Greetings ladies. My blood sugar was 98 today, first time in years it's been below 100. I feel like I'm making a little progress. It's very hard for me to take any exercise but I try to walk when I can. Doctor today, probably need colonoscopy to rule out any pathology worse than irritable bowel syndrome. RA, hypothyroid,…

Greetings all you wonderful ladies. It;s cool and damp here in NNY which is not kind to my RA, but I'm on prednisone again and that helps. It also drives my appetite into high gear, so I'm struggling with that. If i don't gain these next ten days I'll be really doing well, so we'll see how my resolve endures. Everybody has…

I believe you need to allow for a little cheating now and then. I allow myself one "free" day a month, this lets me not feel guilty on holidays, birthday etc. I try to stay at least 200 calories under every day anyway.

Up at 5 AM to take my dad for colonoscopy -- long day trying not to eat too much. He's fine. My arthritis is acting up, cold front coming in. It stinks being a barometer. I wish I could get some of the energy I saw in a three-year old at the hospital today, adorable little boy who must drive his mama crazy, he isn't still…

Out for monthly lunch with fellow retirees from my job today, Red Lobster (sucker for shrimp). I actually managed to stay under goal (made myself only eat one of those delightful biscuits, how's that for willpower). My personal diet procedure includes one "free" day a month where I don't worry about dieting, but does it…

Thanks for kind words and encouragement, lost my first 2 pounds, hoping for many more. Jane in NNY

Hi, this is my first post, I joined four days ago trying once again to do something about my weight. I've been overweight all my life and have severe health issues including a recent pulmonary embolism. I need to lose weight without surgery because I'm not a good risk, so here goes. I wish everybody the best. I live with…
