New scale question
So, hubby bought a new scale. an electronic fancy one. I think this one somehow syncs with things, but I will never figure that part out... Problem is that it weighs me in at about 1 1/2 lbs higher than my old scale. I really don't care about the number itself, as I have been loosing slow but steady and I haven't been…

Hello there!
I started this group because after searching and searching I could not find a group for people who use these machines. I am NO expert, I have done a decent amount of research and just bought my first machine. I have Fibromyalgia, and want it for pain relief, but have friends who have them who have had wonderful toning and…

I'm back - Anyone else here?
I stopped taking care of myself (taking care of others instead, not a great move) and have packed on more weight. It may not be a lot by some standards, but the last time I weighed this much, I was pregnant (16 years ago!)

Activity tracker question
So, my husband wants to get a fitbit or something similar. It is important that it also measure sleep (or lack thereof) activity. I want to get the same as he gets as I am tech incompetent in many ways. But I ahve a few hesitations about the fitbit... A friend had hers for a few month and then had to replace it after…

Getting back on track
Hi there... I have been off track while helping my step mom BEAT cancer. But I am home full time again, and ready to get back on track to get healthy.

Taking the plunge (plus GF like reaction question)
So.... My husband has Celiac, plus diabetes, so I have been cooking very low carb as well as gluten free diet for him for a few years. I just went to an endocrinologist to rule out some thyroid crap that could be part of my Fibromyalgia. He decided to actually be a real doctor and care enough to do a bunch of other…

Wheat research - food for thought
I came across this today, and thought it may be if interest for those who are not Celiac, but avoid wheat for other reasons. "... a study published this month in the British Journal of Nutrition has put Davis’ theory to the test, by giving twenty sufferers of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) either modern wheat products…

Rotten, no good news....
I have been really off track... trying to get back in the groove. :frown: My Step Mom has been diagnosed with Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer. It has metastasized to her lungs. I live in VA, but have been in NJ to help out for the last 3 weeks. I am staying in the Studio apt over the garage (really nice!) and cooking, helping…

Hungry - how to keep it under control?
How do you gals come in under your calorie goals when you are STARVING all day? Weather has been crazy, so I have been in pain, and when I hurt (I have fibromyalgia) I either don't want to think about food, or my stomach won't stop gnawing at me. It doesn't seem to matter how much protein, fat or fiber I have with a meal,…

Positive messaging for "the rest of us"
I am pretty much a lurker in this section, as I have some health issues that keep me from going to the gym, although I "should" do it. Anyway, I came across this, and hope that some people here would appreciate it. I LOVE this woman's healthy attitude about working out and loving yourself, as well as having a healthy…
