Sticking with it - 9 lbs down - Thanks Christian Momlogic Healthy Living Group

I roll out of bed every morning at 6:30 a.m. I'm not used to the alarm yet though it's been six weeks. My natural body clock is around 7:30ish and my inclination is to hit the alarm with a sledge hammer. But I have a goal, one that I've been trying to accomplish by myself for a long time. Five years ago it was lose the 7 or 8 pound tire around my middle. I was thin on top, great for pictures. Round in the middle. Tough in jeans. I blamed it on the twins, though they are 25 now. It was a flimsy excuse.

And then last year it kept coming on. More L-Bs.

At Christmas I used my new FLIP and the 3D pictures didn't allow me to lie to myself anymore. My 8 lb. tire was now 20 lbs.

Enter Christian Momlogic Healthy Living. Accountability. Cheerleaders. Tips. Recipes. Atta girls. Sometimes you need to know that someone's doing it with you.

I've now lost 9 lbs. and there's a few more to go. But the scales won't be my judge. My jeans will. It felt good last week going into a store and buying a shirt that fit both my chest, shoulders, and belly. My muffin-top is reducing.

Maybe one day I'll jump out of bed at 6:30 and smile with joy at the prospect of working out for an hour every day. But until that personality change kicks in, I'm grateful for the ladies at CML. This is a shout-out to you, and an invitation for others to join. But let me take a moment and congratulate:

Bernadette on a weight loss of 10 pounds in five weeks.

Christine is down 5 pounds.

Becky has lost 12 pounds.

Teresa is going to be featured in O Magazine and joined us after that announcement. Let's cheer her on.

ive been doing weight watchers - im at 10 lbs and my daughter is at 7 (she is 11) - thought that teaching her the healthy way to go was the best from the start - i have a long way to go but just taking one day at a time.

Wow, I completely agree. I also have a problem with parents who knowingly give their child fever reducers so they can send them to school. Of course it wears off by lunch and the child is usually sent to the office with a fever and the child is se...
