Hello Misty! Jen, Sheryl and whoever else is reading..
Well I was able to change my ticker this morning down five pounds! whoot whoot!!
I guess this is the encouragement SunnyDee was speaking about ..
I have been very discouraged with the recent weight gain, but I have been working really hard not to dip my fingers into and on any food I shouldnt be and at all times of the day. Trying to control my eating habits. Reintroduced sweet potatos instead of white ..good stuff!
the diabetic diet says I can eat Sweet potato... so I am thrilled ..its better than White Potato anyway and helps with cholesterol and weight loss... so thats good ..
anyway ..so five pounds less and I am also fitting in a tank top I have not been able to fit in for two summers... this summer and last summer ..two years actually ... I ended up growing out of it three summers ago.. Its the nicest, fanciest tank top, perfect for this weather I am recieving. Going to wear it tomorrow. Going out with my bf on a walk and I plan to wear it. Wore jeans today! WOW the cold has hit somewhat .. I was freezing in my shorts, had to change.. yikes ..and as a matter of fact ..the size 24 pants fit ..didn't go back up into a size 26 ..losing one again and I can tell by my clothes and these jeans are from four years ago ...
I hopefully will be lose in a 24 by Christmas ..I plan on doing a lot of bundled up walking during winter ... I love walking during winter and seeing all the snow .. I have walked the morning after a blizzard and it was so magnificent ...the snow just was blanketing everything ..its was absolutely beautiful ..and I plan to enjoy my winter this time ..once again!
So I do have the money to join a gym, but I am going to try really hard to keep up with my walking during winter ... and I plan to be skiing with my bf by next season...not this skii season coming up ...but by next season ...
so cheers to skiing!!
Anyway ... I better start getting to some diaries ..I will get to all of your with time this week ..no worries there ..and the replies in my diary will be coming
thanks lovies

Heya Nat,
You're going to really enjoy the gym- first time is a bit intimidating for a lot of people, but really, you'll love it. It's one of those places you feel positive when you know you're doing something good for yourself. Plus, I think you'll really get the weight off!!
Let us know how it goes!!!
Love,
Misty

...grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference...
It sucks that in life so many of the bad things overshadow the good things that are happening to us. Yes a weight gain is a setback but you can use it as an opportunity or a reminder of the actions you're taking that aren't benefiting not only your weight loss, but your emotional self as well. Every day is a new beginning, hell every hour or minute can be a new opportunity to make a change for the better.
We're all here to support you; we all have our ups and downs. We only get one shot at this life so each step we take has to be a step forward. Make up your mind to make those steps. We’ll all walk this road together and be stronger people for it. So chin up girlie (I find that helps make my neck look long and slim) we know you can do it!
Sending you lots of love and some motivational kicks in the rear...
Thanks Cat for the Motivation kicks in the rear! IT worked, thanks!

Thanks Sarah,
I would hope, but I have only been a size twenty four for a few months. And I have been a size twenty four for years, than I went up to a 26/28, but was up there for the past year. So I will most likely be a size twenty four until next summer when I hope I will be 250 pounds
thanks Sarah

he just came back from a 500 mile bike ride.. his knee is killing him ..
he has to go to a sports therapist. Got him to walk with me today, but he doesnt want to go again lmao ..he wont even sit in the car with me driving to go to the shops. lol of course he would have to walk around with me ..lmao
We might go to the movies next week...that would be something very different for us!

Ok girls...
So I have lost another two pounds, which makes it seven pounds. One more pound to go and I will be back where I was a month or two ago and fighting to get down further ..
Thanks so much to all of you for believing in me, because I didn't believe in myself. And sometimes I still don't .. I feel akward and sometimes I feel good in this new body that is starting to shape up ..my tummy has gone down in size ..which is always nice... seeing as most of my fat goes on my tummy or my butt ...but I am most scared of the tummy getting bigger ..lmao
but anyway ..feeling good and hyped up .. in November I am joining planet Fitness ..my bf and I will be going on on Saturdays and Sundays twice a month ..and I will be going to the gym myself during the week .. I know I can do this ..and I look forward to reading your diaries as well as mine ...
love yas always

What's cracking, hot stuff? So I have a bone to pick with you little lady... let's stop with all this "diet" talk, ok? "Diet" sounds so temporary, right?
We're going to go with "lifestyle change," little mama. Ok? Well now that I have that out of the way.....Congrats with the 7lbs down!!
Never doubt yourself, NJ. You're doing fantastic. Once again: slow and easy wins the race. Take care of yourself, NJ girl.
