Still going...

Just checking in to say that I am still off sugar...no cheats...but no more weight loss. I am hovering about 148.5. I was sick for a couple of weeks with a cold and I didn't get my exercise in, that is my excuse, and I am sticking with it! I did break down and buy some new jeans, size 8 and they are not skin tight....progress!

My daughter and family gets here on Wednesday night from Georgia. I am over the moon! I haven't seen Madelyn in 4.5 months. She is 5 months old!!! Time flies...so fast....

Hubby finally agreed to new living room furniture, now I am not embarrassed to take pictures in there....so unbelievably happy :)

I hope everyone...anyone??? is doing well!
Blessings :) K

New tables are next!

Such a nice change from the floral stripes...

Konner was being goofy, not really picking his nose :)

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

What a month this has been! Full...very full of wonderful blessings. My new grandson was born on the 19th. His name is Casen Henry or Hank. My son now has his favorite baseball legends....Cy Young and Hank Aaron. Cool right? If you love baseball!

We are spending Thanksgiving with my new grand and family. Both of my sons will be there, that makes me happy. My 2 daughters are back in Georgia.

After 18 years, new sofas! 

So, so, so happy to say bye bye!

Sharing with my sweet friend Linda :)

I have struggled with how I am feeling "too Blessed" lately, I'm not complaining...just always waiting for the shoe to drop. I need to have Faith!

P.S. I was 149.4....Finally broke 150....YAY!!! 

Blessings and Happy Scales....

150.8 SO SLOW!!!!

I just wanted to check in and say that I am still being a good girl, I still haven't had any sweets, not a single bite of candy or goodies, and I am still losing so slowly :( Boo.....

However...I feel better, I know I have lost inches off my tummy, my bulge isn't as big. I still can't fit into my medium size jeans...not large...those are now....not small....those were 20 lbs ago...but medium...the ones that I bought when I was going to lose back down the time before this....confused??? Note to self, quit buying bigger clothes!!!!

7 weeks and 6.2 lbs...but as my husband would say....at least the scale is going down......

It is FREEZING here in WA state, I am so not ready to freeze. I am always cold and we have the house set at 68. Poor K :)

I hope if anyone is reading this that they are doing well, happy and healthy!

Blessings and happy scales...

Madelyn Kay looking fashionable today :)

Happy Halloween!!!

I just wanted to remind myself someday that I did NOT eat one single piece of the 450 pieces that we bought for Halloween! Pretty darn proud of myself :) I also know that I would not stop at that one piece and my last month of getting sugar out of my life would have been for naught! Woot, woot!!!

Happy....

151.3

Today is 1 full month since I started over AGAIN with my BFC living. I have lost 5.7 lbs....Boo....but I will take it. It is coming off soooooooooooooooooooooo sllllloooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. However, I am not caving and I have not had any sugar treats. I even told myself I could last Saturday because we didn't go out to a BIG dinner, we went to a little dinner....by the time I was ready to order, it didn't seem that important anymore.
We even went to Costco again and I handed all my treats to my hubby.
So far, so good!
Woot, woot!!!

I don't know if I have mentioned this, but I am reading the Century Trilogy by Ken Folette (Pillars of the Earth) I am on the last book and I have been able to sit out in the sun and read this Fall and it has been glorious. This was a rose that was saying hello to me. It is chilly, but it is sure beautiful! 

Blessings....

152.4.............

I may be losing weight at a snails pace, but I am regrouping, relearning, and recommitting to being healthy once again. I have really surprised myself with my ability to say "no" to my trigger foods, and eat less of the food that I allow myself. I am back in the spinach groove, and I haven't bought any white bread or rolls for 3 weeks!!! Orowheat multi grain sandwich thins are back in my life. I dislike them, but I have to have bread! 

Yesterday was a day that I want to congratulate myself for! I only ate 3/4 of my sandwich at lunch...ever little bit helps...and I did not eat my popcorn at the movie. That was huge for me, I love to slather the fake melted butter on my popcorn, to the point of leaving grease stains on my pants, but I didn't! I also went all through Costco and handed off all of my goodies, including mini candy bars to my hubby. It is getting easier. And I feel better. I will be much happier in another 10 lbs, but for now, I am seeing some light! 

