I am thinking that walking is the easiest for most of us to do. You can do it anytime, anywhere, at your own pace, only need a good pair of tennis shoes and you are off.

Myfitnesspal does the same thing petmom. I will check that one out also to compare and see which one works best for me. the one I have been using has helped me go from 252 down to 194.

I have found a few phone apps that have been helpful to help me lose weight. So far, 11 pounds down in just over 2 months. Getting new puppies and walking them almost every day (weather permitting) has gotten my energy levels higher too. I really would like to connect with others, see what tips they have to share and start to coach each other as…[Read more]

One BIG concern that I have and have been following is the combination of opioid pain medications and benzodiazepines (like valium, xanax, klonopin, ativan and others) used as sleep agents or to lower anxiety. A report just came out from the Maryland Dept of Health about this and its role in prescription medication overdose. The warning is this:…[Read more]

Welcome Stevie,

How was your visit with your daughter? I hope there was a pre-Father’s Day celebration, California style. Did you learn any new traveling tips along the way?
