There was a similar question in the Success Stores thread a week or so ago, with lots of helpful replies and successes. It was titled: "Weight loss and less back pain?" and if you search using that, you will be able to read more positive examples of how it helps.

From my experience, shedding weight definitely helps with reducing back pain. I have spinal stenosis caused by cracks in the L4 and L5 and compression of the disk in between, along with arthritis all along the spine. The pressure on the spinal cord used to cause searing pain down both legs. Getting rid of close to 30…

Unless of course you say "Morgan Freeman" first. Then everyone will ready like they were a character in Shawshank Redemption.

I was public educated, in DOD schools, so I don't count so good. 5th it is.

Could it be that the OP just left a "t" out of the 4th word?

My older Charge HR is accurate. HR is consistent with manual measuring HR, steps are very near accurate (when I count them in my head while walking, they are close), Distance is now very accurate for both walking and running (not that I run a lot - spinal stenosis makes it painful after a little while). But distance is…

Great progress! Stay with it!

Small goals are what got me started and help me continue. I make my bed every morning. Read this: https://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/why-you-should-make-your-bed-every-morning/

Makes me think of: Mal: Just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tight Pants

Fantastic! I read these threads for motivation to keep going, and you are my hero for today. One of the quotes I have on my wall at home and in my office is the "A year from now you will wish you had started today" and you exemplify that sentiment! Great work!!

Well, when someone gives you a bottle, it would not be polite to say "No thanks. Next time make it a six pack of Ugly Pug or Rhar's Red from the Rhar brewery in Ft. Worth." I just take it and figure out creative ways to use Merlot.

"Leftover alcohol" = not partying hard enough.

Thanks! I find that if I read a few success stories before I leave work each day that I am more inclined to get home, change clothes, and take the evening walk. Thank you for pulling these together.

The real truth of it though, is that they will go away. A person just has to have the commitment necessary to follow through ^^^ This. It took a loss of 25 pounds (204 to 179) before could really tell that the "moobs" were going away. Shirts just seemed to fit better at that point. No pics - who would want to see an old…

Hey, my Mom had a book of his poems and I used to read it growing up. Thanks for the memories. My mini goal is to hit 177 by the end of July, to be able to continue to be on track to my overall goal of hitting 164 - the weight I was when I left the Army over 20 years ago.

Great posts and advice. I have been following the "Work on distance, the speed will come naturally" philosophy and have been able to increase speed over time as I added more distance. One other thing that really helped was looking at some YouTube videos to learn proper form, and asking people whom looked like experienced…

From my Boy Scout days: A pint's a pound the world around. A pint of water weighs about a pound. So, if you did not processes any of it (all in, no "out"), you would would gain 8 pounds drinking a gallon of water. You can test this by weighing yourself, drink a pint and quickly weigh again. My scale shows a pound…

Wow. You really stopped this thread quick with that one!

heck yeah! met my second, third, and fifth wife on MFP.

Glad I could help out. Always try to keep the young girls happy - and Candy Is Dandy.

Failing isn't falling down, it's not getting back up.

Here is how I look at it: My scale at home is the baseline from which I measure my progress. It is what I use to compare today with yesterday. If I weigh more (or less) on another scale it does not bother me. If I weigh myself consistently on that other scale, I may see "different" numbers for today and yesterday, but the…

From my Boy Scout days: "A pint's a pound the world" meaning that a pint of water weighs about a pound. If I weigh in after an 8 mile hike on a hot day, I can easily be down a couple of pounds. If I drink two bottles of water, I can be up 2 pounds.
