  • I prefer bananas with my peanut butter. :) Right now I'm on a tuna kick, with a tiny bit of light mayo and mustard with some sodium free spices and a couple of pickles on top. I've taken to using Light Whole Grain English Muffins for this sammich as I get to sneak in 8grams of fiber.

  • Similar issue here. I'm 42 and am suddenly struggling with high blood pressure. It's terrifying. About Nutri-System...be glad you saved your money! I tried out one of those one week box kits a couple of months back and the food was disgusting.

  • Ahhh...you too? I have shin splints really bad. I also do not run, cause I have crap knees and weak ankles prone to twisting. I walk. Alot. Sometimes I just have to slow down and it gets better.

  • I just realized after reading this: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 that I wasn't eating near enough. 800 calories is way too low. See if the post in the link helps. :)
