I'm 5 2 and currently at 178lbs 41% BF according to the PT. I want to get down to 135lbs and under 30% BF

In Ontario too :) North of brampton

yup... like a hand stick blender

feel free to add me then u can view my diary. I do agree that it does offer different meal ideas

Well my fiber is coming in under. I don't know if it's because I have cut out a lot of breads and the like. I eat steel cut oats most mornings and some days sweet potatoes...

lol Chunky_pinup... I was thinking the same thing. I will be cooking up a plate of singledom... Maybe have pizza as I haven't had pizza in weeks although it will depend if i'm back on my feet to exercise that day for the extra calories. Carbs are too awesome lol

I love roasted sweet potatoes. Cut them up into chunks, toss with spices and a little bit of oil and bake till soft.

No medical reason I was just going by what MFP lists.

single mom of an 11 and 17yr old girls. I work full time and have just joined the gym 2 weeks ago. as far as my week i have had better. I tweaked a back muscle and woke up with spasms tues. its doing better today bu i haven't been able to exercise so trying to stay within my calories. oh and im a canadian ;) we got snow…

Well the difference for me is that diets deprive u of what u crave causing a crash. making healthier eating choices including a small portion of what u crave is a lifestyle change i like the 80/20 rule. 80% of the time eat healthy and 20% have that cookie or fancy coffee in moderation. now weight loss is not as fast this…

I am ;) feel free to add me. i have an open diary and log every day

it's a great idea. you are right with success. weekly weigh ins and meet ups support more then doing it on your own. this is why i like this site.

add me too

I log everything i eat right now. feel free to add me if you have an open diary too

Hi all ;) I'm a 36yr old working mom of 2 girls (11 and 17). I am finally taking time for myself which includes losing weight and getting healthy. feel free to add me. been on here since jan 18th

is the krill oil like omega 3s?

what other supplements?

how can I make sure I'm getting those minerals? a supplement?

glad to see I'm not alone in this. It's discouraging when u are trying to get healthy and the body is fighting the process.

I despise needles lol I tried acupuncture 2 times for other issues and that was pushing myself outside my comfort zone lol this morning the spasms have stopped. i do feel like I've been repeatedly punched in the back but i can move a little better.

well the other chiro that i go to when needed uses the tens to loosen muscles. then she works the muscles before adjusting. im.usually there 45min.

so dr said I tweaked the muscle. gave me inflammatories and muscle relaxers. said it should calm it down in a few days then i should go for a massage. she didn't feel it was the exercises on the machines i did sunday as she said i would have felt the pain then. she said don't give up on exercise lol I have lost 6lbs since…

never had disc issues. have had muscle issues, previous lower back spasms. i was seeing a chiro for a few yrs. but stopped that one cuz i felt it did more bad (didn't seem normal to take 2min for an adjustment and have to.go once a week or more). i do have another chiro and she does muscle work incl tens machine before an…

I have seen a chiropractor in the past forlower back pain.years ago i had lower back spasms and went to a chiropractic dr. this spasm is on right side middle back

i made a dr apt for tonight. This sucks. I didn't overdue sundays workout. did my warm up then strength training and cardio. i did stretch after. yesterday my arms were a bit sore (biceps etc) this morning nothing was bugging me and boom spasms... feels like I've been kicked in the back lol

I have osteoarthritis in my knees as of age 34 so I will have to check out that link. I want to run but it does bother my knees. I was told by the PT to wait on running until I build more muscle strength. I also have tennis elbow which makes things hard. So which supplements do you take?

Morning :) I am on my way to 40 (eek) and want to get healthier before then.

my suggestion is to make sure to find time for yourself. :)

I am right there with you. I was a young mom with my first and gained some and just never took it off. After my second which was 6yrs later my highest weight was over 200lbs. I have since lost some but i'm still in the high range and want to lose about 40lbs as my first goal while toning up. I will add u so we can keep…

I have been there and it does get easier. i did lose some weight after him but was starting to put some back on (emotional eater) and this time i have incorporated exercise. i am doing this for me. it just hit 5yrs last week when I left him. i feel good though. i no longer feel sorry for him or feel responsible for what he…
