I have now been quite since 2018 after smoking for about 44 years.I would quite for 8-10 months and something would happen and back I’d go.Really quite this time.No cigarette will go near these lips.Do feel better,am very happy to be free after freaking 44 years of tobacco addition

Hi ,My name is Michelle.I’m 64, I once lost about 80 lbs with MFP.I then had a knee and 2 hips replaced. My husband had a triple bypass and all kinds of stuff.CoVid did not help. I got hurt and busy with life.I lost my way within these challenges and want to get back.I have started with water aerobics and Tai Chi.Want to…

That was a nice thing for your Dad to say

Hi I'm about to have my second hip done.Had planned to do it in August but my femur fractured 19 days post op.Wt gain has been an even bigger issue.I have gained back about 35 lbs as I can't exercise.I also quite smoking 6 months ago .The Dr.wanted me to stop working but that is impossible so he told me to stay put when I…

I'm sorry times are tough right now but just take it 1 day and 1 lb at a time ,you are going in the right direction

It's actually good to increase calorie intKe by 500 calories over prepregnancy caloric intake ,it's easy to have a decreased milk supply if you cut your calorie intake and it goes too low.I am a lactation consultant and really do see drops in production with actual dieting,just use cautionThank you for Breastfeeding

Today is the first day of the rest of our lives

Has anybody see any videos from say Fitness Magazines that show different band workouts

I am really feeling more empowered from the healthy eating and am really wanting to quite smoking as those are my two addiction,food and cigs.I am 41 lbs down but still have 90 to go.Its just 1 more way of being free.I do want to line up a quite buddy or find a place I can vent.Id appreciate it if someone could put me on…

Try L-arginine it's a natural anti inflammatory but does not hurt your stomache.I hear this wholistic. Dr talking about it on Dr oz.Look it up.He took it and that says a lot.He said it helped cut down all inflammation in the body,even in your blood vessels.He said inflation was at the background of most of what ales us.

One woman wrote that coconut oil and fish oil really helped her.I already take Lrill oil so today when I was at SAMs club I found coconut oil gel caps and added that to my regime .I am also struggling with pain in my thigh muscles.I am doing bridges,leg lifts,standing from a sitting position.I just feel like I need to do…

That's the thing for me.I would like to walk but with my knee being bone on bone it's not worth the pain

Hi all.I consider this year to be the year I am starting to take care of me.I started in Oct and have lost 30 lbs.One of my biggest issues is that I am a nurse and a caretaker by nature.My husband was permanently disabled by cancer when our kids were 3,5,and 11.He was paralyzed for a year ,he was able to walk again but not…

Merry Christmas to all.Trying not to gain wt over holiday.Logging all my food has helped me to stay on track,exercised yesterday and will today too.Next year will have a grand baby at Christmas as my youngest is very pregnant right now .Im looking forward to baby Elias. Arrival. May you have a blessed day as we celebrate…

I am stuck at 225 over the Holidays.I had see 223.5 on my scale the one day it it could of been water wt loss.I have really been very careful so I guess I am a little disappointed but at least I'm not going up so I will be happy with that for now.How are you folks doing?

Hi all,I saw the post of the one person who lost 168 lbs,awesome,.I have been so careful this Holiday to stay away from the goodiesMy. Nieghbor gave me a big bag of Gheradeli chocolates and I think I am going to regift it to a skinny person I know who loves chocolate.I would not mind having 1or 2 pieces but not a whole…

Why do you use Coconut oil?Its amazing how different the meds are in the US vs Canada.I tried Naprocin and Mobic and niether worked at all.Inuprofin help,it does not take it away but it makes it about 50% better so I can work.Thats why I'm open to suggestions

I do take krill oil,vit d ,gelatin capsules,and Bio-Flex and L-arginine which is a natural anti-infalamatory.I also use Capsiacin patch on my knee on my work days.I am trying different things to see what works best

I have bone on bone arthritis in my knee and on cold stormy days like today it kills me.I also work full time as a nurse and it's hard physically to do itI have never heard of this voltarin,what is it and is it over the counter.I use Salinpas Capsiacin patches on my knee on work days.It confuses the nerve endings so the…

That is so awesome.Now that takes perceverence.Good tips.That gives me hope

A doctor told me that slow wt loss achieved by lifestyle change and not dieting was really more lasting.Thats what I am trying to accomplish.Slow but steady for this little turtle

That's awesome.I have another 90 lbs to go and I am excited about this journey.It almost fees like a rebirth as I do the work and see the results.I didn't know if I could do it but I feel more confident each day

Well Busybee I did my company Xmas party and I really did try to watch what I ate,1 teaspoon of mashed potatoes,no bread, but they had prime rib.I left about a quarter of it on my plate but still went over on my calories.They had that rhocca toffee candy which I love but never buy and I had 4 pieces.I was careful it could…
