A rule of thumb measure is max rate is 220 - 38 (your age) = 182. Training range is supposed to be 60 to 80% of that or 110 to 145. Slow down a little and keep your rate below the 145. Over time you will be able to go faster but have a lower heart rate.

Great job!!!

My guess is your book suggestion by itself is going to make joining this group very worthwhile. The main point in my introductory note was I need a formula or model to adjust insulin as I lose weight and become less insulin resistant. I think this book, which I downloaded to my Kindle last night, will give that guidance.…

I have the glucose tablets by the bed and in the car and crackers in my briefcase, wife's purse, etc. so I am prepared when I have a low. The "Think Like a Pancreas" is a good suggestion. I will go purchase it tonight. I had a doc's appointment the third week of July, he was more concerned about the A1c of 8.2 than the…

Fantastic, I hope to join you in Onederland by the end of August.

Fantastic. Great job.

definitely not a western thing. The Asians live together routinely in multi-generational homes. My guess is it is more farming related. Families stay on their land and look after each other.

Zaxby's Chicken Finger Plate - over 1200 calories and 2800 mg of sodium in one meal, wow. Used to eat there 3 or 4 times a month, not anymore. I don't check noms that much but am trying to reduce sodium.

You have reason to celebrate. Great progress!!!

I would like to participate. Thanks for including me.

Great NSV's, you are doing great.

Thanks for your response. I did a search and found one of the acronym lists so I should be good to go. Great NSV BTW.

I am drawing a blank here. What does the acronym NSV stand for?

Wonderful story, thanks for sharing.

I am trying the Low Sodium V8 as well. Glad to know it is supported by others.

Inspirational, you are an encouragement to others.

I like your idea of frequent posts and will adopt it for my journey. You have and are doing great. Way to go.

Great job and all in 6 months. Fantastic.

Is there someone in the apartment complex that would like to work out to these videos that has a first floor apartment. You provide the videos but use their place. You get a workout buddy and the noise complaint is gone.

Inspirational, thanks for doing so well and sharing your success.

Lay on your back with light weight dumbells (appropriate weight for your wrists not to hurt) and do bench press (straight up and back down) and then Fly lifts with your elbows out to the side at 90 degrees, lift and bring the dumbells together over your chest. You can keep your elbows bent on the Fly to avoid too much…

You are doing great!!!

Thanks for sharing and encouraging others. Amazing story of success.
