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!!

Wow that BP did take a nose dive....be careful with yourself!


You are working too hard. It sure interfers with life doesn't it?--LOL--but heck we got to pay those bills..LOL-----I am still looking for the free ride in life, hmm..will I find it??...HA


Truly Rosie when faced with all that holiday food....say to yourself, YOU CHOOSE to eat the best healthy menu you can and avoid the other delish, but heart clogging, heart stopping greasy, surgary foods BECAUSE you WANT too.

hey, rosie! just wanted to pop in and encourage you. don't get discouraged 'cause your loss isn't on schedule as you'd hoped. few of us lose 2 lbs a week every week. you've done an amazing job so far. just stick with it and those lbs will eventually come off. but don't let the discouragement send you into overeating to cope . . . it's not worth it! you've come too far!!
