Yipee Kiyay!
I'm in a fabulous mood!! Why? I'll tell you...
I've got a pair of jeans on that I haven't been able to wear for almost 2 years!! 
The last time I tried to put these pants on the button was 6 inches from the hole. There was no way I could even contemplate doing them up!
Today... I slipped them on and the button did up EASILY! I even have a bit of room to move in them. Not constricted or anything.
I'm sooooooo loving this!

Too big...lol
The size 14 jeans I bought two weeks ago are too big!! 
I gave the whole weight loss thing some thought a couple of days ago and came to realize that since weighing in at my parents during our Christmas/New Year's visit I've lost about 43lbs!!! When I weighed myself then I was 212lbs.
I'm seriously proud of myself for doing this. I'm going to keep doing it too!!

Woohoo! It was that easy!
I'm 0.2 shy of having lost a total of 10lbs so far!! I'm sure if AF(TOM) wasn't here I'd be down that much more. I'm so jazzed about how well this is going!
Now, if DH can get the job he's been interviewing for, things would be orgasmically good around here!

Down a pant size!!
So I put on a pair of shorts on Friday morning and they were huge. We're talking DH could put him arm down the side of me inside my shorts huge.
I "begged" DH to let me buy a couple pairs of shorts to "get me through the rest of the summer" and wow! I've gone from an 18 to a regular size 16!! Two weeks and one dress size!! Wahoo!
I'm now on full dose of my WM-2000's so they said I'll "really" start seeing it come off now. We'll see. So far I'm happy with the results I'm seeing. Even MIL and FIL noticed the weight loss and commented on it this Saturday. :D
I'm happy dancing..sort of. AF (TOM or whatever you call the nasty monthly witch) arrived this morning just as I was leaving for work. Good thing I went to the loo before leaving! White pants and AF are soooooo not a good idea. A quick change to beige capris and off I went. IF this month is anything like last month, tomorrow is going to be hellish.

So far so good
I'm not really finding this hard at all! I'm getting plenty to eat and am not getting hungry half an hour after eating.
No fast food in over a week either!
I caved in on Tuesday and had a Lava Cake that I'd made for desert for the kids. DS #1 made me so mad that I ate the first thing I saw.
Really have to learn to stop myself from doing that. Dayum but it was good though!
I'm slowly getting used to the taste of Coke Zero as opposed to the usual regular Coke I'd been drinking. It takes some getting used to but I'm getting there!
On a happy note, at my weigh in last night they took my measurements again (every Wednesday) and I am down 3 3/4 inches overall!! 
So far this program is AWESOME!!!!!

The Beginning
I started the Herbal Magic Weight Loss Plan on July 30, 2008 at a starting weight of 188lbs on my 5'3" medium build frame. I'm working my way down to 125-135 lbs by February 2009.
I'm keeping track of my Food in the log but it's not 100% accurate becauses some foods aren't listed. ie. corn on the cob. Basically, I'm allowed 2 proteins, 2 starches, 2 fats, 3 vegetables, 2 fruit, 2 starches and 1 dairy. I'm also allowed what's called a Free Exchange. (I usually treat myself to 3 cups of microwave popcorn!) I've tried to get as close as possible to actual portions with the items found in the log, and I've added a couple of personalized items.
Last weigh in was on Friday, August 1st, 2008 and I was down to 184.6lbs so I'm doing something right!!
Next weigh in is tomorrow after work. Let's see how good I did over the long weekend!
