    Thanks for your response. Yes, I have been "dieting" all this time. Usually I am under my calorie allotment but too high in sugar. I only get 33 grams per day and my 1/2 grapefruit in the morning uses 11 of those. I like fruit so my sugar is always too high. I have just added protein whey shakes to boist protein on the advice of my trainer. The exercises I do are:
    squats three sets of twelve, bench presses 45 lbs, hamstring curls 20 lbs, crunches 70 lbs. pull-ups 12 lbs bicep curls 12lbs, triceps, lat pull downs... all sets are repeated three times three days a week. My trainer says I do alot better than some much younger people. He is so attentive and supportive. I wouldn't be so faithful about working out if it weren't for him. I walk on the treadmill for 20-40 minutes. I think that's my weak point. He would like me to walk more. Aaargh!
    What is the name of the book you recommended about strength training?
    I have real sugar cravings and think I am addicted by the way I respond to them. It's an almost automatic response when sugar is put in front of me. Once I start I don't stop.
    Thanks again for your interest. I am so impressed with the way every one is so supportive of one another. This is a very nice list to read.
    The book is "Lift Like A Man Look Like a Goddess." I'm 59 and I lift. I modified the program recommended in the book because of old knee injuries from competitive team sports.

    My hard hat is off to you! A wonderful accomplishment!

    Good luck, to you. I bet you will be pleasantly surprised. The book looked good, think I will order it. I really need to settle into a lifestyle instead of being my own worse enemy. I am a patient person by nature but seems that I am less patient with myself. It is a journey and I just need to find happiness there. I look forward to the day that I can post something similar to your post. Thanks again.