I am LOVING my Fitbit. It seems crazy that a little device that I wear on my wrist would make such a difference in my sedentary lifestyle, but it does. On Zumba days it is easy to get in 10,000 steps, but on my off days...it's a huge challenge for me. I find myself walking around the house in circles, saying BEEP, BEEP at the door to the downstairs where my husband is (I love to annoy him) and adding up those steps and minutes of activity. I feel better...that's the second time I have said that in this post! 

We went to see the movie Fury yesterday. War is hell, and we have such amazing men and women that fight for this Country. May God Bless them. My son in law goes to Ranger school on November 2nd, any prayers and good wishes would be greatly appreciated! I am so proud of him and my daughter for keeping their home and family going. 

We finally got all of our new appliances in and working. It took 4 times...yes 4 times...to get a refrigerator that was  not damaged in shipping. We went with the new slate color and I LOVE it. Since the granite never worked out, we went with new appliances instead. I have picked out a new refrigerator before, but never all new appliances, it was quite fun and exciting at 57 years old. My gas stove has a built in grill on top and a convection over feature. I have used that for almost everything I have made. Love it....but for anyone that might have a convection oven....I thought it cut the cooking time? It really doesn't for me? 

I feel happy....and it feels good.....The colors outside are beyond beautiful, though our weather is getting colder....I am not a fan of winter.

Blessings and happy scales.....

My grand Cadence and me.

New appliances.

153.2

I can't believe I am excited to get to this weight! I logged into myfitnesspal on 9/1/14 and I weighed 152.1. I gained 5 lbs until I started being good 2 weeks ago. I am a bit frustrated by the low amount of weight I have lost, but I will take it since I am going the right way...down! I can look back at old posts and see how bummed I was to be 148....I would love to be there again!!! I think at this point in my life, being in the low 140's will be a happy spot.

I have really surprised myself with good food choices, we still eat out a LOT, but I try and remove as many carbs as possible. We even went to Arby's before my son's football game on Friday and I did not have their apple crisp, which is to DIE for....literally :) That was a huge success for me. I also was home alone all day yesterday and I stayed on plan...100%... except I am drinking some diet soda. It seems to be a treat that adds to my meals. I WILL quit drinking it, but for now, it feels like a luxury.

My son, that went to 6 different colleges on football scholarships, is coaching our rival school's football team. It is a BIG deal, and I am so happy for him. There are 2 high schools in our district and he is coaching on the opposite one he played on, and they won!!! The 'battle of the bell"..it was one of his happiest moments. You want to watch your kids have success and happiness, and that was a very cool moment. I felt like a traitor because I had gone to the other high school too, but it was 40 years ago, so no biggie!

Matthew's the coach with his folder down the back of his pants!

His selfie before the big game!

I feel good, am looking forward to feeling better....How's everyone else doing?

I'm back...... :)

Well my friends, I have eaten my way up to 157 lbs! I was on a roll and I was loving every minute of it, until I realized I would have to be wearing jeans in the winter! My hubby bought me a Fitbit last Saturday, and I have been a good girl since Tuesday. Today I was down to 154.3. I started some really weird habits right before I got a grip, eating late at night, eating tons of candy and sweets??? WTH??? I never did that. I had to overcome every bit of my compulsion last night at 10:00PM to not eat. Weird. It's 9:16PM and I am starving right now even though I had a great steak dinner with spinach salad??? Crazy!

My facebook friends have seen my vacation pics, but my friend Linda has not, so here's some of my favorites. It was the BEST vacation and I want to go back and live there!!! I'm afraid it would NOT be good for my "girlish figure"!

See the moon too...Sunsrise :)

Happy Selfie with the best coffee flask ever!!!

Heaven's glow

I only had a 20x zoom, this would have been so cool if I had a better camera!

My view every morning :)

Famous Haystack Rock

My best picture ever!!!

So there are a few of  my pics, I had 130 printed and have a million more that are good. It was so beautiful and magical! I really believe that I see more beauty in things as I get older. If I can get a grip on my eating/weight, I will be blissfully happy!!! 

Blessings and happy scales.....

No miracle weight loss, but I'll take it!

I was down a whopping 2 lbs in 7 days....UGH.....I thought for sure when I gave up bread, cookies, cake, candy bars, diet soda, chips, ice cream....etc....I would magically lose 10 lbs! No such luck. I do feel better though. Honestly my belly is still there, but that 2 lbs made a difference in how uncomfortable it is. 

