I think you are still recognizable . I have the same problem myself . I will try to lose some in 2009 , but 157 is not going to be the magic number.
I will pray for both of us to make a different this year . Happy new year to you and your family .

Tim, thought you would like know how Zach was praying for you the other day. He prayed that you would be able to stick to your plan and that God would change your taste buds to like ‘yucky’food. I corrected him and said you mean HEALTHY foods right? And then he gave me a look that said; ‘you call it what you like Mom, I said what I meant.’
We are thinking of you and praying for endurance and patience.
Remember when I began the KMEP? I did not see the poundage loss that I was led to believe would happen, but by the second month, it was steadily coming off.
Don’t give up! And even if you quit, we will still encourage you and pray, so you can’t escape either way!

Still praying for you. Thanks for the update. It’s good fuel to keep up the petitions for God’s strength and perserverance.

I came over from Scott’s website “Honey I fed the kids”. That should all probably be in caps but oh well!!

I saw nothing about exercise on your diet blog today. Having not read you before, I don’t know if you are or aren’t. But 35 minutes a day, every other day is what is recommended. If you have a gym in your area, that would work, but be sure you change machines every ten minutes or so and don’t wait in between to let your heart rest. It has to go steady for 30-35 minutes. I have a treadmill and a bike with moving handlebars that works me out quite well. (I had a heart attack). Otherwise just plain walking at a fast pace will work just as well. And who doesn’t like a walk at this time of year? It’s beautiful outside. (Well it’s freezing here in MN) but you get the drift.
Good luck and remember to combine your food with exercise. I’ll be praying for you also, now that Scott has given the ok!! LOL

Hugs,
Marie

Ugh. It can be such a struggle. I keep sticking it out and hoping things will someday “click” again…..I may need to visit your calorie calculators.

Oh,yes, YOU CAN DO IT. I am praying and loving you, dear Timothy!!

I’m doing some yo-yo ing myselfl and am encouraged to STOP that and get serious. So thanks for sharing your discouragement so humorously and honestly.

Love, Aunt Kate

Back to say “you stink.”. You were my motivation for going and working out this morning.
It was either that or try your hummus, wheat germ, and tree bark recipes.
I only kid. Your menu sounds surprisingly good.

I hear ya on the weight loss. My own weight yo-yo’d between 2 pounds week after week. Up & down it went. Ugh. Then I finally made the changes I need to & stuck to it & the weight is finally coming off. Exercise & a sensible eating plan – it’s all you can really do. Good for you for committing to it – even when you feel like quitting. Still praying for you here in Maine!!!
