TRYING TO GET HEALTHY Community Group

Thought we could use a newer version of all topics we may want to work on. From losing weight to reducing cholesterol, controlling blood sugar, activities to strengthen not just our bodies, but also our battered and bruised egos and self esteem...A place where we can share knowledge as well as encouragement to help each other to grow stronger and healthier. All are...

HELLO and welcome to all out there ...

I was checking out some info about cholesterol and came across some old groups from over a year ago and some as long as 8 years. Thought it was time for an update. Plus was thinking we could list whatever subject we choose and those of us interested would have an easier time to comment.   Some I wouldn't mind seeing are...


losing weight       controlling blood sugars     reducing cholesterol    strengthening our bodies    rebuilding self esteem


I hope to see and hear from more of you so we may share our knowledge and support.

I was actually put on a med ,but I believe that was causing muscle weakness, so I stopped it. Thought I should try to control it with diet and exercise (if possible.)

Will look up statins again also.
Thanx

I take statins and my now deceased Brother in Law was put on the same one I am on and he had a seizure....so he stopped it....but the end was putting the gun against his head in front of my sister in their bedroom and pulling trigger....not cholesterol at all....

Hi Kim, another great group! Joined.
I think you already covered this in a previous post but I know plain old oatmeal is good for lowering cholesterol. I have it most days for breakfast with a little yogurt and fruit. Also, recently purchased some organic flax seed at health food store and have sprinkled some on top.

Just FYI, of the topics you mentioned above, the ones that apply to me are trying to lose weight, strengthening body, increasing self esteem and possibly cholesterol (need to get it checked, it has been a little high in the past)

A tip: THE DASH DIET is great. I lost 50 pounds on it a few years ago. It's targeted to lowering blood pressure but it's a good all around eating plan. Has very good guidelines for foods, portions, etc and is easy to understand.

I don't know if the above link will work if you copy it and put it in your browser. If not, I guess you would need to look it up with google.

    My friend invited me out for lunch at this nice, clean sit-in place, where I got to order a salad of my choice with two chicken toppings out of a wall-mounted variety. I don't remember the name of the place. However, it was a nice experience. Thereafter, we headed down to one of my favorite dessert destinations, the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in McAllen. It had been a while since we just...

    DS, I just have to say that if I did not love my friends here on DS I would be gone in a heart beat!  I am at my wits end of losing posts!  It seems like the Gateway thing seems to be a you problem.  How can we fix it?  I always make sure that I am online and signed in before I hit send.Welcoming any suggestions other than the ones that I recieved before.