I missed Zumba today because our power went out at 6:00 this morning. This is the 3rd time in a month. It has gotten really old. Just about the time our ice maker starts working again, the power goes out. The first time was 12 hours, 15 hours, then 3.5 today. I think our power company needs to start upgrading some lines and transformers. 

I LOVE the original BFC, I am glad to see that it seems to be working again for me. The simple things in life :) 

Life at K's house is good, God is good, happiness feels good :)

I'm back....................................

Hello again :) I had my physical last Thursday, I have gained 10 lbs in a year :( I have gained 20 lbs from my low after starting the BFC. When she looked at my chart, I have weighed 143-144 for the last 3 years, until this year:( I weighed 153 lbs. She politely suggested that I lose the weight. The good news is that I have lowered my cholesterol to an acceptable level. That just makes me laugh!!! I have eaten worse and exercised less, in the last 2 months than I have in the last 3 years. And my cholesterol is lower??? I'll take it!

I went back to Zumba 2 weeks ago. I have gotten in my 3x a week for 2 whole weeks :) Believe me, it took every bit of will power to get there. EVERY single bit. It's a start. But I have had lunch plans several days a week, hubby and I still have date dinners, it's been an all out eating frenzy since before I left for Georgia. Honestly, for months.

So here's what I learned when I measured myself today. My arms and my legs have not gotten bigger. My boobs and my gut have taken on 10 lbs. My butt is only 1/2 inch wider than my waist. I am a true apple. Actually when I told my husband, he asked what fruit I am now, and I said I am a f!@king apple. Please excuse my curse words, but that is truly what I said. When I got my cholesterol results back (prior to my actual Dr. visit) and was so proud of the results, he said "yes, but she hasn't weighed you yet!" Yes, he is still alive.....I am forgiving of him because he has to listen to me complain all the time.

So.....what am I going to do? I am going to go back to the basics, or at least to the best of my human ability. I have lunch plans on Wed, and Thursday, but I think I can work around it. We are also going to the Oregon Coast the first of next month, and potentially a Mariner's game later this month. When I travel, all bets are off. I need to wrap my head around success. The good thing at the Coast is we are staying in a condo with a full kitchen, that way we don't have to eat out twice a day. UGH!

Because I know you will, please wish me good thoughts...I honestly hate this bulge that taunts me when I sit down. Winter and jeans are coming...........YIKES!!!
Blessings and happy scales....

Full heart! Baby Madelyn Kay, Karson and Konner :)

Hello my friends..............

I just wanted to check in and see if anyone was still around? I am going to be back, blogging and being "good" soon, I would love company!

I am heading to Georgia for the birth of my new grand Madelyn Kay. I am so excited to meet her. She is due on the 13th and they will induce if she doesn't have her by then. I just want to get there first at this point.

I have a shocker!!! We got all of our money back from the granite fiasco. I think his wife paid us out of her pocket, but we got it all back. 2 years and 2 months later. I am still in shock. It takes the sting out of the wait, but now it's a process to start all over. We feel totally BLESSED, the outcome is usually not so great.

I have maintained my weight between 148-150. I have done EVERYTHING wrong for the last several months. I will return to my good habits, I will.

Please comment if you are still out there, I really do want to start being good again and it is so much easier with "company".

Blessings and happy scales.....

My Mom, sister and me. I think we are turning a corner....to better understanding :)

Maintaining.....................

Well I would love to say that I have lost more since my last post on May 16th, but I haven't. I have lost inches, but I still have a long way to go. I have to say that I am being "good" even though I am so unbelievably frustrated. I have not followed all of Jorge's rules by any means, but I do stay within the 15/6 on myfitnesspal most days. I also have continued with my Zumba. I am not ready to give up yet. I just need to eat cleaner, and cut the white carbs. Those darn white carbs :(

For those that have read this blog for a LONG time, my granite ordeal is finally over. I am out 6000.00 dollars and my heart is filled with an ugly hatred. I am angry that my husband doesn't seem to want to do much, I am angry that someone lied to me over and over. I am angry because if someone told me they paid someone 6000.00 26 months ago and still trusted that person, I would think they were crazy. Like the saying goes, fool me once shame on you, food me twice, shame on me. Shame on me. I think more than anything, my heart just hurts. I realize there is so much more to life than this, but it was still a slam. HATRED is UGLY, so pray for me. I don't want to feel this way. I am so blessed and I know that mentally! Ugh!!!

