katla - reclast is an osteoporosis drug. It's administered intravenously. Took about 30 minutes for the entire infusion. Now I don't go back for another year. The downloadable workouts that I have are from cardiocoach.com. They're not technically specifically for spinning, but he'll say things like "we'll climb a hill for 3 minutes then recover for 1 minute" "up the incline or resistance". They're really for any cardio -- running or whatever. At one time you could listen to a clip of the workout on the website, not sure if it's still that way or not. You can check.

Thanks for the explanation, Michelle. Osteoporosis is a concern for me due to medication I've been taking since my early 30's to combat acid reflux. The medicine depletes the calcium in your bones, among other, more desirable things. I've been taking mega-doses of Citracal plus d3 for years in an effort to offset this. I had a bone density done last year, and it shows some bone density loss but not enough that they're medicating me yet. I risk the osteoporosis this medicine can cause because acid reflux will eventually lead to cancer of the esophagus if left untreated. There is no good choice for me on this one, and the osteoporosis risk is the lesser of two evils.

MegBlair - my kids fell through the ice and were rescued last year. This year they were just interviewed for a segment ABC did on how to survive falling through ice. My daughter rocked, the rest of us were left on the cutting room floor.
Sue - didn't know you were born in New Orleans. Of course Biloxi is just a hop skip and jump away so we went to the beach there almost every weekend. Really saddens me to see they've made it a Casino town.
Exermom - I would have LOVED to have been able to pet Barbaro. Your friend is so lucky.0 -
Hi all, sorry I haven't had much time to check in here - I do love reading all the posts and keeping up with your lives. I've got a week left before I head off to the Netherlands but I've been working 12 hours a day to get everything done before I leave (at work that is). 5 meetings in 24 hours is enough to finish anyone (Meg I'm sure you hear me on this one).
A lot of us seem to be sick. I'm feeling a little off but I think it might just be fatigue and not sleeping well. Anyone have any tips for getting some sleep on a red eye flight? I don't have and sleeping pills or Tylenol with codeine in the house and they usually put me to sleep but I returned them to the pharmacy for destruction as they were getting stale dated. I don't very often have medications or prescriptions so kind of in the dark here.
I just don't think I'm going to have time to keep up here but I hope to check in a few more times before I leave. I'm hoping to log while I'm away - that reminds me, have to get an international phone plan tomorrow (and some Euros).
Keep up the water and exercise and logging and I hope everyone is feeling better soon.

Good morning,
It is 1:06 am here was in bed asleep but I woke up with really bad heartburn. I haven't. Suffer from heartburn like this in such a long time. Sort of surprises me. Woke up my back was hurting so bad could hardly breath than I notice the tightness in my chest area and nausea feelings. So up now waiting for it to past.
So many posts sure enjoy reading them all.
Welcome to all who are new!
@Linda. I agree with you we need our dose of F. Sure helps!
@Karla glad to hear that your husband is home.
@kimmy. Welcome
@Dee good for you in getting a trainer bet you felt accomplish today in its good to feel those muscles.
@Glenda that is a great way to look at this journey.
@Meg sending healthy thoughts your way.
@Barbie I will go check out that link. I have never really search it out before. Now I am curious
@Michele -- I don't know about the board stuff that maybe boring ...but I do like playing those games. I have never found time or an outlet to play these games except the holidays.
@Linda -- I do go to the. Y one day I just love it
@Lili sounds like such a fun trip.. I love reading all of the posts too and it can be hard to keep up.
Feeling a bit better now. Going to head to bed now try to get a couple more hours of sleep in before work.
Wishing everyone a good night!0 -
Good. Morning from the Uk
I do so enjoy reading your posts although sometimes I think we speak a different language! Once on holiday in Florida I reported to the hotel receptionist that someone had left their boot open.after much discussion I realised I should of said Boot!, But the friendship is such a common denominators you have proved in these my first few days.
June so true about being kind to ourselves. We are important. It is one of the constants . Every day you are the same nice person whatever what the scales say. Jody & Lucy - Hope you both feel better today. Katia - so sorry to hear about your major life change. My best wishes. Sometimes our lives take a sudden detour and this can be so challenging. Mary - good luck on your journey restart ....... I do love a hat! Kimmy - do enjoy the Mardi Gras - must put that on my bucket list Food ideas? I am not advocating a specific diet plan but I lost my weight with Slimming World. Five years later and I still use the recipes. I do my best to calculate the calories and they work out ok. It is based on low calorie high density foods being free food - only restricting high calorie dense food . No food is bad food, which is a healthy attitude for me. Feel free to look at my diary. This week I have had Pork, egg and veg fried rice. - chicken pie - spaghetti carbonara - chicken and bacon hotspot - cheese and onion pie! Some recipes on www.slimmingworld.com/healthy-eating/recipes.aspx Just a thought! Barbie - like the sound of the boots. In the UK we think it is cold at - 1. A bit of snow and we ground to a halt! So ill prepared. Go Mary! Swimming is such a good sport. My DH runs a swimming club but has to rehydrate in a good old pub after! Deb - yes get tired in the afternoon. I go for a walk or have a power nap. Well why not? I don't feel guilty - if it's good enough for my grandchildren it's good enough for me! I can sleep upright , at a party, plane ..... You name it,,,
Oh well - off for another fun day - went to a lunchtime lecture yesterday about due cluttering my life so off to do some of my " round 2 It" jobs.
Byeeee Jo

