I guess we're all here because we have trouble staying active but you are always welcome to post anytime! I'm back now and trying to get healthy again after baby so I will always try to respond :smile:

Man! Hope you're doing better!

I take mine before bed usually because the baby is in bed and I am more even keeled haha my doctor saw of try not to take it right after activity.

Please please please go to a doctor! I have been on meds since spring and have lost 25lbs and my doctor is going to start weening me off.. it can happen, but you HAVE TO get it under control first. My mom just had a stroke from high blood pressure she didnt even know she had. This is a very serious issue.

Amazing job! Great work amd congratulations!

Have you got any answers yet? Where are you with this? Feel free to add any of us!

Jim! You had a baby at 56! You go boy! Im glad you're back to fighting the good fight and let us know if we can help :-)

Incredible! Amazing work! Congrats on sticking with it and getting healthy :-)

Haha most men have no idea how women look compared to what they weigh. When i told my husband about six months ago that my belt was a 38 he flat out did NOT believe me, and i had to threaten to show him the tag when we got home before he would drop it. Then last winter when we went to the doctor about my blood pressure and…

I dont spend any time worrying about BMI charts etc. I am focusing at my age, on how i feel, and look for my lifestyle. That being said, i agree with you that people who are not on a journey, not healthy, etc will try to talk you out of losing weight, tell you you're getting "too skinny" when you are still obese, and try…

What an inspiration! I wish my husband would join in my fitness journey! That would be wonderful! Congratulations!

Im super frustrated that ive lost 10 lbs and i think it was all in my bra! I lost a whole cup size but not a band size :( not fair.

What sort of snacks do you take with you? If you can eat something really filling like oatmeal before work, and when the food comes out chew sugarless gum. Then snack on thkngs with natural sugar like apples with peanut butter, or oranges. I also love greek yogurt as a snack because it tastes sort of dessert like to me. I…

I know walmart has good deals on meds too if they're generic.. i guess i just have to make sure they prescribe generic stuff?

I log all the fruits and veg and amounts i use in my juice. I dont know if thats "right" but i figure what im drinking is probably a little lower than if i ate them all, so it works out fine for me. At least this way i know i wont over eat.

Hey Veronica i hope things are getting better for you! Have you had much luck changing your diet overall since Joining the site?

There actually isnt a problem getting fiber.. it's the opposite.. Im with you though OP, i have no idea how to log it, so i havent been logging my food when i juice. I honestly dont think it's worth the time unless you're drinking tons of juice, and eating your cal goal up to the very last cal. :) Good luck! And here's a…

LOVE the lean ground beef.. mmm it's my once a month indulgence :)

Welcome! I'll second Krythie, and tell you Scott has been having great success with DASH. It is a bit too regimented for me, unfortunately. I'm sorry you dont have insurance. I dont either, which is why im here tracking and working out 4 times a week. I have to do it on my own. No smoking, no drinking, and almost never eat…

^^ And all of this. :)

People being hung up on the word "Diet" and saying they aren't good need to do their research. It's disturbing to me that people on a fitness site would recommend to someone with High Blood Pressure to NOT Follow the DASH diet because it has the word "diet" in the title. DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop…

I was thinking the same thing! In my early 20's i worked out 6 days/week, 2 hrs a day, doing cardio and weights, and lived on chicken breast and broccoli and i weighed 145.. some of us just arent meant to be tiny. But i feel you, and you gotta do whats best for you :) Honestly thats what i like about being older, i just…

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!

If i was that awesome at planning i would have no trouble eating great! Way to go!

Congrats Scott! I hope you can start taking less pills! That would be a great achievement!

HOLY CRAP SCOTT!! Thats amazing! Making me feel like a schmuck with my "turkey and swiss on wheat in a baggie"! lmao

this is brilliant.
