Hi everyone--I started counting calories a few days ago, and lost a bit, but Easter weekend I really had fun! Now I am back to counting--its the only thing that works for me/will be able to ride my horse as soon as she quits favoring her right front foot a bit--so doing the rebounder(mini-trampoline), going up and down stairs and back and forth alot from one end of house to another, that kind of thing--walked one of 4 dogs today--I am 58 and my joints and feet hurt when I ex/walk/housework too much. Too much weight and use on body for too many years!!! JJ/Jocelyn/jacki jo/jacqueline

Hi! I am relatively new to the Quilting Board although I have been a follower for much longer. The weight loss challenge was just the spark I needed to get back on track. When my 2 sons grew up and moved out, I didn't like preparing meals for just my husband & me. I work 75-80 hours/week (self employed) & gained 35 pounds over the past 2 years due to bad food choices & skipping meals. My methodology is not for everyone, but it works best for me because of some health issues. Basically, it is portion control (I weigh & measure EVERYTHING) and .... here's the hard part.... NO carbs, No fats, No sugar, & No dairy. I know it sounds harsh, but I feel great & can honestly say I am never hungry. It is a variation of the Adkins diet w/ the main difference being portion control. Also, I do not eat red meat - only chicken or fish AND lots of veggies. It also helps that I like my foods plain w/ no sauces, dressings, etc. I even eat my salads with white balsamic vinegar instead of dressing. I am fortunate to llive in sunny Arizona so I exercise by walking 4 miles each day in the evening with my son's dog (I am now the legal guardian since July LOL) and at least 3 times per week I walk 2 miles during lunch. I have an activity monitor clipped on my shoe which measures steps.(I love high tech gadgets). AND...LOTS OF WATER @ least 64 oz. I limit myself to only 2 diet pepsi's a day. Decaf tea works great as the "water". AND best of all....when I have a "snack attack", I go upstairs to my quilting room & get busy. Now for the April challenge.

I requested some work out dvds from the library.
After what I went through on Friday, I said never ever again. I've never felt that bad. So I'm going to work on losing at least 20 pounds. And after I reach that goal, I'll get the next one... I'm not sure how long it will take me to hit 20, but as soon as I do I'll be happy... I have a total amount of 100 pounds to lose... maybe more... but I'm keeping the goal small... I need a rockin bod! lol I just need to be healthy, looking great is just the extra bonus.

GO TRUE!!!
I have to phase soda out of my diet... or at least limit it. If I cut out soda, and drink water, I should be able to lose some of this weight... I'm going to do a before picture of me with all the weight and then do a picture each month of my weight loss journey.
