About 8 years ago, I lost 75 pounds on my own with diet and exercise and I kept it off until I had Punkie (darn "eating for two!"). I was a heavy soda (and NOT diet Coke) drinker back then. My first week dieting, I totally cut out soda, only drank water and lost 12 pounds my first week! Tells you how much extra, empty calories you can take in in just sugary liquids!
I made Sharon's Tequila Chicken recipe last night for dinner... can you say YUM?! Very good! If you haven't tried it yet, you must. It's delish! I also made a big pot of chili yesterday - with 90/10 ground sirloin. I'm having some for lunch today. Can't wait for it!
Alright! Alright! I'll post a picture, for crying out loud but I'm not happy about doing so. Here's a picture of myself and husband at my cousin's wedding, June 2007. As you can see, I was part of the wedding party. I *think* I'm about the same weight now as I was then. I'm going to use this as my "before" picture.
That's all I got!
Enjoy your day!

Isn't that BOM from Bunny Hill fun? I love her stuff! Three lbs. is a lot, you should feel happy! I figure if I lost 1-2 lbs. a week, I would be doing good. My goal this year is not to get on the scales, but to walk more than once a week....I should be walking now... I would rather sew or look at blogs.....Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleterock on with the 3 lbs! eating for 2 got me to where i am now, but my husband did start me on that road - i can't believe i was a size 10 when i started dating him! good job on the water - and i read somewhere that some institute did a study (mayo or someone of that caliber) and have water in your food as opposed to drinking it (ie soup) keeps you full longer - and you're still getting your water in! yipee for independent studies!

ReplyDeleteYay you! Who knew when we were younger we would get so excited about being a loser?! :o) Great job and that pic of you is great.
ReplyDeleteWOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO Your the FIRST before photo I've seen today on LOSER MONDAY. I am soooo proud of you. Now it didnt hurt that bad did it?? And you look cute so there.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the chicken. I thought it was really good too.

you got it, pregnancy sure can screw up the eating! I guess I can't blame mine on my last pregnancy though, I only gained 12 pounds with the "baby" and she's 15 now. sigh. I sure did gain it later though.
ReplyDelete3 lbs. way to go!!!! I can't wait to try that chicken.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture of you and your hubby!
