Please tell me you aren’t 5’10”, because 145 lbs.and a size 10 is a little too thin for that height – I know because that is what I weighted and wore 20+ years ago and looking back at pictures of myself, my chin could have been considered a lethal weapon, and I could have easily hid behind most street poles! Ha ha ha! Still, I wish you well on your slimming endeavor, keep walking! You are lovely on the inside; so it can’t but help radiate outward =)

In reply to Meg@ourwaytoeat.com. I know Meg! It's always not the right time, wether it's summer winter spring or fall, there is always reasons to eat and drink. I hear that. I've been loving having my CSA (and my garden), I've been using the entire box every time and have been making really tasty and delicious meals my just eating veggies roasted, grilled, tossed into a salad, or whatever. All they ever need is a bit of seasoning a little olive oil and a bit of lemon juice. I think I am cooking more delicious meals then I was before I started trying to lose weight. Let's do it together! I think there is strength in numbers!

In reply to Katrina. Yes! Screwed up a bit this weekend but walked 3 miles every day even while on vacation. Totally determined, and thanks!

This post could have been about me, if you deleted the parts about having 2 kids. I have been up, I have been down, but now I’m up (bummer) and I really want to get over it. I also want to do it without tossing my beer coozies and giving up my food blog (such as it is). Is it possible? I made 3 early morning exercises and one afternoon last week, but a weekend at the lake undid all progress. Summer is a hard time for change with so much fun to pack in. So is winter. I’m not giving up, and I am giving you props for getting really real and honest about it. Thanks, it is encouraging! I hope I’m there with you celebrating a new me in a few months. You have drive for things most of us don’t face, like doornob redoing, a few diet and exercise tweaks will be a piece of cake!

Wow, nice work so far!! I am still working on shedding my baby weight, ugh. It is not fun, and I seem to constantly go up and down with the same 10 lbs. I recently came across this entry from the Black Apple that was super inspiring, and actually motivated me to start exercising more (thanks to the library and You Tube):

Best of luck to you! It’s good that you recognize that it’s not just about the number on the scale and can see the progress that you’ve already made. If you don’t feel the lbs are dropping as you think they should just remember – muscle weighs twice as much as fat!!

Omg I really think we’re long lost sisters or something! I did the same weight loss goal (pretty much same weights too) at the beginning of last year using the same method! I used the app my fitness pal and tracked everything also. If I could do it, I know you can too girl, go for it!!!

Get it, gal! You are beautiful, and judging from the photos, looking more comfortable and lean.

In reply to Lindy. Thanks for the book recommendation. I'll have to check it out, I appreciate the suggestion as I'm looking for things to keep me focused and on track, especially of the life changer quality :) Glad to hear you had success!

Ugh, baby weight. I struggled for 4 years to get mine off. FINALLY had success (lost 20 lbs) after reading Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes. Life changer. Now I tell everyone I know about this book. Best of luck!
