I started visiting a doctor using Standard Process supplements and nutritious eating to heal the body. I was told the doctors philosophy is God made any and everything our bodies need and that seems like good common since to me. The doctor after testing tells me my thyroid, pancreas, and spleen are all stressed. He say doctors do not often find the stress on organs until they are already deceased, where as this way of care focuses on relieving the stress and restoring healthy tissues to organs. He test for what is causing the stress and my biggest indicator was viral so he said no diary because that would cause mucus to form in the body and that is what viruses feed off of. They also test for parasites and metals which can cause the same stress but it seems to be viral in me so when I go Friday I will start whole food supplements my body needs to get rid of the virus. Then the doctor said we will begin to rebuild the tissue with other treatments. He makes no promise about fast weight loss or overnight cures. I should also mention he is a chiropractor doctor and his philosophies are Christian bases so everyone can form their own opinion but I thought I would start from the beginning and try to give updates per visit so everyone can find out with me if it will work. God’s food instead of the world’s food means an apple instead of a cheese danish that makes sense. So who would like to can come along for the journey and see what happens. I have tried similar things but not with the whole food supplements and not with the aid of a doctor. There are also healthy shopping classes and weight loss clinics offered by this doctor free of charge so I will be attending those for the support. I just need a little help losing this next 100 lbs it seems the same thing I did to loose the first 100 is not working. Stuck! Stuck! Like Chuck a little down then back up to come down again! The doctor said all food was created good in it’s natural state, it is what man does to foods that makes the food bad. So now I have been told no refine grains, no refine sugar, and no milk. That leaves meats, fruits and veggies in there most natural states. Fresh organic fruits and vegetables are best, frozen is next best and canned is worst because as you probably already guessed weather it is fruit or vegetables they add sugar as a preservative. In meats it is the hormones being added that is the problem. I am not sure there is any way for me to avoid all sugar and hormones but I think the more I cut out the better. None of this is new to me and probably not to any of you but maybe God has led me to Dr. Majors to help me continually stay closer to a walk that only allows God’s natural foods.

Hardest things for me to give up.

• Carbsmart ice cream
• artificial sweeteners (Goodbye splenda hello honey)
• Crystal light and South beach Tide me overs
• Sugarfree gum and mints
• Mayonnaise (sugar)
• Canned veggies (Sugar)

Good things I discovered

• Ezekiel 4:9 Bread yummy sprouted grain the only bread I can have.
• Butter real butter instead of the fake stuff!
• Eating natural means eating more!

290lbs at 10 years of age?!?!?!?

I just got off the phone and learned my niece weighed in at 290lbs. She is 10 years old!!!!!! I was a heavy kid but never to this extreme. What will become of her? It makes mad, I talk until I am blue try to tell her overweight parents you have got to help her and on the other hand beating myself up for what I do with my kid. I sometimes feel so guilty for saying no to my daughter on sweets. I worry about being too extreme because I give her an alternative snack from what other kids eat at church, they eat junk food she has fruit. I say no to holiday candy i.e. Halloween candy, Easter candy, gorging on Thanksgiving, and Christmas stockings are filled with fruits and nuts! I tell my daughter no to chips, cookies, cakes, and that whole realm of junk and worry she will grow up to feel deprived and say I was a horrible obsessive mother who made her crave these foods my denying her the right to eat them. This year we even cut out birthday cake choosing a cake made with splenda and topped with berries.My daughter has seen how her cousins eat at their birthday parties and heard them talk of fast foods and foods from the fair and the other things we avoid and she has said I remember when we use to go eat fast food or she said after the fair I didn’t get eat cotton candy this time but other kids do. I say something like well you see where that gets your cousins and then she points out how some of the kids who eat bad are still skinny. I try to explain she is cursed with our family’s slow metabolism and she like her cousins will be as huge as a house if she eats that way. She then says what we say that it is not fair if we eat one wrong thing we see a weight gain while other people never eat right and as she put it “they can’t buy a pound”. I then go in to you can’t change that you just have to play with the cards you have been dealt and do what is right for you or suffer the consequences of wrong behaviors like your cousins are doing now. My own family and friends say don’t be so strict when they see me provide healthy food alternatives at family gatherings. BTW, did I mention of four siblings two are now over three hundred pounds, I use to be and the other is still over two hundred pounds as am I. Of all of the siblings children only three are not over weight. My two by diet and exercise and my sisters oldest son who just happens to have inherited the genes from his dad so that he “can’t buy a pound” There are six other children and all are obese. I just want your feed back is there a middle ground I should be walking even though my daughter would not be slim if I did, please don’t tell me she would because she is right our metabolism even with our daily walking exercise is just that slow. Please don’t go there it is an either or not a both. So do I say yes it is just a fact some people can eat anything but we are those who can’t and we must fight that everyday of our lives to defeat it. As I see it the choice is only deny one self of junk food and fight toward a healthy weight for me and keep her where she is at or allow slips and watch the scale slip higher? Am I totally off the deep in?

