A New Day!
I am one of the 2/3 of out of shape American adults. I am a 58 year old school teacher that has been on every diet known to man. I have lost and gained the same 35 pounds over and over and each time...I gain a little more than previously lost. At this moment, I have already lost 15 pounds and still weigh 10 pounds more than I did at full term with ANY of my four babies. I am happy to say that according to my BMI calculator, I am no longer obese but am now..overweight. That is good to know. Thirty pounds from now..I will be "Normal"! A few years ago, I watched a series of wonderful documentaries on Netflix, and decided that as an aging, single woman, I needed to take heed and get healthy. I went on a plant-based "vegan" diet. The weight melted off, my arthritis flew the coop, my skin glowed and I was taken off my blood pressure meds. I went from a size 16 to a 8-10, from a XL to a M and I was feeling great...until....I went back to meat, dairy and processed food....