Liz You might want to see your Dr. that could be more than just heartburn, especially with your chest feeling tight, don`t ignore that!!!!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day! Drink your water:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: and log your food!!!
Hugs,
DeeDee in NC0 -
Good Morning ladies!!! Just thought I would pop in and say Hello! I love reading every ones posts. I'm just not much of a poster myself.0

Hi There, I guess I'm with all of you guys trying to lose weight. It's very hard. The friend I started on here with I think is losing her motivation so as a result, I'm not getting much motivation myself. I don't blame her. She has severe, severe rheumatoid arthritis and she's always in pain. We're the same age, 54. But it is hard for me to stay motivated. There are times I just want to give in to that wonderful feeling after eating a big bowl of mac and cheese, donuts or chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.
So far I'm hanging in there, but it's not easy.0 -
Good morning all I opted to do this quick this morning I did read all of the last page.
Cold here again this morning I even skipped coffee. Just to darn cold and kinda slept in.
Went to bed 10:30 clock watched until after 1:am. Hate those nights.
Well Had my two weight watchers toast this morning but think I just bought the last loaf of that. I'll get the 12 grain and have one slice instead of two. At 4 dollars a loaf for weight watchers it's just not worth it. They take advantage of us poor fat girls.
Well today has to be good. Need to take it easy. Bad enough my morning weight is up by 1 lb. Don't want a gain at tops I'd like my name to stay on the towel only tonight and next week to go. I can't undo what's been done if I gain it's no ones fault but mine. And I will account for it.
Tonight is the night we bring a fruit in. The best loser for Jan. gets it. I'm going to go see if there's Kale at the grocery store. They don't always have it. I'll get a print out to put with it on cooking and recipe.
What do I do when I disapear at party's i've even been found sound asleep in a chair in a closet at a Legion dart tournament was so boring. I usualy find a quiet corner and have a quick snooze.
For the lady who said this isn't easy. Anything worth doing isn't easy. So work through it.
So on with a great day today. I must I must do this for no one but me.
Linda C. In Northern Ontario.:huh: brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr0 -

Hello everyone! Just checking in with you guys for a little dose of insparation! I have been trying to keep up with you guys and read (ok, skimmed) most of the post since I was last here. This past week has really been a roller coaster for me. As some of you know, our first grandbaby was born last Thursday :happy: but on Saturday they had to move him to NICU :frown: . He was diagnosed with pneumonia. By Sunday night he was doing better.:happy: Then Monday got here.................they mentioned POSSIBLY having to put him on a feeding tube (he was not feeling well, mom was stressed so breast milk was a little lacking). Poor mom walked in to the NICU to see them putting the tube down his nose!! Bless her heart, she just fell apart! While that was going on, I had to take my dog on his last ride to the vet.:sad: I cried all the way home!! I am happy to report that as of this morning little Caleb is eating above his goal and they will most likely remove the tube today and he should get to go home on Saturday after finishing his antibiotics.
Thru all of this I maintained my weight!!!:happy: This is a huge accomplishment for me as I am a stress eater! I am trying really hard to make this all a life style change and it seems to be sticking!:laugh:
Sundance: My Daughter in law just processed out of the military and is working with retired military dogs. She fosters some while trying to find the right home for them. She has one guy that she adopted herself and has been on 2 Rose Bowl parade floats with him and he has been up for a big service award twice. If you want more info, friend me, I can hook you 2 up. She would be a great resource.
Meg: Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!! After the week I've had, I needed a good laugh. The first post I read while catching up was yours and it was about you getting stuck in your car :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: That is sooooooo something I would do!
Girls (and apparently maybe a couple of guys!) I've got to do some house work. I have either been up at the hospital or a work this past week and believe me when I say this house could use some TLC!
Have a great day!

