Great job on breaking through that plateau, Jen!

Oh YUM that receipe sounds great. One question, can you taste the sour cream much? I am not a fan of sour cream.

Way to go on the exercise and at the BBQ. You are really doing a great job Jen.

thank you sooo much for the positive and sweet comments...i hope i can be (and that i am) an inspiration...i'm no different than any person here, i just try VERY hard EVERY DAY and keep a positive attitude ALWAYS!!! i'm not losing as fast as I wish I were, but i didn't gain all this weight quickly either...i've been overweight for 14 yrs...so i'll take my 27.5 lb loss in just over 2 months and RUN WITH IT....stay positive and KEEP SWIMMING...you'll have your 70# off i no time at all!!! when i get the chance i'll visit your journal...keep up with it, this has been SO IMPORTANT on my journey thus far...and trust me...you'll be an inspiration yourself before you are through!

hugs!
Jen

i think it is great that you stick with it, even when it gets tough! That is how I want to be. I give up really easily. I am the type of person who thinks, I can start my diet on Monday-then never does. But that is why I am on the WISH boards, it is really helping! It helped me lose 30 pounds. I hope that by journaling it will help me lose the rest. Have a great evening and keep up the great work!

 

[joelyfaithsmommy]

started my day right with 35 minutes of 'walk away the pounds' (walk/jog) equivilant of 2.5 miles...yay! now going to make it a SUPER day where eats are concerned and do either 3 mile REAL walk tonight, or the stepper for 45 min..not sure which!! my unspoken goal in aug is to exercise EVERY SINGLE DAY...we'll see how that comes along...so far, so good!
