16 pounds down ... letterman style.
top ten things i LOVE about me losing weight

my skin is clearer.

my arms are smaller.

my ankles aren't swollen.

my thighs are shrinking.

i have a collarbone again.

my chins are going away.

what's this? cheekbones?!

my nails aren't chipping.

i feel like i can function again.

my small pants fit!

(husband swears that my boobs are getting bigger ... truth is, my waist is getting smaller!)

getting healthy is my goal, and i'm almost there.

@BarelyJen - so much temptation.. Especially when you get off work at it's a 30 minute drive home and you're just too hungry to wait til you get home! it's sucks!

I've started to work out and try to lose weight as well. However, I've only lost 5 pounds and I've already hit a plateau. I have 45-50 pounds to lose, so it's rather discouraging.

That's awesome. I need to get on the bandwagon again. I've been totally flaking out on working out... what have you been doing to lose healthily?

@EilisAngelos - i've got about 40-50 more pounds to go myself ... it's hard to get over the plateau, but keep working at it; you'll get there!
@nimbusthedragon - quite a few things, actually. here's my list.
@jediwa72 - tell that boy to hurry up and come out then! (on second thought, tell him to stay in til he's done cookin'!)

Cool. I've lost 120 Pounds since 2006. I've kinda hit a plateau lately - I like to use the term "I'm in a consolidation phase" - My mom made the comment recently she could see my jawline for the first time in a long time...

I'm so proud of you. It's not an easy thing to do, and when you get to a point where you feel really really healthy it's like fitting into a new shell. As of today I have lost 54.4 pounds and it's been really tough but I feel great. I wish you all the luck!

@EilisAngelos - YOu can do it!!!

1,000 eProps!

Your talent is amazing. Ive never been so confident that I have someone who can really supply my site with quality graphic design. You are incredible. I hope you do this for a living, because you certainly could.
If you want to give me a quick lesson on how to put one of the banners up on my xanga, that would be awesome. Seriously. Id give you all my credits if I could.

Awesome!

and hey, GO YOU!
Ive been losing weight too, and its weird to see the change in the mirror. Ive dropped 97lbs in one year. (i was pregnant this time last year, nine months pregnant, so I had baby weight to lose)
Im proud of you, and you deserve to be proud of yourself!
