So, I’ve managed to stay on the wagon…
Just this once, I’ve been able to ’stay on the wagon’ - so to speak - when it comes to losing weight. I’m so proud of myself. I weighed in at 250.6 yesterday. Now that .6 is a big deal to me because last week it was 251! I hope to lose another 1.6lbs by the end of this week. I did an ab workout video (only like 10 minutes of it) twice this week. My stomach hurts SOOOO bad, even when I laugh I feel like I’m going to die! lol But it’s worth it (or at least that’s what I keep telling myself).
My “skinny” jeans are fitting — I wore a size 6 in those “Right Fit” jeans from Lane Bryant/Fashion Bug/etc when I started (I think that’s like a size 22). I’m now squeezing into the size 4s (size 16/18?) I bought for $1 at a yard sale this summer. Before I began, they wouldn’t even go over my hips. I’m finally seeing the progress I’m making.
I have been eating better. Instead of getting the chocolate milkshake at Dairy Queen like I was before (once or twice a week), I bought some fat free no sugar added (UGH, ICK!) chocolate ice cream with fudge in it. It was outrageously expensive, and I literally GAGGED the first time I tasted it (I’m a little overdramatic, it wasn’t that bad!), but now I’m getting used to it. Now I make my milkshakes with skim milk and that ice cream. It gets rid of my chocolate craving (or, rather, tames it for a few hours..), and it’s only 100 calories per cup! Woo hoo!
I watched “Biggest Loser” while walking on the treadmill at the gym last night. I lasted 25 minutes which is actually a record for me. I ran for like.. eh.. 2 minutes out of 25. But whatever, at least I was walking lol. 
I LOVE walking on the incline, so I pumped it up to 15.0 (incline) and 4.5 (speed). GO ME!! I burned 300 calories!
I hope to update next week and tell you that I’ve lost at least 1.6lbs! Wish me luck, and pleeeeeeeease oh please leave any tips you may have!

I really think you’re going to be successful because you are celebrating all the steps on the way. 10 min of videos, less than one pound, aching belly muscles, smaller pants. ALL GOOD!
Have you tried the sugar free hersheys syrup? That always helped my chocolate cravings.

I’m impressed that you walk at such an incline, I get up to 3.5 and struggle to stay on the thing! LOL! Yay for gettin’ into those skinny jeans!! That’s always a big accomplishment! Congrats!
