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!!

hey Rosie what you are feeling is normal....we all get "tired" of plan, "tired" of eating to lose weight, tired of cooking special, tired of the center and weigh ins....etc etc etc....LOL---it hits most of us right toward the end.....you are only 16 lbs from goal...WOW


You must start wrapping your head around the fact you choose to eat great the rest of your life.

Mary Rose,


Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.


Good luck sticking to plan during this Holiday Season -- you can do it.


The year I started plan I started in April and then got a huge basket of chocolate for Secretary's day -- did not even eat a piece of it -- will power and moderation will get you where you want to be.


Sounds like you did well at your meeting/party the other evening.
