I usually push through and regret it. I do have 3 small children and a husband who is disabled. So even on my bad days I can't really afford to take a break. I do go to physical therapy though for my last big problem and my therapist keeps lecturing me on slowing down and listening to when my body needs a break. Sometimes…

Hello, I'm a pagan of no particular flavor and am still searching the specific route I love. I'm trying to loose 100lbs to get down to a better healthier me and to help deal with my MS. I also ride a motorcycle to help reduce the stress of life.

Walmart has them, I just found them today! I am on day 4 of taking 1tsp of cinnamon. So far I only notice that I have a headache and that a good bit of my back pain has gotten better. I have also been forcing (coorcing) my husband to take it as well, but he hasn't noticed any changes yet.

It's great to meet you, and no worries my spelling is terrible too :-) I am going to physical therapy for Vertigo now and I have to say, I HATE being dizzy too. I think the treatement for the Virtago is worse than the disease though lol That first day after she reset my inner ear, I spent almost 9 hours barfing in the…

I have read about cinnamon a few times now but can't seem to find out about how you take it, what form it's in and how much. I am willing to give just about anything a try. As far as different natural things... One of my doctors suggested that I be tested for sleep apnea, and I will say I have to say that there is a…

Those are some great stories, mine is long so I will shorten it up. In 2009 I fell unconcious to the floor, and had to be taken to the ER. The ER doc treated me well and we all joked about heat stroke, I was living in TX at the time and it had been hot. He sent me for MRI's just in case and after I got out of the MRI…

You could take out all bread products on your non exercise days then if you double or tripple your vegi intake you should still eat a ton of food but eliminate the extra calories. I find that a good hardy Vegi soup for dinner or lunch is very filling with meat and vegi's and no pasta so no big calories. You can eat a giant…

I am a huge fan of veggies too. Raw green beans so yummy. Fruit isn't too bad either, but stick with the types with less sugar. Granola perhaps, but I would go with homemade so you can control the sugar and salt added. Crackers are kind of nice too.

Good luck and if worse comes to worse you can always tell them you have to eat a special diet. I mean that isn't totally unheard of :)

And PLEASE share the finished project :)

Feel free to friend me if you like, I absolutly LOVE this website. It was here that I heard about the movie Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I was doing ok loosing weight, about 1.5 lbs per week (except for the week of vacation where I gained 4) anyway... I have added juice as 2 of my meals and feel so much better. While I…

I am going to try doing juice as all but 1 meal for the day and keep it to fruits and vegi's except 2X I will have meat if I can't go without it. I am wondering how I am going to chart it on here though????? Good LUCK!

Salty snacks :) My BP is somewhere around 110/70 so not low but not too high. When I was pregnant it dropped down to the 90's over the 60's so they made me really up my salt intake and they actually told me to initiate some stress in my life. lmao I will call the doc on monday and see what she has to say, you guys are…

Wow thinking about it like that is crazy! I can't wait to loose a scooter :)

You can do this, and if it helps (I know it helps me) get the kids involved :) Mine are still very little but I have them help me exercise. I think it is good for all of us.

That's so funny, by my third child the F didn't fit. I have high hopes that the Dr. will approve a reduction and that this weight loss will help them be smaller, but much like many of you I was a D in 7th grade and I only weighed 125lbs. at 125.lbs in college I fell out of a DD and refused to buy larger. I know men like…

Notepad is nice, I have a ITouch and it is a pretty old one but I love it. It is very nice to know when I eat and what. Something good about the ITouch is you don't have the extra expense of a smart phone, and I believe if you get one of the New ITouches it has cameras so you could use the barcode scanning and such. Was a…

That was the funniest thing I've seen all day, thank you for that :)

Bump :) Any help is appriciated! My doctors tell me to that I am super complicated. lol That's probably why it takes me forever to figure anything health realted out.

This post is super educational, very well written and super friendly. I would feel alot better if you would be willing to help me with my math so here are some stats... Height 5'2" (girl) Weight 223.8 My lowest weight was 125, and then I was doing 6 hours of cardio type stuff (playing percussion with marching band,…

Ok so using the estimate 223 X 10 = 2,230 - 500 = 1,800 so if that is right then she was even calculating it a little low. I will take your advice, and shoot for as close to 1700 as I can get. Boy though I'm gonna have to find something to snack on. lol When I go back and try to calculate what I was eating before it was…

Yes, she knows I'm trying to loose weight, she had suggested the original 1200 calorie, that was until my urine came back with keytones (sp?) then she asked to see my list of what I had been eating.

I've never seen one of those, where do you find them??? Sounds like a really good idea if they aren't to expensive :)

Welcome and "Friend" on over :)

I'm a HUGE fan of juicing cabbage and zucchini. Most people don't do it but I love to combine those with Beets, it is super sweet and I don't think it is very high in calories. Beware though the color is a little strange. lol

I havent lost a lot of weight yet, but I did just start. And NOOO most days I don't eat like that, heck I even had spaghetti and Pizza today. In moderation of course and My list is open to friends, you are welcome to become one :)

My hubby (a retired military dietician) told me that my net for the day shouldn't be lower than 900 or else my body would be in starve mode, and to have most of my calories after exercise but several hours before bed. He also instructs me to work out in the morning before eating so that my body gets used to getting up and…

I agree make sure your getting enough calories, and lentils are an excellent source of proteen :) and they are soooo very tasty too. Good luck!

Depression, Yep. Extreme Fatigue, Yep. Eating like the world will end tomorow, Yep. I haven't tamed it totally yet, but I started by getting a bunch of tupperware and whenever I bought food I portioned it right away. Then I only let myself have one container, the rest has to stay in the fridge. I make cupcakes now instead…

Good for you! Reach out to some of the folks on here, they have been a great support for me. I haven't lost much yet but it has been nice to see that others are doing it.