Hi..I have been reading the posts, and feel like I connect here ! I am almost 56, a yo-yo dieter with a lifelong weight problem. I finally decided ( after gaining back almost all of the weight I lost with MediFast) to change my ways and change the way I look at weight loss. I can't DIET,,,,,I have to do a life change. As long as I DIET I will go off it, cheat or quit. I have to look at this as a total change. My 16 yo son has a weight problem, my hubby has Type II diabetes, and I feel I have contributed. So changes are happening for all of us!
My February goal is to stay at my calorie goal for at least 27 days
I look forward to the support I can get and give !!

Great progress so far Patti and good for you (and your family) for working on a lifestyle change, which is permanent (versus a diet which is temporary). Good luck on your journey!!!!

Good morning ladies,
I can't tell you how much reading all your posts means to me. It makes me laugh...it makes me cry...it keeps me motivated. Thank you all for sharing your personal stories and for your determination to get healthy. I am still working on cleaning out my 2012 files. It feels like a never-ending job and I have so much other stuff I would rather be doing.:grumble: Maintenance isn't as fun as losing the weight because there is no reward on the scale at the end of the week (except no gains). Sometimes I feel so hungry and it know it's my mind playing tricks on me because I am eating more than when I was trying to lose. Logging definitely helps me to stay on track.
:flowerforyou: Robin- I hope you feel better in time for your trip.
:sick: Meg - That "almost" sick feeling seems to be going around lately. Hope it never materializes into something more.
:laugh: Barbie - When I read your post, the song "These boots were made for walkin" came to mind. Mary - It's nice to get recognition for your hard work, isn't it? Helps to get you back on track when you need it.
:drinker: Michele- I love your enthusiasm and dedication. I'm still working on that!
:yawn: Lila - Tylenol PM (Over the counter) usually works for me. Good luck and enjoy your trip.
:devil: Liz - Maybe you should have yourself checked out by a doctor. Your symptoms could be a sign of something more serious. Lori - Thank God your little one is coming home. Mom & Dad must be so relieved! So sorry to hear about your dog. Our pets are family members too, and the loss is always hard. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Well, back to work for me......have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Lucy in Delaware:bigsmile:0 -
Good morning and a very happy Weds to all.
I've been awfully darned busy, stopping by occasionally to read posts and gosh what lot of new faces! How nice! :happy: Just wanted to welcome everyone and mention what a wonderful thing you're all doing by working hard to eat better and get rid of those pounds! :flowerforyou: It's worth every minute that you spend planning what you eat - then of course eating what you plan.
I'm still plugging away at it, still stuck like glue to my "beloved" :grumble: weight of 159, although I'd like to plummet downwards to 150. My body seems so content right where it sits at the moment but for some reason my mind just does not want to agree! Thus goes the battle. I still have some bulge.
Made it to the track yesterday for 30 minutes of fast walk and jogging in 1/4 mile intervals. I'll do yoga this morning, upper body workout with weights, and the "nerd fitness" routine that includes lifting, plank, 10 push ups, 10 squats, 10 lunges and 10 jumping jacks. 3 times through that routine doesn't sound like much, but whew! It's killer. :explode: I'm getting much better at the plank, though, and no longer have a problem with push ups. :bigsmile: Little by little, if we keep at it, we get stronger.
Notes for the week: Need new jeans bad. Plan student music recital. Sow snow peas, celery, early broc indoors under lights. Clean the house. Make chili and low-fat cornbread muffins this morning. Walk dogs as usual, and did I mention clean the house. :ohwell: Keep a happy attitude, eat beans and greens. Keep carbs on the low side. Do not buy any more dark chocolate almond bark, at least until next week. :sad:
Have wonderful day! jb in cloudy but not raining Portland OR 0 -
:flowerforyou: It's hump day!
Katla- glad your hubby is doing okay and that the new scale arrived and shows a loss, congrats:drinker:
Kim in CA- is there something else we eat other than FISH and CHICKEN:noway: Just kidding there really are a lot of things we do eat but those are the main items with a lot of veggies thrown in.
Barbie- thanks for sharing that address for the "older" BMI calculator. It helps to know that at an older age we do need to calculate things a bit differently:flowerforyou: Warm feet for walking that's right up my alley.
Mary in KS- I'm sure that the sore from swimming is a good sore:flowerforyou:
GardenGail- I sure do wish my boss would travel:ohwell:
Sandy in Ohio- Welcome home:flowerforyou:
Meg-hoping you are NOT coming down with another illness:flowerforyou:
Lila- the countdown to your vacation is something I wish I was counting down to. Actually I wish I had a countdown to retirement now that would truly make my week
Linda- you are doing great losing that 52 is awesome and we will be cheering you on for the rest of them:drinker: as you continue to lose.
Liz-hoping you are feeling better today and that the heartburn doesn't return.:drinker:
Jo Wales- I agree that there is no food that I can't eat, it's all in moderation. Sometimes all I need is a bite to get the feeling of "I HAVE to HAVE it" to pass. But I know there are a lot of others that one bite just leads to two, to three, to four...
Linda C- hoping that one pound is just water weight and that you stay at the top on your TOPS board.:flowerforyou:
Lori H- hoping that your DGS is released from the hospital soon:flowerforyou:
jb Portland- I loved your notes for the week. Really gave me a moment to pause and think if I could do something like that...but no my brain won't let me right now:ohwell:
I know I've missed some of you but there's only so much time for me to play with you this morning:bigsmile:
:flowerforyou: Welcome to all the newbies:flowerforyou:
The scale moved for me this AM and that gets me to 3/4 of the way to my goal for this year. It's getting closer to where I will be once again fighting the maintenance monster, but I'm determined to make it this year. Besides I am having less and less back up "big" clothes to fall back on if I were to gain:blushing: So I just won't do that.
I best get moving lots that needs to be done today.
Everyone have a great day. Log that food, log your exercise and log your water:drinker:
:flowerforyou: Here's to the NEW Women we know we can be:flowerforyou:

