Laura,

I wish you the best in your quest. You sound like you’re wanting to do this for yourself – which I think is great. I’ll keep checking in to see how you’re doing and encouraging you! Go girl!

Such fantastic comments!

N Mallory – For right now, I can totally get into the furry children thing, and I’m with you, girl! Still sending prayers your way.

Anneke – MOST DEFINITELY do I understand your situation! I remember when I was working in an office and had the same issues.

Apfelmuse – so is it a challenge? Are we on? ;)

Rachel – I’d like to add those too. My boobs are the first thing to shrink when I’m losing weight, and often get stuck in that same scenario. I’ve been doing the same thing with the same 5-10 lbs, and I’m SICK and TIRED of being SICK and TIRED of them!

Girls – let’s do this! :)

I’m proud of you, Lara! You can do it!

I love all of your reasons. The only two that I can think of to add are:

1. To never worry about whether I will fit into a seat again (When I was 240 this was a common occurence, but even at 190 my bottom half is still on the large side, wearing 18’s). There is nothing worse than having a chair arm dig into your leg while you are trying to watch a game/concert or travel on an airplane. Even worse than that, is the embarrassment of having your leg be flowing over into the next seat and touching a stranger’s, and not having any control over it.

2. I am one of the unfortunate big but light on top gals. I’m a 42B, and it’s hard for me to find bras that fit! Bra manufacturers seem to assume that all big girls are well-endowed, and unfortunately I don’t fit into that category. So I would love to be able to walk into Victoria’s Secret and buy any bra that I want.

Great question and keep up the good work. We can do this together. I have been gaining and losing the same 5-10 pounds since March, and I really want to see the scale start going down again!!

I want to lose weight, so I can get ready faster in the morning. Yeah, I tried on 3 pairs of pants with different shirts this morning to find an outfit that I could live with and it really didn’t suck.

I still tugged at it way too much in my meetings this morning/afternoon.

Oh… *count on my fingers* – my 30th birthday is in less than 7 month. And I have some really beautiful clothes in mind I like to wear on that day. That should be enough to keep me motivated tomorrow.

Hmmm…I just came back from the doctor’s office where I was given more pills for an infection and where I got to further discuss my medical issues. Yay. :( Plus, I’m home sick.

Plus, I just learned about how unregulated pet food is so I’ve been reading about home cooking for your pets, which of course talks about how when you feed your pets a nutriously balanced diets, they tend to stay healthy and do not get ill. This of course got me thinking…if I did the same for myself, I should then do better as far as my own health, yes?

So…I’m thinking that the cats, the dog, and myself are about to really get serious about what we eat, even if none of us what to. Since I’m the only one who can cook and read labels, I guess it’s up to me.

So, since I don’t want people children, I’ll substitute, I want long lives with my furry children into the list…
