announcement! ANNOUNCEMENT!!

It's Darla again. Hijacking my cousins blog which she graciously offered to let me "guest" appear on every now and again.

And so today...I have an announcement.

Minus 10 pounds and counting!!!

I have long been the queen of losing 3-5 pounds and then getting complacent - gaining them back and then losing them again.

Which is why I am so grateful for Deanne making this site. The tips are great, the insight is...well, insightful, but most importantly, she led by example.

And so...wanting to be like my "older and wiser" cousin, I set out on a similar goal.

And let me tell you, even 10 pounds lighter (30 more to go) feels great! I have gone down one size in clothing and I can tell a noticeable difference. I don't think it is noticeable to others yet (which is a little sad because at one time in my life 10 pounds was extremely noticeable, now not so much).

I have waited a few days to share the news because I wanted to make sure it was really gone. Ensure that it wasn't going to come back in a day or week or two. So now I even have a few pounds of cushion between me and my 10 pound loss.

And from here...I'm on to my next 10.

And I can't wait to see how good minus 20 might feel!