Lori H: I’m sorry to hear your little grandson has had such a challenging start. He appears to be a fighter, and I’m glad he’ll be going home soon. :bigsmile: You also have my condolences on the loss of your dog. :brokenheart: Sometimes life is overwhelming.
I’m thrilled that the military are now treating their dogs as the soldiers they are, and taking better care of their canine veterans. :bigsmile: Your DIL is doing good work. :flowerforyou: Also glad to hear you‘re maintaining your weight in this time of stress. You seem to be transforming yourself in meaningful ways.:flowerforyou: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou: :bigsmile:
Patti: Back in the day, my mom used to diet using a product called Metrical. It took the pounds off, but they always came back. :grumble: She called it “the battle of the bulge.” :laugh:
This is a great group and MFP is a fabulous resource for a person who wants to lose weight. The tools are here to help a person change. I have been helped a bunch, and this group has been an important part of the it. I’ve learned a lot about eating correctly here and will probably always measure my food, count my calories and my exercise as part of this lifestyle change. We have some folks in this group who have met their goals and still post to encourage the rest of us. They are proof positive that a woman past 50 can transform herself. Welcome!:flowerforyou:
jb: I planted snow peas last year and they took over the world. One of my mistakes was putting too many in a small space. :ohwell: We’d like to grow them again, but we live in a townhouse with a small fringe of land, so placement is everything.:bigsmile:
Laura: Congrats on making the ¾ mark for the year!!!!! Wow.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
I’m feeling optimistic today, just because, and I’m grateful for it. The days when the light is increasing are always good for me, but I don’t always notice and appreciate like I should. DH has a doctor appointment with his endocrinologist, and I’m wondering how that will go. This appointment has been on the schedule for months, and is not part of the stroke treatment. I won’t be surprised if the doctor makes some changes as a result of it, though.
Get your exercise, count your calories in and your calories out, and drink you water.:drinker: :drinker:

I had an off day yesterday... not really sick, but just feeling foggy in my head along with a lot of pain radiating down my right arm from my neck (I've had issues with my trapezial muscles for several months now). I managed to change lanes in front of an oncoming car that I didn't even see. Thank goodness that driver was more alert than I was, so nothing happened.
Today was the first of three days in a row at the VA with my dad. I always try to get appointments on the same day, but couldn't do it this time.
Katia – So glad to read that your husband is home! I’ve always thought those Greek fisherman type of hats the chauffeurs wear on TV were rather fetching – you should get one! :glasses:
Barbie – I had to laugh when I read about your plan to up your weight for your doctor visit next year! I’ve never heard that about bone density or about a different BMI for women over 65. I think that being told I am underweight is one of those impossible dreams – I’m glad I was able to experience it vicariously through you!
Linda Sundance – Glad to see you back on here, and glad you’re enjoying being back at work. The medical system is truly a mess anymore, isn’t it? Are you going to have the CT surgery?
Lila – I hope you have a safe trip and wonderful visit with your daughter! :flowerforyou:
Laura80111 – Good job on the scale moving! (You’re my diet hero). :drinker:
