So, here I am again after 4 years, bigger than I've ever been in my life and determined to not stay this way. Last year my husband was diagnosed with cancer. He's cancer free now, but after he was diagnosed I started working from home every day. KILLED me. No exercise, and plenty of opportunity to eat badly. So after a few months, I was completely out of shape and felt horrible all the time.

I will be 55 years old this year. Too young to feel this old. So, I'm making some changes which include eating right, drinking tons of water, and MOVING! I can't make myself younger, but I can make myself thinner and more fit and feel younger. So, let's get this ride started!

You know what helps us to eat better? Vegetable gardening. My husband and I love to garden, and we have a pretty big garden. Loving to grow things has taught us how to eat all kinds of new foods--kale, swiss chard, eggplant, tomatillos, etc. I just finished canning sauerkraut, sweet & sour red cabbage, and salsa all from our garden. Yes, as mentioned above the farmer's market IS more expensive to shop at. So, why not try growing a bit of your own produce? In addition to education on nutrition, I would love to be able to teach people how to grow their own food. There is something very, very rewarding about going to the garden to pick your dinner. And, you know exactly what is in your food, unlike anything you get at the grocery or even the farmer's market. Plus, you get a good workout while gardening!

Need quick exercise tips that really work!
I have one of the 10-Minute Solutions dvd's, toning I think, for when I just don't have time. It's 4 or 5 10-minute segments on different body areas, and you can make your own program with as many or few of them as you like. I also do the 30-Day Shred, which we have in a Challenge right now, and it really works. But if all you have is 15 minutes one day, throw in a section of the 10-Minute Solution so at least you've done something.

Important Points for Maintaining your loss

I have two rules that specifically address my weaknesse: No spending money on food Monday through Thursday and no drinking alcohol at home Monday through Thursday. Adhering to these rules saves me oodles of money and calories. I am forced to plan and cook all my meals, which prevents me from convincing myself that a turkey and cheese sandwich from Potbelly is a good idea, and I might as well grab this cookie and chips.... And for me personally, I worked hard to kick the cocktail (or two) to wind-down every night and the only way I avoid back-sliding is to have a hard rule.


I love that rule, and I'm going to adopt it if you don't mind. One of my downfalls is the large glass of wine in the evening, and that's a lot of calories. I don't want to ban wine altogether, but if I don't have it Mon-Thurs that's calories I can save for the weekend. Good thinking.

And in my observations, it is the poorer of us Americans that are the most obese. The wealthier tend to be better educated and know the dangers of an obese lifestyle.

CherryPie, that is exactly what it is--healthy food is much more expensive here, while fat laden processed foods are always on sale and there are always coupons in the newspapers for them as well. I live in a very rural area with a high poverty level, and the percentage of obese people here is astounding. A lot of these people are living off of social security and government assistance, and when their $2 can either buy 5 apples or 6 Tostinos Party Pizzas, which choice do you think they are going to make? They can feed their whole family with those pizzas, as opposed to the apples. Walmart, a national discount chain here in the US where the majority of lower-income people shop, has started an initiative to change this. They plan to both decrease the cost and increase the selection of whole, unprocessed foods within the next 5 years in their stores. If they can succeed in making healthy choices affordable, it will have a huge impact on the condition of the average Fat American.
