The only way I got rid of my knee pain from high impact exercise was a foam roller. Absolutely nothing else helped. I had pain so bad I almost took left over narcotic pain killers leftover from my surgery in November. Stairs were excruciating, especially carrying a toddler. And since the only way to get to our car is to go…

Same here. I'm still trying to retrain myself to eat healthier but my diary is open to friends.

Feel free to add me. I'm 24, almost 25, and mom to a beautiful 13 month old girl. She keeps me on my toes and as soon as it warms up enough for me to get the jogging stroller out with her I will!

You can friend me!

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't use workout supplements.

Thanks so, so much to everyone that suggested the foam roller! Absolutely frikken wonderful and worth it! My knees don't hurt at all anymore! I just have a little bit of normal soreness from working out yesterday!

I definitely expect to be sore. I've been sore. I was active in high school and the beginning of college but asthma knocked me out of doing much more than walking or swimming. This goes so far beyond the typical soreness of exercising after a long hiatus. It feels more like a deep bruise to the bone/when I tore the…

Thanks for all the replies! I'll check out the foam roller. I read that blog and it sounds so similar to me! Which is funny because I have done any running! Anyway, I did finally manage some relief. Not a ton, but enough that I can run errands without feeling like my legs will give out at the end of the day. I ended up…

I use fitbit as well! Email is ambear060912@gmail.com

Diet soda can actually cause weight gain. It's the aspartame. When I was underweight in high school, I drank diet soda every day for a month and gained 10 pounds.

1. Always weigh in at the same time and under the same conditions every time you weigh. For me this is first thing in the morning. I use the toilet, strip and weigh. The scale is in front of the toilet so I don't forget. It doesn't matter what time I get up, so long as I drink or eat absolutely nothing prior to stepping on…

I had mine out in november. The worst pain wasn't the surgery incisions. It was the trapped gas that migrated to the shoulder strap area. It hurt so damn bad I couldn't stand walking. After 3 days it dissipated and I was back to my old self for the most part. Hell, day 4 I went to the mall and lunch! After the first day, I…

Go ahead and add me!

I definitely need an accountability buddy! I love, love, love Dr. Pepper. It is the reason I am having trouble with this last 15 lbs. So I definitely need someone who will help keep me from going overboard with the soda.
