Last week while traveling to and from Atlanta, I did not have to struggle with the seatbelts at all, just picked them up and made them click. First time in at least 4 years that this has happened.

1. At my Scott's (my fiance's) birthday last night, I had just a little slice of chocolate cake, and when everyone went for seconds, I declined. 
2. I have increased my workout time from 30 minutes to 60+ minutes (it took me a month to gradually get up there), and I feel great
3. I can wear this pair of levi's that I bought when I had only lost 10 lbs (they were my inspiration pants that I had tacked to my wall lol - size 36 waist)

Raelynn--I know all about the inspiration pants tacked to the wall. Mine are a pair of size 10 Tommys, bought them on sale this winter. They're on a hanger, I used red ribbons threaded through the belt loops and tied to the hanger to make them more attractive "wall art". I hung them in the hallway so I see them multiple times everyday. Someday I will wear them.

Yesterday my husband brought home Taco Bell which I love and usually prompts a pig out fest. I had 1 bean burrito and was done.
Been using my measuring cups faithfully on my days off to control my eating.
Getting my half hour+ movement a day! WOOOHOOOOOO!

Eating less (counting calories - writing everything down -measuring) moving more. Still not as much of either as I need to, but most days have been better than they were for a while.
Little steps ~ one day at a time.

small victories!
-I can see my cheekbones again
-I'm starting to lose my double chin-can't wait to see my jawline again
-bought pants in a smaller size, and a shirt in XL-first thing I bought in ages that wasn't a plus size : )
-I've been exercising consistently-I've never done that before in my life!

Like you, Suzie, what I've bought recently has NOT been a plus size. Can't just pick up and wear everything yet but that will come. And I have a closet (well, almost) full of clothes to look forward to trying on for spring. I've had more fun wearing clothes I had not been able to get into for a long time than looking for new ones. I was at this weight a long time on the way UP and only kept things I really liked so they're all things I'm happy to get into again. Am wearing today a pair of size 18 slacks I bought a couple of months ago (and they were still a mite snug then) and they are getting loose. Yay!

I made m&m cookies with my daughter yesterday. I ate 3 cookies for a total of 6 points. I counted them and still stayed on plan for the day.
btw, they were really good and worth it!

I just exercised for the first time in over a month (besides cleaning and painting ). Did yoga - I have an excellent DVD - Yoga for Weightloss. What's nice about it is that you can pick out of four levels of exercise. Since it's a DVD, you don't have to ff or rewind to the level you want.
Stretching is supposed to really help with fibromyalgia, so I have double motivation for getting a regular program.
Anyway, day ONE on my exercise program.
