try some strength training. of course, check with your doctor first, to make sure there are no limitations. start slowly to prevent injury. maybe a little yoga to help with the stress level and staying flexible also prevents injury. building a little muscle helps control the blood sugar, and so does lowering your stress.…

hi, i'm sheri, i teach SilverSneakers, which is a chair exercise class for seniors or those with recent surgeries or injuries, or with chronic health problems. i teach at the YMCA. if you are near a Y, check to see if they have these classes. or, look online at silversneakers.com to see if anywhere near you has these…

Hi, I'm back again also. i sent you a friend request. I know I need to do this but i'm feeling kind of lazy. So, I'm going to do this one small step at a time. I have decided to log one or two meals a day, and drink more water. That's enough for now. My job keeps me pretty busy.

Hi everybody! I'm 48 years old, so I'm not a senior - but I work at the YMCA as the Senior Experience Coordinator, and I teach Silver Sneaker exercise class for seniors. I highly recommend it for anyone with physical limitations or who has been sedentary for a long time. Check out your local YMCA - if your supplemental…

oh dear, make that a 20% off coupon, not a 205 coupon!

i don't know about regular blenders...that sounds questionable. I have a nutribullet, and it really does liquefy spinach. i haven't tried kale yet. The nutribullet is about $100 but sometimes on sale at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, and if you have a 205 off coupon, the cost is very reasonable. I make 'smoothie bags' ahead of…

well, dear, i understand how you feel. i am diabetic, and every time i have a blood test, i feel like a terrible failure and it makes me want to run to the cookies and ice cream. or chips (crisps?) or candy bars...but the Diabetes Educator at the hospital told me that the numbers are just information. so...every time you…

thank you for telling you story. remember, it's a journey, and many people are traveling with you on this road.

greetings! i have been away from my fitness pal for almost 2 years now. I was doing great until my nephew committed suicide. after that i lost motivation. and truth to tell, i'm kind of lazy, and i don't give a bunny fart about what people think of my appearance. i don't really want to lose weight as much as i want to get…

yep. it seems to be involuntary, like a heartbeat. sometimes i was concerned about poking my trainer's eye out. for him it was an occupational hazard!

nobody is too old for a bikini. trust me on this, i live 45 minutes from the beach, in florida. also, nobody is too fat for a bikini. because really, at the beach, can't we just wear what we are comforable wearing? if a person feels self-conscious wearing a bikini, don't wear one. wear a toga if you want! remember the song…

LOL!!

thanks, i always wondered about the difference! what do i call it if i use bones AND meat?

bump!

that's awesome! i'm happy for you!

i log my zumba gold class as aerobics, low impact. if you do the gular zumba (jumping, etc.), then maybe aerobics, high impact.

chopped romaine, spinach, artichoke hearts, hearts of palm, carrots, tomatoes, radishes, olives, garbanzo beans, edamame, black beans, corn, bacon, cheeses, oranges, grapes, apples, pears, butternut squash, cucumbers, pickled veggies, chicken, steak, turkey, onions, cottage cheese, avocado, oil and vinegar, italian…

i don't think it matters, as long as you are not holding scissors.

well done! the sky is the limit! keep flying!

okay, now i'm the first to admit that on some days i am windier that a tornado. but i have NEVER, EVER fired one off and had the unfortunate victim standing next to me say, "do you smell sour cream and onion pringles?" i almost fell on the floor laughing at this scenario!

i can't get enough!

bahahaha! i thought it said HOGGING the booze!

rude? i hope not! i unfriended my own husband. i kept getting notices that said "your dear husband has not logged in since the dawn of time. he might need some encouragement." well, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. and everybody needs 8 glasses a day! :)

i weigh 169 pounds and i can't do 10 pushups of any kind, i might be able to do 5 sit-ups with bent knees, and i can't run to the end of my block without needing an ambulance - and there is only one small house between me and the end of the block! you are strong. and getting stronger! (me too! a little every day!) i think…
