I have low blood pressure and have had the same issues. I find having something with a bit more sodium before I work out (30 minutes) and making sure I'm staying hydrated have helped me.

Maybe your body is craving salt because you need it. Not everyone needs to be on a super low sodium diet. I am on a high sodium diet as recommended by my doctor. Besides, salt makes food taste good! Unless you have a medical reason to be on a low sodium diet, I don't see why you can't use a little salt here and there.

The parents were negligent at best. Responsible gun ownership included locking up all weapons, and keeping them away from children when not being used with constant and direct supervision. They had a gun, sitting in a corner, and didn’t know it was loaded. This incident was 100% preventable and 100% the fault of the…

Oh you are near Athens! Go to Athens Running Company: 367 Prince Ave, Ste 2 Athens, GA 30601

I don't know what part of GA you are in but look and see if there is a Phidippides or Fleet Feet near you. They both have multiple locations in the Atlanta Metro area. I got fitted for running shoes at Fleet Feet and they were awesome and nice! Edited to add: Also at Fleet Feet they will do custom sports bra fittings too.…

You can friend me if you want. I'm still Vertically Challenged and I log every day.

Parsley serves as a valuable Bloating medication by reducing bloating caused by water retention. In addition, it improves appetite and promotes digestion. You can prepare parsley tea by putting a tablespoon of fresh parsley leaves in a cup of boiling water and letting it steep for 10-15 minutes. I don't really like parsley…

How are calculating your calories burned?

Getting married in May 2014! I have lost 20 lbs so far and want to lose another 25-30 before the end of the year!

I was eating at a local Italian restaurant for a business lunch and I ordered an angel hair spaghetti dish. I always stir my food around before I start eating and when I did I saw something silver. There was a large ball of steel in my pasta. Looks like it broke off something they use to scrub pots with. They ended up…

I think it at least covers the cookies and juice you get afterwards :wink:

^^^ This! About cardio, if you feel up to it, take a light walk, but I wouldn't do more than that. I have also seen multiple places that you should increase your calories by 300-500 on the day you give blood to help your body replenish and of course drink TONS of fluids. Thanks for donating, you are helping save lives!

Yup. I've had people start singing it to me when we've first met. :laugh: Beth, I hear you callin' But I can't come home right now

Moving Comfort. I like the Rebound Racer. They are a little pricey but totally worth it. I can run and jump and the girls stay put. Before I started losing weight I was a DD and now a D. A good sports bra is just as important as good shoes!

I have an armband that my S3 fits in. I got it on Amazon for $4. Works great.

I'm almost 5'1 and my fiance is 6'5!

I'm 5'1... with shoes on. Guys, especially tall guys seem to love short chicks. Example - My Profile Pic. :laugh:

Not really... I look every now and again but the group seems to have died away...

http://voices.yahoo.com/14-tips-strong-healthy-nails-1968232.html?cat=69 Top two are: 1. Make sure you consume plenty of vitamins A and E and Biotin. Also make sure to drink a glass of milk and eat a hard boiled egg a day. Milk and eggs are rich in zinc, which is what your nails need to be strong. 2. Drink Plenty of Water

How exactly does juicing impact blood pressure?

I have the same problem. I just eat a lot of sodium and drink a lot of water. I like to season my veggies with soy sauce. Also, when I start feeling woozy, I drink a powerade zero, no calories, good amount of sodium. Be sure to keep hydrated. Drinking lots of fluids will help raise your blood volume which in turn raises…

Of all my guns, my Marlin 30-30 is my favorite. It's what I shot my first deer with. :smile:

I also have Low Blood Pressure and High Heart Rate. Unfortunately it was causing me to pass out frequently. I see a cardiologist and take medication to raise my blood pressure and stunt my heart rate now. The doctor told me to eat a high sodium diet to raise my blood pressure and always be drinking something to keep my…

This is exactly what I was thinking. :laugh:

Not a big deal to be bald. I actually talked my bf into shaving his head b/c bald is hot. :blushing:

^^^ Exactly! Except I try to go 3 days. I have naturally curly hair and if I wash it too much it gets dry really quickly!

Exactly. I really don't mean to offend anyone. I have a history of starving and binging. I am at a point now where I am trying eating more on a consistent basis and trying to make healthier choices. I am looking for friends who also have found healthy ways to meet higher calorie goals who can potential introduce me to new…

(Everyone) Feel free to add me too! I would like supportive friends!

I'll have what he's having! Except take my Two pints of Ben & Jerry's and make one Phish Food and one Half Baked.
