flaxseed

Start Weight:	(13 Jan 08) 350.0 lb
Current Weight:	(07 Jan 09) 256.0 lb
Goal Weight:	250.0 lb

following: The South Beach Diet
performance: losing 5.8 lb a week

Retired and living out in the sticks
2 daughters and 1 son who is addicted to drugs and I haven't seen for about 5 years
I've been overweight all adult life
My oldest daughter had breast cancer and a radical mastectomy and OH was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma last year so life has been stressful. Both are well now. I am determined to lose weight for youngest daughter,s wedding in June 09. I'm not going to be a fat 'mother of the bride'.

UPDATE

Jan 09. About half way there now. Its amazing what a bit of determination, a p;ositive attitude and the help of FS friends will do.

THE SB DIET - Not a Low Carb or No Carb Diet
Thanks from me too. I've been quite confused with all the talk of lowering carbs. I've always following the latest SB book, but I've become aware of carbs, calories, fat etc. from when I use the food diary and from the journals. I thought I was getting it wrong or a least a bit out of line. I was worried when I read of FSers with much higher calorie intakes than mind and low carbs. This has clarified things in my mind. Thanks again

Important BPA Study
This was reported on the UK news too. Its quite scary as you don't know exactly what to avoid. As someone with diabetes and atrial fibrilation should I be going plastic free?

New York Chain Restaurants Posting Calories on Menus
I think this is fantastic. I wish they would bring something like this in here in the UK. You really haven't got any idea how many calories and how much fat are in some of the things you get served in restaurants and lets face it everyone loves to eat out. Some things that look really innocent have huge calorie and fat counts.

Stepping up the exercise
Well, I've made the decision! I'm going swimming tomorrow evening. Have unearthed my cossie - not too sure that it looks very elegant but who cares. I haven't been swimming for years but I used to enjoy it and its not so hard on your joints as other exercise. Its been a good diet today in spite of being a dreary rainy day.
