Then, in the morning, I wake up and weigh myself, and I weigh a little less than the day before, and it starts all over again. That's my motivation, this time. One day at a time! This morning I didn't lose any from yesterday, but that's OK...I just have to get through this day, and tomorrow will be better

Actually, that line of thinking is working for me for a lot of stuff lately. I just have to get through today.....and tomorrow will be better

That is great, just curious as to what type of program you are following? I like yourself feel that I have about 30 to 40 lbs to loose prior to my daughters wedding, which thank goodness is in December 2009, so I do have time. We are off to Playa at the end of the month, so not willing to start anything until we return, close to the end of February, so hopefully all will go well in Playa without gainng any more weight. Keep up the good work.

Ya'll go first

No, no after you Roni!!

BTW.............still a work in progress here for the "after" picture!

[Shammy]

I'm totally still an "after" work in progress, may always be - and that's fine because enjoy how I live now as opposed to how I used to live. I'll keep working toward my goal and however long it takes me to get there - is how long it takes me to get there. Feb. 1st will be three years I've been at it, not giving up now!

I actually was looking at some older photos the other night and..yikes...I really did scare myself so here goes:

[btodd]

Wow Kiddo!! Always beautiful, but what a difference!! You really do look ten years younger............Chris looks good too! Oh yeah, the guys too.......keep up the good work! Finally got a treadmill, Brett set it up yesterday, way too cold to walk outside, used it today, LOVE IT!!!!

[Shammy]

Jeeze, an hour later I'm wondering why I posted some of those photos? Dang that took some Joisey sized bawls, eh?

Oh well - it is what it is!

Anyway, muchas gracias for the nice comments.

Ahhhh, this is my next big purchase, I want/need one. I'm been wanting to get part of my basement set aside for my gym stuff but alas, has not yet happened. I have to get rid of about a gazillion bucks worth of kiddie toys that I just can't throw away - there MUST be some not so lucky children around who need them? Been looking for somewhere to bring them but have not found anywhere yet. I digress..... Evan has started working out so maybe the two of us together will be able to get that ball rolling. Maybe that will be my NY resolution for '10?

Some other parts, maybe.

Naughty!

[_Josephina_]

Shammy - you look fan-tab-u-lous!!! What an inspiration!!

And I can totally relate on the "after in progress"! I lost a bunch of weight and I feel great but I still struggle with the last 10lbs. I have to keep myself in line or that sneaky scale starts creeping north!

[Tommygurl]

Shammy you look gorgeous!!!!! Way to go!

I am in a slump! Gained 10lbs....blah!
