    Thanks Wendy! I think mine are probably the same as a lot of you ladies.

    1. Eat foods I enjoy within my calorie allotment
    2. Break a sweat every day - preferably for 30+ minutes (most days it is 60 min)
    3. Weigh and log all my food and drinks, every day, whether above or below my calorie goal. Weigh and log my weight twice a week up or down. Compare the two if my weight was up to understand why.

    Okie.


    That's pretty much what works for me. :) Only I weigh myself every day to help understand my fluctuations.


    You look great!!

    Did the Firm Max Cardio DVD today. The plan for tomorrow is to do Debbie Siebers Keep It Up DVD (another new one)

    Katie – I’m so glad your son finally woke up. I’m sure that’s such a relief for you. You should be very proud

    Jess left to go to the DMV. I understand there are long lines because now because people have to apply for a certain type of license in order to fly starting in 2020. Plus, they say they usually are busier in the summertime. Update: she said the line wasn't bad

    Margaret – regarding losing weight fast releasing toxins, wonder what happens to people who have WLS? Perhaps these are minuscule toxins. But without the WLS, some people would be very bad off, so I guess it’s a tradeoff.

    Heather – is that REALLY you?????? Wowza!!

    Well, we got a new member for Newcomers so I emailed the webmaster telling him that I no longer have admin privileges and cc’d the president and another gal who is interested in getting new members on the website asap. Then I find out that the old membership application was on the website. It looks like he now has the new application on the website, but how many people used the old one? I hope not many. At this point, with all these problems and the president is just sticking her head in the sand, I really don’t have any desire to continue in membership. A while ago Vince couldn’t get into the website. Now the webmaster was very good and responded to Vince quickly. Vince tried what he suggested but still couldn’t get in. Then he was told to try something else and then could get in. But, really, this shouldn’t have happened. Vince mentioned how he couldn’t see the member’s interests and found out that this was custom code that the old webmaster did (the one who died) and the new webmaster can’t fix it. The president didn’t feel that many members used this feature. Well, just today I had a member mention to me that they couldn’t see this information. Now here is a member who would like to use this feature but can’t. Vince suggested using an outside firm to get this feature back, but nothing’s been done. Update: not sure who put up the correct application, but he emailed me saying that he'd take care of it (the application) when he got back from vacation. Have no idea how long he'll be gone. I just hope my admin privileges aren't custom code. Guess we shall see.....

    Rebecca – many times Vince and I don’t eat the same thing. Like tonight, he had this pizza bake thing that I made and I had soup and shirataki noodles. Vince likes thins PLAIN, I like some spice. So I make it with the spice and let him scrape it off. Yes, like a 2-year-old

    Sharon – welcome! Come back lots

    Okie – another wowza!!!!

    Barbie – so glad the MRI went well

    I am in Washington State also, east of Seattle near the foothills of the Cascades. Thankfully the worst of the smoke is gone today. We have clouds instead! 😪

    Trucker, I'm 68. I had by-pass surgery five years ago this coming December. You are so right, it does require a lot of changes in your eating. I lost 125# had both knees replaced after that and it's been a whole new lease on life. I'd do it over again in a heartbeat.

    Hang in there, find a good support group. You CAN do it.

    Machka - I weigh myself every day now for the same reason. While I was trying to lose I found the bumps up too disheartening to my mental health so only weighed twice a week. Thanks for your kind words!

    M thanks for that info. It was very interesting. It makes me think how does your body rid itself of pesticides and heavy metals. Chelation therapy I know is one for the heavy metals, but what about pesticides?

    I didn't realize how important respiration is in weight loss.
