Dammit! Get Me Started!

New Photo Album Additions

I apologize for these taking a while to appear.  Life on this end tends to get uppity and take over from time to time.  :O)

  

From Dorothy:  This was taken in Sept '07 when Dave and I took a weekend get-a-way to Corpus. I'm guessing I wzas around 225#'s here.  I've already posted a current picture ( after a year on weight watchers).  About 30#'s to go.

And Shawn has sent in an update!

According to my scale, I am 16-17 lbs lighter than I was right before the walk (Breast Cancer 3 Day) when I weighed 233.  I am down to 216.  The other pictures are just for comparison.  The shirt I am wearing WAS tight especially around my middle and now it isn't.

GREAT JOB, SHAWN!!!

And from Tina in WI...

Dorothy nagged, so here they are. These pictures are from Christmas a year ago, but my weight hasn't changed. My hair is longer, but that's it. (The baby is my niece)

My weight hasn't really changed in about 5 years. I want to lose 10 pounds by Easter, 20 pounds by the fourth of July, and 40 pounds by Christmas.

Now I'm off to the exerise bike so I can make some progress!

 

 

Tip O' The Day: Adding To Subtract

  May sound counterintuitive, but if you add the right things to your new eating regime, you'll actually assist in subtracting pounds!

Up your water intake.  Drink a full glass BEFORE every meal.

Add fruit and veggies.  They take up space on your plate and in your stomach, are GOOD FOR YOU, and the added fiber keeps you full longer.  Don't just have them as a side.  Incorporate them into the actual dish - be it a stir fry, some pasta, risotto, or even layered on a sandwich.

Low-fat or non-fat yogut - this is my favorite afternoon snack and packs a calcium/protein punch.  Yoplait has a bajillion favors with only 100 calories, and no fat.  Try Boston Cream Pie, Pineapple Upside Down Cake, or Lemon Cream Pie!
