You Go Grandma! This is absolutely wonderful! Just imagine how Loved Your grandchildren will feel when they get older and find out that they were your inspiration! Cheers!:drinker:

No Worries! The Point of this thread is that the OP is receiving treatment as we type for her Edema Or Oedema. :smile:

Check again! "Edema" and "Oedema" is the difference between "American English" and "British English" .....yikes!!!!!

THIS! ^ I'm currently a 911 Dispatcher and a former active EMT. The sudden large weight gain and pedal edema (foot and ankle swelling) alone is cause enough for immediate care. The body is filling up with fluid. Please listen to Your health workers, it's our 24-7 job to look out for the welfare of others! Well wishes for…

Google - troubleshooting Nordic track c2200. the livestrong.com site came up for me and there were some interesting suggestions and instructions of how to take cover off and try different switches and calibrating for the problem You described. Hope it helps.

I was always the hot one, even sweating in the shade while doing nothing at all. I've lost 41 lbs. since Jan 2012 and now I'm freezing all the time and do not have a thyroid or iron problem (just had blood work, everything normal). My husband thinks it's comical that I wear his long wool hunting socks with the instant toe…

Bump for more pics, this is a major trouble zone for me too.

I am going to credit strength training for my consistent losses along with eating right. I do cardio 2 to 3 days a week alternating with strength training 2 to 3 days a week, for a total of 4 to 6 days a week, 30 to 40 mins. each time. I could probably fit more in and push harder, but I'm happy with my numbers and don't…

OP, Well wishes are being sent Your way! Fortunately You can fight this and get Healthy! Unfortunately Some people will be blissfully ignorant the rest of their lives! Good Luck and Fight Like A Girl!! PS. I guess my niece got cancer when she was 9 months old because she didn't eat right! Shame on her! FYI, She is a…

That's Awesome! Way to Take control of Your Life! Good Luck with Your future goals!

I agree that You should seek professional help, maybe a counselor if Your in school or another trusted family member or adult in Your life. If money is an issue there should be a family clinic somewhere that could help You. It might also be a good idea to lay off the 5 days of exercise and give Your body a rest until that…

I work 11 PM - 7 AM and this is how I do it, works well.

Bump, So inspiring!

OP, I worked as a Pharmacy Technician for 15 years for a big chain Pharmacy, so I worked with between 15 and 20 Pharmacist over the years and I can honestly say that They all only recommended it for short term use only. That being said, new studies come out all the time and maybe Your Dr. is up on this or maybe He is…

Thank You for good advice and keeping it simple!

I can't see your diary to see if you work out every day, but if you are and there is any strength training involved, you are probably retaining water for muscle repair. This will keep the scale at a steady number sometimes. I work out most days (cardio & strength training) but I always take a day of rest the day before my…

I like to make what I call ham, egg, & cheese muffins in a muffin pan. I'll make 2 to 6 at a time depending on if my husband is eating and how hungry we are. Take a slice of whole wheat bread (crust removed) for each muffin. I put the slices between plastic wrap and flatten them with a rolling pin. Spray muffin pan and…

I mix a 37g scoop of vanilla whey protein into 12oz of water in a small tumbler and use that as my cream/sweetner instead of the milk and sugar I used to use. You can sweeten and cream 3 to 4 12oz coffees with that, depending on your taste and preference. That one scoop of powder is 170 cals and gives me 26g of protein…

I burned 938 cals Sunday, 648 cals Monday and 530 cals today doing combos of cardio and strength training. I'm getting excited to weigh in tomorrow!! Everybody on here ROCKS!!!! keep up the GREAT work!!

616 cals burned doing 1 hr of cardio/strength! Now off to work @ 911 for a 12 hr midnight shift. I got called in on my night off and didn't use it as an excuse not to work out. I love this group holding me accountable!

616 calories burned in 1 hour on elliptical and circuit training! I didn't feel like working out tonight, but I'm glad I did! I love those happy little endorphins that get you high! :drinker:

I have an elliptical and a Weider Ultimate Bodyworks total gym (knock off of The Total Gym endorsed by Chuck Norris & Christie Brinkley at a fraction of the price.) So today I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes of circuit/strength training. This home gym really has changed my life already. We got it the middle…
