I've been pretty discouraged with my numbers all along. They are never where I want them to be and always seem to be just barely hovering where they are - not stable by any means.
I had a huge realization about the scale numbers tonight actually. I've only lost about 8 pounds since July, but I can now get into almost everything in my closet. Things I've not worn in four years. Things I had kept just for sentimental reasons.
I had a bit of meltdown after trying a few things on because I have been so hard on myself thinking I'd made no progress whatsoever. But I have. And it's all in inches!! And I will take a tinier new wardrobe over the numbers on the scales anyday!

who's birdie?
Birdie is just an old nickname I had back when my hair was super short. Most people around here know me as Adora. But my friends who really know me call me Mandy. Confused yet?
Yeah, I should probably suffer from multiple personality disorder.
This is the place where I've documented my journey to being healthy. I have struggled with being healthy my entire life. I adopted poor eating habits I learned from my family and their inactive lifestye. After reaching an all time high of 205 pounds, I decided to change things for good. For a long time I focused soley on the numbers. I lost 50 pounds in a two year period. I'm at a comfortable place now and I've chosen to give up chasing an elusive scale related goal and instead focus on my eating habits and fitness. Here are my stories, my struggles, my advice and my opinions. I hope that you'll find something here that motivates you to be healthy too!

Sweet!! congrats on your revelation! Sometimes we get so attached to the numbers on the scale that it can drive you insane! I'm in the same spot. I've only lost about 10 lbs since last Christmas but my clothes are WAY smaller!
PS I totally had to look up the spelling of Jake's name too. I googled him ;)
Congrats on losing inches!! We can't always keep numbers in mind...
Re: the squash, I can answer that as I have only made it in the oven.
Did you not like it? What did you have it with? I always eat it like spaghetti with sauce.
WOOHOO for clothes fitting again! Isn't it the best feeling? Congrats!
