Have your sugars been at good levels lately Lilith? I've always heard that cinnamon helps to counteract sugar in the body so maybe you could talk to the doctor about that. I've even met people who've been able to drastically change their meds with just a little bit a cinnamon every day. Hope this helps and I'm planning to start my own weight loss postings here (I need to buy a scale first). Hope everyone is doing well and having fun doing it.

Oh and for a quick burst of energy, vitamin B-12 is one hell of a pick me up and is found in a mans semen. So, c'mon ladies and gents, it'll make you feel better.

Edit: almost forgot a few exercise related tips for those who are using weights or resistance bands:

1. Use your back, not your legs; the muscles in the back are the largest set in the human body

2. Hold your breath while you strain; the human body makes all the oxygen it needs in times of stress

3. Never use a spotter; knowing that if you can't lift that bar off your throat that no-one will is a great motivator

That's all I can think of now but I'll try to remember more for later.
