I thought I would bump this to update this that it took me a year, but I've gotten to 55 pounds lost!
Shopping has definitely gotten more fun

My DH, while happy for me, is maybe not liking my new shopping addiction...especially since I still have lots to go!
There's a really good hamburger place about a mile and a half from us. On the weekends, to make the hamburger worth it...we walk there!! I think doing some kind of exercise to get something you really want, definitely helps!
