An insprirational family

The Dean family has collectively lost 500 lbs. It was an interestng interview this morning and they really personified that sticking together can help overcome most challenges when it comes to weight loss. I'm thinking through LJ a few of us can do the same for each other.

The Train

[keetara.livejournal.com]

This is a possible format for all of us to use. It works well on one of my online support groups.

The Train is a 'virtual train'. It is an attempt to use humor and a symbol, so to speak, to try and wrap our brains around a healthy lifestyle

So, we name cars of the train for the lifestyle changes/habits on which we want to focus our energies each day/week etc.

For instance:

Protein car
Lo-carb car
Water car
Vitamin car
Exercise car
8 pm is too late car (don’t eat after 8pm)
Pitch-n-Ditch car (detox the house)
TLC car (support)

So, you could say, “Today I am getting on the lo-carb car and the exercise car. Today I will keep my total carbs to about 40 and exercise for 1 hour.”
