Here's a quick update: Since I have started the Woman of Moderation Bible study by Dee Brestin on January 9th, I've lost 6 pounds! Having started out on the South Beach Diet, I've settled into eating the three, sensible, moderate meals.
As you can see by the photos, my pants are getting a bit loose, and no! I'm not really trying to suck in my gut!
The hair is also a new look for me. I had my stylist cut some of it off to shave off every bit of excess weight I could! Of course, I'm just kidding. I love this inverted bob. The new look is less work, and a bit of a reward to keep going.
With less than a week left in the month, I'd like to lose two more pounds, which would bring me down to 155 lbs. I'm going to try to shoot for at least a 5 lbs per month loss. That's reasonable, isn't it?
I am a bit behind in the Bible study, but I'm enjoying it, aren't you?
"Taste and see that the Lord is good!" Psalm 34:8

You look great! Keep on, keeping on! Mama in heaven is smiling from above!
Thanks, literacygirl! Lovie (as I called her) had a smile that was motivating. However, I do have a couple of pictures on my bookcase that I took of her when she was lecturing me. Those are helpful too at times, ha!
So, Jen, from a fellow Woman of Moderation journey-er, how are you doing now?

good start..have chronic high chol and read "Sweet Deceptions" use no HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP(5x's sweeter than sugar,only use honey,pure cane sugar, supple with hawthorn berries and red yeast rice there is chocolate and other goodies to be had that are natural and healthy. Trust me I lost 15lbs and most of it belly fat from the HFCS.
Its about moderation, and my daughter has had success with cutting down on portions. She does not deny herself something, but asks if she really is hungry for it, and has a smaller portion size. Drinking lots of water is good too.
Of course she also does karate, so the activity helps.
I am encouraged by your journey. If you like, I can watch you eat on Wed. nights at church, or we could split a dinner and eat half portions. Slowly. With lots of cold liquids.
I love blueberry pancakes, and small doses are okay!
