Antibiotics are necessary to help treat bacterial infections. Antibiotics work by killing the bad bacteria in the gastrointestinal flora, thereby eliminating disease. However, antibiotics are known to eliminate some of the intestine's good bacteria as well. Consuming yogurt, with its live, active cultures, assists the body…

I love her too. I use the "walk a mile" which is 21 minute video on exercisetv.com but I never knew how to log it either. TY for the question and answers :) I just found this online Rate = distance/time = 2.6miles/35mins = 13/275miles per minute Multiply by 60 to convert to hour = 156/35 miles/hour. so on 1divided by 21…

First I have to say, I am busting up laffing! Cause I can sooo relate. Hard to type when your cracking up at yourself :) Last time I said...OK I will take some snacks down to my tea and honey! (I tend to over do things even my own special tea cup) I did great! But I felt misserable cause it was like going to a baseball…

First there are medications that don't make you gain as much weight....I still take three that do but It used to be four but one was able to change. Today I have no motivation at all but I'm sick as a dog and those days happen. The day before I had no motivation because I gained 2 lbs!!!!! I was posting to someone else and…

What is your sodium at each day? If that stays high on me I retain fluids. TY for opening your diary. It only shows a few days and your sodium level is high. You may be retaining fluids. Like the "Smart Ones" for the first breakfast is low in calories yes BUT they add flavor by adding sodium=salt basically. Look at each…

Unfortunatly I am one of those with a medical condition that started with a head injury and seizures and in bed for 2-5 years then a walker and back surgery. BUT I did not not not give up!!!! Here is the thing IMHO about smokeing. I was an alcoholic and addict who smoked and was a sugar junky. I had to start with the first…

When I first read this...my first thought...Your preaching to the choir :)

Good morning! checking in with my new weight of 227.4 hot diggety dog!

I've been thru all the pills and even perscription pills. Then after being sent to a cardiologist, I started reading and found I needed to change my life. I guess you can say this is the way I want to eat and exercise now. Just my lifestyle and I am very happy now and don't think all the negative things about myself.…

I try hard not to but if I just have to have something I have a cup of caffine free herbel tea. Blueberry is my favorite with honey.

Welcome. I have many disabilities too. First follow doctors orders. I am going for knee replacement in a year or two once I am healthy enough for the surgery. Aside from that, there are many chair exercises and resistance bands. When I am unable to walk I use a chair exercise video. There are lots online for free. Google…

I have had mine done. BUT I can not plug in the medications or disabilities here so I expect their equation to be off.

There are many ways of eatting something none cooked to have even the extra 200. Even at that we are all different. I have eattin around 1200 cal for the last five years BUT I am on alot of medications that lower my metabolism so I can't go by the standard charts and programs. I eat more I gain. So the best way is to just…

This is so true. My daughter showed me how to take a picture where I never have a double chin :) We have a rule on FB "Friends don't post bad pictures of freinds". You give that camera to someone else and they could take some awesome pictures of you! I think you have done an outstanding job! Seriously. 39 lbs is a success.

YES! I pack a bag of healthy snacks too. This was suggested to me and I was so happy I did it. I was able to maintain my sugar/protien level and did not hit the low and no energy. This is an awesome tip!

I like subway. They have some great choices. I just came home from vacation at family's. I just told my mom what I needed. I never said why just that it was what I like to eat. Even on vacation this comes always comes down to choices and moderation :) Plus vacation is to be fun :) Go have some and burn off the calories :)

CW 232.2 GW 215.7 Goals: Stay within cardio diet 35 fat 12 sat 200 cholesteral daily Stay active everyday

Congratulations on the 4 pounds! I looked quickly at your diary at the totals. Your carbs and fat tend to be high or over and your protien is low. Maybe you could work on that end. Your doing great! Each pound and step is one day closer to your goal. Hang in there!

My motivation has stayed pretty high every since I was sent to a cardiologist and had an angiogram. I just remind myself that I have two blockages one is small but the other sure isn't! I really really really do not feel like having a stint put in or a heart attack today. Yep does it every time! I just started this site. I…

I had a headache today but noticed I needed sleep and my sugar was low. I tried tylonal which didn't help. Then I had some tea that is caffenated with honey and my headache was gone. 20 plus years sober, six years of not smoking but that caffine and sugar BINGO! Somethings I don't try to give up. I usually have five small…

I'm in and will think about what I want to achieve and post Monday.

I am doing great! I was feeling like...ugh it's almost the first day of summer and I'm still fat....but I read someones news feed which just lifted my spiritis up. Yes I can walk my dog today. I'll try 20 minutes again. And And And wooohoooo the sun is out in the PNW!!!!! I worked the night shift many years ago. Shopping…

I just found Jan Karon's Mitford series. I can't stop reading them. I love Father Tim :) I am on "A Common Life" right now.

Congratulations on the 1.9 lbs! There are exercises you can do while at work. I just found out that standing helps and there are chair exercises too you can do at your desk. I have a few resistance bands and two 1 1/2 lb weights for my arms. I learned how to walk a mile in my living room too! Even the smallest steps…
