I have sciatic nerve issues due to scoliosis and arthritis in my lower back. An excellent Physical Therapist has been like a golden ticket for me! It is the slower route but has yielded the most long-lasting results. Don't be afraid to try a few PT's. It is important to find one who "gets it" and connects with your style.…

Nicely done! I am also a big believer that slow & steady wins the race. Your changes in lifestyle sound sustainable which is so important. Great seeing your story as I am doing it slowly but steadily as well but am just this week at 57 percent of my goal.

I have found that it gets easier, but I don't think that has been out of pure will power like you are describing. Here are things I believe helped me get to a point of not thinking about & craving all the time: 1) concentrating on small changes, pick two things to change each week recognizing that you want to take this one…

Love that this is a personal best challenge as the 10,000 per day is too much for me at this point. Thanks for keeping this thread encouraging us to keep moving! Sat, 4/1= 6,700 Sun, 4/2= 9,100 "No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch."

Can I be the "old lady" in the bunch in my early 50's? Ha ha! After knee replacement almost 3 years ago I lost the first 18 pounds... then put it back on. Successfully lost the 18 again as of last week with my 4 month efforts! This time I have done it with many small sustainable changes including moving to a significant…

Great job getting started! Yes, you can even log your coffee in the diary. Just type "coffee" in the search field and select the one that best describes how you drink it. Remember to use a separate line item in the diary for anything you add to it, like sugar. I admire your enthusiasm and wealth of ideas

Great job deciding to start! I suggest starting with just two small, measurable, attainable food related goals. My first two goals when starting were: 1) Enter everything you eat into the MFP Diary with absolute honesty for seven days just to give yourself a baseline and some insight into areas you can improve. 2) Eat one…

So excited for your progress Dianakop72! No matter what that "your bmi" packet says, you are doing great. Progress not perfection. I admire your inner resolve.

Don't remember where I heard this quote, but it is a favorite of mine... "Exercise is not a punishment for what you ate - it is a celebration of what your body can do!" ... This mindset has really helped me. I would also say to keep trying new forms of cardio until you find ones that feel more like celebration and realize…
