Weightloss
Since I left the blogs a few years back, I've lost a considerable amount of weight....as shown in my "before" photos below..
...through daily biking of at least 8 miles a day and eliminating carbohydrates from the food I eat...I also steer clear of processed foods that are frozen or packaged in boxes or cans, everything I eat is fresh. Im not getting any younger so I take care of what I do have today....usage of Noxema for over 20 years has drastically delayed the wrinkles for me, as I'm over 40 and have very few. Anyone else have any of their own ideas they use to keep their youth? Or any stories of self improvement? Or tips for weightloss, excercise, eating healthy or health in general? Inquiring minds want to know

After having my son (28 years ago) I gained and gained, everything I tried, I failed, I hit 107.5 kilos at one stage, and was desperate, I hated my photo being taken, and, was unable to look at myself in the mirror.
You look stunning, really great, well done !!
Lost a lot of weight (gained and lost mainly through being sick years ago) and keeping my weight for many years now.
Very few wrinkles, never smoked or drank a lot and looked after my skin. Switched from pharmacy bought skincare to doing my own creams and beauty stuff with good oils and butters to cut down on chemicals in these products.
There is a series of brilliant books and I can't recall the author atm.
Pinterest has a ton of recipes and it's a matter of finding out what works for you. Made below face cream, it's a bit oily initially but absorbs well.
Homemade Face Lotion for Sensitive Skin
• 3 Tbsp Shea butter –
• 3 Tbsp Apricot Seed Oil
• 1 tsp Vitamin E
• 1 tsp Aloe Vera Gel
• Essential Oils – I used 7 drops Lavender and 7 drops frankincense.
Put the Shea butter into a bowl for mixing. Using a hand mixer or your Kitchen Aid blender with whisk attachment, start whisking away. Drizzle in the apricot kernel oil, Vitamin E, Aloe Vera Gel, and then the essential oils.
If anyone has a recipe about homemade shampoo that works please let me know.

They are the Queen Garnet plums pictured below:
I was eating two each day until the growing season ended, now I'm buying the nectar, available in 250ml bottles, each bottle contains the juice of about 3-4 plums.
There is only one company 'Nutrafruit' with the commercial rights to this product and they are absolutely inundated with orders from around the world this year:
One really needs to read the whole story about these plums:
This product is absolutely amazing

You could buy online directly yourself but the cost of shipment would be somewhat prohibitive I live only 1,000 kilometers away and it would cost me nearly $15 for a 10 pack of juice to buy online, therefore I have my local supermarket chain buy in bulk to supply all their hundreds of stores and makes it cheaper for myself.

and all the other ladies too.
Wish my two little heavy weights had a success story also...
but alas not all mothers wishes do come true
As for beautiful skin, what you put into your body shows on the outside, so a fresh healthy diet results in fresh healthy looking skin..plenty of water too along with BEETROOT juice considering of course your not dibetic that is.
Beetroot juice, another something fore to look into..thank ya so much, lady