So with those happy thoughts, Blessings and happy scales....................

Karson and his Daddy

148.5 Slowly moving down....

I wanted to share some challenges and successes for the week with someone, anyone??? Just kidding :)
Anyhoo....

We celebrated my little sister's 50th birthday at her nursing home on Monday. I made the mistake??? of getting her a small cake from the bakery that we purchased my daughter's wedding cake from. OMG! I had already prepared myself that I could have a bite or two, but I have NEVER tasted anything so good, or so full of memories. I honestly could have eaten a sheet cake. Thank goodness it served 4 of us, and I just ate a bit, but oh did I enjoy it. I was nervous that it would send my body into sugar cravings, but it really didn't, and I got back on track on Tuesday. Today I got home from Zumba and I was ravenously hungry, and I'm not kidding, ravenous! I had some Olive Garden leftovers in the freezer that I reheated and it calmed the storm. Hubby offered to go get pizza for dinner tonight and I said no.....NO????? What????? We had BBQ steaks and I had spinach with some cucumber and celery. (choked it down) That is HUGE!

We went to my grandson's baseball game last night and had eaten Arby's, so I figured I would be good today. I only eat the bottom bun, and about 10 curly fries. I am losing very slowly, but I don't feel in the least bit deprived.....so far!!!

Zumba 3x this week is a huge plus too. I found out today that they are redoing the gym floor again 2 weeks before I leave for Georgia and my new granddaughter. That means no Zumba for at least a month. Will I do something else? Let's hope!

Did I mention that my DIL is also preggers? She wanted to wait until 12 weeks to tell anyone and she is about 13 weeks! I am going to have 6 grandchildren!!! Just typing it made me sigh with happiness :)

I hope everyone is well and happy :) Blessings and happy scales...........

Aren't they the cutest ever?

Blessed!

3rd year of baseball and it's so fun!!!

149.2 Finally a drop :)

I am still chugging away at BFC and I finally feel like I am in the groove. It feels good, I feel good. Just about the time I get the weight back down, I will be headed off to Georgia for my new granddaughter...and then.....
I will start all over again......................................................

I went to yet another new girl to have my hair done today, she is 25, and my hair looks like a 25 year old. I love the cut, like the top color, but the bottom is dark, dark brown. I sent a pic to my daughter and she said that she didn't want to hurt my feelers, but I needed it fixed. Honestly????? I was there for 3 1/2 hours!!!! I LOVE being older, more "mature", but this looking good thing is killing me! And she has a salon in her home so I thought it would be less expensive? I have been paying 100.00, it was 125.00!!!!!!!!!! UGH!

So, with that I will say "good evening and have a Blesssed day tomorrow"!
Happy Mother's Day on Sunday!

My soon to be 35 year old son...how did that happen???

Day 11 and still hanging in!

I am very sad to say that I have lost a total of 2 lbs, but I am NOT giving up and I am not turning back to bad habits. I am just eating a way that I can do "forever". I have not had any sugar treats, and I am really trying to stay within the 15/6 BFC guidelines. I know I have lost a few inches, but it will be another couple of weeks before I can fit into my regular jeans. BUMMER!!!

BUT....I am happy, feel better, and know I am on the right track. It would be really nice if it was instant gratification :)

We have had 2 days of beautiful sunshine and I have sat out for about 40 minutes each day. I have a nice color going already and that makes me happy too. I love the sun!!!

Someone had posted on the 100 site that the 100 book was 1.99 on Amazon for the Kindle edition. I bought it and plan to look through it later. I seriously don't see how I could ever restrict my carbs that much, but I know some people do. I'm shooting for the lifetime thing! I am 57 years old, I want to get a grip :) I have about 2 months before I go to Georgia and then start this whole darn cycle all over again when I eat my favorite treats there! Ugh!

I feel HAPPY!!! Not skinny....but HAPPY :)
Blessings and happy scales.....

My Matthew and I at my birthday lunch :)

Success for 2!!!

Day 2, still hanging in!  Hubby and I went to Ivar's for fish today, but I only ate a couple of fries and 2 1/2 pieces of fish. It is WAY better than what I normally do. I have been doing this 4 minute workout from Dr. OZ's show. I did it twice yesterday and just once today. It is kind of fun and 4 minutes....piece of cake! Well not a piece of cake, my heart beat is still up there! I plan to get out the hand weights in a minute and do several arm exercises. I had an awful tummy today, I almost felt like I was in sugar withdrawals but it has only been a day, so I know I wasn't. I ate a whole bad of cadberry sugar coated eggs in 3 days. CRAZY!!!
Every day will get easier!!! Woot!

