I have to get rid of shoes, dresses, skirts, blouses, sweaters, pants/jeans, pjs, and undergarments. I have already gotten rid of 3 huge wardrobe boxes and currently have 2 boxes packed and more to come. I keep telling myself it just makes room for the new things!

Dinner tonight is pork tenderloin stuffed with spinach/peppers/mushroom and onion, roasted cauliflower, southern style greens, and a summer salad with a homemade lemon/mustard/thyme dressing.

I hope everyone has a great day!
aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh is it too late for me to say, I'd like some of those clothes and some of that yummy din din!!!

Hey Frumpy - Hudson is just turning 1 on the 23rd!

I ♥ the name Hudson, what a great name for a girl - my Hudson is a crazy little boy though

I just looked at the ideal to go guidelines and apparently your not supposed to have the bars the first 2-3 weeks , do you think that will be a big difference? also can you post the link to the recipe thread I cant seem to find it but I got a bunch of cucmbers , salad and pickles but I am sure that will get old quick.

Congrats to everyone that lost and keep up the good work!

UGH - I stayed up way to late last night creating my new blog on my own domain (very excited). I'm not a computer expert so it took a lot of tweeking to figure it all out but I finally finished it at about 3 this morning!

I know there are some of you following my blog (thanks for that!) so my new blog address is www.fatkidmemoirs.com

Have a great day everyone!

You will see on this board that we weren't all given the same rules. I could have restricteds from the beginning but learned pretty quickly that if you are anxious for maximum weight loss, you have to be careful with them.
Only rule I got was no more than 1 restricted IP a day.

I'm home from vacation, had a wonderful time. Stepped on the scale this morning and looks like I've got more work to do. But...seeing all the grossly overweight people in Vegas makes me more determined than ever to be the most healthy person I can be. So...time to strap on my tennis shoes and go for a walk. Strict Phase 1 started this morning.
