Kinda dropped the ball on you guys the last couple years - lots has happened in my life but I won't go into that. I want to recycle the enthusiasm we had when this group started and begin fresh. Are there any members still hanging around willing to give it a go?
Spring is just around the corner and we will be wanting to bring out those shorts and T-tops. I think it might be time to kick it into high gear and make some plans and set some goals for the upcoming month. Consider taking the time and responding to this post with your own stats. Let's restate our weight issues first of…
Hi there. This is what I will be following, according to the doc to lower my tryglicerydes. All my other counts are normal. My tryglicerydes are 233 which is high but doesn't warrant medicine as my other counts are normal. 1,500 calories a day 30-60 grams fat 170-240 grams carbs 25 grams fiber 55-95 grams protein It's…

Drink your weight in water today. 2. Cut your current weight in…

Gonna have several of you with restrictions due to medical conditions so do your best to modify the challenges or come up with something to replace it with. Bottom line is that you DO SOMETHING to move your bottom! Today's challenge - find the…
Today's challenge is to eat your daily allowance of FIBER. Make sure you do NOT exceed your calorie and carb allowances for the day. Most of us do NOT meet our recommended allowance of fiber each day. IMPORTANT NOTE: Increase your fluid intake for the day as fiber absorbs water and you can easily become dehydrated or…
Posting this EARLY as it may take a trip to the market....... Eat a rainbow for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Include the colors - RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, PURPLE. Color additives do NOT count. Good luck with the blue and the purple. jp
