It is hard to only do 10 but here are mine... 1. Take time for a whole life 2. Live in today, leave yesterday ,hope for tomorrow 3. You feel better when you eat better and exercise 4. Love yourself first 5. You are the sum of your decisions. 6 . What you send out in the world, returns to you in kind 7. You are worthy of…

Yes, the USA does have our weight issues...It speaks volumes that our First Lady, Michelle Obama, has made this her national cause! Our school systems have cancelled required physical. Education and most have cancelled former required Home Economic classes. Basically we are still going backwards on this issue. Our media…

Congrats on your weight loss!!!! It worked!!!! Unfortunately I have a cholesterol/triglyceride genetic condition....but am thrilled you found your weight loss niche. Regardless you still had to pay attention and be disciplined in your approach. Again, congrats to you!!!!!!!!

You are truly beautiful, however, your child is the cutest EVER. Seriously, congrats on your healthy accomplishment!

Oh, you are funny!!!!! I really did laugh out loud at this post!

Hi! I would love to join this group but to be honest I don't know how? Do you just post reply or is there something I have to do? My goals for March are pretty simple: cardio for 45-60 minutes for 5 days per week, finish my rehab for spinal surgery, broken right foot and l knee ligament tear. Return to work as a home care…

Ok, here goes. I'm new to the reply button. For meet is going to the library. My library has magazines too. Try cooking light because this magazine has fairly common recipes that are low cal. The other thong is maybe he might be better at the exercise portion of the weight loss...and if that includes weight training..men…

My gym has unlimited supply of young blond beautiful women that alway get on the machine next to this older sweaty frizzy haired lady (huh that would be me). They seem to work just hard enough to get sweet little glow. All the boys, old nd young, stare at them like they're the newer to their work-out buddy problem.....but…

WOW, really good work!!!!!

It is her problem and her problem is denial. The hard thing about diabetics are that the disease kills you over time. You can cheat along time and then the complications set in and you have no reserve (kidney failure, eyesight, poor circulation nerve pain) and most symptoms are not reversible. You definitely have the more…

I quit metformin and Byetta in Oct 2012 with mostly increased exercise and earring a high protein, no carb, low fat diet. (neede protein for healing from two major surgeries. Thank God I live chicken and turkey. Too bad I hate fish except canned tuna.

If you are without money in general, go to the nearess food bank! I give food there all the time...mostly fresh food in the summer as I have a HUGE garden and can't eat all the produce!!! Example, somehow I ended up with 40 cucumber plants and 60 tomato bushes..seriously how much salsa can you make!!! HaHa, But, seriously,…

WOW you are gorgeous! Keep up the good work! Welcome to the onederland soon. You have a great attitude and will be there soon! You should feel very proud of your accomplishment so far!

To answer some of your question. Your waist measurement is traditional done by seamstresses at the level of your belly button. It is the changes that you will note(just do it consistently and you will see a distance. Also the clothes will be an indication, too. All yr clothes will start to get more and more loose. A cup of…

How about adding celery, pickle, paprika, a little mayo, tomato on a bed of salad greens on a really nice plate. Add some sugar free lemonade and THINK SPRING!

You might want to monitor yr stress level and also exercise is needed at all ages. Oh and there are alway nice looking friendly guys at the work out centers at your university....just saying stress relieve...

Just go with whole grains and veggies. This is a long term lifestyle change so the best is starting and continuing with a balanced approach. Also, even. Diabetic have to eat some carbs. High protein does help with the hunger but watch your fats if y have I family history of high cholesterol or heart disease

I must admit I use new fitness wear (and new IPad books) as rewards for "so many pounds" lost. My daughter is the world best online shopper for me for clothes. She is y g and spent 3 years doing cooperative learning experience so she buys stuff for me when I meet a milestone. She has found online target and some stuff on…

Having had recent back surgery, sit. Up are something to definitely work up to doing. My physical therapist recommended ball and. General core exercises and then work to yoga planks with relaxation (child pose) before and after. When you have general core strength, sit up are possible but keep your back in a neutral…

WOW! You look great! Congrats and keep up the great work!!

Westerville, Ohio here! Go Buckeyes!! (both husband and I are OSU alums).

I have been a nurse for 37 years. I started in ICUS, then taught in nursing school, then found home are. I love home care but again exercise and eating becomes a problem, particularly with driving, on call responsibilities. Right now, I am on medical leave (I broke my right foot while exercising) but hope to return in a…

Sometimes it nice to see other people doing "the work" to get healthy...and some of my friends are just plain funny. For example,it funny to hear that other people yell at the tv during their work outs too!

Don't forget to rehydrate.

Or just realize you inserted your foot. Into your mouth. lol

Maybe putting it in a more positive light. For example, offer to work out together and get fit rather than just skinny.

I am a home are nurse and my specialty is CHF and diabetic patients. Since I have both these conditions, my bosses thought I could speak from experience. What I have found is the determining factor in recovery is people who have an internal locus of control are much better prepared to participate in their own recovery. You…

WOW! You look really young in your "after" picture!.....and so sophisticated! Congrat on your transformation.

Have you tried deep water exercise? After spinal surg, that was what I did at first. I had to wear a brace for a few months and had no muscle strength. Honestly, sometimes , the pain was so bad that all I wanted to do is suspend in the water(use a water noodle so you don't twist your back). I must admit Celebrex has really…
