Hi 2lose2gain- WOW you are a busy girl.I think I will go out tomorrow and see if I can't find the Zumba dvd maybe I can get my daughter-in-laws to try it with me. Their laughter would do me good.I found I am trying alot of new things lately that I normally would not have with this program.I'm learning to blog which the kids seem to think is hilarious.I keep telling them they haven't seen nothing yet just wait till I meet my goal.I tried the eggplant parmesan last night and enjoyed it.I look forward to trying the bbq chicken.I am surprised at how good the meals look it does not seem like a hardship at all to eat healthy.Have a peaceful evening.

Good Morning - Is that your pond in the picture it is absolutely gorgeous.I find Iv'e been cleaning out closets also.It must be a side effect of losing weight.What type of exercises are you doing? I bought a pair of hand weights to use for when a tv program comes on not sure what to do with them but I move them around alot or trip over them.I bought a beginning yoga tape which is not too bad and I do feel better afterward.I know I need to get more cardio just not sure if my body knows that.lol. I tried not to weigh myself so often but I noticed my clothes feeling too big.It was the inches coming off my middle that got me excited.Have a great day.

2lose2gain I am a Packer backer since I was knee high to a grasshopper.  Not only do I love the game but it brings back such wonderful memores of my dad and me watching the game together.  I even remember listeining to the games on radio while knitting a baby sweater and booties for my 31 year old daughter as my husband went out pheasant hunting.  I am from Kenosha and my husband is a HUGE pheasant hunter which left me at home many Sundays by myself.  So my love of football continued to grow as the years past.  Now if I would only exercise during a game or just exercise I think this 17 day thing would work.  so far I have missed 2 days of excercising, Friday and yesterday since I was down and out with a cold an laryngitis and today don't have too much energy either.  I know I have to do that and last week before getting sick I was faithful.  I need to get groceries this afternoon.  I will try to walk around the store with the cart and get some exercise.  Gooo Packers. 

Good morning- The ones we lose are never far from us.I bet your father is happy for you now.I introduced my Mother to this program she is a diabetic and she is already having to cut down on her insulin.She tells me she has never felt better.I know when I talk with her on the phone she sounds so good and is so upbeat. Have you noticed your  clothes fitting a little loose?Have an awesome day and enjoy your journey.

2lose2gain  Thanks for the message. good luck.  I can't wait to see your total loss on wednesday.  I am Italian and lost both my parents.  It is difficult but as time goes on, what they taught us and what they mean to us you will find will never be lost because they become part of what you do and say every day.  I am a grandma (nana now) and every day I am doing or saying something because of my parents.  Well, I walked for about an hour last night, up and down the halls of the hotel/convention center.  I found my sugar free yougurt, lemon and chicken and veggies.  I eneded doing very well according to cycle plan.  Have a good one and since I am a die hard Packer fan, Go Packers :)

Ok everyone, I changed my user name. If you read my blog, I explained that I am crazy. I meant my user name to be 2lose2gain. Isn't that good? As you lose, you are gaining, a lot. But, I accidentally put 2gain2lose. See, that's crazy. I'm not trying to gain and then lose. I have already gained, I'm trying to lose. Anyhow, it's still me. I just fixed my user name.

Hello, I started The 17 Day Diet  on yesterday. Day 2, my husband is participating also. I'm looking forward to looking and feeling better. I'm following the meals in the book; pretty tasty. The green tea is a task! Anything that comes to easy isn't worth having. I remind myself that my body is God's temple and I am responsible for its up keep. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.   

I buy my agave at Costco and find it also at TJ Maxx of all places.

Wow girl, love your honesty!  I am so sorry you lost your Dad, my Dad is also a diabetic and has already had triple pass.  I hope this diet will work for me as I think if I can get results before he comes home (he snow birds in Arizona) I might be able in get him to be more careful.  Well I've been married 25 years and have 5 sons-and now have 3 beautiful daughter-in-laws.  Did't raise them, but I thank God for their mothers for raising such wonderful women!  Raising teenager is .......ya it's hard.  All I can say is this too will pass, take big breaths and before you know it they will be grown and on their own.  Then you are gonna miss them like crazy!  The style thing, well you just keep on this new plan and you won't be able to help yourself, as the weight comes off you are going to feel better about your shape and I bet your style will emerge.  Hang in their girl I'll be here looking forward to hearing good things from you!

I don't know if it's just me or not, but on My Details under Location it bothers me.  I live in Kansas, but I don't live in Topeka, KS.  The other choice is Wichita, KS, and I don't live there either.  The reason it bothers me is not because I have anything against Topeka or Wichita, it's because I don't live anywhere close to either.  I would rather it just said Kansas or Kansas/Metro Area. All this sounds silly I know, but I don't live in Topeka...
