'Morning, all. Carrie, when I see the colors in your quilt as I find the thread, it inspires me to work on mine. Today I will cut several hundred 2 1/2" squares in a soft peach blender. Thank goodness for the JT Shape Cut. That will put me one step closer to sewing my 26 blocks (2 for each of my 13 pounds lost). I will also eat well so I can "earn" the other 23 blocks. Sounds like a plan. Anyone else?
Ate well yesterday, if you consider my weekly Caramel MooLatte part of a diet plan. Thank goodness that was my last coupon for one and I won't pay full price. I drank coffee at home black. That's a first in years. One way to cut calories and the cut the fructose that contributes to chubby tummies. Love those flavored creamers, but don't like fructose. Sugar is fine.

I lost the .8 pound I gained on vacation so that's good. I am still about 2.5 pounds up from my lowest weight since I began this thread. I am down almost 15 with 15 to go. I will be pulling out my fabric and starting up again soon.
Summer makes me want to eat lighter with salads and fresh veggies. I picked up lots of fresh stuff to clean and have on hand for easy meals and snacking.

Hello everyone. I haven't posted for awhile. But today I think I need to. I am up 3 pounds and that is not acceptable.
So next week I will be back and tell you how much I have lost.
Thanks for listening.

Nana its ok. Don't be so hard on yourself. Unfortunately losing weight is a yoyo process. Sometimes it is down and then it's up again. All we can do is hope and pray and work hard to try and get it stay down.

Hello! I saw this thread & read a few pages a few weeks ago. I decided I would join, but I always feel compelled to read the whole thing before I jump in. :roll: :roll:
Total goal: 164
Down: 31 (since mid January)
Guess I better get cracking on some decisions for fabric & blocks!
:thumbup: :thumbup: You are all doing amazingly!

I don't know if anyone is listening but I need help! I started this journey at 170 pounds. I got down to 153.? and now I am back up to 158.6. I need to get back on track! I really have to start working my program again. Going to the cabin with my in-laws this week end but that's no excuse to not eat better today! Is anyone interestd in working with a pal to keep each other on track?
