Down again! I have literally been exercising my butt off! A friend told me a couple of days ago, "I don't mean to be inappropriate, but your butt is smaller." WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! Finally, the 33 pounds off is starting to show! I am hoping by the end of August I will be down at least 40 pounds. I really can't wait to be down 60 so I can sing that song, "I'ma Halfway There" by some goofy teen band. LOL
Exercise - more intense exercise than I have been doing - is making the difference I think.

Down dooby do down, down........
Down to 228.6 - wooooooot!!! Second mini goal reached 7/20/10
Next stop 199 - aka ONEDERLAND!! Mini goal number three is to get to Onederland weighing 199 or less. 29 pounds to go. I am hoping I will be there by 10/21/10.
I am continuing to count and log calories at http://www.fitday.com/ My profile is public if you want to see how much food I eat and what I am eating while losing an average of 2.4 pounds a week! TXMary2 is my screenname.
My mother has lost 12 pounds!!! She is doing great! She bought a treadmill. I went over to give it a whirl tonight and walked 21 mintues at an incline of 2.5 while going 3.0 to 3.5 mph. I sweatted, huffed and puffed and felt good! I was a little annoyed when Fitday said I only burned 98 calories!! Seems like a lot of effort to burn so little, but as the ladies at 3 Fat Chicks forums reminded me - I am in this for health and to get fit and toned, not necessarily just to "burn calories." I don't know what I would do without such a great group of supportive strangers at 3FC! They are a blessing.

Going down please!
OK- I have been experimenting with weighing everyday to see how my weight flucuates based on my calories, water and exercise the day before as well as how my weight behaves during TOM.
On June 16th I was 238.2 and today I am 232.0 - that's 6.2 pounds lost. Total lost since April 21st - 26 pounds. I need to speed things up to 8-10 pounds a month. This last week I have kept my calories in the 1600 range instead of the 1800-2000 range that I am allowed. I can also step up the exercise and see what happens.
My biggest focus right now is getting into ONEDERLAND! I am 33 pounds away and I'd like to be there before Halloween! That seems so far off, but I need to have the patience. Even though I have been gaining weight each year for the last 14 years and abusing my body with unhealthy foods and no exercise, it is amazing how quickly it can be undone. ONE YEAR and 100 pounds can come off - after 14 years of abuse - as someone on 3FC recently said, that is freaking amazing. So, would I like to be 140-150 today, yes, but I need to take this one day at a time and love my body by not overfeeding it and giving it healther foods. I still don't make the healthiest choices, but I am weighing and measuring and eating reasonable servings for the most part. As long as I am in my calorie range it is a good day!

Down another pound!
234.6 - down one pound from last Wednesday. Went swimming yesterday for 30 minutes of treading water and laps. Felt good. We are going swimming again today and if I am not too burnt out I might go walking tonight before it gets dark.
NSV: I put a pair of jeans on that previously I couldn't get over my gut, let alone zip or button. They zip and button with relative ease, but they are not comfortably wearable. They give me major muffin top - BUT it is progress so I am excited!!
