I have almost always carried extra weight around but it never seemed to really get in my way. I think old age is catching up to me and the extra poundage in the last couple of years really had me feeling bad. I had lost some a year or so ago and have probably lost a ton or so over the years but always managed to find it and some besides. (too bad that couldn't be money!) Anyway, I discovered Unleash Your Thin, a low carb and higher protein eating lifestyle. Wow, I wish I had found it sooner. An eating plan that I can live with. I love being with my dogs and show them as well. I am grateful to have a husband that is supportive of the plan even if he doesn't need it. I just give him some carbs, otherwise he eats what I do and enjoys it. I intend to be better at 60 that I was at 50. I am 58 now and it will be exciting to see this new person emerge that hasn't ever been seen. I am feeling so much better already and want to be healthier and active as I attempt to merge gracefully into my more mature years.
