Everyone is losing weight

My daughter and I shared eachothers clothes back when she was in highschool. I was about 110 pounds then and am about three times that now. My daughter just turned 41 in October. I am really proud of you PQ. It isn't easy but you sure have made it seem so. I love raspberry yogurt. And Blackberry Harvest is Yum too. Your SIL is doing well too. That is just great! My grandson, my daughter and I are all heavy in our midsections. My daughter is getting him to go for a walk most nights before they go to bed. I don't find any canned chili that I like except Wendy's. I am glad my family has no heart trouble history in it. Just the mental woes. I am truly glad you and your family are doing so well. Changes in my lifestyle? I am trying to eat more vegs and fruit. I don't think you can get enough.

In 2009, I had a pack a day Pepsi habit and it was hard work, but no longer have that habit and it sure was a lot of calories every day. I lost weight quickly when I stopped drinking lots of calories every day. I try to do some kind of exercise every day and sometimes its dancing, which helps me lower stress.

Well, we are traveling right now. At my daughter's we do not overeat, but on the road we eat out more. We have been eliminating any restaurant or fast food meals. I have been making more salads at home, made from dark leafy greens and spinach. I often pack soup for my work suppers. While I have been doing those things I have felt really well. One of the meals we ate on the road was Subway and you can get so many vegetables on your sandwich it is really delicious and healthy. I guess I would say I am eating more fruits and vegetables and eating lighter. I have not weighed.

wow that is absolutely wonderful that he is doing so well. Good on all of you. It is easier too when the whole family is on a diet.

Good for you! I'm proud of you. My dad has lost 20 pounds, and he's doing well. I'm proud of him. With my mom how she is, he's been so stressed. And he does stress eating a lot. He gets plenty of exercise since he is always on the go. My problem is exercise. I HAVE however started adding more veggies to my diet. I get plenty of fruit, I drink lots of water, but I have a hard time putting veggies in my normal day to day diet. But I'm making more of an effort, and maybe you'll understand what I mean when I saw I feel "cleaner" on the inside because of it.

I have a tendency to overeating and I see I get fat really quickly. I want to lose some weight so I don't look chubby on my photos. Last year I tried to do fasting. I skip rice and just eat small portions of food and it trims quite fast. I also into a lot of easy low impact exercises to loosen up my muscles. I also love preparing fresh fruit and vegetable salads now and as much as possible lessen processed foods in the diet.

I'm eating way less meat than I used to. I've been eating more chicken and fish and less pork and beef in the past few years but now have even cut down on that. I woke up this morning to the smell of bacon cooking. I went into the kitchen to find my husband frying up at least a half pound of bacon and 3 or 4 fried eggs. I grabbed some yogurt (I like strawberry, apple or pineapple) and a small apple. I wonder who will live longer in this house! Just kidding. My husband, as you may know, has had 5 bypasses already to save his dumb butt. He now thinks that, because he is on a blood thinner and cholesterol medications, that he can eat whatever he wants and it won't hurt him. Actually, he just stopped taking his cholesterol meds because they were giving him muscular problems. So, all that cholesterol he just shoveled into his stomach this morning is probably already harming his body. It doesn't take a lot to improve our health. I don't understand people like my husband who seem to think that no matter what they do to themselves (drinking, smoking, eating a lot of fried, salty or fatty foods) it won't hurt them any. My husband still has issues with his feet turning blue/purple, yet he continues to work on destroying himself. After two surgeries and 5 bypasses, you'd think he would be smart enough to realize that he needs to change his habits, wouldn't you? For someone who claims to be so smart, he sure is dumb. What are the symptoms your son-in-law has? He can't be that old, right? Well, my husband is 52 and had his first bypass when he was 51 but had PAD for years before that. It wasn't until his toes were so painful he couldn't stand it that he finally went to see a doctor which lead to his first bypass surgery because he had no pulse in his feet at all.

You mean your 43 year old daughter lost weight by drinking a gallon of water a day. I know that when you drink a lot, you will also feel always full so much so that you don't have the appetite to eat much anymore. I think i will add that, drinking lots of water to my determination to exercise vigorously at least every other day for one hour, plus not eating rice at night and eating lesser. I really hope i will lose my midsection tummy also. Nice job my friend , for you and your family, keep it up!

I am not trying to lose weight, but i try to keep fit and strength my body, so i do exercise everyday. I think it will do some help in some way.

Unfortunately, I like eating unhealthy food. I know the drawbacks, but sometimes I simply can't help myself. I should probably eat more apples oranges and stuff like that. Healthy stuff. The thing is, that even if I eat all kinds of food that should make you fat I am very thin. My 13 years old brother has almost the same weight that I have. Funny isn't it. The thing is that I have periods when I eat a lot, and other periods when I don't. Who knows why.
