1.  I have thought about posting here at Shrinking Jeans, every single day. 2.  I have not posted on my personal blog here in 7 days. 3.  I feel so very guilty about it. 4.  I have not exercised since Monday, January 26th. 5.  I have lost weight since then but only because I had the dreaded flu.

6.  My […]

Hello? Hi! It’s been awhile, I know. I haven’t posted much here at Shrinking Jeans, just because. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I feel like a bit of a failure. I have hit a slump and I seem to be saying the same things over and over again. […]

Yesterday, Lisa outlined the Weight Watchers plan, and today I’m going to outline the South Beach Diet for you. Now to be honest, I’ve never used the South Beach plan to lose weight. I’m a half-assed Weight Watchers girl. But Weight Watchers is what I know, what I’m comfortable with, it’s ingrained into my brain. […]

“I’m Jen, a real-life friend of Melissa’s. I’m 34, mom of 3 boys. I lost 50# in 11 months and kept it off for over a year. But between October and uh, LAST WEEK, I put 13 back on, […]

I know I haven’t been around much, but I promise I have my reasons.  The good news?  I’m still watching my weight and still making sure my LOSER HUSBAND is still getting good a nutritional meal at night.  (most times.)
One thing that we needed in our house was a nice digital food scale.  I am […]

I’m ready to join the latest fitness craze and jump start my […]
