Progress on the diet....

I think our progress is slowing down. I think that we will need to begin our walking faithfully, or something. Brent stalled out at about 27 and me at 20. We will need to kick it up a bit. We can see the difference, but I don't think anyone else can. The food we have been eating is tasting nasty to us. We live for vegies and meat at night. Soy will never be our favorite food. I don't think we are able to give up on it all, just need to recommit. Perhaps the next 10 will merit a picture.

This Diet

Well, the diet goes on, and on, and on.......

Brent has lost 24 lbs. and I have lost 20 after six weeks of dieting. It is hard, but we are trying to make it work as it should.

Brent, who hasnot lost any weight for many years, is seeing some very significant changes. He has been able to quit using three of his diabetic medications and his sugars are under control. He is going down in size and keeps thinking he has to buy new clothes at every turn. He is looking pretty good, but still has a way to go.

I, on the other hand, am just finally getting into the clothes that I already have that are several sizes smaller than the ones I was wearing. I am not to the point where I should buy new ones out of necessity. That will all come later.

One of the things that we fight is that we go places to dinner where we have not much control over what is being served. Thus, we have to learn to control by portion and not eating desserts. I guess it is working and three to four lbs. per week on average isn't bad. I hope that it continues until we feel that we are at the correct weight for us.
