Survey says.... 7 inches! Personally I find that more impressive than the poundage. 7 inches of blubber gone but I'm still quite a ways away from fitting into my skinny jeans. Heading the right direction tho!
Now that's motivation to keep going!!!
Later!
:yelclap: :flowersfo :innerconf :monkeydance: :roll Awesome! Totally Awesome! Good for you, I am sooooo happy for you!!!
Hey Steph, Zoe & muffie, I have been on -again, off-again with the dieting too. Aaargh! I did awesome yesterday until in-between class last night and ended up having a cheeseburger for supper. Oops. Well, I am trying this again today, at least I am doing good with the water thing - have already drank half my minimum this morning. I am heating up some broccoli with cheese for lunch. :)
Hey Tweety - hope all is well and stress is minimal.
You lower your stress, thereby lowering your cortisol and increasing your immune system--and not being sick will make it easier to eat a wide variety of healthy foods. Lots of bang for your buck, there You've probably lost a couple of belly inches already

Hmm - I think I need a kitty (LOL - much as I love them, I am very allergic and it just doesn't work).

No, you don't need a kitty . . .we got one last Fall and she has managed to shred and rip her way through the house - not to mention biting my son a number of times and scratching his face. She also bites me. She gets up on the table to eat food. Plus, she is the first indoor cat we've had and I hate litter boxes . . . . my kitty doesn't lower my cortisol . . . . she raises it!
I am unfortunately off the wagon with the carbs -- kinda blue the last few days (which came first?) I will get back to it I'm sure but ... sigh... I get discouraged starting over and over and over again ...
:kiss :icon_hug: It sucks sometimes. Maybe just think of it as taking a rest from the diet than having to start over again. Anyway, we still love you :)

Mine does too, I hate to say, what an awful mommy ... but I think it's just that she is so lonely after her "sister" died last year - she looks at me with that mournful "how can you not want me in your face every minute" look... sigh...
I'm a bad girl . . . . . . .
