HI
« on: September 18, 2010, 08:41:13 AM »
Hi, just bought the book-LOVE IT!  I am a nurse, insulin dependant diabetic, on CPAP and overweight.  Everything I was doing, trying to stay within the diabetic diet, I just kept gaining weight!  Started this life style change and wow I have lost 5lbs already and I have seen a reduction in my BS.  My motivation is my 21 yo daughter.  She is beautiful but has gained 40lbs suddenly and is overweight.  Prediabetic-WAKE-UP call!  I knew then the foods we were eating were not right for our body types.  Going to the grocery store today to buy foods on the right list.  I have combined walking in the am before work to assist with the weight loss.  By the way, I am 50years old and work in a very busy orthopedic operating room.  I need to lose weight and get in shape.  My health, my familys health and my career depend on it!

The recipe section is huge!If you can't find what you want let me know.The reason the program works is that we rplace your favorite foods we don't remove them.Tommorow I am working on pumpkin pecan pie and pumpkin bread and will be posting them next week in the thanksgiving topic. ;)Congrats on your weight loss!
