Almost forgot – I’ve started walking the pounds off with Leslie Sansone. I’ve committed to walking 3/4 mile this week. Have avoided exercise most of my life, now at 69+ it’s a new day. Whatever it takes to get me where I want to be / go.
Next Steps on Weight Loss Journey

Very, very happy to have reached goal of losing 100 lbs. It was challenging with many unknowns being revealed as obstacles, hurdles and propulsion devices. But we made it. No way could this journey have been successful without lots and lots of support and I will be eternally grateful for that support. Now to implement the strategies for the next leg of the journey. Tactic #1 – exit from Medifast. The program did what it was supposed to do and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a rapid weight loss program AND who is willing to put themselves under supervision. Tactic #2 – Transition. This wasn’t something I had planned to do, but I am convinced (medical advice) that it is necessary. It involves adding back to the diet, the foods that were restricted during the journey. This includes some of the starchier veggies (see previous post), fruit, dairy and whole grains. This takes more discipline because of the multiplicity of choices. I do see results as I maintain the loss. Tactic #3 and Finale. Join Weight Watchers for the support, research results and structure that I, now, admit that I need. I can’t do it by myself. And God did not design us to be independent of Him or our neighbors. So onward and downward. My new weight loss goal is to be below 150 lbs. I am 5’7″ and I look GOOD at 175 and spectacular at 150. WooHoo!!!
