Thanks!


I do work out with the circuit weight machines twice a week at the gym


How many calories do you think i should eat per day?


can you give me some exaples?


i keep reading that women over 40 and in menopause need to stay away from white flour and sugar

How long have you've been doing the circuit machines at the gym? Are you increasing your weight from time to time? I think most drs would encourage anyone to stay away from white flour and sugar but for me a reality is finding an eating plan I can stick to. No way
