| Curves As many of you know, I've been struggling with my weight for a long time. Unlike many of you in the weight loss thread, I needed to lose 120 lbs. In Dec. I went to the doctor and my cholesterol was very high. I decided to "take the bull by the horns" and get healthy again. I go to Curves (which I love!) at least 4 times a week, and even went when I was in Mexico! I'm proud to tell you I have lost 26 lbs. and almost two dress sizes! I am eating non-fat cottage cheese, yogurt, fruit, vegetables, more chicken and fish and a lot less red meat. Every now and then, I will treat myself when we go out. Yesterday, we went out to dinner and I ate what I wanted. The difference is...now I WANT different things and I can't eat a whole plate of food! My knees already feel so much better! Now if I could just get rid of this darn heel spur! Its always something in your late forties!!!!!! Look for me in next year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition!!!!! |

| My goodness, you're doing great! Why don't you come and join the thread for "Lifestyle Changes"? This is for the rest of our life so it's not a diet. It's close to what you're doing now. Come and read the thread and if you're interested, PM Jaspers Mom (Glad) and give her your stats. We'd love to have you. We have others in our group who have a lot of health problems and that's a big reason why many of us are here. Come check us out!

| Way to go, Deb! You've got half the battle won just by thinking the right way. Then you start doing it the right way. Then, it's really easy! We're proud of you, Deb and we know it isn't easy. Just take one day at a time. Keep up the good work.
