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!!

Mary Rose,
Had a whole post typed out last night -- but for some reason it did not post.
Just wondering if you ever thought of averaging your weight for the week and then comparing week to week to track your progress? I took a book out of the library The Carbohydrate's addict book and they suggested doing this since day to day the scale can fluctuate for so many reasons including dinners out -- basically you take your weight Sunday to Saturday add them all up and divide by 7.
Hope your grandson is continuing to do better.
WTG on starting on your holiday shopping already.
Hope your Monday went by quickly and as smoothly as a Monday can.

Hi Marg!
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.
Hi Mel!
I don't have too much control over Thanksgiving.
Hi Rosie,
I've been reading your journal about all that Drew is going through and I just feel for both his parents and for him (and for you, of course).
Hello Carol!
So good to hear from you.
whew, sounds like a challenge at bil's house to eat healthy. great idea on the salad. then you'll have something to munch when everyone's loading up on junk. if you just simply can't resist some of your favorites, try to have them in small bites only. just to sample them.

Mary Rose,
Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving.
How is Cecil doing back in weight loss mode? surviving? (actually going to try and get my DH on a diet real soon -- he has an annual check up at the end of January and I am sure he would love to be 10 lbs lighter by then).
