Blood Pressure Question
I haven't posted in a very long time and I hope that this is the appropriate section. I figured there have to be a few MFP users who may be able to help me here. My husbands blood pressure was sky high last night, reaching as high as 183/110 yesterday and getting lower at 146/89. We went to the ER but they couldn't really…

It doesn't happen overnight, so be proud of yourself today :
I see a lot of posts about people getting frustrated because the scale doesn't move after 3 days or 2 weeks in the gym isn't showing much progress. SLOW DOWN. I myself have been frustrated as well. But we have to remember this doesn't happen over night. It will take months and for some of us maybe even years to lose the…

Shoes
Just figured I would ask here since most can probably relate, but what kind of shoes do you wear to exercise? I am looking into investing in some GOOD shoes that will be able to handle my weight plus last a good while. My mom, when she was 330+, was wearing SAS San Antonio Shoes and they were really good and lasted a…

Calling all fitness/workout gurus!
Didn't quite think searching the forums would cover this, so here I go... I started going to the gym regularly about a month and a half ago or so. I am over 300lbs still so I can't really run or jog yet. However I walk the treadmill at 3.0mph until I can lose enough weight. I'll list my workout routine in order that I do…

I find it funny....
That we are all on here to lose weight, yet I find myself on my butt in front of the computer for hours just looking through the message boards. lol. It's very motivational, but a distraction from things I should be doing! :)

You don't have to be perfect!
Okay so I found this article from a friend and I really liked it so I wanted to post it. We all come here to either lose weight or get healthy. But there is also this negative attitude toward women of plus sizes. I know that there is a line between healthy and overweight/obesity, but at the same time women at size 12 can…

Upper butt fat!
Need some advice. I have dropped a little weight but more size than anything since I have started changing my habits. I have started to see my lower butt disappear, however my upper butt seems to still look like a tire! I have done this for the most part without exercise and no I don't need anyone to tell me that I really…

Oatmeal question
Okay, I know that I should probably search for this topic, but it's rather hard to weed through looking for my specific question. Has anyone tried to bake oatmeal in the oven with just water? I'm talking the instant oatmeal packets mostly. It seems like it would taste better to me rather than in the microwave. I like…

Let's talk about colon health! :)
Let me start by saying I am of course not a doctor. So check with your doctor before doing anything someone on here might tell you. lol. But seriously, I wanted to post about this stuff I have used before called Colonix. I am NOT advertising for the product, but more for people who might need to clean out their system and…

Losing weight fast and keeping it off?
Alright, so I have a question (I searched but didn't find another topic like this). I need to lose quite a bit of weight, over 100lbs at least. I have lost over 6 lbs in 9 days and 2 pounds previous to that in the last month. My question is, has anyone had experience with losing weight fast and keeping it off? I changed my…

Wheat/dairy free diet driving me crazy!
I started my wheat/dairy free diet on Thursday. It's only Tuesday. The fat kid in me cant stop thinking about a grilled chicken sandwich on a wheat bun or mozzarella cheese sticks with ranch! I've done good and haven't eaten wheat or dairy. I have even looked up sweets recipes with almond/coconut flower that I am going to…

New and floudnering :(
So I've been on here for several weeks now but haven't introduced myself or really visited the message boards much. However, I think now is the time to try it out! I suffer from depression so this is a big thing for me to overcome the constant lack of energy, need to sleep and lack of drive to do anything. For about a…
