I have much more weight to lose than you do, and now maybe I will check WW online too.

I don't like that question - do you have another? he quipped, then added - It happens to everyone and no one likes it. I am that same weight today and yet my waist is now greater than my hips. There must be a physiological reason but it beats me what it is. You'll feel better without the 20 pounds but don't count on getting your waist back!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432035940956042729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-16729472618772476772014-04-03T18:52:32.088-04:002014-04-03T18:52:32.088-04:00just a short recent article of interest...

I'm making major changes too and when I return from California I'm beginning the 10-day Smoothie Cleanse. Not so much for the weigh loss, but just to see if I'll feel better and have more energy.

I have just been diagnosed with MS; it is going to change the way I do things but I want to do something about my weight! 15 pounds have just settled around my middle without my permission.

I became a member back when you had to eat liver once a week, tuna, make your own ketchup and flour out of dry bread crumbs, not the good old days! I have even become a lifetime member! I need to take care of myself and go back this week! I need some good vegetarian recipes to use once in awhile. I'm not a big beer drinker but one day after a bad day teaching first graders I announced I had 18 points left I could use them on quite a few light beers!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14505541275189830011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-89345639182724678552014-03-31T22:49:34.774-04:002014-03-31T22:49:34.774-04:00Yep.

That's why so many people weigh the same as in their youth but can't figure out why clothes don't fit right. They've lost muscle and added fat. By strength training we not only get stronger but increasing muscle mass also bumps up metabolism.Jaimiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10475656498180906020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-68174281935858045602014-03-31T16:40:25.484-04:002014-03-31T16:40:25.484-04:00Congratulations on making the decision, and doing ...Congratulations on making the decision, and doing so well so far.

It made it easy to pay attention to what I was eating, and now, two years later, the 15 pounds is still off. Although I rarely comment here, Hilary, I always read your posts when they pop up in my reader. Your bravery always astonishes me, and yeah, I would have shredded that picture, but you are much braver than me. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-39499696301220875982014-03-31T14:51:26.310-04:002014-03-31T14:51:26.310-04:00I feel the same way.. and we are taking a family p...
