lol... Well, that's a good way to look at it too, yay... I'll go with your reasoning!! ((As opposed to me just being lazy...))  *gives yay two thumbs up* So what's your secret? Or are you just doing it the old fashioned way? |

Yep, pretty much the old-fashioned way. No diet pills or special proups or anything. A bunch of people from the S&D boards started a yahoogroup to support each other as we work on it, and that's really helped. But my basic plan since March has been: 1200-1300 calories a day when I don't exercise 1400-1500 when I do exercise 1800-2000 once a week to keep metabolism chugging along And then I also make sure I'm eating every three hours or so. And drink enough water (I'm kind of addicted to water, so this isn't much of a problem). That's it! LOL As if it's that simple. It's really hard, and I definitely have my moments of weakness, but with having so long to "prepare" for the cruise, I think I finally felt like I didn't need results immediately, I just needed to keep working at it and hopefully get some results by January.  |

Well it is apparently working very well for you if you've lost 36 pounds! Are all your clothes too big now?

Yes, but luckily I have clothes all the way up and down the scale, thanks to my packrat charm. I mostly wear jeans to work (thank goodness I'm on the night shift), and the ones I have aren't really the kind that go out of style. Now for dress clothes, I'm totally lacking - I've got those at the top of the scale and down where I used to be, but not so much in between.
