Hi Barbara raw means unpasturized or processed by heat.
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted but I do read the posts late at night. I am so pleased to see that so many are having weight loss already. My challenges are no worse than anyone else. I find it difficult to motivate myself to get off my butt to do a 2 mile walk. But, over the last 10 days I have missed only 3 and now I have myself actually jogging 100 steps at a time 8 times in the 2 miles! This is a miracle because I have terrible lungs & my heart races with even the walking. So congratulations to everyone & I take a hearty pat on the back for myself. BTW the scale has moved…about 8 pounds. Not much but it is great for me. I love this cruise!
Hiya again, excellent to hear your good news Patty weight loss and lots of excercise. Dawnrosie, one step at a time, at least you managed something, hopefully you be able to get on a bit better after your move, sorry to hear about your cat. I do hope your move brings brighter times ahead, but in the mean time while your busy are you able try eat just a little fruit, nuts or yogurt between your meals to keep your energy up and build up you food intake? and hope you got your heating fixed….. Mary Ellen, love the sound of your dragon skins scarves sound amazing, glad you got something to keep your hands busy, I remember the bother my brother had after a few days chemo so hope your finding something nice to help sooth you, are checking out the receipes to try when you feel a bit better, I love the pasta primavera, but done it without the sauce….. Love the sound of your fat water flush Dawn Heffley, will give that a try for sure, shame peppermint doesn’t agree with you Chia, as I find it a godsend to sooth my heatburn, but good luck with increasing your water intake. If you find a good tea substittue please let us know, I do love a cup of tea too…..Annaleearmos who has your day been? did you manage a bike ride today? Have you tried your breadmaking yet Awayagin4….Did you sleep well Seaborn? I had a good eating day and even managed a little excercise for 30 mins. Tonight I had a break from it all and made pizza..well when in italy it hard not make pizza…but I was adviced to ease into this eating plan, by making small changes to help ensure the changes stay inbedded in my lifestyle. A couple of questions if anyone can help…. if you can’t find swg flour what alternative can be used?….and has anyone every tried acai berry or raspberry ketone supplements as a friend is raving about them?
Hi Harbourview, congratulations on losing this week 🙂 I love seeing the scale go down, don’t you? Good luck with your journey on this cruise.

Hello all. Just to make things a bit easier on you all, my name is Anna. I have not told my story and since we are all a pretty tight knit cruise ship, I don’t mind telling. My name is Anna Lee Ramos. I am 30 and a mother of 3. I am an ARMY veteran and my weight when I started was 298 lbs. I am now 288 lbs. This is Day 5 for me and really like it. My body has been through a lot of pain due to degenerative arthritis. I take a load of meds for it as well as all my other overweight problems. I have problems with my back and right side, due to accidents in and out of the military. Unknown amounts of physical therapy and an alcoholic, clean for going on ten years. I have MST (Military Sexual trauma) And PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) from the MST. I have terrible night terrors from it and I went from using alcohol being my crutch to food. I guess for a long time, I wanted to make myself unattractive so that I wouldn’t get hurt again. The only problem with that is that my body does not appreciate it. LOL I guess I am at that point in life where I want control of my thoughts and emotions back. I will no longer allow my assailants in the past win any longer. This is my mind, my body, and my love for myself. So there is my story and I hope I didn’t scare any one. Love you all. Anna
Good to see you Misfit. Anna, yet another brave lady, as dawnroise said before we all have our own stories and reasons for being here, I’m not scared one bit, just touched you have been brave enough to share your story, the more we know the more we understand each others personnal journey, and well done with 10 years on the wagon, if you can do that you really can do anything. I wouldn’t know where to start on my story, but I can relate to you suffering MST and PTSD, especially the wanting to make yourself unattractive part, but go girl, love the fact your turning it around now and I believe everyone here will be routing for you on this cruise. Oh and by the way, trying to eat yourself bigger to be unattractive didn’t work, you look stunning in your picture. I used Angel meditation to help me get back on track and feel good to be me again. How did today go for you then?
annaleeramos: Of course your story hasn’t scared anyone away 🙂 We all have our stories. Lots of love and strength to use this program to your benefit with great results! I have had my problems too, and some of them many years ago, also made me not want to be attractive to boys when I was young and men when I got older. It just caused jealousy, even though I could be trusted. I guess it was the insecurity in the men that caused them to be jealous. I think that even though I am happily married to my second husband who is not jealous like my first husband, I still have that feeling underneath that I won’t be bothered if I don’t look very attractive. Wish I could get over it 🙂 I’d love to look like I used to 🙂
Goodmorning my sailing buddies….
just a quick read through this morning (hahhaha) as I am spending time with my man (the weekend and he is home from work) and going out for a bit…so struggling to get the food in and talk, and get myself ready to go out with our little local family.
Anna, you gorgeous girl…read your story…I can identify with you in so many areas. Not a military girl, but suffered as a child between 4 and 9, and like you I was on a mission to make myself unattractive. Sort of a protective techinique, but not a good one…heheh! I learned that we are what we are, and after years of drinking (from childhood) and other things that come with the territory, My marriage was a mess, and I turned to God, and my life changed overnight. I was free and the pain dissappeared…the scars are there of course. I forgave my assailant, but haven’t excused what he did…forgiving is not about forgetting…just taking the load off yourself. Anyway, my husband and I have both put our faith in Jesus Christ 30 years ago, and we live by His Word now. It is never perfect, but we have changed, and will continue to until the day we leave this world.
I agree with Jackiee…you are still beautiful girl. And I hope you got some sleep last night. I was in bed at 8.30!!! Amazing!!! Don’t get much, usually in bed about midnight! But last night I couldn’t stay awake…the night before I slept with wires and things all over me while I did my sleep test, so I obviously didn’t get much sleep.
Welcome aboard Jewel from Alberta Canada….and any others that have joined us over the past couple of days.
Good on you Harbourview and any others who have lost some weight. Dawn,I have had a couple of days like yours and I am assuming the weekend will be like it too…a bit hard with others around. Yesterday some old friends were driving up the highway and dropped in on us…so I didn’t get all my food in!!! Was lovely to catch up with them of course.
DawnHeffley…thanks for that water recipe….gonna give it a go, but sway grapefruit with lemon, and tangerine with maybe orange or just lemon. My husband is finding it hard to drink just water!!!
Anyway, must go…
Happy sailing today everyone…Bev.Thank you everyone for such kind words and wonderful encouragement. I am so happy we have all found one another, joined by a common goal. It kind of me of the movie (you’ve got mail). Haha. Hey Bev. you just have you a great weekend with the hubby and the friends. We are all here for you when you need us. Take care everyone. I will try my best to get some rest tonight. I still need to eat my snack and clean up a bit before bed tonight. Talk to you all in my morning. Good night. 🙂
