My Lean & Green usually consists of

It really is good. We have this at least twice a week.

stuck, stop hording you silly body

I been stuck rolling between the same two pounds.... Gonna try to increase water today to 125 ounces, I learned a tip last night. Gonna not eat my lean and green today and eat one more medifast bar.  Hopefully those two things will help. I have Yo-yoed my self to death over the years... So my body is trying to get ahead of itself and go into starve mode... I wish the body would just accept the fact that it is going to get healthy and to stop hording. The inlaws finished their first week. She lost 8 pounds and he lost 11 pounds. I am so proud of them for wanting to get healthy.  How are you doing? I have many friends right now doing little things in there day. Like watching how much creamer they use in their coffee. Ain't that great!! I am proud of everyone that is czring about themselves.  Have a great Tuesday... Drink you water :)

Saboteur, Wally World and Advice from Lois

One thing I should say is I am on this Take Shape for Life... and Lois brought up a great topic. Losing the weight is the easy part. It's the maintenance, that is hard. This lifestyle plan that I am on use's the Medifast foods... but Then Take Shape For Life comes in and works with you on the Transition part. Where you develop your skills for eating healthy and staying healthy. Living a healthy lifestyle. After Transition your not left on your own. Then, there is the maintenance part... The part for Life.. so you never ever step on the Fat Bus Again. I love all the support I get from other people on the plan, who are in transition or on Maintenance. Also the support I am getting from friends and family. If your a Saboteur...
sabotage

destruction of or damage to equipment, installations, etc, in an industrial context, as in a labor dispute, or in a military context, as in the action of partisan or resistance movements. — saboteur, n.

my new lifestyle doesn't allow me to be friends with you. That simple. Why would you want to hang with someone that doesn't support health? What are your feelings on Saboteurs?

Also today Walmart is cutting out 10% of the sugars in food it sells...yeah.. here is the article. http://money.cnn.com/2011/01/20/news/companies/walmart_food/index.htm It is about time :)


Also Lois said one of her tips is Eating your Veggies... Live a life of Lean and Green... yeah baby!!!

Hey got a Few Questions for ya

What's your best weight loss secret/piece of advice?  I am conducting 2 polls, tell me what you have tried? Tell me what has worked for you... Any tips... Interact with me please

I am Obese!!!

First I will say I am now 48 years old. The Mother of two. One is 27 the other 25, I have two Grand Children and a wonderful  husband. I have tried every diet in the world. So many I can't remember them all. I have type 2 diabetes, asthma, high cholesterol, high blood pressure. Isn't that enough?  I yo-yoed my weight up to one pound shy of the dreaded 300 pounds... Yikes.. it hurts just to write that down. My husband is overweight also. A friend of ours that had went on the weight loss plan called "Take Shape for Life" had lost 107 pounds in 6 months. We have watched him in this journey. So he suggested maybe we would like to check this out.  He has been on maintenance for about a year. He is doing well and is very happy with his choice.
If your interested in what I am talking about go to www.getoffthefatbus.com. I have a list of reason why this lifestyle plan is working for us. I have currently been on the plan for 3.5 weeks and have lost 20 pounds. My husband has lost 30 pounds.


I was taking 360 units a day of lantus insulin, metformin, byetta and novolog (fast acting insulin). After 3.5 weeks I am now on 75 units of lantus and 10 mg of byetta. My blood sugars are clocking in at an average blood sugar level of 95. Used to have levels in the 300's... again that dreaded 300 number..yikes. I feel a lot better, a lot more energy in this short amount of time. I hope you will take this journey along side me... I will have good days and bad days... real life
