I started putting on weight about 5 years ago. It has been gradually going up, I could no longer get into any of my old clothes, so went up a size, I could no longer get into any of those, so went up again and again. I had a huge sweet tooth and simply could not resist creamy desserts or chocolate. I loved bread, good fresh warm bread...mmmm..

As I had tried everything without success I decided to try giving up sugar, I did not really believe it would work, but boy it made am immediate and unmistakeable difference.
I now rarely have sugar or wheat products. Since July 2012 (in 4 months) I have lost close to 20 pounds and feel really good after a long time.... Oh and I can get into my old clothes again (albeit my old "fat" clothes). I hope to lose the last 10 pounds over the next few months and keep it off.

My Goals:
My goal weight is 125lbs.
Ideally my waist around my belly button should be 30 inches or less...good luck with that one !
I would like to sleep better and have more energy during the day. Yay !
My Program:
I am doing my best to give up sugar in all forms and reduced my intake of refined carbs .Walk at least 6days a week. Keep hydrated. Sleep earlier. Do some kind of core strengthening at least twice a week.
That's enough changes for now. I'll look at this again in a few weeks to see if it's working.
11/9/12 -I started this journey sometime in July ( I started on SP in April but didnt really do anything about it till July). Since then I have lost close to 20 lbs which is a lot for me and I have learnt a bunch of things about myself along the way. I no longer have those intense frequent cravings for sugar or bread. I sleep well. I thought my inability to get to sleep and stay asleep was age related...but obviously it was not. My hunger is manageable and I no longer feel like my gut is being twisted out if I dont get something to eat every 3-4 hours.

I would probably not be going except my dad now is in the throes of dementia, maybe Alzheimer's, so I figure I'd better go now...
