    The Scale /skāl/

    A method of measuring one's total body weight that isn't nearly as important as you may think it is. It's good for distinguishing overall trends, but on a day to day basis, it will just cause you frustration and grief.

    LOL ^^^ THIS....

    In the perfect world I would be able to develop a plan of exercise that covered all things equally, but I have found that I just end up doing a lot of things not so well. As someone with 100+ to lose, if I want to pick one thing and do it well is it better to pick cardio first to help with substantial weight loss? Is there any undesireable consequences to waiting to add strength training?

    I'm no expert, but I'm sure there isn't a health consequence. Focus on losing weight and doing cardio or any exercise you like and will do consistently. When you're closer to your goal weight you can look at strength training then. You might want to make yourself do a little strength training now (which could be body weight work) along with the cardio purely to build the discipline of doing both things.

    </b>Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.</b> Any exercise you can do consistently will help. Don't overwhelm yourself and end up doing nothing.

    LOVE this quote! I have recently fallen into the trap of trying to find the "perfect" diet and weight training plan...so much so, that it is hard to stick to one plan...I think that being active and aware of what I eat will help regardless of the "perfect" plan. Thanks for the great reminder!

    I used to have the same problem.
    I stopped taking BP medication (dr told me to..BP is normal now. don't need them anymore). They made me pee a lot (TMI, sorry), and I was losing very important things from that..like potassium, and salt that my body NEEDED!
    Anyways...I eat a banana every morning when I get up. It helps.
    Have your inner ear checked...I know I have had Vertigo issues in the past.
    Also....please start eating some whole grains! Your body NEEDS them to function properly! Good, complex carbs (whole grain/wheat, multi-grains, oatmeal, etc.) are what you shoul be striving for!!!!
