                  Way to go HTG. Let us know how you are progressing. We seem to be on a similar time scale with simliar goals. Will keep poppin in to see all of your successes and to be inspired !!

                  Goal # 1 Reduce my waist enough so fitting into a pair of jeans will not make me feel like a sausage with a tight string cinched around my bulging waist.
                  Goal # 2 Have my thighs become less familiar with one another. I am tired of them rubbing up against each other when I walk.
                  Goal # 3 Be able to see my back without those flabby rolls under my bra line, you know I could store things in those roll creases, a book to read, small toy etc
                  Goal # 4 Run a 5k in Sept. and continue this WOE.

                      Hellooooooo. Welcome to you. Good job on saying no to the birthday cake. Why do we feel so GUILTY when we do that? It's almost like we feel the need to apologise profusely just because we don't want to mess up our WOE. So well done you. That's not an easy one, but you DID IT!!! Great mini celebration!
