I don't usually share much information of a personal nature here on my blog, but I'm making an exception for a minute because I'm celebrating a milestone. Like so many women, I started putting on the pounds through the years without really realizing it. Three years ago I woke up one morning and didn't like what I saw in the mirror. I joined Weight Watchers and it took me exactly one year to loose 50 pounds. A couple of weeks ago was the two year anniversary of maintaining my goal weight. None of it has been easy - and it probably never will be. Not a day goes by that I wouldn't love to eat a big bag of M&Ms or a giant Hershey bar, (can you tell chocolate is my weakness?) but I've learned to be content with a small bite now & again so I don't feel deprived. Here are a couple of before & after pictures so you can see how my looks have changed. I feel 10 years younger and have lots more energy than I used to, plus I know I'm a lot healthier, and it's fun to buy new clothes!

You are an inspiration Gayle! And yes, you do look 10 years younger!
Good for you! I so need to do the same.
Awesome! I lost 40 lbs on WW a few years ago, but I'm sad to say that I have gained part of it back. I really need to get it back off - I felt much better, and everything hurt less!
I remember those chocolate days. You have transformed yourself into a new person.
Congratulations, Gayle! You look maaahhhh-velous!! I'm still waiting for that wake-up call.
Good for you! I joined a year ago and have lost 50 pounds too. I look and feel lots better but want to lose some more. It isn't easy! I am more worried about keeping off the weight - I have spent years dieting. Good job....

Washer dryers in combination as a single unit are also a fine option as they use the same vessel to wash and dry clothes. * Technicians: When gathering estimates and speaking with techs for air conditioning installation, it's smart to find out about their training and experience. If you do not blow dry every day or for too long and already have healthy hair, this should do fine for you. Then, on a smaller scale the room that the fireplace will be located in should be taken into account. It is a convenient mode of creating fire but the fireplace needs to be well ventilated and has to have a gas line attached to the main connection.
