OK. I can see your diary now. You are making healthy choices for the most part but you are not eating enough. You need to eat at least 1200 calories every day. Less than that and you do not have enough nutrition to support your organ function etc. You need to drink at least 8 glasses of water, have some protein at every…

You can search for Miriam D'souli under find members. Good luck on your journey. Lots of good information here. You will have to know Miriam's user name though.

I feel your pain. First, you need to open your diary so people can offer suggestions. If I read your post right you did loose weight...10 lbs which you admit was water most likely, so you should not be surprised that you gained the water weight back. You need to log on every day and record your calories and be patient. It…

You don't have to keep justifying your situation. I think everyone gets it that your choices about living situation are limited but as I said b4 your choices about how you respond to your sister are not. Find a way to isolate yourself from her when her behavior is not acceptable, let her know why you are doing that and…

This. Toxic people like to spread their toxin to everyone else so everyone can be as miserable as they are. You don't have to accept that behavior and if you do you are sort of enabling her to continue. I am sorry that your family has experience such upheaval and there are probably some valid reasons for your sister's…

This is the new recommended amount of sodium from the CDC...1500 mg/day. I try to stay in that area.

I tried that brand but I didn't like it at all. Go figure.

I would also consider doing some physical therapy first to get you past the acute phase before you move into the yoga. Try Ibuprofen if not contraindicated. Check back with your doctor to see if he will prescribe a short course of PT. After that, Yoga class would be great. Check your local community center for the city you…

The forums are helpful for learning but the real kernel of the program comes from logging on every day and recording your calories, exercise and water. It is helpful to plan ahead and eat healthy foods. Good luck.

Thanks.

Work on the suggestions here re: food intake and required calories. If those suggestions don't work you need to see a doctor. So many possibilities for medical reasons for fatigue that you should not just guess. Thyroid, Mono, Anemia (need to know cause and type), and multiple other possibilities that required physician…

These noodles are made from glucomanan. This is a soluble fiber that makes you feel full. If taken in large amounts can cause cramping and diarrhea and can interfere with the absorption of some medications so you should take your meds an hour before you plan to ingest the glucomanan. If you google Miracle noodle it will…

Love it. Live long and prosper.

Nurse here. Lots of good support. The challenge is to keep track every day and measure your portions. It is kind of hard to believe how much you can mindlessly eat without being aware that you are doing it. I know you have a busy life but you will have to commit to keeping track and logging. Whether you plan it out the…

Saute the button mushrooms lightly after slicing them and add them to spaghetti sauce. Yummy.

Going!

If you move your scale a lot it may not be accurate and if you are not on a hard surface that is level also affects it. If you have a hard time finding a level surface you can go to Home Depot or other like store and purchase 1 large ceramic tile and put your scale on that and then don't move it around. If your scale is…
