Lucky2Bhere Member Registered: 03/04/06 Posts: 533	I wanted to offer my sincere thanks to everyone who posted here, particularly Squeak and BBBB. Very enlightening....and nice to know I'm not alone in struggling with a stubborn metabolism. I picked up some good solid hints and tips here, so I wouldn't mind seeing more postings. Lucky

In my own case, I could digest a whole cow as long as I eat lettuce with it. My preference is green leaf. I buy a large bunch and wash and store it in the fridge immediately. Then I carry enough in my handbag daily to last the whole day (it folds easy!!). Water...I was lucky enough to be told about the health benefits of drinking water in large amounts when I was 18. Since then I don't go anywhere without a container of water and drink it roughly every two hours whether I'm thirsty or not. In the morning I drink 32 oz immediately over a 1 one hour time period and then I drink casually during the day until I've reached 3/4 to 1 whole gallon. I find when I forget to drink water, my body gets tired immediately and that within 30 minutes of water intake I get my energy back. In December, I leave myself a note to remember to carefully watch what I'm eating and how much I'm drinking to get through playing events. I find it has a definite effect on my energy and, particularly when I don't drink soda or eat sweets, I don't suffer from aches and pains from the night before. Not to mention mucho vitamins and extra amounts of Vitamin C. Life can be a challenge. Lucky

It has been a year now since the wake-up call and I have lost 40 pounds, cholesterol normal, liver normal, sugars normal. Sorry for the length of this post and I don't want to seem fanatical but I just wanted to encourage those who are struggling with this. There are no gimmicks or quick fixes but YOU CAN DO IT! Cheers, Brian[/B] Brian, I've been reading through this a few times now. Interesting that you "sing better" too. I found the same thing happens to me when I lose weight. And...particularly more energy. You wrote: "Sorry for the length of this post." Don't be. I got a lot out of it. A good overview......no gimmicks, no tricks, no magic elixirs! Just straight will power. I've been athletic all my life but have been slacking off this last year. You wrote: "When the doc says you are going to a have a heart attack before you are 60 or you are on the way to becoming a diabetic it made me wake up." Me: That keyword "diabetic" caught my attention again. Diabetes: easy to get.....impossible to lose! I'm keenly aware of diabetes but it doesn't hurt to be reminded of it regularly! Lucky

travlin'easy Senior Member Registered: 12/08/02 Posts: 15576 Loc: Forest Hill, MD USA	The equation for target heart rate is: 210 minus your age. It's a standard that has been around for as long as I can remember. Keep in mind, though, that if you are taking a beta-blocker you cannot attain this rate because of the effects of the medication.
