Hi, my name's Kandy and have just joined the group. I'm 52 and just met the Lord in 2010 and was baptized 10/31/10. I'm so glad to find a group like this. I've been married 28 yrs next month, have 2 grown children- charlotte (26) and allen (25) and am a new grandma to Silas. So glad to meet all of you

I usually have a smoothie in the morning but i use protein powder (like for weight loss) instead of whey protein.

i got a wii fit last year and i decided this month that i'm going to do at least 15 min a day no matter what anyone else in my family does. i have been working up in the time that i workout. a lot of times i need to do 6 min at a time before my feet and back stop me til .i rest, but i do it several times and it adds up.…

I've always had a weight problem but never realized how heavy I was til I had pacemaker surgery jan 3rd. I was the typical fat girl in school (no friends, name calling, etc), but that didn't change who I was. I was ok with myself. Of course now I know that I turned to food as comfort. Mom didn't help with always having…

today is a new day and i walked a half mile in our church parking lot. 13 laps is a mile, so i figure i did pretty good for the first day of doing something new. i do walking with work (i'm a direct support professional- i work with people with disabilities) but i wanted to do more and my dr. recommends (told me i had to)…

i've had pf for over 20 yrs and have heel spurs also. i have custom orthodics from a podiatrist, wear new balance tennis shoes 660 up to 1000 (feels like walking on air), but i live in my burkenstocks. they form to the foot and give you negative heel so it stretches the muscle that causes pf. also have been doing for years…

My mom used to call this the hay maker's drink during the summer. it helps replenish your body after working out in the sun. i've taken in the past 2tsp braggs acv with 12oz water and 1tsp honey before every meal and 1st thing in morning. it helps curb my appetite, lose weight, joints don't hurt as bad and acid reflux is…

i workout in the evenings before dinner. it helps me eat healthier, i'm better about portion control,i sleep better and it seems to be the right time to workout. but any time that you can exercise is a good time. plus you've already done some exercising with what you do during the day. i try not to exercise 2 hrs before…

I like Tricia and agave necter. Can't use others because of the migraines I get from them. Try these and see if they help.

I'm 52 and need to lose weight and get healthy. It's harder to do as we age, but I'm determined to lose it this time.

I'm so not a normal breakfast person and until a few weeks ago, i didn't eat breakfast. I'm a type 2 diabetic and know better so i started doing whey protein shakes like my son did during wrestling. I use 1c milk(soy, almond, 2%,etc), a banana, 1 scoop of whey protein powder, 1/2 c frozen blueberrries, and 1-2Tbl flax seed…
