Okay, It's been eight weeks since I decided to join this weight loss kick y'all are suppose to be on. I decided a pound a week was quite reasonable and did well for the first few weeks. Then Linda came for a visit with cookies and fudge. That was followed by a trip to New York with John. And finally Dad spent a week at my house. If I stay home and refrain from having company, I easily lose the pound for that week, but those other times I fall off the band wagon with a loud thunk!
Final result is a loss of 4 pounds. I'm hoping to lose 20 pounds in the next 5 months, so nothing personal but you'll have to plan any visits to my house for 2009!
Is anyone else even riding in this wagon with me? Have y'all abandoned me? Are you still hanging out at Sonic? Are you so skinny you can't stop admiring yourself in the mirror long enough to add a post?

I've gained back four of the five that I lost originally.... depressing....
The Wii Fit now sits in the living room gathering dust..... depressing.
However, I am in the process of stripping my closet of things that are too small and things that are old (don't say it, Mom).
Jayma said, "But, Mom, what if you lose weight after you throw out the smaller stuff?" I replied, "I guess I would have to buy new clothes....Oh Dear! What a horrible problem!"
My first few weeks in New York were a delight! I realized I could consume whatever I wanted without consequences because I'm forced to walk everywhere. I haven't had abs in a couple years, and it seemed it would take a lot more than the walking to regain them, but I was able to keep the lovehandles at a minimum. However, I've found shortcuts and gotten better aquainted with the subway system, therefore my walking isn't as extensive. Plus, my employers are a bad influence. They've turned me into a 2-beers-per-night consumer, whereas I was a weekend drinker in the past. So - my lovehandles are spilling over again and sometimes, I could pass for a skinny-pregnant well into her 3rd month.
I'm officially joining this 25% off and then some endeavor. Starting NOW!
Goal: 5 pounds by next month. Abs by Christmas.
Okay, I still want to be a part of the 25% and then some club. I really WANT to lose. It's just not as easy as a nuclear war. I too, am greatly influenced by the terrible eating habits of family members. It's just so wrong! To have such little self control. But, it's all my sisters' faults that I can't seem to stick with it.
Erin & I walked tonight in the 97 degree night air @ 9 p.m. It was awful! All that sweat. Ug. I do have some creamy chocolate slim fast shakes sitting in my fridge though.
So, Karen, yes, some of us are still trying. (at least in my half wit mind I am.)
Also, Karen, that's a big 10-4 on the hanging out at Sonic!!!!!!
Route 44 vanilla diet coke, baby!
I've gotten back on my routine and successfully lost the three pounds I put on while Dad was here. That's a total of 7 pounds lost!
I am refraining from stopping at Sonic for a Route 44, but still partaking of rootbeer and snickers at Mom & Phil's house. Austin spends the night several times a week with them, so I'm going to have to work on my self-discipline if I want to lose more weight. I'm still thinking about the need to exercise, but haven't gotten beyond that step. John will start classes at MTSU on the 25th and that will enable me to use the University fitness center. Maybe...
Yea, Karen!!!!! Way to go!! I'm so impressed.
I'm still working on losing the 5 pounds that keep coming and going. Maybe I'll go get on the treadmill....
