Congratulations! Yesterday was my one year! Go us, you have done wonderfully.

Thanks all!!  One thing that has worked for me is I weigh myself every morning, I know they say not to but it keeps me in line. I know my motoviaton now is clothes. I am a size 8/10 now and use to be 22/24 so that there keeps me going. I love shopping who knew!! I am in love with Ricki's and have lost so much now that I cant wear my hubbys clothes (200 lbs) but thats a good thing.

One thing I dont like so much is when we go out to eat or even eat at home , I dont eat enough to justify going places or eating things just I like. Most of the time out I will eat of their plates, hubby and my two boys.

One thing I hate is asking them what they want to eat and get I dont know LOL, I eat so little that I guess I cater to their tastebuds LOL. I do eat pretty much everything I use my 1/2 cup container for things other than meat. I can mostly eyeball meat and get just the right amount.

Another thing I hate is people asking me how do you feel, you must feel great now that you weigh less and so forth. I guess for me I dont feel any different, I never let my weight stop me from doing anything before, I did it all so for me its not a very different feeling. I guess if you let your weight stop you from doing things then maybe you would feel different.

Lastly I am not a fan of the icile fingers, most of the time I chase my boys around trying to find a warm back or belly. LOL I do find though to help with that is i have a little bite of something fat, be a cookie, a few chips or even a valentine chocolate and about half hour later I am warmed up. Its a neat trick but works for me. The house will be at  25 and I'm still freezing and the rest of the people are hot. LOL

There are a few words of advice and it must be working or I would not be where I am today :)

 Wow!!! Amazing! You rocked your sleeve :)
