I'm trying this introduction for the second time. My first got lost in cyberspace.

I'm a 51 year old woman and mother of a wonderful 8 year old son. My husband has older kids so I'm also a grandmother of a dear 6 month old - and you can't beat that!

I've always weighted just a bit more than I wanted to. Till I hit infertility and the scale crept up some more. Then with my son it went up another notch. 5"5' and 162 seemed to be where I was living. Some work setbacks left me thinking "I'm going to take control of what I can take control of, and that is my food and weight". Fortunately I found the BDS book and I'm feeling very good late in week 3, about 4 pounds lighter.

I've long excercised 3-4 times a week (20 mins elyptical trainer) but have cranked that up to (try for) 5 times and 45 minutes. I walk a lot, especially in warm weather.

This week I'm on a family church "camp" which is loads of fun, lots of walking and pretty good salads. Hope I can hold out through the carnival and sundae party tomorrow.

could someone please seend me a private message (which I think I've figured out how to read) to tell me how you find the other answers to your messages? I can now find my original post, and see there are answers, but can't figure out how to see those (how emberrasing!)

to 3FC's, we're glad you found us.

Hi Wildflwer - Welcome to 3FC.

hmmmm... not sure I understand your question about finding the responses to your post. Just reading a thread is is reading the responses - maybe something has led you to think there's more.

There are some folks who are doing the Beck DIET solution over on this thread The Beck Diet Solution – July 2008 – Group for Support, Discussion, Diet Coach.

You can just click that link and you'll be at the start of the July thread. You can then click on <Last> on that page if you want to get to the middle of postings on Wednesday, July 24th, without reading from the start of the month. Or just click here: Last .

I hope you join us over there.