Belly Bad :( 

Our trees are so beautiful right now!

153.4 How did I get here???

Well my friends, today's the day to reclaim my life! I have to journal for me, I have to be accountable for me. I have got to do this. I am so miserable, not because I think I am huge, but because I remember what it felt like to be more fit. I have eaten my way through the weekend and it is going to be a journey to get back to where I want to be. Wish me luck!

Anyone else feeling the same way???

Blessings and happy scales!

Still haven't lost a lb :(

I am a little bummed, a bit sad, and big time disappointed that I can't get the scale to budge. I have continued eating like I did when I lost the 32 lbs the first time, but I think my yo-yo-ing has caught up to me. I am pondering which direction to go.  I know the key would be getting back to a regular workout schedule, but there is always something that comes up. I missed Friday because I had to have my hair redone. The gal made it way too blonde/orange and the cut was AWFUL! She put a glaze on it and added some dark back in, trimmed a few ends, and it looks just like it did before I went in the first place. It is REALLY hard to find a good hair person :(

The weather is still dreary, I am feeling dreary, I think I need some sunshine!



For all of you going wheat free, I am sure you have seen this blog, but if not, there were a lot of yummy looking recipes:

And with this negative Nellie post, I bid you adieu!

My grandson Cy watching his Daddy coach his H.S. baseball team :)

148 :(

Yep, I am a lb heavier than I was in my last post, I am 1.4 lbs down from when I started about 18 days ago. I am beyond discouraged and not a happy camper. To protest my displeasure, I didn't go to Zumba today! Doesn't that make a lot of sense to you???

I seriously have been "good". I have not had a sugar treat in 18 days, I have had many opportunities, including bunco and Dickies soft serve ice cream. I did not even taste. UGH!!!

It is warming up here and I am not going to be able to throw on my Northface fleece and walk out the door, having it cover a multitude of sins. I did this to myself, and now I have to un do it!!! A thousand curse words just went through my head!

Successes.....

We went to the movie Son Of God and I did not have popcorn with tons of butter!
We went to Dickies BBQ after and I did not have the soft serve ice cream cones!
I am eating spinach at least 5 times a week.
I have been going to Zumba 2x a week, today was a FAIL!
I have been eating a lot of protein....a lot!


The movie Son Of God was unbelievably moving. I cried through a lot of us, just because He is so forgiving. I love knowing the He loves me, sins and all. Fat and all too!

Let's do this people!!!

147... Baby steps....

Week 1 down! Successes?

1.  I did not eat any sugar treats, not a taste, not a bite. My sugars were low except when I would have a 1/2 of banana. Every once in awhile I just feel like a need a bit of banana, they are extremely healthy, they just have a lot of sugar:(
2. I did go to Zumba twice. We had a funeral in the middle of the week, so I could not go that day, but I could have gone the next? Twice was a success.
3. It's a week later and I still have my head wrapped around losing this weight again. That is a success to me, I don't want to let the power go.
4. I think I made it onto myfitnesspal every day. I may not log all of my food completely, but I logged on!
5. I lost 2.7 lbs!!!

I really was hoping that cutting the sugar would make me automatically lose 5 lbs, nope :( But...this week I am going to work a little more on cutting carbs. I am still eating out way too much, which I don't always make perfect choices, but they are the best choice for me. Small changes will add up!

For those of you who do not eat potatoes, I have eaten them almost every day. I grew up on meat and potatoes, will eat them until I die. I am willing to give up my white bread, I am not willing to give up my potatoes. Oh, I just thought of another success, I ate spinach almost every day last week! I had salad with my dinners, that's something I do NOT do when I am being a bad girl. My hubby accidentally bought Jalepeno bacon bits, instead of regular bacon bits and I will give them 2 thumbs up! They have a unique bite to them and add a lot of flavor on the nasty spinach salad!

Blessings and happy scales....

Hubby bought me headphones so he can listen to his rock music when we travel, they make me happy!

Today is the day people!!!

