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 Mel!


I wish I knew what I could do about the aches & pains...I don't want to take any medicine unless it's CHEAP!!

thanks for asking, rosie! i'll be heading up the dept. i've been a part of . . . very cool. it's in the techy side of librarianship, so i won't bore you with the details. but i am terribly excited about it. the dept is doubling in size, so we have the sizeable team we need to move forward. so i'm moving more into the administrative side, but still a fun area that i love! it's hard to let go of my current job, but i have to move on to grow in my career and embrace new challenges. :-)

Hi Rosie,

Just popping in to say "hi". I'm back and I really need some support and motivation to get back on track.

I'm amazed and impressed at how well you adjusted to maintenance. I wish I would have done the same.

Hopefully one of these days it'll sink into my brain and I'll figure it out.

Well, it's getting late and I need to get to bed.

Have a great Monday!!

Mary Rose,


Glad the Dr is going to try to see why you are having so much back pain -- so sorry to hear Cecil was sick -- hope you did not catch it.


Happy Wednesday -- are you guys weighing in tonight?


These weeks are passing by quickly.
