    Hi Everyone!! I'd like to join this group too. I am turning 50 this year and I want to get in the best shape possible for the next phase of my life. I've been using MFP since the first week of January. SW: 209
    CW: 203
    GW: 170ish
    I've started exercising too but my feet hurt so badly that I can't walk! I have plantar fasiaitis (sp?) & heel spurs. I've been on this roller coaster for years but never joined a support group....until now! I am excited to make this journey with all of you.
    Good Luck to Everyone!!

    Swimming or aquafit classes might be more tolerable for your feet. If you don't swim it is never too late to take lessons.

    Wow spin really kicked my butt today! But now it was worth it but I need to figure out what I did wrong today which caused me to be sick after working out. Not a good move!

    Hope everyone had a great day! Just finished cooking dinner tonight and lunch for tomorrow. I also added my birthday to the birthday thread =)

    Jennifer- Good for you for making good food choices at lunch. One day at a time!!!

    Connie thanks for the encouragement. I did feel like I had lost but I let those scales discourage me.

    Shirley thanks for your comment. I will try to shake things up a bit. I will try to cut back on carbs too.

    Went to Sports Medicine Doctor today for knee issues and he said I had a meniscus problem. Said no treadmill, stairs, squatting, etc. but I can ride a bike and swim. Surely didn't want to hear no treadmill. I can just see this 70y/o in a swim suit at a gym (what a sight that would be)!!!
    Hope your Monday has been good.

    Nancy...when you go to the water aerobics at the pool, you will be amazed at the range of ages and body types there! It took a lot of courage for me to put on a suit and actually take the towel from around my body the first time I went. I soon realized that we were all there for the same reason...exercise. I have since taken refresher swim lessons so that I could swim laps before or after class. You can do it, and I promise you will enjoy it, especially if you have a good instructor.

    Hi Jodi, I also have plantar fasciitis. I have found that icing and doing the runners stretch both before and after exercise helps some. I ended up going to a podiatrist and getting shots in my foot. Good luck to you I have been there too.

    Well, I didn't stick to my eating plan as well as I could have today...not horribly bad. I WILL do better tomorrow! I plan to weigh once a week...so a few more days to go.

    Haha thank you! Spin is really challenging but it 's a lot of fun as well! It makes me work out much harder than I would if I was just running on my own because the trainer really pushes you!

    Today and my boyfriend and my 7th year together so we're going to go to the cinema so no workout today. I must make sure to bring some diet friendly (and budget friendly) snacks to the cinema with me!

    I hope everyone has a great Tuesday! =)