I am starting BFC fresh today! I have eaten my way up to 149.7 and I feel MISERABLE!!!
I am heading to Zumba, going back to basics, and I am actually excited. My horrible mood is due to the horrible things that I have been putting in my mouth.
If you are the praying sort, please pray for me to be strong, successful and determined! I did it before, I WILL do it again!
I am a sugar addict, plain and simple, I can't dabble. Thank God, I am not into alcohol or who knows what my drug of choice would be. Yikes!
Every day will be a step towards the scale moving down, and my health. Every minute is a choice, I need to make those moments count. I am turning 57 this year, almost 60 ;) and I deserve to be healthy!
Blessings and happy scales.....

Is anyone out there???

OMG, this has been quite the month. I had a great trip to GA, was sick when I came home, used every excuse known to man not to start eating right, have gained more weight, and  I am now truly miserable. I have not been back to Zumba, I have had every excuse for that too. Seriously worried about my mental health:(

Yesterday I was so hungry, I mean HUNGRY!!! I simply could not get enough food in my mouth, all bad things, and we didn't have staples like bacon to quell the cravings. I scared myself, and then I remembered that I had just finished taking the prednisone that had been prescribed for my sinus infection, and realized that some of the issues might be related. I have been so much better today, and we did go get my bacon, so I am prepared! It was scary to be so ravenous and be smart enough to know it wasn't normal. UGH!

I don't know when I am going to get back on track. I have been bad for far longer this time than my usual lapse. I told my husband that I wish that I could just sleep 3 days and get past the start over. 3 days without food would be a start!!! I think this weather, being sick, not working out, they have made me a bit depressed. I have to figure this out, and soon!

So...any who.....how are all of you doing? Anyone??? Hello.......

The one bright spot, I took my granddaughter shopping for a dance dress. This picture doesn't show how magical this dress looked on her. It made me teary. She had tried on some pretty "trashy" dresses and this was so her! She's a pretty one:) Glad that I am not raising her!!!!

YUCK:( 

145.7 Sigh....

Just a quick note to say that I was bad, but now I am doing better. I love Rosalie's class yesterday, I needed it! I have felt kind of yucky all day and I powered through, I am hoping it is just the s/c withdrawals and not the flu. My Zumba gals have been sick for almost 2 weeks. I'm going to GA next Wednesday and that will not work for me! I am really excited to see my daughter and grandson's. I even get a real bed this visit and not a blow up mattress! Woot!!!

Did anyone watch Jorge on Katie? On the new slim belly/hormone diet, you can have banana's 5 days a week, and whole wheat breads and bagels. 2 days either no or low carb and then 5 days higher? I may get the book just to see the big difference. I have missed my bananas and I know they are a super healthy food, so....just saying.

Nothing else exciting to add!
Blessings and Happy scales...................

How quickly I cave!

We had our last Christmas celebration on Saturday and I ate my way through the day! OMG, I seriously can't believe I have ZERO willpower. Cookies, candy, you name it, I ate it! I was going to restart Sunday and then I decided to eat more candy, then came today....I went to Zumba, I ate a good breakfast, and then....the day went downhill from there. Hubby and I just got back from eating dinner out. Tomorrow I am having my monthly lunch with friends and then Bunko. I am running out of time to lose 10 lbs and fit in my jeans before I leave for Georgia on the 22nd! I am focused now on getting my exercise in and cutting back on my sugar/carbs and calories.

After we opened our gifts on Saturday from all the family, my husbands Dad handed out envelopes of money with good wishes to put the money to good use. They gave all 4 families 2500.00 each. Can you believe it?My husband got really emotional, and I was stunned. My Mom had given us 50.00 each and it had made me VERY happy. The coolest thing is that my husband just gives and gives to my family, and he finally got something for him! I feel very BLESSED!

I have been reading a lot of the 100, and slim belly etc., groups. I just know myself, and I know that unless it is a medical necessity, I am NEVER giving up my carbs. I still think calories are a large factor in weight loss, so I would rather cut back on those. Did anyone see the science teacher that ate at McDonalds for 90 days and lost 37 lbs? He ate a nutritionally balanced diet with less than 2000 calories a day and he exercised 45 minutes a day. I do believe "what" we eat matters, but I also believe how much we eat does too. And that is from someone who just crashed and burned on her "cure"!!!

I will do this, trust me :)
Blessings and happy scales!

Love, Love, Love these two:)
