Well it has been some time since I posted on here, and I have been lax in reading, however, I am getting caught up. 

My journey has been interesting,  I find that I am experimenting a little too much, which has slowed down my weight loss some.  I know what I am doing wrong, now it is time to fix it.  My sleeve lets me get away with a lot of bad things.  All things considered, I am still losing, however, slowly. 

I am also slowly going bald, LOL.  Well...maybe not so slowly, LOL!  I consider it a badge of honor, however, it means I am getting to where I need to go.  Hats are my friends these days. 

I have had a few "WOW" moments.  I can now hold a drink between my legs in the car without it shooting into the floorboard when i move.  I can wear high boots without out getting the wide kind.  I am out of the plus size clothes, as in I can wear 18, comfortably, and can buy this size in regular stores.  Hmmm...what else...all my winter jackets look like tarps on me now. 

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday, I will, cuz turkey is good for you and low cal!  Lisa

Glad to hear you are doing well. Thanks for updating us on the board. I guess since you are done "experimenting" you will buckle down and get back on track? Of course you will   LOL   Congrats on the weightloss and able to get out of plus size clothes.

Lisa,

It's so good to hear an update from you!  I laughed out loud about not holding the cup without it shooting on the floorboard.  It has been a long time since I tried doing that.  You've inspired me, I shall try this old habit again soon just for kicks!  :)

Isn't it great to get back into all the stores and not be held back by the only plus size stores?  Hooray for smaller clothes!  :)

You have a great attitude on the hair loss.  Wear those hats proud girl!

HUGs,
Lauren

  Sounds like things are going well for you. Some minor changes to your food routine may be all that you need.
