WOW! That is great news. So how much weight have you lost so far? I just finished cycle 3 and started over on cycle 1 three days ago. I have lost 24 lbs. so far. Keep us posted.

That's is wonderful news for you, and  it's also very encouraging to other members.  Good for you that you're off the medications.  I do wish you luck!

That is FANTASTIC NEWS! Good for you!  I am so excited about the health changes- it really confirms that this is the right thing to do- it's about getting healthy!  Have Great Day I'll be thinking about you and smilling!!

Fantastic! Glad to hear that you are back with us and doing so well. Here's to your health and ours.

Wow! I logged onto the site today because I was thinking about you and I saw this post. See? This works! Not only for weight loss but for health. And it's really not that hard to follow. I always thought people were a) lying  b) crazy when they'd say gooey desserts didn't even appeal to them. But, I'm finding that to be true. I used to LOVE bread. Now I just look at it like it's cardboard with calories. I might take a bite or two of dessert but that doesn't really appeal to me like it used to. I guess there are no more 5 pound boxes of chocolate in my future!! Have a great vacation! I'll be anxious to hear how you did once you get back.!

Thanks you ladies for all your wonderful comments. This road has just began and I am gonna do my best to keep it up. I am not saying this result will be for everyone. I am just saying it happened to me and surely it can help us all stay motivated to live longer.  LOL.  Let's take one day at a time and be grateful we have it  ♥¸ . ♥¸ .♥

Congrats on the the cholesterol number!  I forgot to check back in on May 15 but I did succeed with the challenge!  I lost 17 during the challenge time for a  total weight loss so for of 73 pounds!  How did you do?

Did any of you see Dr. Oz yesterday? They were talking about the dangers of refined carbs and said carbohydrates are more addictive than cocaine!

Awesome !  You will do it !  I am working on my cholesterol also. Doing blood work soon. Dropped some each week for the last four weeks but slowly. At least not gaining. Sometimes only part of a pound. This week looks to be good. Somewhere between 2 and 4 pounds. Keep yo-yoing on the scales but water weight could be the reason, who knows. At least I'm loosing again. Really proud of you. Wow, good life choices ! Good job! 

Hi Everyone. Happy to let you all know, was so pleased to hear Ishabazz Cholesterol numbers were down. Mine has dropped also, in the last 3 months and Dr. said results were good. Still have to keep going. Says are at risk for diabetic, but not  a diabetic yet. My Grandmother was a severe diabetic most of her life, and hopefully making right food choices, I and many of you won't have to deal with that. When it is hard to eat as I should, I am going to try and remember why I am doing this. It is to be at the best health I can be at every day and to be able to do the things I want with my life, as I age.  

Hi Tecand,

Congrats on your cholesterol numbers being down. Wonderful. I have added exercise while on vacation and it has made me sore and feelin better. I wish I would have done this earlier LOL.  Glad to almost be back home. Still have another 4 days than home again home again. Hope to hear from you  ♥♥¸ . ♥♥¸ .♥♥

Hi Bella Bear Girl, I will not be home for another 4 days. This vacation has been such an eye opener to me and my body. I am glad I am listening more to it. LOL. I added exercise and thru the pain LOL. I feel better and have energy. Down a few pounds too. 

I did go to Carmel for lunch and that was a struggle. Now I feel like you about bread and desserts. Last night again we went out for dinner and I did so good. Pat on my back. I left the rice and breads alone. I found while reading they are not good for us so checked that off. Desserts have always been my obstacle not anymore. I guess once I sat down and started reading all about the contents in what we used to eat I realized I eat alot of sugar and that is DEAD......  Not for me anmore. Praise the Lord.

I also realized when I got bored. Yes even on vaca you can get bored and angry I reached for food to comfort me. Not now. I see how that has been bad for me. I just got to deal with my emotions better. So now I exercise to fill that void.  Hope to hear from you soon. Sorry I got long winded. Just happy to see you online.  ♥♥¸ . ♥♥¸ .♥♥
