I have a lot of reasons; One of them is sciatica. I would rather not experience it so much when I walk. It's also good for asthma too.

A Whovian! Awesome! Reverse the Polarity on MFP!

@kristydi: I have no idea if the Dr. was a pediatric endocrinologist or not. I will ask my wife on the matter.

In answer to some of the questions, this diet was indeed recommended by an endocrinologist in Nashville. As I understand it, we are being put in touch with a nutritionist, but we haven't heard anything from them yet.

Found this group today too. Hi All! Lost 24 lbs so far just balancing food intake and doing yoga(Although I also like to swim as well.)

Wow! that's awesome!

Well, I would say that if you lost some inches, then you must be doing something correctly. Not sure why you gained a pound. Do you feel any differently in a months time?

Since I started back into this routine, I have had an easier time breathing(I have asthma). Have you noticed any differences otherwise, leaving aside what the scale says?

Yes, we frequent Aldi's a lot, as well as Publix. My wife loves Publix because of all the Bogo's

I live in Middle Tennessee. We do have some farmer's markets in our town. I am not sure how often they are open.

These are all very good suggestions. Thanx

Well, I do like fruit, but we go through it rather quickly. Unfortunately, I also like bread, meat and coffee with ridiculously sweet cream. I also like to snack before lunch too.

Gallatin TN, close to Nashville.

Awesome!!

Awesome!

Hi I'm 46(well, soon anyway) and I have done martial arts as well and I do yoga too. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to this one regarding arthritis per se, except to consult your physician. If you can get some exercise in the water, I would suggest that. A good hot tub might help too.

Hello from Middle Tennessee! I'm 46(well I will be in 2 days, anyway) and I have heard that your metabolism slows down after a certain age. In spited of that, I really didn't think about my age when I started this. I just took one look at my weight around the beginning of the year and I knew that I had to make a change.…

Awesome job!!!

Take your time, thats the best way

Thanx!

Hi Gypsum74 Mind if I friend you here? My Dr told me that I was prediabetic, so I need to cut down on carbs and meat and such; I am going to need all the support I can get. Thanx!

sparkteens; thanx!

Well, we like to buy in bulk to save some money, but I know that there are some things that you just can't do that with such as bread and lead spinach( you have to eat that within the first 2 or 3 days before it starts to go bad). Green beans are pretty cool. I have never thought about using a blender for this. Got any…
