Missy - your story is so inspirational, I think it is so neat that not only are you focusing on the numbers but you are able to do so much more physically.
Elm - I too have had issues with portion control, so I went to the dollar store and got some cheap baggies and soon as I buy a snack, I break it up into portion sizes. If 6 pretzels is a portion then 6 pretzels go in the bag. It has really helped me - and stops that roving hand from reaching in the bag. I also jot the WW points (or calories) down on the bag.
Today was weigh in day and a horrible stressful week, but I managed to loose 1 more pound, at least it is down and not up. If I can loose 4 more pounds then I will have lost 5% of my body weight.
Determined to do more about my weight I went to an extra water exercise class instead of the couch. So I exercised for 2.5 hours today (and it is barely noon here), I think I will do some wii with my son this afternoon also.
Great Job everyone.

Oh and I haven't mentioned this is AGES but grapes are incredible frozen. Just separate them into baggies and pop in the freezer. They are delicious in juice or tea or just plain frozen. Yummm Yummm Yummm!

Oh my gosh! My mom just took a picture of me with both my legs in one leg of my favorite pants. I have been wearing these pants for years and did not really see how big they are now until my mom told me to do that! Wow. They are HUGE and I am in shock about what I look like in them! Uh. I think it is time to not wear them anymore. *shakes head in disbelief*
Oh wow oh wow oh wow!

I am in a 30-32 right now but I WILL need those 22s soon! (I sure am working on it!) Woohoo!! Yep I am so happy to not HAVE to wear those pants. I am going to keep that pair those because I think it will be awesome to see the pictures taken in the month ahead look like!

way to go, woman!! it feels terrific to get into a smaller size, doesn't it!! even your face looks so different! you look wonderful! (oh, yeah, that's right... you ARE wonderful!) i'm going to keep on, keepin' on. this is for life! and i choose to live!
thanks, judy. i thought of doing a collar mock up 1/2 poly quilted, 1/2 cotton batting, so that's in the washer as we speak. i'll probably have to quilt, then cut out. or just 'summer quilting' with no batting. does the fleece provide alot of warmth? i have plenty of fabric left so may try a sample of that, too, if neither of these are going to do. i just want it done, as in right now! so i can see it. but i also want it to be good enough to give to someone. :-)

Praise for wt loss is a good thing.DD was here today (she lives 60 miles away) & showed her your pic & post.She's a wt loss vet,lost over 100pds with WW ,has kept it off 4 yrs & works for WW.
Wanted to share what she said....... "tell her "congrats" look how far she has come! she should be so PROUD OF HER EFFORTS!!" So there's another compliment on how good you're doing.
