You might also want to have your doctor check your sodium levels. If you a drinking a lot of water, you will want to make sure you are getting enough sodium. I was on a low sodium, low fat diet and after a couple months, I felt my energy drain. I read an article about low sodium and noticed I had the same symtoms. I…

I'm up by just a bit. Not enough exercise this week. I have plans to walk and exercise during lunch as my evenings are busy with school and weekend with volunteering. Balance is not easy to come by.. Suppose one step at a time. Best wishes to all of you to have a great final week!

The training for the 5k is paying off.. Whoo Hoo. I not only lost the pound I gained last week, but an additional 3 pounds. I hope everyone else had a good week.

Hey Beth, I haven't ever been a runner, but I'm going to try. I like your saying Stress Running. Much better than the alternative. :-) I've been out twice and doing some hills. My backside is pretty sore, but the good kind. I think I'll do more stretching to try to keep the soreness down. Thanks for the advice. Good luck…

So I had a bad week, I gained 1.2, stressed eating for 2 days, and little exercise. Whew that week is behind me. I joined a program at work to start training for a 5k in Decemeber. Im hopeful this will keep me motivated for exercise. I hope everyone else had a great week.

Okay so this sounds weird to clearing out your sinuses, but it works. When you're in the shower, try to get the water as warm as you can, put your face under the water and hum. The humming breaks up the mucus and relieves the sinus pressure. The other thing I use is a neti pot. I got my mom started on it too, who has had…

Count me in! Thanks for doing this Jackie.

This was tough! Thanks to you all for keeping me motivated! Oh man, I ate pizza, really good pizza, yesterday, I thought for sure I wouldn't make it. Today is a new day, and I plan to make good choices and avoid temptation. Here's to good health!

I found the following article interesting.. Shaking Up Expectations In this small study from Colorado State University, 16 sedentary adults (ages 37 to 64) were asked to do 45 minutes of aerobic activity (all at the same intensity) three times a week for six weeks and then, immediately after each exercise session, to…

Hey Renee, I'm over 50 too with a lot of weight to loose. And let's all agree that once you hit 40 it's a lot more difficult to drop the weight. I've been battling weight for many years and I'm at a place where getting healthy is my number one priority. I've lost 40 lbs so far, but it has taken me a year with ups and…

Let me start by saying I do not have any thyroid problems. But to answer your question about other hormones, I had a similiar experience, It seemed to happen overnight. I thought I was loosing my mind, my skin was breaking out, loosing my hair, low energy, I put on 15 pounds within a few months, I felt like my body went…

I'm delighted :smile: and surprised I lost this week. My lower back has been giving me some problems. So I wasn't able to exercise very much this week. Good luck on the final week everyone!

I recently have had some low back trouble myself. I have a desk job and have started exercising again. Well it turns out that the low back problem is really common for desk workers who begin to exercise without stretching first. I was able to find some low back stretching exercises on the web and will add them to my daily…

I eat every 2.5 to 3 hours per day. They are small meals/snacks. I have 2 oz of protein each time, carbs/vegs at breakfast/lunch/dinner and the other times I add some fruit. I started this on 8/25 and have lost 15 pounds. This is definately working for me. I don't get too hungry and when I do, I drink water and that…

Sounds yummy! :happy:

:smile: Whoo Hoo!! I kept to my eating plan (first time in forever) and started walking every evening on Sunday around sunset. I think that's the most beautiful time of day, the air is still and the light is beautiful. I actually look forward to walking now. Next week, I add strengthening.

I am new to forums and have found inspiration from all of you to stick with my eating plan. I have challenges with getting the excerise in everyday. However, I'll just keep reading what you post which is motivating me to not give up. It seems I have a long ways to go, but I sure feel better knowing I'm not alone in this…
