I can't eat first thing in the morning, just can't :( Drives my Dr's nuts lol. I had gotten into the habit though of drinking my breakfast so she's happy about that. My go to breakfast smoothy is a handful of frozen fruit (my fav lately is either peaches & pineapple, or blueberries, strawberries etc). I live on a blueberry…

My doc has said the same thing. She did tell me that there is a window of opportunity to where yes you can reverse diabetes. She also sent me to a nutritionist/dietitian who told me the BEST thing in the world I can do is lift weights. Says that the muscle does something to the insulin but I honestly forgot what she said…

Getting ready to start again after a knee injury :( I will be taking it very slow with little to no squats though :( I tore my MCL about a month ago so it's very slowly healing up.

Hi, the Armour thyroid is derived from a pig instead of in a lab if I understand it correctly - this is what I found on their website also - Armour Thyroid is a natural, porcine-derived thyroid hormone replacement containing both T4and T3. What it would do for someone that is not hypothyroid I have no idea shrug. As for…

Hi all- Hypothyroidism here too :) I've been living with it for about 4 years now and just recently went way down on my medication. I have to take Armour thyroid which is a natural medicine - the Levo gives me heart palpitations and scares the living daylights out of me. Anyway- I was on 60mg a day Armour for about 4 years…

Hi, not familiar with this method myself at this time, but I did do Body for Life a few years ago and now I'm addicted to Body Beast program. I use from 5lbs all the way up to 25lb dumbells, not sure if that helps you or not :)

My husband recently bought me a Nutri Ninja blender, I've been getting my greens in with smoothies. I honestly can't even taste the greens in there. I just literally toss a handful of frozen fruits, some icecubes, agave for sweetener, greens (kale, spinach and chard) and blend away. The blender makes it into the smoothest…

Count me in this group also :) I would like to lose between 100 - 110 lbs myself :) I had found a weight lifting program a few months ago that I was really enjoying and losing weight on, but I hurt my back while lifting my dog into the tub ugh - still painful but much better than it was. I'm going to be getting back on the…

Hubby, my 24 yr old son and myself started Body Beast three weeks ago- so far we love it. We are getting ready to start week 4 this coming Monday. I did a round of body for life several years ago and really enjoyed it- loved lifting weights and the changes it made to my body. Unfortunately life happened and for whatever…
