Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD  CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period!!

Do you have any WOW's that keep repeating themselves and you wonder if you will ever get used to it?  I love the Jones of NY shorts so I bought some new ones on sale at the end of last summer.  I didn't try them on before buying them because I was determined that I wasn't going to change sizes.  This morning I took a pair out of the closet and also a shirt that I had bought without trying on and they fit so good I wanted to cry.  Before WLS I had to try everything on because I didn't like to wear things tight.  If I found something that I thought fit good then I bought it in every color/print.  It's so nice to have variety hanging in my closet.

Sometimes when you change your eating plan the pounds stick for awhile before they drop off.  It's probably better to stay stable so you don't gain when you go back to your normal menu.

Sounds Good!

Anne, I agree with the energy / not tired comment.   I went to the woods mushrooming a few times this week and can climb the hills without feeling like passing out.  Still get winded (super steep) but nothing like at 250#s.    I have only found 3 moral mushrooms so far, I think it is just starting the season.  :)  Morals=yummy

Sounds Good!
