Thanks for the tips on owning up to my weightloss. I guess I'm just so used to never really trying, never really getting anywhere, and always giving up - that I'm not familiar with this new lifestyle. Sometimes I think its just my evil twin trying to bring me down.BarbPa - your family and mother are in my thoughts, I hope the best for all of you and that you make a decision that you think is best for everyone.
Angela - if you can sell for the right amount I think its profitable. I just started selling some of my books on there. They only charge you 37(?) cents I think to put up the item (that is if you don't pay for all the pretty frilly stuff) and then they take a precentage from your total selling amount. I sold 3 books a week or two ago for a total of 8.57 and my charge from ebay was only 57 cents. So I made 8 bucks for some silly paperbacks :P I'm selling another group to see what I can get. The only thing that isn't good is when your item doesn't sell
I tried selling a dress on there twice with no luck. I like e-bay because you can do "lots" - groups of items, and you choose the shipping, the price, etc. Many other sites don't do this.Hilta- we were posting at the same time! I hope everything is okay with your other half, best wishes
I hope everyone stays OP as well!I agree with all of you on selling clothes are now too big. The problem for me is that I've always bought baggy clothes just because I'm so afraid of trying on a smaller size and having it rip or get stuck
I think I'll wait until I'm at least 299 pounds to get rid of my bigger clothes. As soon as I can fit in the pile of brand new jeans I've had for years and never fit in 
Even those were the largest size of men's jeans at k-mart I've been doing decently with working out, but snacking a lot still. I did a mile yesterday, climbed the stairs until I was tired, and did my upper body work out. I think it was good overall
I'm starting to catch the hang of working out twice even if they are just mini-workouts. This upperbody weightlifting/toning is awesome too.. it makes me feel GREAT.. I love it. I love how things in your mind, the way you think starts to change as you start to lose weight as well. I was thinking of my "male friend' coming for Spring Break and how I don't want to workout in front of him (especially since I do it in sweats and a bra
Florida is hot!) but I wouldn't want to "kick him out" while i do it.. then I thought - "Well gee, why don't I just go for walks with him or do something active with him". Made me happy to think that way So many people tell you to only lose weight for yourself and such.. but ever since I've thought about him coming I've focused SOO much more on every part of my life. It was a kick in my bootie so to speak. I focus on my body more and it's not just a "meh because I have to" its more of a "because i want to'. I see nothing wrong with letting a handsome man be your inspiration! As long as he's not the only reason.
Okay I'll stop ranting
Have a good day ladies (and gents?!) ! 
Barb, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Try to keep a positive frame of mind during your proceedure Thursday. We love you.
