The joy, yes JOY of shopping!

When I started my diet about 8 weeks ago, I had decided I wanted to lose 20 pounds before my vacation. We leave for Key West May 13, which is now less than a week away.

As of yesterday morning, I have lost (drum roll, please) :rimshot: 19 POUNDS!!!!

I have less than a week to lose the other one pound, however, I don't care! I'm very proud.

I have absolutely no fashion sense, so yesterday, my daughter and I played "What not to Wear". She took me shopping and helped me select what to try on.

Let me say one thing...I'm an accountant...I dress like an accountant, so I needed all the help she could give me (she's 20 and college student).

Here'e the final score: I ended up spending about $100 more than my budget, and really didn't get a ton of stuff, but I got really, really good quality pieces . All the things I bought were either 1 or 2 sizes smaller than pre diet!!! I'm not in single digits yet...but not very far. I'm thrilled!!! Is it weight watchers who says "Nothing tastes as good and thin feels?" Amen, sister!

We are celebrating Mothers Day today, since we'll be away next week. I had told the kids I would "cheat" for the one day, since they are planning our dinner. Now, I sorta don't want to!

I wanted to share my small victory with all of you. Hopefully, it will help someone stay on task.

Oh, by the way...did I mention..the adorable little, strapless clubbing dress I got :twisted:? Man, I'm gonna dance, at least, one night away!!!!!

That is awesome! Congrats!

:cheer:
yeah Deb!!! :yay:
That's awesome that you stuck with it and were able to attain your goal! I LOVE playing What not to Wear with my mom, too! And she usually spends more than she was planning to, too!
If your kids are making an 'evil' dinner, just try eating a sensible amount of it, then it won't be so bad...
Congrats again!
One meal will not ruin it, just work harder tomorrow......take an extra long walk, drink plenty of water and cut back a bit on food. You've earned one meal.
Congratulations! It is such hard work to lose weight unless you constantly keep your mind on the prize.

Good work- and have a great vacation looking FABULOUS :wink:
Impressive !!!!!!!!!!!! :banana: :banana:

Enjoy the Mother's Day meal without guilt!
You'll balance that with the dancing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy your vacation 8) ( More shopping, walking counts as exercise :lol: )
I am so happy for you!!! /dance of joy

I hope your vacation turns out to be a blast.

I LOVE new clothes. :D

That's awesome! congrats to you! What a fun way to reward yourself too. :yay: :banana: :cheer:
Good for you Deb! The big question is....Did you buy any shoes to go with those outfits???????????????
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...you betcha!!!!

I bought a white sandal on a stacked heel, and for the "clubbing" dress, I bought a brown/bronze sandal woven with "gems", heel about 2 inches high. I will be in pain the next day, but what the heck?!

Both are Nine West.
I love nine west....sigh...all is right in my world now, knowing that you have kicky sandals to go with your new outfits :D
Deborah, I'm am so proud and happy for you. Your hard work has paid off. I know you'll look just grand and Tony will fall in love with you all over again!!!!! Love to all. Auntie Paula
