't stretchy material, and aren't way too baggy. I look GOOD!!! I am so excited!

Great job Stacey!! How absolutely motivating!! Keep up the good work!!
You can and will lose that 4 pounds Danielle! They'll be gone and then some!!
Sandy, I bet you'll lose 10+ lbs before January!! You can do it!!
What a great gift for your Dad and how inspiring it is when you have him to focus on for your health and happiness Kama!!
Bette Jo what a cute pic!! We have to laugh our way through life sometimes,huh?? Have a great day ladies!!!

Oh Honey Girl! I'm excited for you. It's contagious! I am so touched to hear you say those magic words..."I look GOOD!!!" Every time you say those words they are imprinted on your brain. You are building self-confidence, doesn't it feel good? I've been feeling the same way lately. Just getting to the point that when I leave for church I look in the mirror and actually LIKE what I see. If we could bottle that feeling, WOW. What motivation. Now all we have to do is remember that feeling and use it when we need a little lift.....

Thanks Penny... I'm going to do my best. I am happy to report I had my WW Twinkie at coffee hour after church, (smuggled it in in my purse) and not one person even noticed. They were all eating cake or brownies. Just goes to show how people don't pay as much attention to us as we think.

Thanks everyone for sharing my happiness with the pants fitting! It sure was a nice treat and really made me feel like I am finally making some progress. I know I still have a long way to go but it sure was great to have such a nice surprise like that!

SANDY AND PENNY: Curious as to what the twinkie thing's about.

I have 8 more lbs. ( I am at 207, but not changing my ticker until Saturday my official weigh in day!)to go to reach my Christmas goal! I am going to do it no matter what it takes!
You are all doing so good! We will have a leaner Christmas this year!
Big HUGS!

Hi There,

I Am At Work Right Now So I Will See You All This Afternoon.
