I am a married..with skinny husband...age 75. Have 4 grown children, 9 grandchildren..1 girl. 6 great grands. My life is full when weather permits. I am on full time oxygen but refuse to give up. I have hobbies that include everything around QUILTING. Belong to several groups that are very busy and social. Also I belong to a homemakers group. We have met every month for 44 years. Life is amazing when you include lots of family and lots of great friends. But I am not healthy at this weight. I have tried so many diet programs. Never one where they provided the food but probably most others over 35 or more years. I need something I can stay on in other words a new lifestyle eating pattern. But I will say I have been warned by several that this is not healthy for the long term. I go for my yearly soon and am anxious to see her take on this. I do miss some foods but it is doable most of the time. Looking forward to success!! Thank you for all the information!
