I am so very happy to have moved into the 140s this week. I feel like I’ve been running backwards for the past two months, and now I’ve finally taken a huge leap forward! I’ve been sitting here going over the past week in my mind and I want to make a note of what […]
You’ve got to be effing kidding me. Seriously. Why do people continue to open their mouth and insert their foot? In a big way? And this time, in regards to me? I went to the nail salon today for a much needed pedicure. I haven’t had one since before the baby was born. I didn’t […]
What motivates you more than anything? What really gets you in the mood to eat right and exercise? Well, the Sisterhood has come to the conclusion that Success Stories are probably one of the best motivators EVAH. Who doesn’t want to hear someone’s story? Their tale from beginning until now. How they conquered their weight, […]

The Sisterhood of Shrinking Jeans has been in existence now for three months- can you believe it? All of us sisters (and one brother) want to know what YOU THINK of this site. Yes, really, we do. Is it helpful? Do we have to much “geeky” information? Are there enough “personal” stories or do you want […]
During this challenge we have been focusing on some heart healthy topics. Not only do we all wish to lose weight and shrink our jeans, but we also want to be healthy-heart healthy savvy too. When making better choices in our diets, deciding which is better, butter of margarine can be confusing. Do you all […]
I have counted and logged every single piece of food I’ve eaten this week. I’ve actually been kinda OCD about it. The thing is, since I’m a chronic weigher, I just don’t see the weight coming off. It’s kinda depressing actually. I’m not looking for sympathy or help finding excuses or anything. I think it’s […]
Its been a crappy couple of weeks, both personally and weight-wise. I’ve ended up gaining 3.5 lbs since 1/28 – extremely frustrating, but not surprising since I have eaten a ton of food. In my never ending quest to make good out of bad, I say to myself – “well atleast I know why I […]

1. I weigh myself every day. 2. I know that I shouldn’t do that. 3. But I do it every day. 4. Sometimes it helps me stay in control of my eating for that day. 5. Sometimes, it really doesn’t even matter. 6. I did so well Saturday night resisting the temptation of a Carl’s […]

Just a couple of weeks ago, Beth and I were discussing the need for a WW mobile app for her iPhone (gag, okay, I’m just jealous). We dreamed of being computer geeks and coming up with the app and selling it for like $2 to eleventy billion people and then we’d be gazillionaires. Well, someone […]
Do you like sandwiches? I do. As a mom, it seems like at least one meal a day (and sometimes 2) includes a sandwich. Grilled cheese, peanut butter & jelly (no, not for me, silly!), lunchmeat, BLT (with turkey bacon), etc. Sandwiches can be anything you want them to be. But bread’s not so good […]
