SusanSJD, I recently injured my knees and gained at least 25 pounds on top of the 30 I had gained having other health issues! I have been rehabbing my knees since about March. Injury occurred last December. That along with a few other pretty big injuries has definitely changed how I do things! Lol! Yes, I was over active and stubborn when I was a bit younger! Lol! I am currently able to do Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred daily ( on day 10!!!!! ) as long as I modify!!! It has been a long uphill climb. Back in December I had to ride around the store in in one of those little electric go carts and it drive me bonkers! I couldn't walk or take kids to school , nada! Grateful that our bodies are so amazing! Being still feels un- natural to me. I believe our whole physical structure was made for movement. I am in awe of what the human body can do! We can do this my friend! Yes, we absolutely can! The way I see it, I've recovered from much worse injuries and no one ( including the doctors) can tell me I can't One step at a time. One day at a time. Be kind to you. It takes time. Glad you are here!0

I'm 29. I've been on my weight loss journey since February of 2012. Although I have lost a lot of weight I never reached my goal weight. Since winter I have slowly packed on more pounds. A lot of it had to do w/ the season, holidays and the unexpected death of my mother. I recently got married in March 2013 & since then I've gained 8 more pounds =( Our wedding reception is this August and I would really like to be at my goal weight by then. I am determined to look amazing in my dress this time instead of just ok.
I find this process to be easier w/ the motivation of others pushing me along! So please add me as a friend!!0 -
Hi. My name is Elise. I am 25 years old. I have been trying to lose ten pounds for about two months (to look better in a swimsuit) and the scale has actually tipped in the wrong direction. Now I have to lose fifteen pounds. So, I thought it would be helpful to find a group of people to talk to about my struggles with. Hopefully this helps.0

In response to SusanSJD - not nursing an injury but I will be turning 47 this year and have definitely had to cut back on my activity level due to joint pain : ( I heard someone recently describe their aches as cumulative and I feel like that describes me - I used to do a lot of running and high impact everything and have to do low impact everything right now...makes it much harder to burn those calories : (
suggestion to the group - wondering if we could start a different topic each day for our daily check-in - just to make it easier to read through everyone's comments...I'm thinking maybe first person to check in for the day starts a new thread with the date on it??0 -
Thats a really good idea0

Hi Guys,
I'm Yazmin from Malaysia, just started MFP religiously 20 days ago. Was esthetic when I slowly lost 2 lbs but my weight has been fluctuating and now I'm getting a little discouraged. So here I am, hoping we can all motivate each other to burn off those fat! Now I need to lose around 30lbs...doctor's orders and who am I kidding I WANT THIS TOO. Want to feel good and thankfully, the past 20 days of keeping active has made me feel very guilty whenever I skip those sweat drenching days.
So lets start some sort of weekly challenge to push each other and commit ourselves to burn some calories together! What say you?0 -
Hi everyone,

Anyone else jealous of all those tall people who can eat more calories, or is that just me?!0 -

That is almost identical to my story! I lost almost 30 pounds about 3 years ago and maintained it for almost 2 years. My last year of grad school kicked my butt and I gained almost all of back! I'm now getting back into the game with the goal of losing 50 pounds.0
