Month 5!

Well..here we sit in month 5. Mine will be the 24th but I am down 86 lbs so far. With about  50 more to go give or take. I feel great. I am able to do more stuff for longer and sleep better. I am now showing some bones and everyone I see tells me how great I am looking. Its an odd feeling that is actually hard to get used to for me.

I have not had any 'problems" though I do get stuff stuck now and then when I eat to fast.

Sugar is tricky for me, though I don't stay away from it as a rule, I do stay away from anything in concentrate such as desserts and drinks with the exception of an occasional andies mint. It gives me a quick fix with out feeling too guilty later.

Mine is the 27th!  I am hoping to go down another 10 pounds by then.  I really want to hit 100 pounds lost!  I have been battling the Christmas cookies.  So far I have resisted.  I thought about getting them out of the house but now it is a battle of will power!  I am stronger than a cookie!

You are stronger than the cookie! I am sitting at 87 lbs lost right now. I hope to have 100 by the end of Jan that would put me 6 months out. My hubby and I are renewing our vows in July next year and I hope to be at goal before then. I have about 45 more lbs to go to be at my personal goal. The chart says 125 but I would be very, very happy to be sitting at 145. That is below what I was even before my husband and I met and I was 17 at that time! 

I have not had too much trouble with holiday stuff for now, but we are hosting a big party on the 16th and I shall see where I end up. Luckily, too much sugar makes me not feel good. I have not dumped, I just don't feel right, so I stay away from it for the most part. I feel pretty good about things right now. I hope you make it through the holidays with out too much temptation~
