I sign up people with their email address with permission to post. <br /><br />Then we post every now and then with our struggles, our successes, and our ideas for helping each other lose weight and get in better shape. We'd love to have you! It's www.gettinthintogether.blogspot.com.<br /><br />Thanks for signing up to follow my blog. I might not have met you otherwise. Do you know for sure if your mom might not have alzheimer's or perhaps dementia? I took care of my grandmother for a year and she often did what you describe. Sometimes it's just the result of tiny 'heart attacks' that cause blockage of blood to the brain.<br /><br />Take good care of yourself!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944882257793647449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183969995972714212.post-41370739826061294732010-04-19T03:43:04.145-04:002010-04-19T03:43:04.145-04:00Julia, you will make it!

Congratulations on ...Julia,you are one busy woman . Congratulations on the five pound loss.Have you ever heard of a breathing system of excerce called Oxycise? I've had success with upping my metabolism by doing it. It only takes 15 minutes a day and you flex certain parts of your body while doing the special breathing technique. And your tummy gets flat which is a big plus. Oxycise has made me lose that bump that would never go away after my third child was born 35 years ago. I love it!The website is http://www.oxycise.com/jill-johnson/<br />You are wise to listen to your Mom when she says she 's not hungry. Mine is going through the last stages of Altzeimer and she has stopped wanting to eat. She can't swollow and one of my sisters insists on shoveling food into her. I find it very distressing. I know my mother just isn't able to eat and I respect that. <br />Sorry about the rambling. I was stopping by to get ideas for a little dress for my 19 month old GD.Your dresses are so special. <br />DianaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12500041147303339117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183969995972714212.post-84990638583131278042010-04-17T07:46:36.884-04:002010-04-17T07:46:36.884-04:00You sound like you are doing so well!

That...How awesome that you cut your burger in half. That takes discipline. Great you're keeping up with the walking. Losing .05 a week is still better than gaining .05 per week. You'll get there. Try to have the philosophy to only eat when hungry. If you aren't hungry, don't eat till you are. Never snack if you aren't really hungry. Then only eat what you need, till satisfied. It's always a good policy when going to a restaurant to get a to-go box before you eat. Put half of it in there to take home to eat when you feel hungry again. And eat the other half there.

I think you NEED to eat something like a hamburger once in awhile, otherwise you'll go crazy and eat 3 in a row- or worse yet- one sitting! Oh wait- I'm the only one that goes crazy like that? I'm losing at about the same pace as you are, so you are not alone. Lost is lost I say- and it's that much weight I'm not carrying with me when I exercise :) Have a fun weekend!!!!!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07375926316456970496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183969995972714212.post-22425393415017815122010-04-16T10:50:22.528-04:002010-04-16T10:50:22.528-04:00I feel your pain about trying to lose weight. My D...I feel your pain about trying to lose weight. My DH and I have been on WW since January. He has lost 42, and I've lost 20, which is really good for me. I only gained one pound on our cruise, but that was because we walked a WHOLE lot, which was also good for me as I have a really bad knee. Losing the 20 lbs. has also helped that.<br /> They gave him a brochure the other night for a walking regiment, and we are going to try that. You start out with only 10 min. a day, but not every day. Sounds like a plan to me! <br /> Oh yes, I have found our meat dept. puts out a type of HB meat that says "diet", and it has about 1/4 of the fat of regular meat, and makes really good hamburgers. That is our treat about every 2 weeks. Plus we use those little flat funny looking buns, and on WW they only have 1 point. <br /> We are planning another cruise so that is a real good incentive to stay on the diet.ShirleyChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977213395999971029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183969995972714212.post-91803841410622218132010-04-16T10:04:14.186-04:002010-04-16T10:04:14.186-04:00Congrats on the loss!

As long as you compensate for the rest of the day .. like, perhaps just have a salad at dinner (with some chicken in it).. it's fine. And, you are exercising.. that goes a long way to revving up the old metabolism.<br /><br />All the best for the upcoming week!<br /><br />((Hugs))<br />lauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226811839348899360noreply@blogger.com
