2012 weight loss group

[Abraham]

Most of what I've read on this thread pertains to food intake with little emphasis on exercise.

Yes, if your weight is far over the norm, you can't exercise, yet..., but once exercise is possible, start.

Starting can be as simple as walking outside your residence for a 100' and then back to the couch.

Next day, do it again.

Continue this approach and gradually lengthen your distance.

Ultimately, your stamina will build, your strength increase and you'll be able to go for miles, feeling great and being much healthier - plus, you'll look better too, not just slimmer.

Grats, Carlson, seriously. Do you know about how many calories of fruit you're eating a day? I don't know that I could completely switch to your diet, but I do love me some fruit.

Do to all of my health issues I am not able to "exercise." I am now finally at the point I can get out and do a little. I spent 8 years in a wheel chair.

I have a serious problem with my diabetes and was told to avoid fruit. I learned after a few years (first of all God's first food group was fruit in the Garden of Eden ) that we need fruit.

I do not know the calories because I do not worry about calories. I eat everything berries in moderation. A lot of blueberries because they are one of the super foods. Strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries. I do eat oranges and apples although not many because they do effect my glucose readings.

I sure hope that this thread goes right on through 2013. I have so far to go and this actually encourages me.

TAM (The Annoyed Man) has invited me to go with him to his church they have a little get together that is a big encouragement, but it seems every time I decide I can go something happens. I am going to make that happen soon. I would enjoy setting and listening to other to learn new and improve ways of doing eating healthy.
