No joint pain, no gout, no problem

Greetings all
Today is January 30Th 2011. I have been without gout for six months or so. I still have some stiffness in my joints, but nothing too bad. My wife has started the diet and exercise program that Jillian Michaels promotes. She is dragging me along with her and we are both are doing good. She has lost eight pounds and I have lost six. Aside from the weight loss my diabetes is much more under control. My insulin usage has dropped from 120(+) units to ten units a day. I have been exercising on a daily basis and even though it's been only a week I am feeling better already. Having said all that I am far from perfect at sticking strictly to it, but I'm getting better. So if you're like me start a diet and exercise program and you'll feel better. Don't worry if you aren't perfect, even the smallest change will help.

Better run, have a great day and start something good.

Just a short note

Greetings all
It's now almost the middle of January, the temperature out doors is cold at best. I sure like the warm weather better. I think Spring and Fall are my favorite times of year. Not too hot and not too cold.

I have been gout free for some time now and it has been great. I'm not doing anything special, I take my allopurnal and have cut back on the sugars and calories. Not enough to contribute any significant weight loss.

Just wanted to give an update.
