I forgot to say congrats on getting to a lower obesity class. And I too lookforward to reading your "Star" story. Thanks for the advice abt bikes. I think I will start saving now and not buy till next spring. I have some pain issues I hope McDougalling will clear up eventually. Maybe by next April I will be down enough in weight to try out recumbents and regular bikes. :-D

MWL seems to work wonders for many people here, so I'm hopeful.

Eating this way has helped my pain so much and I'm sure losing some of the weight has helped with that too. I rarely get any pain now.

We are looking at at $1,495 dollar bike for me at moment seems best fitting road bike for me so far but I'm trying out others before we make a decision.

Rosey, hi just stopping by to say hi and how are you today? My DH is staying on the WOE with me, and I am very happy about that. He does not have a wt problem, but wants to lose like 20 lbs maybe. The biggest issue is his liver and HBP. So far so good tho!
Every day is an adventure.

HUGS Carollynne. I'm doing pretty good though I didn't read this when you posted it. SMILE. I was good then too though.

This morning when the little boy I babysit got here his mom goes Jackson told me your tummy is getting smaller. That put a smile on my face for sure.

Been bike riding and walking down to garden to weed a lot lately. This last week expectally since Jackson was gone for the week at his daddies. He's back this morning and we will be seeing how he does on a tag a long bike we got now. Will be short to the park trips with him for a bit and then work on building up to the nicer park a little farther away. little at time. SMILE. He's used to walking a lot so he should do pretty good I think.

Good compliment from Jackson! Kids are so honest, aren't they? Which can be either a blessing or curse :lol:

Good luck with your road bike shopping.

Been doing really good at at eating and exercising just not very good at getting on here and reporting it.

Enjoyed a potluck with some E2L vegans at someone else's house and then another one my own house was a lot of fun.

You know what a busy vegan, is a very happy one! I am loving all the E2 pot lucks and they continue along if there is any interest in getting together to do it. I am in 2 of them now. Love all the food!
Let the fun continue!

Hi Rosey,

Congratulations on your terrific progress. You are an inspiration.

Where do you live? Those potlucks sound like a blast.

I just finished my first year following ETL/McDougall lifestyle recommendations. My first 12 months of following any positive lifestyle eating/exercising in my life. I've had many short term 1 day to 6 months max attempts, so this is a great experience.

My blood pressure came down from the 135/85 and 145\90 at worst to 120/74. Weigh came down 140 pounds during that year and most importantly I am able to move so much easier. The health benefits are so great, as I'm sure you are showing through your example everywhere you go. I still have about 140 pounds to lose, but it will happen and is happening. I'm so grateful.

Just wanted to check in and say thank you for your encouragement on this forum when I have checked in here. Best wishes for continued health improvements for us both and all others living this new way forever!

I'm in Milwaukie, OR so Portland area. My blood pressure was way way higher then yours was and I've been way under what your worse is now days and love that.

I love to give people encouragement because I used to need it so bad.

Rosey I just looked at your BMI change, wow. You've gone from 66.4 to 39.8. I know you know this but no I do too and I am so impressed yet again. Good food, bare footing and pedal pushing sure are doing the trick. :nod:
