Thank you so much. This information is so helpful. I wasn't much overweight to begin with ...I weighed about 130 but since on this low fat diet I lost about 15 lbs and faster than I thought I would, not liking the results either..I should be thrilled, but I can be hard on myself too lol. As far as the sciatic problem, it started last year probably by trying to lift and drag a heavy stall mat and something gave, so the speicalist did an MRI and said to avoid surgery, keep things simple, and don't lift to heavy things, but of course I was feeling so good and decided to do some moving of stuff and work around the farm and it aggravated and thats what I am dealing with now, some days it feels better but others drags me down. It is on the left side. I do take multi vitamin, fish oil, vitamin D. I was taking calcium until reports came out that it could cause stroke etc. so now I am not taking supplements but trying to get it in my diet which is hard as with osteoporosis and women over 50 you should aim for 1500 mg. I am suppose to be on Fosamax? but opted to do the calcium and exercise as I did not like the effects of the drug, now I am off calcium until further reports clarify. I like the advice you give and will definetly follow it once I am feeling stronger as I do not want to aggravate the problem with sciactic, but I could probalby do upper weights and walk for now, keep me moving.
