Hi Everyone, Thanks for the words of encouragement from my last post. It helped me during the weekend - I kept hearing "just remember to keep losing weight". I even said it to my sister. I was a little upset because my knees are messed up and my exercising is not very good.
But I looked up a bunch of exercises I can do that don't require knee motion. I found some standing up crunches and seat exercises. I know that I need to strengthen my core but I am too heavy to do standard crunches and getting on the floor is not an option so those standing ab exercises are great!
I would like to recommend the book "Dr. Atkin's Vita-Nutrient Solution". I think it's a good book that explains how to use vitamins for certain ailments such as Obesity, Diabetes, High Blood pressure, etc. He recommends vitamins and explains their purpose and recommends a dosage. But like all supplements you have to make sure they don't interfere with your current meds prescribed by a doctor. I take chromium picolinate and glutamine for sugar cravings. When I take this I need less insulin, but every person may have a different experience.
