I can't believe that summer vacation is half over. I spent a week in New Jersey in the beginning of June and came home about 4 pounds heavier! There was plenty of healthy food -- just too much of it available. I have lost about half the weight I gained, but I will be going to Vermont the last week in July. Hopefully, I won't gain back too much.

Still losing weight!

 Well, I can't believe it is almost August 2019.  My weight loss is continuing and I am still pretty active.  I walk daily, ride a stationary bike several times a week, and use the gym and heated pool at Therafit twice a week.  I eat 3 weighed and measured meals a day containing no flour, sugar, wheat, or artificial sweeteners of any kind.  I drink water, or decaf coffee and tea inbetween. I also work part-time and enjoy visiting family in Florida and California. The reason I don't blog much is because I am so busy.  Also, because I don't get any feedback, I figure no one pays attention.  With all the emphasis on diets and healthy eating I am surprised that no one makes comments.

These questions don't seem to be any different than those I ask myself. I used to weight 280 lbs. When I first went on a lower calories/ healthier diet I lost about 50 lbs pretty quickly. Since then I have been slowly losing, with some bumps of regaining a little weight. The problem with people following other people is that the information just isn't accurate enough. We don't take into consideration age, activity level, medications, height, body type, etc. I know that I bristle every time someone tells me that I am eating more than I think I do, because I am pretty fastidious about weighing, measuring and keeping track of what I eat, but I am still not

July 2022 A lot has happened since my last post - 2021 was not the best year for out family.  My daughter Sharon had to have her left leg amputated below the knee in March.  Then on April 11 my son Doug died. My world fell apart!  Sharon and I made the best of things for the rest of that year.
