I will give it a whirl I guess. Not like I need one more thing on my plate, but my winter pants are too tight and I am getting out of breath too quickly.
You can do it WVDek... we're all behind you....

My grandson scored a goal! Yeah!

It wass raining here today. I hope it doesn't rain this afternoon so I can get my bike ride in.

I have done fairly well with my weight loss. I'm down 40 pounds only 35 more to go. At least I'm past the half way mark. Once I lose this I would like to keep going. I would like to be down to 135 by the end of Feb.

It is so nice to read about everyone's struggles as I don't feel like it is only me. Whether is is 2 or 200 pounds we all seem to face similar demons.

My doctors want me to work a no carb diet. Meaning they only want me to eat Dark Green and Leafy veggies. So I am doing a modified Atkins. Been with it a week so far, hanging in there. It is not so bad. I can have a portion of meat or fish and Asparagus; Brussel Sprouts; Mixed Greens for salad; Green pepper; onions and mushrooms, so far. It hasn't been that bad. I don't use sugar so I am ahead already. I am not allowed any grains at this time. Need to lose at least 60 lbs. Want to get back down to a size 16, which is what I was 2 years ago. Currently a size 20 and it is depressing. On a good note, I put my jeans on and HAD to wear a belt and guess what. I put it down two notches. Whoooohoo

You're shrinking :D That's always encouraging...even if the scales say you're not losing
