Well, it is the end of the year. I’ve weighed myself for the final time of 2009. Most of my reaction to having done that is one of pride and a true sense of accomplishment.
On August 3rd, I weighed 268 and this morning I weighed 225, for a net loss of 43 pounds. [...]
Like I mentioned, I got the Wii EA Active game for Christmas. This morning I did my first workout in the 30-day challenge and I chose medium intensity as the setting. I didn’t want to appear wimpy by going with the low-intensity but assumed I’d be near dead if I started with the [...]
Merry Christmas everyone! I had a great Christmas. Among the many wonderful things I received were some items that will help me quite a bit with my weight loss efforts. (Thank you to Santa and the family members that lovingly thought of me and my goals!)
A 12qt soup pot that I can [...]
I stopped a moment to reflect today on the number of times I had lost weight in the past only to regain most of it back at some point in the future.
This time, I feel like the weight loss will be permanent. My attitude is so much different than it has been in the [...]

I’ve just resolved not to be perfect over the holidays, and it’s not something I’m going to beat myself up about either! Last week I had already met the five pound December goal I had. (Granted, I put a pound back on since then so I have to commit to losing it again [...]
This time of year is a killer. All the sweets, especially those given as gifts…It’s hard to refuse!
Something unusual happened earlier this week, and to an extent it carried over through today. Two days ago, I had a wonderfully uplifting conversation with my husband. Without going into lots of detail, let me [...]
Continue reading about in a little bit of a rut, and not sure why
We have a great-aunt on my husband’s dad’s side that I have never met and that my husband only met once when he was in elementary school. When my father-in-law passed away a couple of years ago, we wanted to start a relationship with her. We exchanged a few letters and talked about [...]
I attended yet another Christmas gathering yesterday and managed to come away even losing a pound! 45 down, 55 to go! Again, I started with veggies from the relish tray and tried to do good from there.
One of my weaknesses is mashed potatoes and the variety that was served included goats milk, cream, [...]
Continue reading about another holiday meal, another situation averted
I was recently made aware of more family members than I knew of that are currently trying to lose weight like me. I guess one benefit of putting my weight and weight loss goals in my Christmas letter this year is the feedback I’m getting that others are battling the same issues as me! [...]
