  • Cliff: how are you doing? Hope all is well. I wanted to ask a question, as you seem to have mastered this: what do YOU do to get back into the gym and it's been a while. I can't believe how much I am resisting this! I spend all day thinking "I really ought to go" and then I don't :/ ! You'd think I was going to the dentist…

  • It's worrisome that your GP just offers pain pills and rest. We have such a problem with opioids in this country. There are all kind of suggestions on this board that are a much better choice. Good for you for looking farther.

  • Greetings! LisaM was kind enough to tell me about your group. I am 63 y/o and had successful GBS in 2007.

I have done well except for the last two years: retired, bought a new house and moved, went back to school, changed my…

  • Greetings! It is also helpful to know what your basal metabolic rate ( BMR ) is. This tells you how many calories you need to maintain the weight you are now and then you can adjust downward. Let me tell you, it's an eye opener. My BMR is 1400 cal. It makes sense; I have the metabolism of a slug. But I have to go below…
