Thanks for the inspiration, everyone! I'm still puttering along with my low-impact workouts in an effort to limit the damage to my poor overburdened joints... Stressful time for me with lots of grading at the end of the online class I teach and catalog season at my marketing job, but haven't succumbed to strong desire for pizza and wings and still working out every day. Caught a glimpse of how my too-loose jeans are fitting yesterday and realize I could be mistaken for a 40-yr-old woman trying to emulate the teen hip-hop look. No wonder the ladies behind me on the escalator were sniggering. Going to retire the fat jeans... But they're so comfortable!0

Peppermint, go ahead and get yourself a pair of nice, sexy, fitting jeans!!!! Good for you!!!
Gam, take care of that foot. You have inspired me to stop feeling sorry about myself and my leg/foot pain and continue exercising. It will only get worse if I keep eating the way I am and being inactive. Ugh!!!!0 -
Rest day, today. I earned this rest.....six days in a row of workouts has me spent!
What are you gonna do today?0 -

Please can I be a cool kid! I'm 42 and used to be active user on this site about 3 years ago but I had a baby and health went out of the window. My eldest daughter was 7 last week and at her party I heard her talking with a friend about me and she said 'My Mum eats too much cake and sweets, my Dad doesn't'. I felt so ashamed. It is true though..... I have really neglected myself (weight and looks) in the last 3 years. I was trying to ignore it but the truth is I even avoid being in photos with my kids due to my stomach. I can hardly look at a photo of me as I feel ashamed. But that shame somehow doesn't stop me eating. However, my daughters comment has really hit home so I'm back and I am going to change and it would be great to have this forum as support and to support others. ;-)1

Got my lifting done.

LEGS=DONE! no pain in the ankle! NADA! it did feel "tired" though, like it was still home in bed. I had to concentrate on digging the heel into the floor and keeping the ankle straight, otherwise it felt like it might roll out on me again. I went a little slower today, but I did more weight...even on calf raises! no pistol squats though.0

Hi all. Time to get back on the horse. I got laid off in September and had some other things going on. Glad to be back. Weight is up and I need to halt that.0

I was laid off a year ago....then found work jan - may, but have been out of work since that time.
