Introduction Text I'm Lis and I joined in 2008 needing to lose those last 10 pounds again. I'd lost 35 pounds in 2005, another 11 in 2006, gained some back and I was in the 141-145 range for a few years. Late 2009 we moved from Colorado to Mexico, and over the years the weight crept up, getting over 150 a few times but in January 2013 I found a way of eating that works for me and I am back around 135 since March 2013 and the focus has shifted to maintenance in the 134-139 range. My favorite activities are yoga, pickleball, walking and sea kayaking. August 2015 I started taking a Pilates class twice a week and I love it. March 2016 I participated in a pickleball tournament and won the bronze in the 3.0 women's double and the silver in the 3.0 mixed doubles! I have come a long way from the couch potato I used to be!! 2019 - we are moving to Spain! A whole new set of challenges food wise. 2020 - we are living in the countryside, off the grid ~ a whole new adventure! The nearby town has a wonderful market, loads of fresh organic produce.



The end of March 2005 I started the Michael Thurmond 6 week body make-over. Finally something worked! I lost 35 pounds in 5 months. Over the next 9 months I lost another 11, down to 134. That was hard to maintain. Jan 2008 - The weight crept back up to 145 over the last 8 months - now it's time to lose those 10 pounds again. July 2010 - went below 140 for the first time in over 3 years!! November 2010 - I'm back up in my "comfy" range 141-145 January 2013 - gained a few (!) over the last years to 151 but back with the program! February 2013 - back below 140 :) March 31st 2013 - at goal! 135 July 2013 - 134, back to my old low and then DD came to visit for a few months.. Fall 2013: 140 goal to get to or below 135 again February 2014: back on The Plan September 2014: new low 133

After living in beautiful SW Colorado, near Pagosa Springs for 13 years, we are now living in San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico. 2009/2010 was our first winter in San Carlos - great to be out of the snow! It is a great place to live for most of the year and it is nice to visit Colorado for part of the summer. Summer 2014 we didn't go north and had a wonderful time staying in Mexico and even experiencing a hurricane. 2019: After nearly 10 years in Mexico we are moving to Spain We spent a year in Turre (Almería) near the coast and early 2020 we moved near Caudete (Albacete) and we are off the grid, living in the middle of olive and almond fields
