Help! I need supportive friends to lose weight and lower BP.
Back in 2015 I only needed to lose 30 lbs, and I did lose half of it, but now I gained all that back plus and need to lose 50 lbs, not to mention get my bloodpressire under control. Has anyone reduced bloodpressire with weight loss and diet? I'm at about 134/90. 253 lbs 51 years old.

Any gardeners out there?

I am always moving things and building walks, walls, and gardens. I like to bust my *kitten*. I just put in an order for 14 yards of pine bark mulch and will probably start…

What cookbooks or meal planners are you using?
I love to cook, but trying to balance the calories, fat, sodium, cholesterol,...... not only within each meal, but spread across the meals of the day has me scratching my head. Also I'm trying to shop and not waste money. If a recipe calls for cilantro, a really unique flavor, I'm stuck buying a bunch and then I through it…
