Another "13" for me!

I have been on a new diet program for 4 weeks, going into my fifth. It has been full of ups and downs as most diets are, but I have been having success a total of 22 inches and 20 1/2 pounds so far! (You can follow my progress if you want just click on the "I"m So Losing It" link on this page.)

I started this diet program with my sister and it seems to have rubbed off on those around us too- doesn't it always seem to be that way? Buy a new car and then see it everywhere. Buy a new shirt and see the same design everywhere. Etc. Anyway, as we pushed forward on this program some of our friends couldn't participate in this program but were determined to not be left behind and have been working hard at their own programs to lose weight too. It has been so AWESOME! I was texting with one one of these friends and she has lost 13 pounds!!!! (Woot! Woot! Congratulations!)  And we text some more about clothes and she mentioned that 13 pounds sounds like so much you feel like you can just jump into smaller clothes and then realize that (fortunately) the 13 pounds is evenly distributed so you can't jump into new pants just yet and that you have a few more "13 pounds" to go! Me too, me too! I have a few more "13 pounds" to go too.

Small and steady is so important. Small and attainable goals so you have consistent success rather than prolonged failure. No worries my friend a few more "13 pounds" and you'll be sliding with ease into smaller clothes! Me too! Me too!
