Joe has NO idea what this "change" in me means!

I just spent $300 on TOPS (one pair of trouser jeans -- the rest, tops) for me.  You know, so I have something to wear with my new gray UGGS.  Which, btw, I still haven't ordered because I don't know if I want paisley, plain gray or the cardy (sweater) ones. 

UGH!  Such problems, huh?!
But seriously --- I can foresee I'm going to be spending less (well, Joe would hope) on the kids wardrobes and more on mine.  And to think, I still haven't even got to a size that is "fun" to shop for!  ;)

    I've lost 9.8 pounds in October so far.

    I weigh in again on Tuesday.

    I have 100 pounds total to lose.

    That is great!  You should definitely spend time on H&F- those girls are so motivating!

    Jodi I'm so happy for you!  100 lbs is so doable.  My bff has lost 100 lbs since she had her DD 3.5 years ago.  She could have lost it all sooner, but she didn't actively start trying til her DD was 1.5 so it really only took her 2 years.  She went from 265 to 165 and she looks hawt!  I'm so proud of her!  She didn't think she could do it at first, but she got motivated like you and didn't lose that motivation.  She did go around 6-9 months without losing anything at one point b/c she got depressed (her marriage started falling apart but she is divorced now) and stopped working out.  After that she got back on board and lost the final 20 lbs.  Anyway just sharing her story b/c I don't know many people that are as motivated as you two.  Good luck and keep on spending...you deserve some clothes to make you feel as great as you look.

    Totally doable.  I am still down 50 pounds sine Feb, and obviously I stopped trying to lose weight in August.  It took about 6 months for me and I don't think I pushed myself near as hard as I could have.  I am really proud of you!

    Thanks chicas!
    100 pounds seems SOOOO daunting --- and totally not possible.

    But then again, I know it IS possible (my sister's SIL lost that much doing WW).

    Brew --- you are truly an inspiration --- honestly, if I can get below 200, I would be psyched.  If I could get to 160-170 --- HOT!  :)

    Have fun shopping!  :)

    I've struggled w/ weight off and on, and am currently working pretty hard to lose about 15-20lbs.  I always find that my motivation is incredibly shallow in that I am motivated by buying cute clothes.  I love to shop, and it's more fun if I like how I look in the clothes.  While being healthy and looking good are good motivators for me, it's the actual shopping and buying clothes that is the biggest and best motivator for me.  I know it sounds dumb but it is what works for this shopaholic!
