sorry the question didn't down load. I can't correct or put my recipes on my diary? Anyone else having this problem

yes, i was actually wondering about the bone thing since most of your body floats. Kinda like going into Outerspace. lol. I dance to music in the water, do some yoga moves and stretches. My balance has gotten a lot better. I think for the most part swimming is a resistance activity, so I do swim faster to get my heartrate…

Thanks, BC, for the encouragement. I will be back when tests are in which is the end of the month. I lost 11 lbs. over 3 months tho. Am attempting to level off now.

Hi, 71-year-old here. I am down to my desired weight of 130 and hope to keep it off! Worked for three months to take me back down from 154. My labs were bad and had to change diets to help. I don't want to fall back because as you get older, it is really harder to do. Metabolism decreases, mind decreases and plays tricks…

Sorry ladies, it's late and i'm tired and jumping around a lot. To reiterate on a couple of things: I have gone with a lot of changes to increasing my veggies and fruits. Trying to choose the right foods. I have read a lot on polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fats. I understand you don't want to go way over on…

I am high cholesterol/highldls/high vlds. Borderline diabetic. Physician wanted me to go vegetarian because my labs were so bad. I gained back 20 lbs that I'd lost so I had to make a life change. Can't take statins. I am on ezetimibe which doesn't do a lot. Decided to go pescatarian for the omegas that are so important…

I use the morning star chick patties and the meatballs. I think the patties are lower in sodium than some of the others. I actually like the patties. I look forward to eating one. Think it's the crunch. The gardein has a hamburger going on, but i always have to doctor them up with soy sauce or worcheshire sauce. Add tomato…

can you eat crackers? I eat one wasa cracker with 2 tablespoons mashed avocado spread on and two slices roma tomats on top with cracked pepper. very good

And of course stop smoking. my cholesterol and triglycerides and A1C were sky high. Life style change has to happen. of course exercise to change metabolism and strengthen your heart. I do feel much better and act better. getting more done.

your b/p should drop with exercise and cutting out fat content and sugars. I do absolutely no soda. My b/p was 140/80ish. I changed my fat contents cut my portions and cut my sugar to around 30-35 grams a day and my b/p at this point in time is 115ish/60ish. hope this helps. but you have to change what you eat.

too bad we don't have a nutritionist in the family.. I need to ask a coach at gym. they maybe able to help me with the last 10lbs i want to get off.

omega three is easier to digest than the veggie oil. what you want to especially stay away from is the transfats. read up on it. there is also an omega 6 which apparently you want a good ration of 6 and threes..

olive oil has essential omega three in it, I do believe, so I use in moderation, use instead of vegetable oil etc.

went to ruby Tuesdays last night. looked up menu before going. they had a grilled salmon with m.p. and one other side. they did substitute for me from m.p. to baked potato and green beans.. their salmon was delicious I must say. the meal was around 450 cal total which put me over on protein but everything else stayed…

looking at recent labs and thinking of my mothers health problems I am heading towards myself.

both are scarey. guess i wasn't quite done. sorry

both can be either a slow painful death or a fast painful death

sorry: addendum: I would say neither is worse than the other!!!

Being a nurse, I have seen struggles with both. lots of discussion on lung issues r/t smoking. Now a look at obesity: decreased mobility making it extremely hard for the pt. but also the caretakers. Easily to get open areas in folds of body r/t sweat and rubbing of the folds against each other. Lots of times you also see…

I'm a 65 yo woman, who needs to lose about 15 lbs, and noticed i'm starting to gain a lot easier. I keep hearing count calories to lose, which is true but exercise helps and works off calories. My husband and I go to the gym after eating, so we know how many calories we need to burn. lol. Also for people who can't go to…

hi! just started a diet and exercise. my insurance pays for a fitness gym(silver sneakers) started going at least three times a week. Thank goodness they have tvs and a radio hookup. We set a tv up in front of our stepper at home to help with boredom. Does help a lot when we exercise at home. my big problem on dieting is I…
