Woo Hoo! Despite our asston of Chinese Takeout (granted, less than the asston we used to buy in a given order...), despite the fact that my main form of exercise last week was walking, and despite having ice cream for dessert almost every night, I am down to 220. That's a mere one pound away from my second 10% of my body weight lost. I have a feeling that I can do this... ;) It's now 59 pounds lost from my maximum. I think it's time for some bike shorts and stretch pants in Large. My XLs are baggy. I'm seriously considering trying my hand at altering the regular shorts I have. Who knows how well that will go, but it'll be better than keeping them on as clown pants... Once I do my exercises today, I think I'll start on that.

***grins wide*** We all know I'm not stopping there, either. :) I'm glad I found SparkPeople when I did, and that I got help when I did.

Hee, I know the feeling of clown pants. We now know that me + someone else can fit in my old sweatpants...

Congrats. I wish my Chinese takeout-and-ice cream lifestyle was working that well. :D

Two of the pairs have drawstrings, I've been cinching them down so they fit, but they're ridiculous when they're untied. They need serious work.

I think the success with the Chinese and ice cream come both from making what used to last me one night last for four nights and from having only a half-cup of ice cream at a time. I also drink loads of water, eat lots of whole grain stuff, and loads of fruits and veggies. So, the Chinese takeout and ice cream is just a small snapshot of what's going on.

I wish you luck making foods work more toward your advantage!

I think I've run out of different ways to tell you how proud I am of you... but I can't imagine you ever tire of it, even if it's the same words over and over again. :) It's so wonderful to see you so happy and so healthy. Thank you, also, for being an inspiration to me. Yes, I lost a lot of my extra weight a couple of years ago, but you've inspired me to get into better shape and given me the kick-in-the-butt my exercise routine needed after a lazy-ish winter. We should make together-walks a more regular thing - ever week or two, or whatever. :)

I've gotta admit, I don't tire of it. :) I would love to do more together-walks. Let's make plans for it!

Sure! Doesn't look like there's much in the way of good weather this week, but maybe next week?

Sounds good to me. :) Let's both try to keep an eye out for good-weather days.
