    OK, I really need to try this yoga thing. Is there a good youtube video or something online I can follow along with?

    I like Yoga with Adrienne, with tons of videos on YouTube. I discovered her a few years ago when I really started traveling for work. Do a class and let me know what you think!

    I've tried so many different Yoga videos on YouTube, and finding the right kind of yoga for you can take some time, so I encourage you to try many different styles and instructors to find what feels right to you. I dance for cardio, and Yoga for me is more for flexability, mobility, and relaxation. It's my ME TIME. I prefer Yin Yoga and Restorative. Check out Jessica Richburg on YouTube, she's my favorite. Here's a link: https://youtu.be/c56tAJ9KjRg

    thank you!!! Now I just have to find a place to do it, since I feel like it won't be all that relaxing with my 2 dogs jumping all over me! haha.

    I just did a YouTube yoga for the first time on Monday. It was Yoga for beginners. I am still sore, but that just shows me how much I need to do it! Good luck!

    Hi all! My name is Jen and I just turned 46 not too long ago. Trying again to get this weight off, and keep it off. Was doing great until Covid came along. I can't use that as an excuse anymore. Just need to jump in. I need some likeminded folks, so please feel free to "friend" me.

    My Dad got the results of a biopsy yesterday - he has an aggressive, fast growing lymph cancer. Chemo starts next week.

    I hope lockdown eases at some point soon so I can visit him.

    Im so sorry to hear that 😔 I hope you do get to visit him.. a terrible time to be apart.

    I went through this last summer. Hug your Dad when you can. And if he asks you to go get him take-out soup from that place he likes, no matter how inconvenient it is, just do it. Trust me.

    I had to put my dog in the crate for awhile when doing yoga or stretching at home. Lately she is behaving better and will lay on the floor next to the mat. Most of the time. 😁

    Back into work we go, ho hum... Had a letter from My consultant which says I have damage to medial meniscus of my left knee with a possible tear, also the leg alignment is off so it bows outwards putting extra strain on the joint... nothing to do but work around it and hope they can get me fixed up in some way or another.
    Always happy to have extra friends to chat to on this journey, right now think I could do with them..

    Yesterday was the annual physical, which culminated in a To Do list that includes extensive blood work including thyroid and testosterone testing, an x-ray to confirm what is probably arthritis, and a suggestion to try Lexapro for anxiety and depression.

    I'm curious if anyone's tried Lexapro, or Zoloft, or any meds along those lines -- and I recognize that you may not want to respond in public. If you've tried it, and are willing to share your thoughts, please send me a private message. And if you're willing to share them publicly, that's great, too. Thanks!

    47yr old here. I've always been athletic and fit (soccer player/coach, runner, bootcamp nut) but joined MFP to lose covid weight that snuck up on me. Now hoping to take it to the next level with at-home fitness and healthy diet - need to be a good role model to my 3 kids! Any other Canadians out there?

    Hi Sweats, I'm on Lexapro combined with Wellbutrin. I'm not ashamed of it, it's something that I need to keep sane. I used to joke with my doctor the way my depression and anxiety worked that I wasn't going to kill myself, I was going to kill you. (joking...sort of). I really feel a lot less on edge, I tried taking myself off of it a few years ago, and yeah...within 2 weeks I couldn't stand the person I was.

    Due to covid and added stress, my doctor has looked at prescribing me marijuana, but insurance doesn't cover it...and it's going to be legal the next state over pretty soon so I know I can get it if I really need it..haha.
