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,


Just a suggestion since the scale is not moving very fast have them measure you today at weigh in -- you may be losing inches.


Enjoy those resistance band workouts -- just think you are working to get stronger so you can pick up Maddie and your new grandchild on the way.


Have a great day! And WTG on resisting the cookies over the weekend!

So Karen...did your center suggest the veggie & starch change or did you change it up yourself?

My counselor told me to knock down all heavy starches, increase veggies if hungry and to eat 1 lite per day....but on the lite, she said to replace it with like LA hot chocolate instead.


My counselor said to basically eat like doing limited take off.....you are kinda far from goal...at about

Hey Rosie,


I had written a fairly long post to you earlier, and when I hit send, we had lost our server connection.
