Having COPD & heart disease are a double whammy for me. I joined FatSecret with the full intent of losing weight. I started documenting my food intake and was astounded by the content my daily food intake!
I still hope to lose weight but I changed my focus to increasing protein and reducing sodium intake, while tracking my daily exercise.
When I first joined, in January of this year, walking to the bathroom left me breathless. I concentrated on increasing my lung capacity/health and today I am celebrating some small victories. I climbed up & down my flight of stairs 5 consecutive times before my breathing became heavy!
I haven't lost weight 'per se' but I am getting some muscle definition back in my legs, despite the edema and my 'gramma belly' is down about half an inch! Small victories definitely give hope!
