Wow! That is amazing. Losing weight seems so simple doesn't it. And I still can't do it. No, I take it back....I CAN DO IT...but I am sure having a though time with it.
Thanks for the pictures, that's just what I needed.

Morning all! I can't believe I haven't been on the new thread yet! Dennise, I'm doing my love project homework but haven't written it down yet. I do love myself so I know I can come up with something I just don't love my body image... Which unfortunetly tends to leek in to everything else at times. Tiffany~ I'm sorry things have been so hard lately. I like the kickboxing idea

I actually took Gumbo dog on a bike ride yesterday. It was so nice out I couldn't resist. Yay me!

I have a question about cheese. Weird yes, but I've been craving cheese something major. It this crazy?? How much cheese is bad for you? I know it can be fattening but oh it's been calling my name!

Strange you should ask..... Today at 1:00 is my first day at the Cottage Grove Community Hospital front desk! and I'm not even nervous. I volunteered after a sermon about 'give and ye shall receive' instead of always asking for something for ourselves... and since John was out of work for so long, I took it to be about me. So instead of praying for a job for either of us, I just pulled on my big girl panties (I guess you could say my 'holy panties' lol Anyway, I think you know the story, right after I signed up for the volunteer program at the hospital, he got a job! That's why I'm not nervous about it. It's a blessing that I have this opportunity. (normally I'd be scared spitless) I will be at the admitting desk every Monday from 1 to 5. John said when his new boss asked what his wife does, he was so proud to say I was a hospital volunteer! I love that man. He always makes me feel good about myself. I'll keep you posted on 'my life as a hospital volunteer lady' from time to time. (actually, you'll probably get tired of hearing about it.

I love Laughing Cow cheese wedges. Only 35 cals in the light variety. or 1 point, if that's the way you do it. Also parmesan cheese, a little sprinkle isn't too bad. Also Kraft makes NO FAT singles, sharp and american....They are great, melt really well and taste exactly like the full fat variety. (John doesn't know the difference, poor guy doesn't know what he's eating half the time) lol

ps....don't you guys think that lady who lost 145 pounds looks a lot like Julie? See, that's what you will be like Julie. Just keep walking and eat less.....sounds so simple.
