IBS Suggestions?
I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome and have had all of the lovely tests to check for serious problems-all negative. I have tried taking fiber supplements, probiotics, digestive enzymes...you name it I've tried it and there are still days that I don't dare leave the house. The dr who did my colonscopy told me nothing, just…

Husband Trouble
I don't really know how to say this in a nice way, but my husband seems to be doing a super job of seeing to it that I never eat healthy or lose weight. He went to the grocery store today to pick up prescriptions that he was out of and came home with "groceries" that are supposed to last our family of five for two weeks,…

When do you check your blood sugar levels.
I am a type 2 diabetic and my dr has never given me any clear guidelines on when to check my blood sugar levels. (She never asks about them and never even recommended that I check them) I usually check mine first thing in the morning, but I'm not sure what other times during the day I should take it, or if I should check…

I'm just wondering if anyone has other things they are addicted to....I think I have an "addictive" personality that makes it easy for me to get drawn into things more than I should. (Other than MFP of course) My current addictions are Frontierville and Farmviile. It seems like anything on the computer is dangerous for me.…

Another HRM ???
I really want to get a HRM, but I'm afraid that the chest strap will not fit around me. I've heard that they don't work as well without a chest strap. Just like those "one size fits most" things, I need a super-giant one just like the super giant blood pressure cuff in the dr's office. Also, can someone recommend one that…

Overweight Children
Does anyone have any ideas for a child (10yo) who is beginning to gain weight? She is just like her mother unfortunately and eats constantly. She has no idea of when to quit, or when she's truly hungry. We don't keep junk food in the house, except an occasional ice cream bar, but whenever she eats she always goes…

Need to get HEALTHY!!!
I'm a 43 year old homeschool mom and I've been overweight for all of my adult life and the pounds are taking a toll on my health. I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes last year, and by the time I started medication to control it, I was already showing signs of Kidney Failure. I also have the high blood pressure, and aching…
