  • I'm having knee replacement surgery in August. I knew it would be an easier recovery if I lost weight. I've learned not to quit, that plateaus happen, but if you keep at it, you'll soon be losing again.
  • Also, the laxative might kick in at the event tonight.
  • No suggestions, but following. I'd love some recipes.
  • I second going to an athletic shoe store to be fitted. I run 5 miles a day (weekdays) and wear a men's Saucony due to the larger toe box. I love them and have been wearing Saucony for years. Once you've been fitted for your first pair you can then shop online sales. Amazon has pretty good prices at certain times of the…

I was eating exactly the same and getting the same amount of exercise but gaining weight like a freight train. When I switched medications, the weight…

  • I don't like anything on my wrist so I bought a Fitbit Zip after having a Jawbone UP24. Love the Zip. It runs on a battery so I never have to charge it and syncs automatically to MFP and the Fitbit website. I clip it to my shoe or sock or bra and forget about it. The Zip doens't track sleep, etc. just steps, which is…
