Anyone who has trouble motivating themselves for exercise should think of playing a rigorous team sport they enjoy. When you enjoy it, it's easy to overlook the fact that it's even exercise.
I once lost 12 pounds during hockey training.
That's 12 pounds IN ONE DAY, mind you . . . while playing roller hockey outside for 6+ hours in 95-degree heat one summer -- and despite drinking about four gallons of water during that time, too.
Kids, don't ever try this at home. LOL.
That’s pretty rough. If I were in that position I’d be exercising before the crack of dawn!
I have an occasional bout of heartburn that makes it hard to sleep. I'll take a Tylenol PM (half of one tablet) if I can't get to sleep.
Yeah, right. I’m damn lucky to make it to work on time as it is.
I try, and that's what I have to work on. To me, a starting point is to admit to myself that I am inherently (physically) a lazy sonofabitch.
I'm having trouble since I quite smoking last year and can't exercise right now due to 3 herniations in my lumbar. (Surgery is not yet scheduled but should be within the month)
Maybe I'll get some good ideas about how to shed the almost 20 lbs I've gained in the last year. :(
Marked for reading 4 20# less. :)
How many years had she been diabetic?
Surgery is no guarantee. Docs can't give guarantees.

Can you swim?
I've been messing with this for about 8 months, trying to avoid surgery.
I've had steroid injections facet joint injections. Nothing has worked. It's getting worse so I figure it's time for surgery.
Can you swim?
I can but I'm hoping that I can get back to walking at the gym in about 3 months or so.
I'm a terrible muncher. If I could follow the "no carbs after 4pm" idea I'd be back in my "skinny jeans"!
About two diagnosed, we figure five additionally undiagnosed. She had other problems that the doctors kept chasing around. She got a new doctor and pretty much first thing she did was test her blood sugars and A1C.
Even her teeth grinding cleared up once she was diagnosed and started treating it properly...which was surprising, but hey I’m sleeping better for that.
I’ve been one for over 25 years. I’m on insulin and know I could do better if I ate less carbs and less sweet stuff. I don’t know why I don’t.
