    I asked the on-line NHS service and they recommended these exercises:

    I really understand that long term pain, but I'm sure that losing weight and determination will get you through this. xxx

    I don't really "worry" anymore - getting too old for that. I just pray a lot. :)

    This week I am praying for healing of my achilles tendonitis which makes walking so painful. It's hard to get any exercise when every step is like being stabbed in the back of the foot with a knife. If anyone has experienced this and has suggestions please let me know. I've tried ice, heat, stretching, compression socks, Icy Hot... I have a tendency to get these kinds of inflammations which I am sure is due to the extra weight I carry. I never thought I would get to the point of wishing I had never taken the simple act of walking for granted.

    Slider678 - My favorite exercise is also walking my dogs (two corgis). They are missing our long rambles since I am just hobbling around the block these days.

    @tensquared_lives, so sorry you're dealing with that. I have plantar fasciitis and that's rough, but what you're dealing with is horrible. My friend had to have surgery on his. Hope you see some improvement soon.

    I'm in my 50s for a few more months - does membership expire after that? :p

    Hey folks, hope everyone has had a great day - I started 2 years ago to lose 24lbs, did it and life happened and I made bad choices that tasted so good lol. I never really quit, but am absolutely rededicating myself to losing that last 10lbs all over again.

    Nice to see a thread for older folks :)

    Hey Joe, Welcome.

    Hope you had a great day Slider... good luck with the clients this week. I got out of having dinner with my mom. A bit mean spirited on my behalf but didn't feel like going out tonight. Just felt like cooking at home and a comfy night at home...in bed. working on clean-up the house and get my steps in. Cooking awesome dinner for the family and working dinner into what i have left for the evening to stay on track. NO WINE TONIGHT!

    I have GOT to get my grazing under control. I am going to schedule a morning and afternoon snack time, just like you do with little kids. 😂

    What snacks do you like to graze on?

    @mountaintopmom, that's what worked for me to help with my grazing. I set a 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. snack on my diary.

    @tensquaredlives You might try taking some turmeric and/or ginger supplements, they help with inflammation. I take them for some chronic pain issues and it helps. Hope you can find something that helps!

    @Sparkle1098 ... my favorite on the go snack under 100 cal is Vermont Smoke and Cure turkey sticks - about 70 cal, 8 or 10g of protein depending on flavor.

    Just picked up our foster pup Ollie. His teeth were horrible and he had to have 30 extracted. I was just sick about how his health has been neglected. I feel so bad for him. He ate as soon as we were home. I smashed up a hard-boiled egg and gave him his kibble soaked in warm water. He ate it all. Got a pain pill and an antibiotic in him too. He's sleeping on the floor by my feet. I got the evil eye a couple of times. I tried to explain I didn't cause this to happen. o:) Hope you all have a fantastic evening!

    that is so sad...I hope he gets the care he needs.
