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


no stress allowed now....you did your time....weight loss phase is over soon....just smile as big as you can!--you did it and so did Cecil.


mind must change over to maintenance now.


do not worry about 1 lb or anything else right now.


You WILL continue to trim up in maintenance.

Mary Rose,


Hope you get your work problems resolved.


I hear you about getting up at 5 -- had to get my DH off to the train this morning --6:18 train.


Hope you have a chance to get to weigh in and can start stabilization -- though as you mentioned in your other post -- maintenance still take work-- you still need to be aware of what you eat and keep up the exercise.


Off to start my day..Have a good one!


MARG

I know that everyone is on the edge of the seats wondering if I choked the counselor or not yesterday.
