$2 not bad! Everything more expensive in Canada! LOL

I haven't weighed myself in awhile. My husband asked if I had gained weight since being home...I dunno...my daughter asked me last night if I had lost weight cause i looked skinnier...will have to check.

HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A southwest Michigan woman who weighed 310 pounds before trimming down to 149 will tell her weight-loss story to Rachael Ray.
Thirty-two-year-old Julie DeVisser is scheduled to appear Tuesday on Ray's TV talk show.
DeVisser lives in Ottawa County's Holland Township and works as an operations manager for an investment management firm.
The Holland Sentinel reports that she started trying to lose weight in 2005. Her motivation intensified after her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer because obesity is a risk factor for the disease.
DeVisser tells The Grand Rapids Press that she lost the 161 pounds after joining Weight Watchers. She says she not only feels better now but also interacts more with people and enjoys trying new activities.

I'm game for a little competition, though I don't think I stand a chance of winning since I only need to lose about 10 pounds. I've always been fairly thin, but when I started driving, I did gain a little weight. Lately I've been holding steady at 140, but ideally I should be more like 130. I'm just not managing to kick my own butt into losing any weight. Maybe what I need is someone else kicking my butt lol.

P.S. Crabby's girl; don't feel bad about one lackluster workout. We all have energy ups and downs, even if we are workout regulars. The important thing is that you did something, and your energy level will return in a day or two and then you'll have another great workout.

Hell thats right 1, this last week I haven't been able to crack a set of 50 pushups. I can usually do around 120 before my arms start to feel it some.... I hate being sick and finally brokedown and bought a light rainjacket/windbreaker tonight.

I used slim fast when I was pregnant, but I used the powder kind where you added juice to it and ice. I always made them like a slushy. The Dr recommended them so the baby would get all of the vitamins and minerals it needed.

I also agree with the one where you should cheat a little bit on your diet, because if you take all of the foods you love away you will most likely cheat big time or go off the diet completely. Since being diabetic I had to stop eating all sweets. I keep telling my family that one day I am going to lose it and they will find me sitting on the candy isle of the grocery store eating candy like a mad woman. I also quit drinking drinks. The other day I had my grandsons Mtn Dew in my hand and my water. I accidentally took a drink of his drink. Now I wonder why I ever liked it. It was so sweet it almost made me sick.
I don't have a scales to weigh myself, but I can see the weight going away. I can now see my hip bones, I haven't seen them since 1987 when I was pregnant with my second child. My 14 year old daughter and 10 year old grandaughter get mad at me because I steal clothes out of their room. Both of them wear size 14 or 16 and I am in 11/12/13.
The weight loss has done nothing for my sugar or my back. My sugar still goes up and down likie a roller coaster for no apparent reason. The Dr said if I lost weight my back wouldn't hurt. Well he was wrong, because right now it is killing me and starting to run down my leg again.
