I don't believe that bad food and over eating causes heart attacks. But it is true that people that have bad habits have other comorbities. There are so many factors. Genetics, weight, age, sex, etc. I am 40 lost 35 pounds and they put me on water pill for elevated BP. Update: my husband lost 11 pounds in 5 months and has…

I haven't read this post in awhile and I don't take people's opinions personally, if you think I am back stabbing my husband that is perfectly fine. I do nothing without research so I know that being within a healthy weight in beneficiAl in many aspects of your life. As a Hospice nurse I see people of all ages regret not…

1. I am always cold now 2. Feeling comfortable in jeans and trying something on and they fit. 3. My shoulders 4. The comparative side of me. Running and running faster or longer 5. The fear of not maintaining the weight. Happened 2 other times. 6. My husband doesn't like that I lost weight

I always have shin splints when i start. I have a shin wrap. Like a knee support but for your shins. My doc also told me to do the alphabet with your feet each side three times a day. Its like doing circles but do the alphabet

I first went to Aldi in Germany: now I have one 4 mileas away. Love it. It is true produce you need to eat fairly quickly but we have chickens who eat all are leftovers and the price makes it ok to waste some. Great prices. Cereals 1.70 soy milk 229 compared to 359. And I always buy my oatmeal and breakfast stuff. THEY…

Try Senna-S its over the counter. It helps soften your stool and help you go. As a nurse I always give warm prune juice, yucky but works. After my surgery she told me to have high fiber foods. I was freaked about going.

I;m sorry. The place I work isn't union and what they say and do is sometimes different. Usually people are never let go for being late, med errors etc but when they do let someone go its usually high up and blindsided. I am always feeling I am going to be let go even though it isn't warranted. Working in a environment…

You can add me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what I am doing. To lose 1.5 pounds I needed 1450 calories. I bumped it up to 1680 on my own. I try to stay within that but usually one day a week I go over 200 calories. I usually lose 1-2 pounds a week, one week 3 and one week I stay even (period). I do not count my exercise, I add it as a bonus. I think you need…

I have noticed when I don't drink it I get a major headache. I LOVE coffee just want to reduce how much I drink.

LOVE THEM

I'm gonna have to try green tea. I have started to bring my own meals. We get breakfast free on Mondays and are cook makes lunch on Sundays. If I crave a chicken finger, instead of having 5 I put 2 on a salad, its filling. I am big on portion control, I have always been a over eater. I continue to make sure I eat what I…

I did practice questions all day everyday. Kaplan review book is a must. I liked the flash card questions I even did them in the bath tub. The kaplan book will give you hints there is somethings on the nclex that is always on them.

I work until 8pm and by the time I sit down to have my snack, which I NEED to have a snack before bed its more like 930pm. I also feel I need a "junkie snack" if you know what I mean. I have learned to cut down my portion size and stay within my calorie range. I still might have ff pudding with whip cream. a brownie or…

wondering the same thing. I love Buffalo!!!!

Yep I feel embarrassed when I look at other peoples daily journal. I still have a real snack but try to stay within my daily caloric range. Seems to be working for me. If I don't I think I might just over eat
