My basic diet is good but I do wander over toward a sweet treat too often. I don’t like to cook so that’s a problem. I’ll open a box or can when I feel lazy and they really don’t taste good with the exception of crackers. I’m certainly going to work on that. I gained 5 lb this year which is not bad considering.
Exercise is harder to fix but moving my behind more would help there. Sitting around is just not good for you. God gave us legs for a reason.
We can do anything if we realize everything starts in our little brain. Now take the next step and put it in action.

In reply to Melanie S. Yes!! Good luck!! I think a lot of us are starting to look at health more. It’s hard not to when you live with a Heath fanatic lol! He’d kill me if He knew I said that But he is an inspiration about staying fit. It certainly shows how dedicated he is to keep moving and keeping fit. I think we as women lose a lot of muscle and elasticity as we age, so I’m back on track!! Good luck

In reply to Lori Burton. I am a very picky eater. Barry us not. In this program they give you a number goal for carbs, proteins, fats that vary each day. You eat whatever foods you like to reach those goals. I like mashed potatoes, corn, peas, yams, and that is my basic veggies that I’ve eaten my entire life. We eat what we like, so this works very well for my entire family. My meals have not changed other than I don’t eat fried foods much at all. I still eat snacks or a donut here and there. As long as I stay within my goals I’m fine. I eat bananas, strawberries, peaches and pineapples a lot in high carb days. It’s the most realistic plan for every day life I’ve been on. We sat steak, chicken, homemade hamburgers, etc. If you sign up, just remember to eat the foods you like and stay on goal. It’s a lot of food and you won’t go hungry! If you both sign up you get a huge discount, good luck. I hope this helps!!

In reply to Tammy Gravis. Good Morning. Thank you for sharing this weightloss program. I’m actually starting one Monday and my biggest issue with myself is patience. I am one who wants to see results quick. Praying I will be patient and not rush because I have no reason to rush lol... Thank you for the motivation! I love motivation and it’s what keeps me going. Have a wonderful weekend

Hi Beverly,
I have considered FWTFL for several years but continue to hesitate for basically two reasons. One, my husband won’t eat vegetables unless it’s potatoes, corn, or some type of bean. It’s just the two of us at home now (our younger daughter married in December) so I want to cook things we both like. Do the meals accommodate such picky eaters? I’d like to lose about 20 lbs and eat more healthy in the new year. I’m tired of feeling tired and sluggish. Plus our older daughter and son-in-law are expecting our first grand in April, and i want the energy to play with that sweet blessing when he arrives. My second reason is the cost. I really want this to be something both my husband and I can benefit from. Is there a site where I can see meal ideas or recipes to help me in this decision? I enjoy reading your blog and feel that of the few I read consistently, I connect with your personality, style, and faith more than the others. May God bless you for a happy and healthy 2021.
