Wow!  Week #11...goodness.  I didn't even really realize how long I've been at this.  Yea, me!  Well, it was a good weigh-in.  I'm down 3 pounds this week!  How awesome am I ??!!  The scale says I am now 205 pounds. That brings my total weightloss to 35 pounds!  Oh yes...I did say 35 pounds!  And now, I would like to offer a big "thank you" to my new friend, WATER...without whom, this great feat would not have been possible.  Hehe.

I head down to Alabama on Monday or Tuesday for Thanksgiving.  I told my mom that I've lost 20 pounds.  I know she's looking forward to seeing how I look.  I will not be at my not-so-mini "mini-goal" of 199.  But, I came pretty darn close, huh?  Especially considering where I started from.  Anyway, as you can tell...I'm pretty happy today.  35 pounds just feels so HUGE!  Hope you all had a wonderful week.  Enjoy the weekend...but not with lots of FOOD...Thanksgiving is right around the corner!  :)  God Bless you, Friends ~~ Hilary

Well, yesterday was a long, long day.  Spent nearly the whole day at a doctor appt. Yuck!  Had two appointments...had a long break between them.  Went shopping...was on my feet walking for a long time.  I know it must have done some good b/c I am feeling it today.  Today is going to be a CRAZY day!  I have SO much to get done...don't even know where to start.  Better get off this computer.  Tomorrow is weigh day...actually looking kinda forward to it.  Just need to make sure to drink tons of water today!  Hope you are all having a wonderful week.  God Bless ~ Hilary

Ok, everyone. I am SO behind on my fatbook.  Goodness gracious, I have been busy!  BUT, I am sticking to my meal plan (ujmm, mostly).  Starting to not drink 2 shakes everyday sometimes...but, I substitute w/ lowcal meals.  I think I'm going to have a good weigh-in on Friday.  Just gotta keep pushing that water. Not doing so great on my exercise challenge...sorry Coni.  I may have to change to something like jumping jacks that will be quicker until things calm down around here.  Gotta go run make dinner.  I'll TRY to post more later.  Sorry I'm not being a great buddy.  Just haven't been able to get on the computer very much lately.  I "write" posts in my head all the time...just never seem to have time to actually type them for y'all.  Calgon...take me away!  God Bless ~~Hilary

Well...I was dreading getting on the scale this morning.  I am a chronic weigher...weigh at least once a day...usually twice.  All week, my weight has wavered between 210 and 211.  I just knew I was going to stay at 210 for this week.  BUT...the scale was kind to me today.  I weighed in at 208!!  That's a 2 pound loss since last Friday! Yea!  I was quite happy to not be stuck in the 210 range anymore...I've been there a while now.  That is a 32 pound total loss since Sept. 1.  So, I guess that exercise paid off, huh?  Oh, and I've upped my water consumption this week b/c I had started slacking off again.  I have to remain very vigilant in order to remember to drink all my water.  Glad I was able to share happy news today.  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  God Bless ~~ Hilary

Hey everyone. Sorry I've slacked on my "Fatbook" lately.  Things have just been busy nonstop around here.  Did want to let you know that the treadmill has not seen anymore action since last Sunday....BUT, I did go on a brisk 40 minute walk outside yesterday.  I enjoyed it so much!  The weather could not have been more perfect...and I walked a different route than normal so I felt kinda like I was going exploring.  Wish the temps could stay like that year round!  I'll try to post my Fatbook later today.  Gotta get my daughter to preschool.  God Bless you, Friends ~~ Hilary

Ok...so when I posted the above earlier today, I had not walked on my treadmill since Sunday.  But...I did get on it this afternoon.  I walked on the treadmill for almost 15 minutes.  Felt good... mainly b/c I was just proud that I did some exercise today.  Probably didn't burn a ton of calories...but I did get off my behind and took some positive steps toward my goal.  Hope you are all doing well this week.  My weigh-in is tomorrow...not expecting much of a loss, but hoping for at least a pound.  God Bless ~~ Hilary
