I do that a lot. Maybe it's boredom, but I eat so much when I'm usually not that hungry. I do know that my protein intake is on the low side and my sugar and fat intake is on the high side. In the past, when I was doing a good balance with my diet, it took me at least a week to get over craving certain foods. I'm also…

It's good that you're under a doctor's care. Did the doctor say how much to cut down on your exercises? Are there other exercises that might be better for you to do? I wonder if gentle water aerobics would be good since the water helps keep your body temperature down. Do you need a doctor's OK to do the exercises - if you…

Hi. I'm sorry you're in a "bad/sad" place right now. But, you've taken the first big step and each week will get better, one day at a time. Don't beat yourself up for slips. Keep on top of the diabetes. As you are able to add exercise and change your eating, your insulin requirements may change. I don't have diabetes, but…

Hi. It must be about time for your next TKR. Good luck with it. Sounds like you were doing great with your first knee, although I know that the second knee could've caused some problems with advancing your exercises. I had both knees done in 2014, but haven't done too well due to excessive scar tissue development in each…

Hi. I just started 3 days ago. I'll be 64 later this month. I had both knees done in 2014 (3 1/2 months apart) but haven't recovered yet. I developed scar tissue & for the past 7 months have had tearing scar tissue & new scar tissue forming. Totally sedentary & need to change. I need to lose 60-80 pounds. I have tried so…

Good luck. I crave Cokes and am now trying to give them up. I started 3 days ago, and I'm gradually decreasing each day, so it won't be such a huge hit. I think it takes at least a few weeks, if not a month, to stop having cravings. I noticed that the food section lists sugar grams, and my recommended amount is 50 grams.…

Hi. I'll be 64 in less than 2 weeks and need to lose quite a bit of weight. Yesterday I saw my doctor, and she said try to lose 5 pounds, but the truth is, I need to lose about 70 - 80 pounds. I am totally inactive. I had total knee replacements in 2014, and my knees didn't respond too well as they were so damaged…

Hi CanaDana11 and others. This is my second day. My doctor told me yesterday to lose a minimum of 5 pounds, but I know she really means to lose 50+ (more like 80). I go back to see her in 6 months. I am very inactive due to total knee replacements 15 & 19 months ago that didn't turn out too well. I've lost weight before…
