I'm down another 4 lbs. - I lost 8 when I had my stomach bug about 1.5 weeks ago, and I gained 4 back. But I count it as a success that I didn't gain it all back.

Since we started over a year ago, I've lost 32 lbs. I still have 20+ more I want to go. If I can get to that 20 lbs. level, I'll be happy though. Some of my successes recently - I've had to buy new clothes because the old ones didn't fit at all. I occasionally look in the mirror and feel sttractive - that hasn't happened in a while. And I saw some pictures of me taken a couple of weeks ago that I didn't hate. All good stuff.

WHat am I doing? Well, working out 5-6 days a week. I'm also trying to do "active" fun stuff on the weekends like biking and hiking and canoeing. I'm trying to eat less, but I admit I am still prone to eating fatty foods late in the day. I've cut out a lot of sugar. I drink water.

But I think the biggest thing is....I'm focusing on making *me* happy. I'm a stress eater, so anything that I can do that adds pleasure to my life is a good thing.
