We might not quite make it, but every item lightens the load. And, we haven't missed a thing so far. <br /><br />As far as losing weight goes, you gained it a pound at a time and losing it (and keeping it off) must happen the same way. Start with small changes. For example, no second helpings and add a 10-20 minute walk daily. Congratulate yourself for every victory and don't worry about how far you have to go but that you are on the right road. Regardless of speed, if you are on the correct road you WILL reach your destination.<br /><br />Deannahttp://weddingdressblue.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1404478367004382124.post-52328699692691748322014-08-31T19:28:57.187-06:002014-08-31T19:28:57.187-06:00You've given a lot of thought to your goals - ...You've given a lot of thought to your goals - good luck with them. I post my goals and report my progress to keep myself accountable, and it helps me a lot. <br />I was motivated to lose weight before my son's wedding because I didn't want to look like that in the wedding photos. I did it all on my own, with easy lifestyle changes, including eliminating all chips, sugary desserts, and second helpings; counting calories; and later adding exercise (mostly walking on a treadmill at the gym). I have kept it off for 4 years now. <br />I hope you can have the same success with your weight, and with all your goals. Keep us posted!

I started in one room of the house and I spend an hour of my housework time each weekend going through whatever cabinets I can. There are 3 piles, trash, recycle (Goodwill), and keep. After 4 bags of trash and one to Goodwill, there is actually space to store the "keep" stuff in our bathroom. just too more shelves to clean up and I can move on to the next room.

I also have too much fabric, I am planning on using as much as I can in the next 20 years!<br /><br />I have also gained a bunch of unwanted pounds and need to lose some weight. Quilting isn't a very active hobby!<br /><br />What helped with our storage issues is that we told our kids that they had two weeks to come get their stuff or it was going to the thrift store - it worked!<br /><br />Your goals all seem doable - wishing you much success.Dee Deehttp://deedeequilts.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
