I am 68 years old and my doctor calls me the healthiest unhealthy person he knows. I am on a mission to change what I can. I have three grown children and 5 grandchildren. I started gaining and losing weight after I got married in 1967. It got progressively worse after I was diagnosed with leukemia in 2000. Between the diabetes meds and the chemo meds and the blood pressure meds I was a mess. I am finally off three meds 2 for blood pressure and 1 for arthritis and have lost 15 lbs, but most of that was water weight. there have been many starts on changing my way of eating but I am determined this time and hope to get off a few more meds. Just as leukemia has changed my out look on life I am going to do this for me this time.

Is it possible to lose weight without physical exercise?
mummydee was replying to Ibiza122 and Starisi sorry you got confused. Starisi was saying that the ketosis diet was a good one for fast weight loss and I disagreed based on having diabetes. there is no one size fits all diet. and yes you can lose weight without exercise but it is slower to come off. hope I am now clear with everyone.

Starisi, being in ketosis is not a good thing you can harm your kidneys among other things. Being a diabetic my goal is to stay out of ketosis.

lisinopril?
I was taken off of it because of a cough. was put on calan and developed a one time case of congestive heart failure. was taking Norvasc and Isosorbide but was taken off those because of excessive fluid retention. am on only two now instead of 4 blood pressure meds feeling much better. I have learned to keep telling the doctor something is wrong until they listen.
