The meds like to make me a jellyfish. :( Thyroid Cancer “survivor” of 28 yrs. I suppose that’s the GOOD news. My health has gone downhill since. I’ve always suspected the thyroid hormone replacement…[Read more]

    I am doing well. I am finding that I am only hungry once a day. I am starting my exercising again today. I appreciate ya’ll so much. I have family that likes to sabbatoge me. I dont know why I am only hungry once a day. Is that okay?

    • Hi Cheree – It is healthier to eat three smaller meals than to eat one big meal. Breakfast is very important. Are you drinking water or some other beverage with carbs in it . I could be that you are drinking your calories. Are you snacking ? Are you losing weight?

      • Drinking tons of water only. No dt sodas for a week. No snacking at all. I actually am not losing weight at all. If you think I must eat small meals I shall. I have to exercise 7 days a week not to gain weight. I usually eat egg whites tuna and salad at lunch and fish and veggies at night. I get home late from gym no I thought that would…[Read more]

        • You are right – It is not good to eat late at night – so perhaps rather than going without all day long you can have a couple what you would probably call a mini meal and what I would call a meal at a break time. It is all about portion control. How much tuna and fish are you eating. You should be eating something every 4-5 hours and have your…[Read more]

          • Things would be much easier if you get and read the book…you are at an extreme disadvantage not having read the book yet.

            • I got the book today!

              • I eat egg whites at breakfast lunch in 3 ounces tuna and dinner is 4 ounces fish. I eat leafy greens at lunch and dinner is brocolli aspargus and brussell sprouts. I lost two lbs trying o get to 140 and tone and stop I am 143

    • Not eating is putting your body into starvation mode which will keep you from gaining health and may cause you to gain not lose weight. Now that you have to book you should read it from cover to cover and keep us posted on how its going.

    Well, it was easy to fall off during my recent flu. The doctor really explained to me how I am skinny fat like Dr. Hyman says. Lots of cardio and more weight training than I thought. I am Metabollically obesse at normal weight. More body fat than lean muscle and my family doctor showed great concern. I am trying hard daily I guess I cant…[Read more]

    • Sorry to hear that the flu visited you. This years can be brutal . I think that you need to give you self permission for this to take what ever time it is going to take and relax. You have a plan . The Blood Sugar Solution way of life. AS far as being metabolically obese at normal weight. I have never figured out what “normal ” weight means.…[Read more]

    • Cheree – You can do this!…the withdrawal from caffeine and diet coke can be brutal. Get some green tea…that will help you through it . i quit drinking diet coke in January of 2012. I had a taste of it a couple months ago and it tasted terrible. You will find very soon that your tastes are going to completely change. cravings for caffeine ,…[Read more]

    • Hi Cheree, Thank you for posting. We all have good days and trying ones. The best thing is when you get to the end of the day and realize you have gotten through the struggles.
      Every morning is a clean slate, never mind about yesterday. I think the exercise is introduced in week 3 so do not try to do too much at once. The carb cravings will…[Read more]

    • Good for you ! Starting at gym is geat! Are you keep ing a journal . I highly recommend that you do so if you are not doing it now.

These are sheets that I toss eventually but keep as a reference for 30 days so I have it to take to the…[Read more]

    • Hi Cheree, Are you following the BSS plan? basic or advanced? I can totally believe you are liking the food. Many of us much prefer our home prepared veggies and protein meals. We miss them when having to eat in restaurants for a couple days. The better quality ingredients are something our bodies really want.

    • How did your first day go? Looks like you had a great start food-wise. Keep us posted.

    I have to take Nitroglycerin tabs to control the painful angina attacks. Does anyone else take this magical medication in this club?

  • Lenora Wernli posted an update in the group Group logo of Heart DiseaseHeart Disease 8 months ago

    That’s what I would like to know!!! My triple bypass failed after only 8 years. I cannot have another because there are no veins left. What next?

    • It’s time to change your lifestyle Lenora. You can do it! Have you tried the Blood Sugar Solution plan yet?

    I survived a heart attack two years ago. The mediations I take make my sluggish and tired which makes it hard to stay motivated to exercise and eat right. Starting tomorrow I plan to start Dr. Hymen’s plan. Wish me luck.
