Hello Again...
My name is Diann and I am 45 years old. Last time I weighed I was 416 lbs. I started gaining weight around 4th grade. When I look at pictures I can see it was a pretty giant leap.

Swimming
Last week I started swimming regularly. I swam 122 laps or 3.6 miles over five days. I tried to do a half mile a day. I did some water Aerobics in there as well.

Heart Rates
My resting rate is around 80 and after my quick walk it's about 120 and then after about a minute it's 80 again. Anyone have a good link to heart rate information? Edit: When I pray and meditate it's 60 at rest.

Health Vs Weight
I think it's beneficial to strive for healthy eating and exercise and put the obsession with weight loss on the back burner. So many times in my life I would start an exercise regime and diet only to become discourage because I wasn't losing ENOUGH weight or wasn't losing it fast enough so I would just give up. Ironically…

Meal Ideas on a Budget
I need some ideas on how to eat healthy when I have $50.00 a week to spend on food for two people. We've been relying on a lot of cheap food and it's taking a toll on our health. I am a lousy cook and I get so depressed because everything tastes like crap. I love healthy food. I am looking to avoid carbs and sugars. My…
