I take 3 grams ( or 3 1000 mg capsules) of fish oil a day for dry eye syndrome. I can notice a difference in my skin too since I started taking it. I do burp it now and then but if you get good pharmaceutical grade or liquid fish oil it doesn't repeat much! :blushing: My doctor told me there is no such thing as too much…

YIPPEEE!!! I am pulling for you and just know you will make us all proud!!:wink:

Hey....a goal is meant to be set high...if you don't set the bar high what is the point? Give it your best shot and anything you lose along the way is a great, great job!!! It's less weight than you started with right? No beating yourself up before you even try or for that matter after you try.....Go for it…

Girl you rock!!! Thanks.. I am going to turn on the music today and bounce around and try not to injure my knee being the clutz that I am.... I am ready!!!!!:devil:

One day at a time.....tomorrow is another day!! Guilt is useless. Glad you enjoyed a treat! This is not permanent....smile and be happy you have a loveing family.... I don;t ever want ANY foods to be off limits. Sometimes its a good reality check as to what you really want. Have a great day and smile!:flowerforyou:

By the way.... I appreciate Dav'e's blunt responses....no time for *****footing around. Weed through what you want and don't want for yourself.... Go DAVE....and anybody else with an opinion. Isn't that the point of these forums???:wink:

I always thought it was the folk in the UK that were outspoken!!:flowerforyou: :tongue: Please, please don't take these words of wisdom the wrong way, you are correct, it is your body, your choice, we are just speaking our minds,& opinions. This is sometimes tough love here on these pages. My husband was on a weight loss…

I am not quite on crutches...just overdid walking earlier this week and have a swollen knee and left foot ( same side) I truly think getting older sucks. I'm only 48...it shouldn't be this hard already???? Thanks for the advice, I will see what I can find to keep me busy!:wink:

Any suggestions for a person trying to get some cardio done when it is rainging cats & dogs and also an injured knee??? HELP!!!!:sad:
