The reality that a year working with a dietician was going nowhere, along with the deteriorating overall health, convinced me I needed to do something else.

  • Is it the usual holiday blues or what? I did great "considering" at Thanksgiving but then "gave it up" on Saturday for "just one day." Well, now I want to find that motivation I had when I started. One NSV is that I had tremendous bloating this past weekend that def. confirms that I am one of those people who can't…

  • Wow guys, great!! I like your 5 min. cut on time around the track bm1409. I use to run and walk until a good year ago when I overdid it planting trees. Too much activity caused my back to hurt too bad. Soon I too will be timing myself. Prob. start with the treadmill, slow! Yesterday I tried on a pair of pants that fit 2…

  • Hi Again! Do you like butternut squash or acorn squash? if you haven't tried butternut squash soup....you gotta try it...keto friendly and quite festive. Also Acorn squash. I was afraid to try this for ever. I finally did; I am 52 and now I can't get enough of it!! This is the year of the squash for me!! So turkey and…
