Things I'm Doing 2016: 1) Decreasing chemical intake. For instance, a friend handed me some "lemon" water he had purchased. It had the aftertaste of the junk you drink in preparation for a colonoscopy. I checked the ingredients and lemon juice wasn't amongst them. This step is for both physical, mental (who knows what…

Sorry I haven't really been around. You can do this. You are worth the struggle. I think if they put the search part for groups again we would have more people.

Welcome!

I ran for ten whole minutes today, and I didn't feel like I was going to die afterwards. :)

I was inpatient at the start of this month, and only 3 days left in this month! I'll join in next month. You guys are doing great! Keep going!

That's really great! It also shows your dedication to have gone often enough to have gotten noticed!

I completely understand. I have schizoaffective bipolar type (mish-mash of schizophrenia and bipolar). I've gone through seemingly countless medications (14 in antipsychotics alone). I'm dealing with one that causes a lot of weight gain as it is. I'm determined to fight against it as best I can. I have had several (about…

Before the Minnesota study of men is brought out to disprove starvation mode, I would like to point out that the lowest it went is the lowest that is recommended for a person to eat. They were not actually in a starvation zone. The diets were equivocal to a 1200 calorie diet for women, the minimum recommended. Starvation…

I'm in for as long as I can hold out. I hope to be able to make it through. I didn't make it through the Shred, but that was due to physical illness in the middle of it putting me on "exercise, but not so much that you sweat" grounds. Yeah, you sweat with Micheals.

You're welcome. It is my pleasure. I agree. This is going to be our year! It's gonna happen this year!

I'm adjusting my goals after meeting with the nutritionist. Walk 1.5 hours a day per her recommendation to move more than I do. We'll see how it goes.

Your wish is my command. ;) Here it is. I toyed with the idea of a couple of column separated for cardio, strength, and miles and the such, but it would require a separate sign-up sheet for who is joining in, to add each person in with their own section on the sheet. So, this one is a bit more generic with it broken down…

If you want I can set up the Google doc. I'm heading up a challenge and using it for that. I would be in for it as well. What about people dedicating how much time they are going to do each week? This would allow each person to tailor it to his or her schedule and fitness level.

For Christmas my grandmother bought me two pairs of jeans that fit like they were a size smaller, so they didn't fit. I've been trying them on for the last few weeks and today, they fit! The scale hasn't moved in the last week, but apparently my body has, I'll measure tomorrow, but the jeans fit!

I have the set-up for diabetes. My endocrinologist has put me on metformin to prevent me from developing diabetes. I have insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome two precursors to diabetes with a strong family history of it. So, I need to change things now. Feel free to add me as a friend.
