for cramps, make sure you have potassium, calcium and vitamin d. Go online and get a good post walk/run stretching workout. I have one that takes 4 minutes, but helps tremendously

I started running almost 2 years and 45 pounds ago. It definitely is a way to lose weight and keep it off. I had the help of a doctor, pills and diet plan also. It's takes a village to make me lose weight. The key is to set a goal. I started in November for a half marathon in February. WRONG!!!! I only ran about a 1/3 of…

Most important thing is to weigh at the same time of the day with the same clothing on (I do naked). My doc's scale is about 4 pounds heavier than my home one but I am not naked at the doc's office. It's more important to know if you are losing or gaining, than what you actually weigh. And remember, if you work out in the…

I asked a high school trainer about heart rate. She said that your heart rate is too high if you can't do math. What she means is, if you need to run 3-1/2 more miles and your about .7 miles from home, how far do you run before you turn around. If you don't know, your heart rate is too high. Walk till your thinking clears.…

You could have an ovarian cyst. They cause pain at ovulation. If it's unbearable - go to the doc. That could be an etopic pregnancy. If it's just aggravating, calendar it and tell your doc and your next annual.

I started running. Running races. I have a goal and a plan to get to it, so I have to eat accordingly. I don't mean that you need to run. You need a goal and plan. Choose a goal that will repeat itself. Not a family wedding, but something like "looking better every time the family sees me" which is Christmas, Easter, 4th…

I went to my doctor and got prescription pills. Even with the cost of the doctor, they are less expensive than the over the counter kinds and I know I'm not hurting my health. They also work much better.

you reach back for your butt and it's a few inches higher than it used to be.

There is a weight loss program here in town that does exactly that. 500 calories a day and no exercise allowed. They give you injections of something and take blood work each week and only allow this part of the program to last 3 weeks. That is my answer. If it requires doctors looking over your shoulder and they only want…

I use tomato paste as a base for spaghetti sauce. Add as much water as you want to make it the thickness you like. Add basil, oregano, garlic salt or garlic powder, cracked black pepper and a bay leaf as the sauce boils. If you want a meat sauce, pan fry any type of ground meat in a teaspoon of olive oil. If you like…

I went from walking to running. Each pound I lose makes the running that much easier. So, I think the secret is to find some other motivation than just how you look. It can be Zumba (my sis loves that), ballroom dancing, weight lifting, swimming, roller skating, bowling.... anything you like to do that is physical. Then,…

Mine is much lower now that I have been exercising for over 6 months. But, do watch the weather. If your heart rate is rising higher because you are exercising in the heat, don't let it. When I run outside, I stop to walk a while anytime my heart rate gets too high, Be careful outside.

Chop cucumbers into tiny cubes, add dill, garlic salt, black pepper and any other spice you like. Makes a good dip for vegetables for you and chips for the kids.

The South Beach diet works pretty much the same way. The book is written by a doctor and explains the process pretty well. It is okay for a short period of time and the book leads you to a healthy lifetime diet. But remember, the first 5 pounds for most people is water weight and comes back later. Debbie Kimbriel
