Good for you Mandy! I will be cheering you on from Sweden. I too am making a lifestyle change. I have decided that I cannot succeed dieting, it needs to be a permanent change. We are getting married on December 31st and by then need to be back to my pre-baby weight. I can barely walk after my first Body Pump class in 4 years.

Robin

Yay!! You go girl. I love the list, I am excited for you just reading it. I can't wait to watch you on this adventure. I hope all of the joy you are putting out comes back at you 10-fold!
Love you!

Hey lady! Great list! Italy is on mine too.
When I decided to do 35 things in my 35th year (meaning to be completed by the time I turn 35 in December) I secretly added lose 35 pounds. I never said it or acknowledged it before, just internally. There is an inherent fear of failure when it comes to weight loss for me. I know I can lose it, it is just a matter of doing it, right? Wrong. Like you, I have food issues. It is something to control in a world where we have so little control, and really control is an illusion anyway. I admire your chutzpah! I admire your willingness to put it all out there. Good luck. Stay focused and you can acheive anything!

This is as exciting as going to Italy! I am so delighted for you. May I come along for the ride and I think I am going to use some of your list,it's a great one. Love you!

Awesome! We are all cheering you on Biz. However, I am a little disappointed that a English lit major would misspell Sweden (item #12 on your list)! C'mon Pady Peepol!

Christopher Lembke

Yay!! You can do it Girl!! I am going to write down my list now too! xoxoxo

PLEASE NOTE: Stoffe did not write the comment directly above - I did. I didn't realize I was signed in to his account. Sorry Stofferman for making you sound like a woman.

Anyway, I am so proud of you Mandy! It takes a lot of courage to share your goals with the world. I know how far you have come in just being able to do that. Cheers, Bravo & PipPip to you, Girl!! xoxo