Welcome to Majors Wellness Center!

After receiving encouragement from some friends I went to visit Dr. Jay Majors today during his free health fair.

His philosophy is this: There is a way that God has made for a person to be healthy, free from Drugs and surgery.

No magic pills here it is about nutrition first and supplements second. I have made so many dietary changes over the past three years I know I am finding the right path, but I don't think I am quite there.

I have learned to drink more water, I get about 120 ozs. a day! I have learned I need to exercises as I have reported I walk and to light weight training other forms of exercises do not seem feasible at this point.

I have cut way down and in most cases altogether cut out forms of refined sugar, corn syrup,etc. In addition I have eliminated other white foods such as bread, potatoes, and other white flour items.

I also try to focus on my percentage of fat, protein and carbs being right amounts.

Even with all this good nutrition I am just creeping along on the scale. I can not keep it consistently going down the line at anyconsistant pace. This doctor say that my thyroid is stressed and he will be able to releif that stress through supplments.

I will be keeping everyone up to date I will have my first appointment on October 22nd.


I really feel this maybe God's leading to the shedding of the rest of my wieght. To God be the Glory for the first 100 lost and to God be the glory for next 100 thatis lost.

Happy Day!!!

I step on the scale this morning and weighed 273! Whooppie!!!

Two pounds down!! Here is a recap of my journey after losing 111lbs by cutting out the no no foods. I was stuck like chuck at 275. I begged for help through buddyslim.com blogs and adhered to advice to eat more and shot up to 285! Yikes!!! How it happened so quickly I have no idea. I continued to blog for advice and turn to prayer. God used several ladies from buddyslim to point out my balance of protein, Carbs, and fat was off. Another dear lady reminded me of the water and more water rule. Also my focus had come off raw foods and I had let my veggie intake slip. Lack of water and veggies led to lack of.... well, you know where I am going with that. OK moving right along (I am now by the way) the weight has started moving and I quickly found my self back to 275. Now on this weigh in I am 273lbs. I have a total of 113lbs lost!

BAM!! Busting through the plateau! It feels good I would skip through the house doing ballerina twirls in my sock feet but I think I would scare the kids!

I get so tickled at these thoughts:

1. I am a miracle in the making because if I go from 386lb to a normal weight it is God's glory because that power is not found in me!
2. If I have the faith of a mustard seed I will actually move a mountain! (((ME I am the mountain!!!))

Happy Day! Happy Day! I am going to get my shout on the day I go under 200lbs! I will be praying for all of you who are on my buddy list at buddyslim.com. Please pray for me. Prayer is the best diet tool we got! I really believe that.

The power of Faith!

Exercise is an important part of our dieting, no disputing that. During the second half of my first 100 lbs of loss I was walking two miles everyday. Now, sadly that I am back to work full time I walk 2 miles 2-3 times a week and do light weight training the same amount of times. During bible study this verse jumped out of the scriptures: 1 Timothy 4:8 (King James Version) For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

Ahh!! There it is my excuse to quit pushing myself to exercise! Of course you all know the scripture can never be used that way so next I found: Proverbs 13:4The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

As I pondered these several phrases jump out at me.

