Whoops! I guess my reputation for skimming lightly over instructions (which often don't make it out of the box) is deserved.

4miles, you're done now, right? Congrats, how did it go for you? 8 more days to go here. Weight loss seems to have accelerated to about 2 lbs per week, which is more than fine as far as I am concerned. Two new treats in my arsenal have helped me along: - homemade gf beef & wild salmon jerkys - homemade energy bars (recipe…

But drinking plenty of water, which would…

Hi all, thanks for sharing your personal hypertension histories, struggles, tips, etc. I am a 56 y.o. man presently living a mostly sedentary life. I am 5'10" and weighed in this morning at 208. Five years ago, I was pretty fit at around 170#, working out regularly and on an Isagenix maintenance regime. But then we had…
