Blood Pressure Success
Thank you MFP - you are changing my life (for the better)! My doctor had been threatening me for years to put me on blood pressure medicine and finally decided to kick my *kitten* into gear this past February.

This past fall we dropped my oldest daughter off at college and posed for pictures in her dorm room. I just about died when I saw the pics posted on Facebook.

When is too much, too much?
Hi there MFP pals! As far as tracking nutrients go, there are some obvious categories you don't want to go over in, such as calories, sugar, sodium, and carbs. My wife and I eat tons of fruit and veggies and high fiber cereal/snacks. Are there opinions or studies about pluses or minuses to going over in the fiber and…

Love 36
For the past 1-1/2 years, I've been squeezing into 38" waist jeans. Around January things starting getting worse and I had to pull the 40" pants out of storage. After 12 weeks of consistent exercise and 6 weeks of calorie counting, I'm wearing 36" waist jeans... probably the first time since high school! Couldn't be…
