I agree with 'poisonesse', you need to change doctors. If your doctor knows you well enough that s/he knew you would do the exact opposite of what s/he recommended (based on your previous history) that doctor may have been challenging you. If this is not the case, you need to find a new doctor. If this was a legit…

I hit Onederland last month!! Now my next goal is to go from 'Obese' to 'Overweight'...I am 4.7 lbs away!! 😉

I tore my meniscus in 2016, had a crap surgeon "fix" it and have not been able to exercise since. Ended up packing on the pounds and doing lots of emotional eating! Not the best example for my kiddo to see 🙄 I am now working on getting my knee repaired and being healthy. But I know there will be many days that will feel…

The sound of my hubby and son laughing today! They are my inspiration for getting healthy - so I can greedily have more time with them :smiley:

I am starting over as well. Hurt myself and managed to gain a bunch of weight. Feel free to add me if you would like additional support. Cheers! :)

I just posted about this - so I will just copy and paste ;) If you haven't already entered your body measurements I highly recommend that you do. Get a Myotape (https://www.amazon.com/AccuFitness-MT05-MyoTape-Body-Measure/dp/B000G7YW7Y) - it makes it easy. Unlike weight - these you will only want to do once a month or so.…

The old you is gone - let her go. It's time for the NEW you to shine - bet you will like her better!! :smiley:

My mom died due to diabetes in 2011. Then in 2015, I was putting on my deodorant and that my armpits were fat. I started tracking with MFP and exercising and was doing great - until I tore my meniscus and had surgery. Last week I was getting dressed and noticed my armpits were fat again and my tummy is the biggest it's…

Check out the Sneaky Chef cookbooks - these may help you with your veggie aversion. Using these worked great with my nephews. Check them out :)

Currently it's Ben & Jerry's One Love - which is seriously food crack in a pint for me ;)

Putting deodorant on and realizing how fat my armpits were! It's crazy how sometimes something so silly will light a flame under your butt to do better. I mean, seriously, you would think my huge butt and/or thighs would have been the catalyst ;-)

Thanks for posting this! I have been linking my MFP friends to this when they get hung up on what the scale is telling them. This is a great post to show why it's important to track your measurements as well. Sláinte to your continued success :smile:

Love your enthusiasm! I'm 45 and have 48 to go!

Check out Barre3 workouts. There are a few on YouTube for free. It's a combo of yoga/ballet/pilates. Low to no impact with modifications for those with health issues - but it will make your muscles hum for a an hour or two after your workout. You can also get a free 15 day trial at http://www.barre3.com/onlinefreetrial/…

Raw Kombucha tea is fizzy and has probiotics (similar to yogurt). I really enjoy GT's Enlightened brand (though some of the claims on the label are not accurate). Here is a great article on some of the benefits: http://www.phoenixhelix.com/2013/03/25/kombucha-myths-vs-truths/

Two Eggo waffles (plain and only 2g sugar) and coffee - or a Pumpkin Muffin (from the Crabby Chef cookbook) - and some berries.

After two weeks of doing MFP I cancelled my WW online membership. I was paying $19 per month - and MFP is so much better. I always found the points annoying and kind of a pain in the butt. Don't miss WW at all.

Welcome - and I think you will find this is a great place! You already took the biggest step with logging on and being accountable!

I look at the toppings the pizza joint is using - then use a Round Table Pizza with similar toppings - and I use the extra large size (we order medium size so it's gone with no tempting leftovers) just to keep me honest!

Here is MFP's explanation: https://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/11170-why-don-t-you-calculate-calories-burned-for-strength-training- Hope this helps.

Rainbow Light Women's Organic Multivitamin and Rainbow Light Calcium Citrate Minitabs.

Every Tuesday. Though the number on the scale is important - I am more focused on changing my habits with food and exercise. Once a week is a nice reminder of the benefit of eating healthier and being more active :smile:

I said "no thank you" to a fresh Huckleberry Shake (I luuuuuuuuv these!) - and had a glass of Coo Coo Cachoo from Caboost Kombucha instead!! 60 some calories vs nearly 500 - very happy with that choice :smiley:

Cinnamon with a dash of almond milk is quite lovely :smile:

Have you tried Barre3? I was lucky and stumbled on it on a food blog. It looks easy - but it is a burner (seriously, my body hums for a couple of hours afterwards). There are a couple of workouts on Youtube you can try for free. Here is a link for a free 15 day trial that gives you access to over a hundred work outs:…

If you can look past the heavy amount of cussing check out WWW.THUGKITCHEN.COM - yummy and filling recipes! For great Indian food check out WWW.VEGANRICHA.COM - lovely woman with killer recipes! For great meals and desserts check out Post Punk Kitchen at WWW.THEPPK.COM - her muffin recipes are soooo good!

Watching these doesn't hurt - but as I found when I posted about watching Fed Up - there is always another side to the coin. The responses I received that gave me more information were a great help and added to the big picture. Those that just discounted everything about the movie - well, not so much. Use the information…

My sister never learned to cook. Once tried to reheat a pizza - while it was still in the box! One of the things I turned her on to is PBS Create TV - lots of great cooking shows that show lots of basics! Kevin Dundon's Back To Basics is a really good one! It really helps to watch them first to get the gist and help you…
