Sorry to hear of your dilemma - you may just need longer for the sinus issues to settle but I have a condition which isn't diabetes but is linked to low blood sugar - what happens if I am not careful is this. about 20 mins after eating a meal with processed carbs i feel very very dizzy ( not nauseous though) I have to sit…

just keep doing it. it's a habit and takes effort to start like all journalling but it really opens your eyes and helps keep you on track - good luck

i have never heard of Lotus root but will look into this. I am not vegetarian at all but truly love vegetables. Thanks for suggestion

I love e roasted celariac, parsnip, sweet potatoes, beetroot, fennel and red onion. Just peel and slice into big chunks. put in a roasting bah to keep your oven clean ( I hate cleaning unnecessarily) and put 2 teaspoons low fat olive oil. balsamic vinegar nd honey in a cup - mix well and poor into veg bag. shake around so…

Welcome to you as well - I changed my life at 51 after my divorce but it took me 12 years to make all the changes - be patient - I was a slow learner. You can do it - one step at a time is all it takes

Not in the alcoholic sense but in realising how much I put into my moth of 'healthy food' - my portions are definitely a problem. its quite a discipline remembering everything and when the Blackberry app is launched life will be much easier for me to record as I go…

Hi - Just to say good luck to you. I really wish that when i was your age i had taken control of my health and fitness and not left it until I was 51 years old. hopefully you don't need to loose the 203 pounds I have - only 12 to go now and then maintain. Go for it girl - your kids are a great inspiration as what you do…

Super article _ saved to desktop now so no excuses for me - or at least until i find time to dream up some new ones. Thanks for sharing.

Good luck to you . You can do it I have no doubt but for me exercise is the key ( and not simply so you can eat more) and eating extremely healthily 80%+ of the time vital. I have just joined My Fitness Pal as I am 56 and realise more than ever that on line support and friendship while trying to take on board this kind of…
