LOWEST WEIGHT - FIRST FS MEMBERSHIP - 128 - March 2009

I am a 5'1" 135 pound English teacher in my early fifties who has lost over forty pounds by following the South Beach plan. I have re-gained a few of those pounds.

I have been happily married for 31 years and I have a grown family. My husband is a retired coach who is very active and my son is a college athlete who is completing his final semester of school.

My husband and I are approaching our retirement years and we are working together to stay healthy.

The last five-to-ten pounds of my weight loss are tough to keep off. I would like to push my weight range so that I weigh between 125 and 130 instead of weighing between 135 and 140.

I am active and healthy but I need some support and interaction to stay on track. I like to exercise by using a variety of activities such as walking, moderate jogging, pilates toning, skipping rope, working out with Jillian and Denise Austin, riding bikes, and a little dog paddling in the pool! He-he-he-he!

I am excited about re-connecting with Fat Secret via some informative exchanges! This is my SECOND go-around with Fat Secret. Let's have an awesome Fat Secret Experience!

Your INVITED to FLIP FLOPS and LEMON DROPS!

SBD works for the entire family!
My husband was following South Beach without even paying much attention to it. I do all of the meal planning, cooking, and grocery shopping for the two of us. I followed the plan faithfully so he ate what I made for lunch and dinner all summer. He does not eat breakfast. As is often the case with men - as opposed to women - his weight dropped rapidly - especially during Phase I. Lucky guy - huh!

Your INVITED to FLIP FLOPS and LEMON DROPS!
On a positive note - I do wear flip-flops! I have several colorful pair. I also like lemon drops but I do not buy them as a treat for myself. Instead - I accept them when a hostess holds up a candy dish. Just keeping "things" upbeat. Smile! I guess many people who log onto Fat Secret "buy into" one idea or another - but in a FIGURATIVE way not a LITERAL way - as in ordering powdered drink mix! Oh well.

Your INVITED to FLIP FLOPS and LEMON DROPS!
Fat Secret is a free site. I love that fact and I appreciate it so much! I think it is so wrong to use Fat Secret as a place to promote one's business or to sell products. Members sometimes mention particular products that have been useful for them - personally - but these members do not profit directly. Just a sincere thought!
