Hey Liz

Glad to hear you are feeling better. You are a bundle of energy there girl!

Its so fun to try stuff on from the closet that was tight or didn't fit before. I don't have much of that as this is the smallest I've been in many years. I did have a couple of things I bought too small in the hopes of fitting into it some day and now I do. My major problem is finding bottoms...skirts, shorts, jeans. I have a few things I just love, but they are way too big. Those I will get altered but the rest of the stuff is going. I'm just waiting for my daughter to clean out her closet so I only have to make one trip with it over to charity.

I'm sure when you weigh and measure you will be pleasantly surprised. I'm trying to break the scale obsession myself. I still weigh every morning. Its a control issue for me more than anything. I don't want to let it lapse and step on it next week and see a big gain, then I would have to figure out how it happened...this way its easier for me to keep a handle on it if I weigh daily...does that make sense?

Take care

There you go Ten-Last week you lost 1.5 and I lost 0! Kind of like a dance isn't it?

It certainly is! It reminds me of an old Irish Song called Lanigans Ball. The lyrics are 'she stepped in and he stepped out again, he stepped in and she stepped out again......' But dancing is a form of exercise isn't it? So it has to be good!!

Hi, guys!

Just breezing through... I've had little computer time today and will have even less tommorow, so I'm not up on posts. Just wanted to report that today was my weekly weigh in day for the challenge, and I had no change.

Time for me to heed my own words and not get bent over it. I can do that.

As soon as I get some time, I will get caught up here. Carry on, fellow challengers!

I'm right here with you mitz, we can hang on together.
