I'm doing the Happy Dance.....
Four weeks ago I tried to wear my "before-pregnancy" jeans. I couldn't button them closed without sucking in serious gut. And after I zipped there was some major flab overflow. It was not a pretty sight so I threw the jeans back into the drawer.
Yesterday, I put those jeans on again. Not only did I zip them up AND button them without sucking in - my stomach remained contained during wearing.
Woo-hoo - back in my jeans..... but now I need to concentrate on losing 50 pounds. I have a year. Why do I have a year? Hawaii - August 2009 - 10year Anniversary plan. The reservation has been made. Grandma has agreed to come watch children. Time to get into some serious good eating and exercise. And fitting back into those jeans is just the first step.
Goddammit! Let's not start this again! You used that dancing Snoopy a year ago and I spent 3 days trying to get one working on my Blogger blog. I won't be sucked in this time!
Well done on the clothes.

Wow, that was pretty quick! Congrats! I have yet to fit into the clothes I wore before having #3! (I bounced back within 3 months after #1 and #2, but #3 was the last straw!)
I love the hopping Snoopy :)

Woot, woot!! Hip hip hooraaaay! Um, I could be your weight loss buddy. I want to lose about 30-40 and run the half-marathon in 2009.

That seems pretty good in such a short time. It always helps to have a goal, I'm sure you will make it with all of us to encourage you!

It's the middle of the freaking night, I can't sleep, and I'm reading a tiny bit (had no intent to comment anywhere, and now this is my second :/).
I saw Snoopy Dancing and I HAD to comment though! Why? WAAHOOOOO--YOU WORE YOUR JEANS! That's reason to partay!!! And quick, Karmyn...very fast.
So fun that you have HAWAII for a motive to get into shape...THAT is a trip of a lifetime :).
(maybe back to bed now...I hope this makes sense :).)

Holy cow! I couldn't get in my prepreg jeans if my life depended on it. And, good for you getting a nice vacay for the 10th. Mine is just before yours and I doubt I'm getting a thing.