1. godliness is profitable unto all things
Godliness the whole of practical piety (1 Tim. 4:8; 2 Pet. 1:6). "It supposes knowledge, veneration, affection, dependence, submission, gratitude, and obedience." In 1 Tim. 3:16 it denotes the substance of revealed religion.
So what is piety? Am I the only one who didn’t know? Noun 1. Righteousness by virtue of being pious.

"a devoutness" to Christ yes that is definitely profitable unto all things even my diet.


2. having promise of the life that now is
What an inspiring thought that God gives promise to the life that “now is” in addition to the promise of life eternal life for those who will believe!

3. the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
My soul fat, and my body slim! Diligence is the trade mare of a successful dieter as we all know!

So in conclusion I , like many of you, already know living a godly live alone isn’t enough to obtain the promise of eternal life. Living a godly life is only profitable to those who accept Christ’s gift of eternal life. In comparison I think the Lord was teaching me my physical exercise and diligent eating habits will only lead me to the weight I desire if I couple it with my faith in Christ!
So I have decided prayer must be as diligent as breathing for me!

Prayer upon waking! Give me a victorious Diet Day! Help my unbelief Lord!
Prayer during walks! Muscles develop, but fat burns faster!
Prayer during lotion application! Skin tighten fat cell shrink!
Prayer before meals prep! Give me strength to make good choices!
Prayer before eating! Take this food, nourish by body and flush fat from me!
Prayer during showers! Wash away all impurities from me mind, body, and soul!
Prayer at bedtime! May every pound I lose be to the Glory of the Living God!

Matthew 17:20And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Ok I am trying to readjust my diet to bust through my plateau and restart my weight loss journey. After 111lbs I am not going back! I may have stumbled back 5 lbs but I am determined to move that tracker thing toward my goal. But talk about hard to balance today I ran over on protein a bit! Was super low on carbs and just skirted in on fat!I am back to walking two miles two day! Yes!

Daily eating goals. What I will have eaten
Calories 1200 Calories 920
Fat under 35 grams Fat grams 34
Carbs under 70 grams Carbs 25.9
Proteins 103 grams Protein 118

My goals come from calculators found online and after comparing several I found these numbers to be most consistent matches for my weight and height.To much protein is not good because I read extra protein is store as fat!!! Maybe I won’t eat that second piece of Salmon for dinner tonight. In yesterday’s blog I wrote about having a lack of bms. someone pointed out not enough greens in my food journal. After a total of 6 cups greens yesterday things are moving fine.

My sleep was restless lately. Reducing carbs in one day made a difference. I am type 2 diabetic and I know high glucose will make my sleep restless. I slept so well I woke up surprised and check my numbers. 98!!!!! Great results! I will weigh in when I get home this evening maybe I will see good results there too.

I also blog on slimbuudy.com and because this is copied from there you cannot read the many comments I get there. If you would like to read those go to. www.formygirl.com

To all who said I should eat more?!?!?!

I am including my food journal so you can see what I am eating and make suggestions. A recap for anyone who has not read my blogs before, I being a diabetic decide to gain control of my health and began to watch my carbs and cut out white foods and starchy vegatables. I follow this guide line 52.5 carbs breakfast, 60 carbs lunch, 72.5 carbs Supper with two 15 carb snacks. Over all I try to be 210 to 225 in carbs per day. I am including my food journal which I update 9/16 to give more detail.
I began to try to eat mostly raw but was concerned when I stayed at 275 for over a week. I was then advised on this board my body may be in starvation mode. After I started following the carb diet which help me lose the fist 111 lbs I gained back to 285lbs but now at least I have went to 280lbs. The gain scares me to death. I can't go back to 386!
I am also having trouble with BM's. Thus the prunes in yesterday’s menu. I drink 6 to 8 bottles of water everyday so I find it odd I am having this trouble. Surely it must effect my weight so I am trying to get things moving again if you know what I mean.
This site and those of you who have signed up to be my buddies has really been an encouragement to me. Thank all of you who car enough to respond you really make a difference in my life!
Oh BTW one big concern is my exercise due to late work schedule and family/church commitments I have been missing my two mile walk for over a week now. I am determined to get back to it and I hope to do so today even though it is a church day. Pray for me my praying buddies I need it.
