Profile

Hometown:: Idaho Falls, Idaho

Relationship Status: Single

About Me:: I'm 59, overweight, and diabetic. Also I have a beautiful daughter and 4 rambunctious grandchildren. I have chronic health problems one of which is pancreatitis. This means what I eat doesn't always digest properly. I am plagued by frequent nausea and diarrhea. Trying to follow a healthy diet including fruits and vegetables exacerbates this problem. Some days I live on cheese and toast (or crackers) - it's all I can tolerate.

Website:: http://adamswife.wordpress.com

What are your goals?: Spiritual: Pray and meditate each day; daily scripture study
Physical: Lose some weight, be more active, become stronger
General: Be kind and loving

Favorite Music:: show tunes, light classical, soft rock, hymns, golden oldies

Favorite TV Shows:: Bones, NCIS, Numbers, CSI (all cities)

What is your current exercise routine?: I move from my chair to the computer and back again. Occasionally I go upstairs to do laundry or visit with my kids. I try to either work out with an exercise tape or take a walk everyday - however, there are many things that interfere with that goal.

What diets have you tried?: Weight Watchers, ADA

What things do you want to do before you die?: I've never considered life in those terms. What I want to do every day is give as much as possible to others, live so as to make my mother proud, love 'til it hurts.

What is your favorite book?: Whatever I'm reading currently.

Nutri-System, Jenny Craig

The claim is that you get good tasting, nutritious meals and lose weight without effort. The ads make these programs sound very tempting. Has anyone had experience with this type of program?

Ask The Dietitian

Diana, I have a question for you. I've seen the late-night commercials for different kinds of juicers. Tonight I saw yet another ad for the Jack LaLanne juicer and I started thinking. From what I've read about gastroparesis I need to be careful about the kind and amount of fiber I eat. At the same time I know I need to eat more fruits and veggies as part of a healthy diet. Would one of these juicers be a good tool for someone like me? Is this a reasonable way to get more nutrition without runnin… Continue
