Re: Big Weight Loss

I have now lost over 120 pounds and after much thought the only advice I can give you is, "It's all mental and all diets will work". So when you get ready to diet then pick one you like and go for it. It's kinda like being an alcoholic, when you get sick and tired of being sick and tired it will hap...

Re: Confused about Oximeter...which one??

The problem with having one with only a minimum SPO2 readout is that doesn't tell you anything about how long you may have been at that level. Or whether the reading was because of a sampling error. Perhaps you moved during the night and the position of the oximeter changed for a moment. The advant...

Re: Confused about Oximeter...which one??

About the cheapest FDA approved recording oximeter I know of is the ConTec CMS-50D+ (it has to be the D+, not just the D). Last I new there was a great buy on it at thepulseoxstore.com or pulseoxstore.com for $84, software included. I use one and am happy w/it. Thanks Slinky, I just pulled the trig...

Confused about Oximeter...which one??

So far I have been off the mask for two weeks and I feel great, but I want to check to see if I am having any Oxygen desaturation. Do I actually need an oximeter that can download all the info in graph form or is there one that will record and display the lowest number. I am thinking about having my...

Re: TROLL ALERT! - IF YOU ARE BORED HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO TROLL

Is there a brief synopsis of this thread, I got very lost and to be honest it kinda reminded of the show LOST. I am guessing that no one here is who they say they are and who they think they are is not really them either. So when does the smoke monster show up?

Re: personal question for those that wish to respond

Get your hormone levels checked to make sure you are making all the girly homones that your body needs. I don't mind saying my manly-man hormones were all all out kilter but monthly shots make it all better. Sorry I got so technical! For women, too, the manly hormones affect sex drive. Women can be...

Re: Good white noise machine?

I have a white noise machine that I bought back in 93 and it still emits old school white noise. White noise was so much better back then, not all digital like it is today. Did I mention that I had to walk uphill bothways in the snow back when I bought it. I also use an old school fan that I bought ...

Re: TV series is looking for people wanting to lose 10 stone

Exploitation presumes that there's no real benefit for the "participants", which there honestly isn't. These people aren't getting healthy. They are competing against each other for money. They're starving and dehydrating themselves and exercising to a point that their health is in danger. This for...
