You can't help anyone until you get yourself together first. Stick to foods you can pronounce with one word. And join a fitness program. Then change the world! peace out

yoohoo,
that is so nice of what you want to do. first off, can you tell us what helps you and what does not help? how old are you? p.d. isn't talked about much at all on talk show's or commercials, anything, it's like a hidden disease. i feel very alone with my dad having it, like you have it. i dooubt my dad can do exercises due to his age and weakness. yet he's a trooper. thanks for your wanting to help. that helps just knowing you're interested. bless you

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
