Re: MoFo Health Thread

Yeah, I love walking too now.

I do like to swim in the ocean. But I guess the bacteria levels are high right now, so I haven't been able to go.

I know what you mean. It's easy to lose some steam, especially when holidays roll around. I did just that this last week, and struggled with lethargy and staying motivated. I kept doing my walks and...

Re: MoFo Health Thread

So I'm not *worried* about how my weight fluctuates each day, but it's always fun to see a two pound drop, even if there might be reasons for that more than just genuine weight loss.

Update.

Regarding weight, I'm trying to lose it at a slower rate because I hear that helps the skin adjust which can reduce loose skin. I think that month last year when I lost 24 pounds was too...

This is probably reasonable but weighing myself consistently keeps me on track, at least for the most part. I guess the takeaway is I shouldn't beat myself up over a pound or two.

Re: MoFo Health Thread

I had this really sharp pain above my stomach on the right side (and barely on the left) and I wonder if it is kidney or liver related. Fortunately it is not nearly as bad today, so I think it will...

I, Swam, know what stevia is but not much about it's healthiness. It's supposed to be better than sugar, right?

Re: MoFo Health Thread

Well, the weight is starting to go down again. I may have lost five pounds since last week, though it's more likely around three.

It's a journey, isn't it? And yeah, there are definitely some common suggestions that work across the board, I agree. Not many will argue that vegetables are bad, for example.
