I mentioned working out at a gym to old doctor and they did not say no. Thanks for all the information. I have some additional information to talk with new doctor when I see him.

Could be. I have been taking it easy so feel I have not taken any risks. Everything I have been doing is ultra mild and light weight.

Actually I read some articles on muscle builders wearing oxygen while lifting and it is suppose to increase performance. But that is not my concern. The oxygen level is because my oxygen saturation in my blood was 59.2% and Tachycardia (high heartbeat) at end of March was on supplemental oxygen 24/7 at first and everything…

Thanks.

While I work out doing cardio and working out and other similar activities. I did find an oximetric monitor that shows me heart rate and oxygen, but I was hoping for more of a workout monitor and tracker versus healthcare.

I do not think of any form of lifestyle change or dieting as cheating in any form.

Making sure to take a complete vitamin and mineral supplement to try to avoid getting any deficiencies when one is lowering food intake, and to eat a variety of nutrient rich foods for better health.

When my sister and I do trips in a car we pack our own ice chest with healthy foods, snacks, beverages and water bottles to drink then we have picnics in beautiful places we see along the way and stretch our legs in a walk. We do have one super nice dinner out over the course of the weekend. This is also budget friendly.…

I actually love peanut butter and banana sandwich on a whole grain bread. Less than two tablespoons with half a banana sliced on Sara Lee's 40 calorie whole grain bread with 2 slices is 80 calories. So an estimated 300-330 calories. Plus I have not had in a long time but my favorite cookie is a homemade peanut butter…

I was told by a trainer once that the changes happen on the inside first. I believe that is very true and makes sense. So don't give up. The changes will catch up to the outside.

I found some cravings were what my body was deficient in. Things that I checked had vitamin d, potassium, iron and be vitamins or trace amounts of minerals I was low in so I made sure I ate that substance in a healthy way. There is even a feel good chemical and trace minerals in chocolate could be explained as a nutrient…

Friends would be cool.

I am back after a break from site. I did lose five more pounds while I was out and gained some strength, but not nearly what my goal was that I set on the site. I do stress and emotional eating, but I have found I have also done boredom eating so like loose ends, open the fridge and munch on something when I was not…

Mine slowed. I had some blood work done and my iron, vitamin d, vitamin b12 and another b vitamin folic acid were deficient so within a few weeks of getting more sun, eating more foods with those vitamins, and taking supplementation a lot of symptoms and tiredness went away. I guess it is growing more common for people to…

Hey! I lost nineteen pounds since my last weigh in. So I will work on getting some quilt blocks on and getting the pictures posted before I start the Spring semester.

If one is working out and eating healthy, the changes occur on the inside before one ever sees them on the outside. Like the excess fat we carry on the outside, we have it on the inside, and our bodies start losing it where we gained it last and on the inside, clearing up the fat and building muscles on the inside, and…

There is a type of physical therapy for MS patients that increases their mobility and reduce the rigidity. A medical prescription for physical therapy from physician or specialist, but call a round and do research to find the best place near you who is experienced or good enough at what they do to create an excellent plan…

It is not actually the wrist circumference that determines frame size. It is the diameter of the wrist from bone to bone. One can use an index finger and thumb to press the prominent bones in the wrist, and then measure that distance. If 3+ inches one has a large frame. Basically between 2+ is medium, and 2 or less is…

What specifically are you looking for in a workout buddy?

My goal is to lose two pounds a week and over 100 pounds. I did the lovely pair match document, and it would be neat. I am 43 year old, wishing to lose over 100 pounds, I work, go to college, and home school my sons.

Beginning in 2002 through 2004 I worked out at the Y with cardio on the stationary bike and treadmill, and lifted weights every other day, but I got where I walked 7-10 miles a day on trails and around town, and I went from a size 24 down to a size 18. I got compliments on my calves by strangers which I thought was weird.…

I just signed up today and have over 100 pounds to lose, plus quilting materials sitting that I could make use of. I am excited about making a block for every pound lost, and seeing how a quilt develops out of that. My goal is to lose two pounds a week.:happy:
