Had open heart surgery in March just as Covid set in here in Canada. Partially recovered then got severe sepsis that was harder to deal with as this iv lasted until August. So November is getting cold but it’s great to be alive so I’ll start saying no again to the unhealthy seasonal sweets and yes to more fruits and whole…

Congratulations Keep up the great work !!!

Good to be back. Thanks

Thanks. Appreciate that.

Hello everyone, Its been along time since I posted, primarily due to being a caregiver for my elderly mother since late 2017 which took up 24/7 of my time and sheer exhaustion at the end of the day or middle of night never seemed to allow for enough time to write down what I was eating and unfortunately I've regained some…

Congratulations!!!

Cheers to everyone on reaching 600 members !

I've got high cholesterol but its genetic as all my other blood lipid panel is fine and I've been tested extensively. FYI, I've survived two major heart attacks about 18mths ago so I'm one of those that while I was in the hospital for almost a month was put on statins. The pain they caused was not worth it and my…

Had to start wearing my wedding band on my opposite hand as it keeps falling off my finger. I guess my other hand didn't get the memo to lose weight yet. LOL.

Welcome Tracey. We look forward to hearing from you.

I'm sorry to hear that. Condolences to you and your family.

I've been making homemade black bean burgers with tons of veggies thrown in,, topped with no-fat cheese which are getting me through the "cheeseburger" fix. Haven't had red meat in a year now. Tough for someone who grilled steaks a few times a week before. Going on with sweet potato home made baked fries (no saturated…

Input what you feel is reasonable based on the above calculations weight/distance as a cushion for those days when the "gremlins" are lurking. Good luck !

Are you looking to "eat back" your exercise calories or do you want to just record them to show that you are moving and losing.

Well done !!! Welcome to Onederland.

I don't judge anymore. Things happen to others some are visible others have heart disease or cancer or another invisible ailment. Maybe he's not kicking *kitten* yet because he hasn't found his/her way. Or they have and have a long road in front of them. Be kind to others. If you knew their story maybe you would feel…

Haven't used salt in over a year. Boy can I taste it though. My son and I went to a fast food place last week and I ordered a salad but he had the fries and burger. I thought I'd try one french fry. OMG !!! It was so salty I sat there and drank my water. Yuck. Not using salt definitely changes your taste buds.

Thursday I celebrated the 1st anniversary of my first HA and today is the 1st anniversary of my second HA. Unlike Farback, I'm not strapping on scuba gear but I'm certainly glad to be here and have had the opportunity in the past year to see my son graduate high school and preparing for entry into university and to enjoy…

As always, I'm still reading all of the new member posts and am inspired to continue on my own quest to better health and trust that each one of you have some way of connecting with others. Be kind to one another and live life to the fullest every day. Welcome to all of our new members... Heart2Health

Welcome Farback and congrats on your quick recovery and being able to run and lift at this point. Keep up the good work. I give you alot of credit in having come back so quickly, I had 2 heart attacks within 3 days in July 2014 and spent almost the entire month in the hospital. Like you, this was genetic. You live about…
