I've lost 11pounds so far. And I feel  very very good!   Now if I can get mom not to buy sweet things like cookies and such.  She can't figure out why she's not losing weight. Oh well I will keep trying.

Thanks umpa. And Doug I will for sure not eat anymore pie!  It made me sick. 

I walked up to my moms house for the first time in over a year. It's not very far from my house but for someone who couldn't walk it was a long way. I got a. New pair of walking boots   Yesterday which helps. But being able to breath without assistance is wonderful. I've also lost 2 more pounds. Yeah!!!  I don't think anything or anyone is going to stop me this time.

Hi Doug  well maybe not all of it is water. But I have a tendency to have a water problem. I'm on 3 water pills a day. Yikes!  My hope is to get off of if not all then most of the medicine I'm on. I know I can do it with y'all help. I feel excited haven't felt this way for a long time.

Watching james bond movies. Are beans good for you?  I like them. I got some chicken tenders ( no breading). I'm going to have them for dinner. I've now lost 7#'s. Yeah!!!!!  I can't believe that so little weight lost can have such a big impact.

Thank you umpa and everyone for your kind words.

Just got back from shopping. I can report that a lot of the time was spent reading labels. Went down the candy isle and all I saw was Sugar Sugar! Everywhere!  I never had looked at the store items specially candy before. It was amazing. Went out to lunch and was very. Careful what I ordered. All in all I had a good time.
