Finally, I have a weight loss success story!! As of two days ago, I am 5 pounds lighter. It feels great. My husband is losing as well!! I decided a while ago to go back to the old Weight Watcher exchange system with some modifications. It is working very well for me. I find this to be more structured which is obviously what I needed. This is the first real success I have had in a few years. My husband and I are on our second week of the program, and it is going very well for both of us. Hubby also lost 5 pounds.

We have been eating loads of vegetables and fruits. We have cut down considerably on breads, pastas, eggs, and starchy vegetables. I have not had any sweets in almost two weeks. This is from a girl that was eating a couple of English muffins a day and at least 2 small bags of m&ms or any type of chocolate I could get my hands on. We have stopped ordering take out food. We were also walking about 2 miles every evening, but of course I injured my foot when cleaning house, so presently I am not able to walk for long periods. Hopefully, we will be able to get out and walk this weekend. Last weekend we went to the Holden Arboretum to take photographs. We got quite a bit of exercise walking the trails and will probably go back this coming weekend to take more photographs and of course for more exercise. I will post some of the pictures later tonight.

I think my weight loss success this time is due to the support of my husband. Having a partner to go along on this weight loss journey with me has made a big difference. After many attempts at losing weight over the last few years, I am confident I will succeed this time.
Cheers!!
