I just started this support group. I could use as much support as I can get in trying to lose weight. I started exercising at the gym 3 to 4 times per week a while back. It's going really well so far. I've lost a total of 6 1/2 inches overall throughout my whole body so far. It was like 1 inch around my waist, 1/2 inch around my upper waist, and a little around my arms, chest and thighs. Plus i've lost a total of 14 pounds so far. Part of my secret is diet pop and smaller portions and of course working out. Some people believe that diet pop actually makes you gain weight, but that usually only happens if you eat or drink other sugar in its place which I don't usually. I am excited to see the next time I get measured at the gym. It should be interesting to see how much more i've lost; that is if I can keep going at this rate. I have high hopes!

    Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics.  An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism.  Another new factoid for me.  The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
