Well, I hit the 15 mark this weekend- the goal is about 20. But honestly the issue wasn't the pounds it was the closet full of clothes that didn't fit. Being a frugal gal, I just couldn't justify spending money to buy a new wardrobe because of my laziness. The problem is nearly solved.

... The trouble is, Big'ol lost so much he needs new clothes! Teeheheee

I have a closet like that... so that is part of the reason why I am losing. The other is my health. It's not healthy to be carrying around all this extra weight. And it's not healthy to eat the way I do.

So, I'm down 22-1/2... Like I said, it seems that 11 pounds have come off each thigh.

Shrink waist and midriff, shrink.

I've strayed from the diet in the last month, but with working out I'm still shaping up. If I continue, which I hope to (including resuming the diet) I will need new pants pretty soon.

I don't have a pair of pants that will stay up without a belt.

On the other hand, Jr. grows a size just about every four hours. He has a band concert tonite. We're okay on the black pants, tie and shoes. But he went to try on his white shirt. I told his mom "it's a size 16, it should be fine." He wore it okay at Christmas.

It's a boys size 16. She's on the way to take him to the orthodontist, then buy a shirt.

Scary part is, based on previous history, we're several hours ahead of the band concert clothes panic...
