My husband decided to join me on low-carb/keto. His knees are really aching, and he's already had a knee "clean out" a couple of years ago and wants to avoid that if he can. When we first did Atkins 20 years ago (lol) he lost 80 pounds in 6 months (jerk!). AND he had at least 1 cheat meal a week at work: a double cheeseburger and fries. So hopefully he can lose enough to take some pressure off his knees again. He carries a lot of weight in a beer gut (maybe he will switch to light beer, I gave up getting him to stop beer all together decades ago).

I am returning to simply filling which is the only way I ever lost weight. Started today. I have a long way to go.

Hello Everyone DotRen - I hope your DH can lose weight to relieve the pain in his knees. That was one of the main reasons (and still is) that I lost weight. My knees have bothered me for years, but the less I weigh the better they feel. amrys - I'm glad you can go back to a program that works for you. I hope you enjoy being on Simply Filling again. I'm doing fair today, eating too much junk food. I know I shouldn't buy it, but I did and this is junk food I like so I can't bring myself to throw it out I'm sure hoping that I might like the new WW plans coming out in a few months. If I don't then it's time for me to find something else to do or get back on a program that works for me. Hope everyone else is doing well and having a great weekend!

Good morning dotren, hope the keto works for you both. I see so many yummy recipes on FB for keto. My neighbors lost weight on it. Amy, I remember how good you did with Simply Filling. You got this ;-) cj, I am bad about bringing junk in the house too. In the store I stand and look at it and the bad Brenda always wins Need to pack today. Weather is looking good so far. Last year we were going to do this trip and the hurricane hit.

Me, too. It's a lot easier if your household is on the same plan. sunrose49, I don't go full keto, I don't use a lot of added fats. Some of the recipes are just mind boggling lol -"for 1 serving add 4 tablespoons of coconut oil" and stuff like that. cj59, I'm hoping it helps him. I know his knees ache all the time. I'm sure the ingredients in beer are inflammatory, too. Cutting way back on that might help as well. amyrs, good luck on simply filling That looks interesting.

Hello Everyone - Hope you are all doing well today sunrose - I figure I must look pretty strange in the grocery store because I'll stand in front of junk food on a shelf for awhile fighting with myself about buying it I'm finishing off some of the junk food this weekend, but trying to get in some healthy foods too. I was surprised to receive an email from WW (the one about the pumpkin spice). I haven't been a member with them for about 9 years. They must really be reaching out to everyone to get old members back.

Good morning
cj, wow that's strange you got the email. I had to laugh because I stand there too and look and fight with myself. lol
Amy, good for you on trying hard! So proud of you.
dotren, I hope losing weight will help your DH. I carry a lot of weight in my stomach so my back hurts.
Well I leave this afternoon for Florida. I'll be back next Monday. I hope you ladies have a great week!!

Hello Everyone amrys - I'm wishing a good week and a great weigh-in on Saturday. One of my favorite sayings from when I was a WW member is "You Can Do It" sunrose - Hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip. DotRen - Are you finally feeling better? I got another email from WW!!! I'm really surprised. I guess they must have found their old email listings. This was an offer to join. If I ever do go back, I don't want to have the recurring charges on a credit card so I'll have to figure out how else I can pay. I've worked hard to remove all recurring charges because I've had a card hacked that way. I'm happy that I met my step goal for all of September. I'm upping it 1000 more steps a day in October. I'm trying to get back to where I was last year before I slacked off with walking and exercise. Hope everyone has a great day!
