It's all Aunt B's fault!!!

It was when I saw the pictures of me as Aunt Bee that I knew something had to go! Pounds that is. So I signed up at the Metabolic Research Center in Columbus to loose some weight! Here is the meaning of all the hints.

1. The Christmas project was to loose 20 pounds by Christmas! The green was the ribbon they measured off after I had been on the plan for a month and had lost 19.5 inches of stored fat!!! The number 12 was the original number of pounds I had lost since Thanksgiving, then I was sick and gained 1.5 pounds so that is why the magic number changed to 10.5 and in 3 days I lost that for a total of 13 pounds lost! I can't believe no one noticed I looked a few pounds lighter. I have had fun with this and I hope no one is too disappointed that it had nothing to do with a special friend or a special date! Sheila and Jonathon were just too funny in their comments.

When I walked into my niece's house with my food she thought, "how nice that Aunt Jan brought some food to help us out at Christmas!" but didn't say anything. The next morning when Linda saw me peeling boiled eggs for breakfast and talked about how she needed to go on a diet. Martha is the one who connected the dots between what I was eating and the hints and actually said the magic words Christmas project so she won the special Christmas present when we opened gifts-a small bottle of lotion she had been admiring all weekend when I lotioned my hands after washing dishes!

So the secret is out and I am still marching along to lose 50 pounds! This is the only weight loss plan I have ever been able to stick too and I love it. I feel sooooo good and can tell a big difference with just 13 pounds off. I am already off one of my blood pressure pills.

So stayed tuned and I may share some more magic numbers as we go along.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, I did. Sometime soon I'll post some pictures of me hunting, eating salad while others ate hot dogs, and the kids I so dearly love.
