It's been a month since I began and I am down 12 pounds. It felt so good last week when someone asked where my butt went! :-)
2. I am down a size in jeans
3. I can say no to offered treats without complaining that I really want them because now that I am seeing the difference I want to keep it going.
4. My wedding ring is loose
5. Took kids through drive thru but didn't get anything for me
6. Saying no to my Starbucks caramel macchiato

Ain't that the truth?
Not having to shop in the plus size section anymore. Went from size 24 to 12.
Dressing like a gym bunny and not feeling out of place in a gym.
Keeping up with the perfect looking chick on the elliptical.

Awesome guys!!

I think my NUMBER ONE NSV is quitting smoking!! I'm on day number 7!!

I haven't eaten fast food in over a year.

I haven't sprained my ankles in over a year! (This used to be a BIG problem!)

I'm in better shape than anyone I know!

Being able to walk into a non-plus size clothes store and not getting strange looks from the people who work there!

Being able to say no to any food that I know is not good for me!

Loving salad.

I can sing so much better- I have more power in my voice and can hold notes longer!

And so what if I'm married....I LOVE being flirted with and the attention!!

KNOWING that I look DAMN good!

Perky breasts!

Sharing clothes with my girlfriends!

Enjoying exercise!
