Hello everyone! I'm in the middle of week 3 and I thought I better start one of these journals to keep myself in line. I tried to start one a few weeks ago and I screwed it up somehow so I'm starting over! Here's a little info on me. My name is Mary Rose, age 50. My husband and I are doing this together. We both have hit a 50 age crisis! Him more than myself. Ha! Sleep apnea, HBP, family diabetes, etc. I've had HBP for 23 years and I don't think that will change much. We had a major loss in our life 26 months ago when we lost our 20 year old son. He was in an auto accident and he died from injuries he sustained in that accident. I'd say we started the uncontrollable eating, eating out..I'm sure you know what I mean. SO..here we are. Thank God we're doing this together! It's so much easier. My goal is 54 lbs. and his 80 lbs. A NEW LIFE!

Memorial weekend was very hard on us. I did okay but it was hard! He didn't fair as well. He was the cook at our nephew's graduation party and you can only imagine how that went. He's been a snacker while he cooks from way back. He's definitely paying for it now. We weigh in tonight and he's not thinking it's going to go well. I don't think I've lost my 2 lbs but I don't think I've gained either. We'll see.

I'll be back because I've got a long way to go!!

Hi Rosie,


Yeah, I think the only arthritis that shows up in blood work is rheumatoid arthritis - and that is a whole different ballgame.

hey, rosie. didn't realize you were in indiana. mind if i ask what part? indiana is my hubby's home state. we don't get there too often. big drive from tennessee!

glad you are taking in all the advice, and are ready to make this work for you for a lifetime. it takes commitment and consistency. you can do it! just don't slip back into old habits. and when you notice them creeping in, stop. stay on your toes. :-)

MaryRose,


Hope you had a good time with your friends tonight.


The soup sounds good.


Hope next week is better for you -- this week flew by at work for me -- so hoping for a slower/quieter one next week.
