what a great story for me to read 3 days into the plan. i had TKR in one knee last November. i did well, but even so, it was no fun. The other knee isn't as bad but it is the thought that i might require yet more in the future that has made me get serious. i had always feared SBD, thinking it was like Atkins, which i tried once and got very sick on. But really, the phase 2 , when i get there, reminds me of an updated version of the 1971 Weight Watchers, which is the only diet i ever lost on. That you have succeeded past 45 is also encouraging. Thank you.

Thanks for all the encouragement I forgot all about this post. It's now been 4 years, who would have thought?! I can't say it's really gotten easier but it's just become habit. I hope that sticks because I now see myself as the fit, healthy 50 year old I am and can't imagine back-sliding. There's not a slice of pizza or dessert in the world that's worth being where I was or where I would be without SBD and the Chicks around here. As I often tell people - I am the only 50 year old I know who takes no prescription meds, just Vitamin D and cinnamon. I can keep up with almost anyone on a bike or on foot, never take elevators and usually have energy to tackle anything and I'm not achy all the time anymore. It has been so worth it.
