  • I've had two back surgeries and was left with numb toes. I've been taking a weekly yoga class for many years now and I would highly recommend trying that.

  • You might try putting your legs up against the wall after exercising, or every day right before going to bed. That helps get that lactic acid generated by exercise out of your muscles.

  • I cut the cake in half after microwaving on the 123 cake, then use 2 TB cool whip on one half and 2 TB cool whip frosting on the other half. Satisfies that cake craving quite nicely.

  • Your weight loss is an awesome accomplishment. How you see yourself that is the most important feedback. Unfortunately, this society is not friendly to eating healthy and being a sensible weight.

  • Chinese is a favorite for me. My research showed that the dishes with lighter sauces are less calories, and ones with more vegetables than meat. Fried items are not as healthy. Ask if brown rice is available rather than white rice. Or, just have a bit less than you would have in the past! Drink lots of tea, that will help…
