Hello Everyone, I think I finally got this weight thing under control. I have lost a total of 3 lbs in one weight. Just working out in the pool and watching carbs not calories. The funny thing is I am not hungry much and have to make myself eat most time. I will not be on line much maybe once a week due to cutting back on…

Hello , Everyone been busy trying to start a business counseling, although I am considered disable. I tired to work for a few days but my back pain would not allow me to work much. So , I guess I have to accept I am really disable and my body prevent me from working. So, I guess I will just do volunteer work to keep myself…

Well, its Friday and I am so happy to report others are saying I am losing weight. Now my scales are not saying that but if others can see it something must be happening. Next, I no not know if I mention I walk with a cane. It use to take me 30 minutes to walk a mile at the inside track at the local gymn now it takes only…

A great day, look like my belly is getting flat again. I did not work out today and I do not count home whole walking or library walking. I did not get all my water in today due to some life stressors but the good thing is I yell and scream but did not feed the emotion like I normally do. So hooray to me I am not emotional…

Hello Ladies, I went under my calories yesterday which result in a headache last night. I only had 800 calories all day it did not feel bad until I got the headache.

Thank you ladies for all the input . I must increase my calories at meal time and limit my snacking. Today for breakfast I only had 160 calories and no carbs. I have to keep trying this until I get my mind into it. I think some of the challenge is having to eat meat a lot, I was vegetarian for 8 years. Which most of my…

I notice less night sweats but I am also taking St. John Wort to stabilize my mood.

Wow, I love the almonds but realize they are and issue for me, I will not stop eating them once I purchase. So, I had to put them out of site out of mind. Hide in the deep freeze , I will like to try some of he coconut oil for cooking. One thing for sure is figuring it out is a lot of work.

Okay, I went out today and got sugar free ice cream because it is hot and I love it. I forgot myself not to get mash potatoes because I love them so much. My breakfast was fill of only 249 calories and 0 carb. I totally crashed around lunch time and had to have something in my mouth. My fault I should have packed a snack…
