well so 6 weeks into I've lost 9lbs just by controlling my eating (or more so my snacking outside of meals). I plan to include a walking schedule into my weight loss plan and hopefully continue the downward trend. I'll let you know how that goes.
Has anyone else had any success?

Whoot-whoot!!! for crabbygirl!!

I, myself, am unhappy to report that I gained a few pounds while on home-time for a week. It was grand-daughters first birthday, and we went out to eat ALOT...Joe's Crab Shack being the most damaging, I think!! LOL Between the restaurants, and birthday cake, and just vegging out the whole week at the pool, well, my lost weight returned..

Anyway, back on truck, and back to more healthy fare..

I have been doing what someone suggested. I turn on the music and dance around while cleaning the house. It is actually working. I also have anywhere from 8 to 10 people living in my house. Me, my husband, our 26 year old son, his wife that is 26, their 3 kids, a 11 year old daughter, 7 year old son, and 3 year old son, then our 14 year old daughter, and sometimes our 20 year old son and his 21 year old girlfriend. So I carry toys, books, and whatever else they leave laying around from one end of the house to the other end. So that is my walking on rainy days.

Hey, sweetpea, so glad my dancing suggestion is working!! That is how I got most of my exercise when my kids were small...we would all "dance-clean" the house....fun for them, AND got the job done without whining about "chores", AND helped me stay at a good weight!

well today is a new day and I plan to get some walking attire. Unfortunately even my sweat pants are too small. I'm going to get some loose yoga type pants to walk in and start my 3 mile walking regiment tomrrow.
But I may end before I even begin. I'm looking for a part time job. I don't NEED the money badly but it would really help me pay off my bills sooner. I feel like I'm making just enough to get by and I need to get rid of my debt asap.
The job I'm looking at is a 6 - 11:30pm, 4 to 5 days a week.
I hope they email back soon!

The sad part about losing weight....I have nothing that fits cause everything is too big....Can't afford a new wardrobe, so looking rather frumpy...sigh...
