Good morning team. I want to thank you for the invitation to be here. I am a 63-year-old woman. I live in Baltimore, Md. I have two children (grown) and 5 grandchildren, 2 of which live with me with their mother and I also have my son with me. (Please pray that they leave soonemoticon). They really are a lot of help, so I am glad they are with me. I have been battling with my knees for a very long time. I am a candidate for knee surgery on both knees, which I have been putting off with cortisone Synvic injections. I started water aerobics a year ago which has helped tremendously with the pain and movement of my knees.

I have been with SP since 2007. I get bored very easily and when I do, I stop everything healthy eating, exercising and coming to this site. However, this time, I would really like to see what I would look like and feel, if I just keep up the journey. So I am going to push through and make it work for me.

So that is a little bit (maybe a lot) about myself. I am looking forward to start some challenges and see how I make out. I am going to do this one day, minute, hour and second at a time.

So again I say thank you and I am looking forward to chatting and getting to know this team.

find foods that work with YOUR body chemistry.

i make this mixture for breakfast , lunch and dinner. i have lost 34 pounds .

i cook 4 large portabella mushrooms sliced, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, 4 large onions sliced, 2 large green peppers, 3 cans green beans, 1 can rutabaga and 5 sliced chicken sausages. find foods that work with your chemistry. i created this meal on my own. i can't seem to loose weight if i eat any grain products. so one day i experimented.



it makes enough for at least 4 days, three meals a day. total cost is 12 dollars. i buy the mushrooms and chicken at sams club. sounds crazy but it taste good and most importantly it's working. i'm not hungry . if i feel the urge to cheat i go get a fork full of my mixture. i chew very slowly as to enjoy my meal.

i have added a small banana and grapes for my snacks and to be a fix for my sweet tooth.

you can add other foods into your menu. just know what works with your body chemistry.

I have gone from 198 to 164 pounds. i can now fit into a size 14 comfortably. i feel so much better. think of carrying a 2 year old around your waist every minute of every day. no i am not done. on the obese chart i have gone from being obese to just plain fat. my goal is to drop another 22 pounds. then i will be happy, healthy and never allow myself to get in this condition again.

one might say eating the same food every day would get boring. not true. when you look in the mirror and can see the difference it's worth

i went to the doctor. for the first time in a long time i was not ashamed to get on the scale. i did not have to get beet red because doctor said i was over weight. it felt GREAT.
