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. glad you got some time with your granddaughter. sleepovers are always fun, huh?

what kinds of snacks are tempting when she visits? maybe you can start phasing in stuff for your granddaughter that's less of a temptation to over-nibble . . . like carrot sticks, more fruit. just a thought.

That is a problem...it's hard enough buying the right clothes to fit and then to top it off you had to worry about shoes too!

Scales have been up for several weeks and I attribute it to lack of exercise, meds & too much eating out!

Mary Rose,


Glad to see you are feeling a little better and getting your treadmill time in 15 min at a time.


Sure you will be back to 135 before long. How did the golf fundraising tournement go? or is it still a few weeks away?


Have a great Thursday.


MARG
