Thank you guys! Bozeswife... All great people in this group have been amazingly helpfull! Pretty much live on the idea- if it doesn't have Protein in it, it doesn't go in my mouth & MODERATION!! I stick to 3 protein meals and 1/2 Protein Bar morn snack & the other half for afternoon. That's 20 grams. I drink tons of water... And exercise- walks, bike riding, some floor work (check with Dr on some, I had to wait 6 weeks to ride & crunches)... But I count running around the yard or taking walks on our property with the kids exercise. Good luck, Stay strong & use this group they are amazing!

Looking wonderful only 43. Don't tell my neighbor is older by like 2 years & she looks 50. You are looking really good. Keep up the good job!

You so don't look your age! You look wonderful!

[cottonkime 23]

Thank you everyone. I no longer feel my age (or older). I have so much more energy. Instead of having my kids "fetch" things for me, I jump up and get it/ do it myself.

Stay Strong and always Moderation!
