    Arrow Doug In Calif and over 50

    Well here I am in the over 50 place on here. A second place to be at home too. I will start posting on here now too. I am sure I will have lots of good news to post from now to when ever. I never give up. I have to meet my goal. I want the last part of my life to be a healthy one. I don't want to end up on alot of meds. Plus I want to be able to do things too. Plus I am done being fat. I want to get nice and trim. I was so fat for so many years. I am tired of that for sure. I am working my way down to 200 lbs or maybe even 180 lbs. Soon as it cools off some I will be on my treadmill again too. I am healing up pretty good now. So it won't be long till I can do things and not have to worry about hurting myself. So howdy my friends I am here for the long haul. Doug in Calif..... :)

    Arrow Howdy All

    Well it is going to be very hot here today. It said on the news it would be like 107 f. Hot hot hot. It is going to cool off for a couple of days and then back to this heat again. It can't last to much longer as fall is just around the corner. Well this week I am buying a new Green Star
    Juicer to juice greens better. Like broccoli Stems that don't do well in my blender. But In this juicer I will get lots of juice out of them. Plus many other things it will juice so well too. I am getting it to juice greens with. I have other juicers for other stuff. I like to drink as much green juice as I can as it is the juice that Heals. Plus it is very Alkaline and that helps me lose weight too. Lemonade fresh is good for that too. Most people think it is acid, but your body turns it to Alkaline. Just don't every put sugar in it. Because that will turn it to acid. You can put Stevia in it that works. Plus I always make sure to drink alot of water. Juice does not count as water. People make that mistake alot. Oh I also wanted to say thanks for the warm welcome to the over 50 group too. I know I will like it over here too. There are so many of use that are over 50 on this board too. We need to stay with is and get real healthy. Raw is the way to go too. The green juices are full of the stuff we need too. Plus all the wonderful Salads one can have too. Not to bad for sure. Plus this way of eating makes you feel so good too. I love that nice light feeling. It's the best for sure. Well be back for more later so bye for now Doug in Calif loving his greens...

    Arrow Green Juice

    Oh I like Celery and Romaine Plus many more green juices too. The only fruits I add to them are tomatoes or bell pepper. It adds alot of flavor to the green drinks. I found a Place in AZ. to buy my juicer at so I don't have to pay for the taxes of Calif. It would be like an extra 32.00 and it is just one state away so it will be here in a day or two. I know I am going to love this one for sure. Doug In Calif Loving his greens... :)

    Doug . . . you are awesome. I appreciate your trying to keep us over 50 going. I had just about given up on us. I was so happy and appreciative when we got our own forum, but the interest just dwindled away. I had surgery last Wednesday and just have not been up to trying to keep it going. Thank you so much.

    It seems to me that those of us over 50 are rather special people to be interested in such a drastic change at our age. And other 50's are really an encouragement. And we can certainly encourage others!

    Keep us going, Doug!

    Arrow Howdy

    Well I hope your doing ok after being in the hospitol and all takes alot our of you. I just went through that last month myself and am still not feeling whole yet. You mean alot to me. Your my biggest supporter too. So thank you so much for that. I post on here for people that need inspiration to see it can be done. I myself love to read what people post on my Threads too. It makes me feel so good to know that people really care too. Oh I got my green star cs 2000 juicer yesterday and tried it out last night. It worked very well and it was easy to clean. The pulp comes out dry. So it is getting all the juice out. It will get lots of use too. I will still have my green smoothies too. I am glad also to see your back on here posting again too. Doug in Calf.........:) :) :)
