This morning, I weighed 170. I began this journey to lose weight at 199. It was the middle of September of this year. 
It all began while my daughter-in-law was researching ways to get my husband off of the 14 medicines his doctors had prescribed for his various illnesses: High blood pressure, an enlarged heart, and diabetes.  She  was also on a quest for herself. She had diabetes, chronic liver problems and, high blood pressure.  I ,as you know if you have been following this blog, suffer from fibromyalgia and depression.
She started with Dr. Ornish's "Eat More, Weigh Less" and then "Reversing Heart Disease".  Before anybody knew what had happened, she, her husband and two sons were vegetarians.  Two weeks later, so was I. A month later, my husband, the carnivore, joined the rest of the family as a vegetarian.

Only a week ago, she visited her doctor to have full blood panels run. He was astounded. She had lost 38 pounds! Her high blood pressure was gone. Her diabetes was cured!  He asked her question after question and finally his doubt gave way to incredulity as he suggested that she write a book about her miraculous journey to health!  He was totally serious.

I have decided to tell you what we have done and give you a chance to cure yourself, lose weight and enjoy amazingly good health.   Today, I just wanted to let you know my intent to record here on these pages what we have done, why we have done it, and give you direction to resources that will help you create a plan for yourself to replicate our successes.

I wish you good health and hope you will read on as daily I share with you.
Good health and happiness,
