coffeeshopgirl, Thank you. He is doing really great. Better than we ever imagined. To be honest, I read a book that I found on Amazon and followed what I read. My plan this time is to re-read, get the mind set again and be more active. I've spent three years being at the hospital and being exhausted all the time. I have time now to take my life into my hands and I'm going to succeed.
The other thing that I plan on doing is supplementing one meal a day with juice. We have a juicer, I know I wont make it if I try to give up food all together but one meal a day, usually breakfast, is doable and I feel good doing that. Then eating healthier meals for my other meals a day. No more cokes of any kind and I've signed up for a few email news letters from health related sites.
penmage, Thank you. You're so right, I shouldn't say "only" because it was a huge accomplishment for me. I've never lost any weight with previous attempts. And I am 20lbs closer to my goal. Thank you for that little bit of perspective, I wasn't looking at it that way and you just gave me a little more faith in myself. That makes me even happier I've come back to this site.
