It wasn't the burgers that did me in, but rather the carbs.

(50,059 posts)EAT RIGHT AND EXERCISE became a way of life instead of just a slogan. I completely rebuilt my diet from scratch. Adopted a walking program that started with 5 minute shuffles once a day and grew to 30 minute power-walks twice a day. I lost 50 pounds in 5 months. (And gained 7 back in the 10th month. Got my eye on that shit.)
But other than the bum ticker, Im in the best shape since I was a teenager!
Heart attack scared the shit out of me. Still does. Recovering from that was/is hard. But in my book its better than recovering from a cracked open chest. LOL. No thanks, man! I mean, Ill do it if I have to, but Ill do anything to make sure I DON T have to.

Diabetes is one of the most common causes. Poor circulation can also contribute (and also causes cankles)

(5,211 posts)he usually spends most of his day sitting at his desk. He doesnt even rise to greet his guests. Just plants himself on his butt and then we cant see his ankles or his diaper. All those people standing around him as he holds court look uncomfortable and ridiculous.
