Hi everyone,

Lost were I was when I went down to Fl. to take care of my 95 yr. old Mom after being in the hospital for unstable CHF & kidney failure.  Big strain on me to see how bad she looked. She lost 20 lbs. over a 2 month period & also lost a lot of muscle mass.  She looked terrible.  She has been slowly coming back to some of her regular activities.  She will be 96 yrs. old in 7 days.  I think she is trying for 100.  Wish I could have stayed with her so we could have had more quality time. 

My son continues to struggle with legal mess he was in due to being in the wrong place at the wrong time, & all the ramifications that have come from that.  Still hasn't found a permanent job, or housing.  Can't live with me due to the people who brought charges against him live next door to me.  Bad lawyer, poor legal system, & we were nieve to a lot of things. 

I continue to look for a job.  Been unemployed since 4/2010.  That along with my Mom & son have sent me into a emotional spiral downward.  Not good for an emotional eater/binger!! 

However I want this so bad it hurts!!  Just need a S.B. life style Buddy.  I am 63 (ouch) live alone, well I have a dog who is as demanding as a spoiled kid.  I wonder who did that to her??  I want to be successful & get healthy, because I will be the only family my son has when my Mom passes (hopefully not for a while!!).  I felt so much better a number of years ago when I lost 25 lbs on S.B., however at that time I worked in a medical office were several of us were on it. That helped a lot. 

I need to lose 75 + lbs.  I'm 4'10".  I am a 25 yr. breast cancer Survivor.  Professional I am an LPN.  Love knitting, but just at the basic level. gardening, reading, walking my dog when the weather permits.  I am a born again Christian.

Hi Debbie,
I would love to be Beach Buddies.  I also was in a Baptist Church. I think the saying goes once a Baptist always a Baptist.  I am now attending a Non- Denominational Church.  Main difference is our present church isn't as legalistic.  Still miss the Baptist Church at times, I was involved more & new a lot more people.  Current church is a lot smaller, & I'm not as involved, still to new to it.

I need someone to hold me accountable,understanding that satan uses different avenues to try to distroy us.  Well food is it for me that he pops infront of me at all times.  I promise to pray for all your needs, hold you accountable & exhault you no matter what.  To openly share with you honestly, & will hope you do the same. 

Want to have a go at it??  I seem to have much more to get rid of than you.  At least we are the same age & as you say we have a lot in common.  

Oh, my name is Kathy.

Peace of the Lord. 

If your want to try it.

Kathy,
I am also glad I have found you. I need all the encouragement that I can get! Where exactally do you live in Ohio? Are you anywhere near Cincinnati? I was kinda hoping to find a SBD person that I could actually have personal contact with..... to walk together, cook, make up menus and go shopping. I am really going thru alot of junk thanks in part to my own mistakes and stubborness and the nasty old boy, Satan! 
Hope you are doing well. How have you been doing?

Talk to ya soon,
Debbie

Hi, I'm restarting again too after losing 30 lbs. before on the beach. t would be good to be able to help each other. I've written more in other posts but don't know where they ever went to, so if this gets posted this could be good for both of us.

I am a first timeer on this diet. Not real sure how it works yet. I am also 63 and a born again christian. My Mom is 87 and going strong. I also have an aunt who is 101 this year.I am hoping this means I have good genes. I am 45 pounds over weight and need a diet buddy. I feel we might have a lot in common, but I have to admit I donot have lot to offer a buddy- not knowing the program. I am willing to do challanges. I have a wii, and am considering doing the fitness routine.
I have 3 cats that are my babies and a skinny husband!!!
 Nice to meet you.
