It's quiet on the home front tonight. Had nice day. I visited a new friend and we really bonded. Helped her move her photos from phone to computer. Grandson stopped by, my new mattress arrived. Can't wait to sleep on it tonight Good day with food, not hungry at all. Diet is amazing because it balances your sugar and that…

Left early for mountains. Saw three condos, one was a super smart deal but the other I fell in love with. Rushing river visible in winter and late Fall off deck and you can hear it in the summer. Decorated so Cute. And it included all furnishings. I'd been told not to bother looking there was nothing in my price range, but…

My success just going 260 calories over plan today, but carb count was low so still expect a little weight loss. Will be walking a lot tomorrow. I resisted having a lemon donut when I went thru the drive thru. Made conscious decision (as opposed to not thinking about it until its too late) to wait till I reach 180 to eat…

Dr just released me to go back to Water Aerobics, so I wll go Monday. Going to be walking a lot this weekend and found a walking partner for the trails around her. Yahoo Katrena birgit - at our age, jogging isn't the best. Have a friend that ruined her knees. Walking is better and you can stop and enjoy the scenery. I…

Well, I dug myself out of the spiral of depression and got back on track today. I had gained from 208 to 228 but am following the 8 Week Blood Sugar diet and have already lost 5 lbs. It's really not about the loss, but it is encouraging, but it is about getting control of my life and health. After just three days, my…

Still lurking around. Struggling to get back on routine. Lot gong on in my life. On the positive side, I purchased an Infrared Sauna and use it everyday to try to detox. As a result, I am taking my meds regularly and have been able to come off some and to take more vitamins and minerals. Still trying to get food and…

No time to post. Costa Rica was great. So much food and so much walking I only gained a lb which I've lost. Took a few days to get back on track but toda was good. Will try to catch up later Welcome Jerome

obesity Warrior - My husband once told me he quit smoking 115 times before he finally quit. We can do this. Our health demands it Katrena

I'm back and appalled at the amount I gained since Thanksgving. Just totally went off and overboard. There's nothing to do but pick up the pieces and start acting like a responsible adult. The motto Practice, Practice, Practice can sure apply to me. Along with learning to discipline myself. Back on plan, preparing foods in…

Dalceridae Don't feel ashamed my late husband used to tell me that he quit smoking 100's of times until the last time when he succeeded. The important thing is you are trying and making the effort. This may be the final effort needed to succeed.. It's all about discipline. Anything that has ever been accomplished…

pneschich - So sorry that you lost your Mom and that your MIL is ill. Learn all you can about preventing cancer. Nutrition plays an important role as does emotions. I've read that cancer can't grow in an acid environment and most processed foods are acid producing. I am back on track. Lost 12 lbs but gained four back and…

pneschich - Good for you. My neighborhood had excellent results with the sleeve and has pretty much kept his weight off. He eats sugar and drinks but still keeps his weight off. I want to give this all my effort before I resort to that, but am happy for your decision. Last week I lost 12 lbs but gained back for total lost…

Started the eight week blood sugar diet Monday. As of today have lost 12 lbs Relatively easy to stick to (haven't been perfect every day though) and I've only gotten hungry a time or two. Supposed to balance blood sugar in 8 weeks. Feel better also. First time I have gone below 210 in three years Trinatti 2001…

Excellent idea

Kay someone the hardest thing to do is the easiest thing, to just keep on keeping on. Praying that your family has a better week going forward and that you remain strong The drum circle was fantastic and fun. Actually got a lot of upper body exercise as they beat the drums with a full hand using the elbow or shoulder. They…

Havent been here is a while due to health concerns. Gained one pound but starting over. Having surgery later this year to correct the problem. Have a plan\ Tonight I am going to a drum circle. It is suppose to enhance immunity. A lot of cancer thrivers (I don't have cancer) attend and it is also supposed to have other…

Have had to curtail exercise because of bursitis in hips. Need to walk in pool but can't get motivated. Looking forward to the weekend. Will go kayaking. Have company coming in. Will try to be more consistent in posting Katrena

Did well with food today. In fact, didn't even eat enough, but hey I'll take that for a change. Hopefully it will make up for yesterday, but consistency would be nice. Broke down and called an acquaintance about walking with me and called another friend and invited her to lunch. I also picked up my meds Nikion901 -Wish Dr…

Having a difficult time eating properly this week. I came off my anti-depression meds because I was feeling better but then the blues came back big time. Was trying to meditate and starting crying. Walking in the woods yesterday and started crying. I called in for a refill today and will get back on, just don't want this…

I fasted two, went very low carb 2 and will go back to fasting. I feel great. I'm going to do this as long as I feel good. Threw some juicing in on food days.

I did a kidney cleanse juice, cucumber, celery, blackberries, string beans (4) and half an apple. Tasted great and is healing to the kidneys. I don't have a problem with kidneys but article I read said if you have dry skin and hair they could need nourishing Tasted good

Had a successful day. I have been primarily fasting, not just for weight loss because I lose more when I eat, but to cleanse myself out and to get to feeling better. Without eating, except small amounts on non carbs and fruits, I feel so much better. I don't know if it's just getting the gluten out of my system or not, but…

Pretty much on plan. It started raining buckets last night so I couldn't walk. Today about a 5 lb loss. Allergies have kicked in so not feeling well. Tomorrow is a shopping trip with singles group. I really don't know any of them so hope I fit in. Today still working in house to get organized pinkstarberry - Congrats to…

I'm back again. Went thru deep depression after my husband died, but am coping well now. Just moved to new home in active adult community and meeting new people. Feeling the need to exercise more as everyone really6 is active here. Have started back to emotional eating, a habit I broke about three years ago. Havent been…

Have been planning all week to walk and/or do weights, but I have been distracted. I need to get my taxes done before I leave for Florida but before I can start I have to clean my messy ofice (I've let things go to pot since Jim passed) and get my paperwork organized so I can complete the taxes. I worked all day at the…

Missed water aerobics because I slept late and just couldn't get going but logged a lot of steps shopping with my friend that's visiting from Chattanooga. We went to a Movie Theatre that serves food and enjoyed My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, which was even better than the first. Funny and poignant. Yesterday, I bought two…
