We're between Indy and South Bend.

I live in Crown Point, Indiana and work in Valpo.

I'm also Northern Indiana -- just north of Fort Wayne ...

Is this an active group?

Welcome Grandma of Nine! There really are quite a few Hoosiers on LCF.

I've been cruising around this site for about a week now -- trying to find someone to talk to as a diet buddy.

I noticed that you responded to my post "51 with 100 lbs to lose."

Look forward to being able to find someone to chat with and compare notes...

Grandma, are you doing Atkin's, lowcarb, counting calories, etc?

Grandma of Nine · 12-26-2007, 11:43 PM

I'm just getting started -- I'm in training right now, since 12/20 -- preparing to officially start January 1st!!! My resolution is to lose 100 pounds by next Christmas.

I would say what I'm doing is "Conscious Eating" --- not following any particular program, just watching calories, drinking more water, exercising more, avoiding breads, eating more protein -- things that will make changes to my lifestyle that I can manage....

I started on 12/20 weighing 241.8, today I weighed 238.4 -- so it's a start...

That's great! I work nights, part-time, and was walking for fifteen minutes everytime I work. I was mostly staying lower carb but also ate some fruit almost every day. I love strawberries mixed with vanilla yogurt sprinkled with flax meal. I love melons too.
Peanut butter on lite whole grain bread too. I lost almost seventeen lbs from Sept. to Thanksgiving then began eating an occasional piece of pie which led to other sweets and breads. Now I must start again, mentally.
I want to feel younger and more energetic by summer. I want to have that spring in my step again and more comfortable bending over in the garden! LOL

I noticed you were interested in gardening on your profile. I am also a gardener, am enjoying my greenhouse right now -- it's so nice to walk out there and see everything blooming. I'm sure as I really get started with this diet, the greenhouse will be one of my escape places.

I work full-time and travel extensively internationally, so it will be a challenge staying focused during those times...

Have you ever used the chat room here?

Butternut · 12-27-2007, 12:01 AM

Yes, sometimes I check to see if anyone is there. People used to use it often. Now I rarely see anyone there.
Oh, it would be so nice to have a greenhouse and travel. You are very lucky!
