    I'm so glad surgery went well. I was wondering if you found a ride. Stick with it, and us, and you'll make it!

    Set up your stats in MFP and see what it gives you for calories. Get a food scale and weigh and log all your food.
    i changed the calories it seemed high to me, i set it at 2500.

    MFP does over estimate in my opinon. 2500 should be plenty, I think. And at your weight you will probably lose really fast. :) If you can, try adding a little exercise, even if it's seated! If standing is an issue even stretching for a half hr while you watch tv or toe touches, etc can be better than not moving at all.

    Do you have a YMCA near you that has a gym, pool and/or exercise classes? Y's typically offer substantial subsidies for membership and activities based on an individual's/family's income. Subsidies are easy to apply for and are confidential.

    There is a y near but unfortunately my family makes to much to get the subsidizes. Iv looking in to that in the past

    The Y is a good choice if you want to swim, which may be good for you. But it's summer and getting out to walk would do wonders for you. That plus some bodyweight exercises could do until fall when it starts getting too cold or rainy. I didn't join the Y until I couldn't run outside (too much smoke from local and not local fires) and am thinking of putting it on pause for the summer.

    I find my self needing a little kick in the butt most days but i got to step this up even if it kills me

    I know how you feel I had to kick myself in the rear today to get a workout in. I got in 2 -20 min workouts for the first time in over a year. it was worth it for me. I was in a slump.if I can dig myself out of the slump so can you.

    We all need a swift kick sometimes! Here's some advice that I used to ignore (being an introvert), but try to find a group or another person to exercise with. Maybe join a Meetup walking group in your area. I found it easy to skip exercise when nobody was holding me accountable. Then I joined a women's fit camp group at my daughter's taekwondo studio, and working out with other people has made all the difference. The coach doesn't let us give up on ourselves. I hope you can find a walking buddy, it's definitely more fun when you have someone to chat with! Good luck.

    Have you set mini-goals for yourself, @bjcrewe? I find that helps me quite a bit.

    My mini-goals for today are:

    Log all my food, no matter what.
    Do my hip stretches.
    Go for a walk on my work breaks.

    My mini-goals for today are:

    Log all my food, no matter what. - I didn't log my peas at dinner, but even adding them I was still within calories.
    Do my hip stretches. - I did them twice. I'm supposed to do 4 per day.
    Go for a walk on my work breaks. - Check

    Maybe you should give it a shot, @bjcrewe.

    Mini-goals for 5/8

    Log all my food.
    Get 12K steps.
    Do my hip stretches.
