Well, my husband and I decided that we wanted to be healthy this year. No mention of dieting. Just maybe walking to start feeling better. Keep up with the grandkids and be able to work around our small farm without getting winded and "run down". He needs to keep his health up because of kidney failure, dialysis and being on the transplant list. I need to be healthy for him (ok, and myself) and I'M the one that needs to lose. (I hate to even say it but 100 lbs.!!) I carry my weight evenly all over so its easy to"hide" that I'm that much over. Plus, there are alot of things that I can do that having the extra weight doesn't hinder me. ( In October, at 51 years of age, I was up on the roof of the house repairing and replacing shingles. But it does take its toll.)
So, this morning I get up and turn on the tv (which I never do) and Dr. Phil is on (the channel I was watching before I went to bed last night.) The 17 Day Diet????? Alright, why not. Destiny? Maybe. Something has to change and possibly this will be the catalyst. The "worst" that can happen is I lose $35.00. (Heck, I've blown more on less before.) But the best that can happen will be life changing for me.
Accountability may be the key. So, I'll either be back to post some more and have exciting news or there won't be another post at all!
Start: 5'7" 258 lbs. Book should be here within the week. In the meantime I think I'll go for a stroll!!!

mommasita i can relate to you! I am a dialysis RN so i know what you go thru. maybe this blog thing will help us all! good luck and God Bless
Hi Mommasita, sure sounds like me! lol...I have to lose about 50-60 lbs. I am so uncomfortable at most times, no matter what I do. I maintain my sense of humor, because if I dont, I will definitely lose it. I am at my heaviest that I have ever been and intend to change my lifestyle. I guess I will be doing a lot less baking, cooking now! My husband wants to lose weight as well, although I dont think he has to. When I turned on the tv today, I caught the last 15 minutes of the show, and immedietly logged in. Good luck in your journey to lose the unwanted. It will be a wonderful new years resolution for us. Take Care Mommasita
