I am now sitting around 230lbs-240lbs(depending on the week and what treats I allowed myself).... I know some people hate to discuss weight.. but to me, its just a number... its doesn't(or maybe I don't allow it to) define who I am. I believe that no matter what number is on the scale is doesn't stop me from being a friend, sister, daughter, auntie, wife, lover, couponer, etc
I would love to be sitting happily at 185ish. I will get there... I learned a looooooong time ago... slow and steady wins everytime.
Hubby and I have started the "clean eating"... not so much a diet.. but a different way to eat. We are trying to stick to lots of veggies, lean meat... some fruit.... and little carbs. BUT Sunday is our "whatever the heck we want to eat... we eat it day" :) And of course, we don't stress about Birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Etc.
