  • I joined NutraSystem in the 1990s and lost 108 pounds. Unfortunately I didn't learn a thing and gained it back after a few years. I've tried various other diets since and a few have been what I was looking for and would loose 30-35 pounds and gain it back. Yes, NutraSystem is pricy, but worked for me then and I'm expecting…

  • When exercising my mantra is: Calories in. . . calories out. One for the kitchen is: if you bite it. . . write it.

  • That sounds like fun! I'm going to get the Zumba Core for Wii. I don't dance well, but I do like the Wii "Just Dance". I had the best time, and didn't realize I had been dancing for 20 minutes!!

  • I'm a firm believer in fitbit. You can clip it on your bra, your waste band or drop it in your pocket. And, since you are a CNA, I know you have pockets. The fitbit ONE has a secure clip, and usually clip it on my bra and forget about it for hours. I don't put it on my waste band because I've had other pedometers to fall…

  • Reading this thread, is very comforting. Now I know I'm not alone. I have found through trial and error, that if I have something sweet, that a craving starts and that's difficult to ignore. I have also found that a strong protein for breakfast, and it's easier to avoid sugar carbohydrates the rest of the day. My husband…

  • No, I would never stop a prescribed medication without the doctor's orders! I certainly don't need cardiac issues from low K+ (that's what I was trying to avoid in the first place). I'm 54 and my dad died at 50 from an MI. I'm trying to improve my health and not go down the same path. In doing research in the past, that…

  • Hi Amy! Today is day one for me. I too have diabetes and high blood pressure and I need to get them under control. One day at a time is all I can say. I find it easier to turn down food, when I have to be accountable for it. I think that's why this site will help.
