Joyce - NP said my pain in my legs is trochanteric bursitis and gave me a script for Prednisone. I really don't think it will work, Dr has had me on it before. I have had the pain you are describing for a very long time. Dr. gave me cortisone shots which did nothing. After enough complaining finally switched my mobic to…

Hey everyone. Just Checking In. It's 2:20 in the afternoon and i feel like I am ready for a nap. Deciding on whether to take my 15 minute work break reading or walking. I'd rather be sleeping. I think I'm doing pretty well with my diet and exercise. I have been keeping up the 6 days a week at the gym and logging into MFP.…

Katla Thanks for the suggestion of the recumbent bike. I have tried one in the past and I can't get my heart rate up high enough without increasing the tension which really hurts my knees. I choose the elliptical because it is my fave machine at the gym even with my aches and pains. Next fave is the rowing machine which…

Good morning Now with nicer weather it's a good time to walk outside during break time at work. I used to never take my breaks until I decided I would really like to take mini walks. Walking around my building 4 times a day gets me an extra mile of walking. It is however hard on my sciatica problem and bad knee, but I feel…

Good morning! TGIF I had off yesterday because of the snow. Despite doing 2 hours of snow shoveling and 30 minutes on the stationary bike I had a rough day. It seems whenever I have a day to myself at home I am looking for things to eat. I think because I am bored. I get things accomplished with housework and what not, but…

Good morning, Another day - another work out - another day of accounting for calories. Reading everyone's posts help me to stay on my journey. One of my goals is to be lifting heavier weights. The trick is to be consistent - 3 days a week doing weights - and slowly increasing over time. More snow in the forecast for…

Good afternoon everyone, Thank you for the support. Managing to stay on both my new exercise regimen and accounting for calories. Lemon water really goes a long way to satisfy snack attack feelings. Trying to hold off to 3:00 to get my apple snack. So far so good. I love some of the encouraging quotes and the poems. They…

Good morning I am new to this thread and am excited about being here. I am 54 years old and have lost at least a thousand pounds over my life and am still in the same overweight boat. I have recently adopted a lot of new strategies. I know your supposed to weigh yourself for My Fitness Pal, but I cannot do that. I have…

I am 54 and ready to lose weight and get healthy AGAIN. I've probably lost a thousand pounds in my lifetime and keep gaining it back. I am starting this one with a new attitude. I've always gone to the gym but always had a million excuses not to go. My new attitude will be to do the most I can do at the gym; not the least.…
