I would also recommend a orthopedist. Depending on the bone & tissue & how much work it does bearing weight it can take awhile to heal correctly.. I had 2-3 different walking casts when my feet were injured. Remember the RICE (rest, ice, compression & elevation) Good luck & take it easy!

I second the he might not even know. The cost of good quality lean ground beef has gone up so much....I can't remember the last time I bought it. I've been using Jennie-O 93/7 ground turkey for about the past yr; the only real difference is in color. I've found that if you add some beef soup base or A-1 steak sauce or…

bump for later. Anyone have a good recipe for making oatmeal?

I agree Yogi's Sweet Chili pepper tea does warm you up. Also I like decaf teas the best. Celestial Seasonings has a tension tamer that is my fav & a new Honey Vanilla Chamomile (I've already gone through 2 boxes!) Celestial Seasonings & Bigelow has a few tea sampler boxes out there so you can try a few. I don't like…

My kids LOVE, LOVE frozen peas still frozen. They are a lot sweeter than when heated. I snack on them when I'm cooking. my go to snacks are popcorn with no butter, yogurt with frozen berries, apples. I'll be watching this thread for other suggestions

Hi, I'm Cheryl. I live in the Columbus area. I'm married with 2 kids (first grader & 4yo). I'm currently staying at home--or what I call stuck at home; we only have one car & the new school schedule makes it next to impossible to get DH to work on time. I haven't exercised in a L O N G time but am starting slow with some…

I'm also losing slow, but it IS hard when you see all the challenges like that. Glad to see others are in the same boat, hope it keeps me motivated

it sounds like your husband likes to compliment actions (you taking care of his mom) not looks (you losing weight & looking better) my family is the same way; I can't get a compliment to save my life; it;s always "It's good but I would of done it this way" DH also doesn't support me right now (he is threatened) but since I…

I agree, I'm still a newbie as well & just the photos are inspiring! Thanks for sharing

Looking great!!!!

What is the name of the Champion bra? & does it run true to size? I was just researching this (38H that I am, just a brisk walk can hurt LOL) thanks!

I'm East side of Columbus & just saw on another thread that they hope to get pitbit & MFP linked in the next few weeks. Think I know what I'm asking for as my BIG christmas gift....a Fitbit of course!

With the thyroid meds it will take a week or two to notice a difference, so don't stop after a day or two if you don't notice anything yet. Also is it possible for your Dr to refer you to an Endo & see if they can get the appointment sooner?? (Sorry, also in the US, not sure how your health system works). The one book I…

Thanks! I'll be trying these tomorrow

I'm looking for some new oatmeal recipes & need to try this. but one question do you heat the oats up or eat them cold? I've soaked steel cut oats over night & then I I can just microwave them & it only takes a minute or two as opposed to the half hour or so if they weren't soaked.

Yes, I'm interested too. So where can you find coconut sugar?

I was told a half hour too, One time I was told 20minutes. I just don't want to chance it & I typically get so busy with the kids it turns into at least an hour before I eat & baby you better believe I have coffee (w/ milk or half & half) within a half hour of waking up. LOL I am NOT a morning person

I Live in Ohio & they are very strict when it comes to alternative medicine & what they will cover insurance wise. Typing up my story I realized how long it's been since I've been me AND my Endo called today & wants to LOWER MY DOSAGE. HELLO I can not stay awake in the afternoon to get my oldest off the bus, something is…

My thyroid is DEAD due to the RI I took. But my tissue is still there. I was in for 4 biopsies over a 2 yr span (The 2nd came back 'inconclusive') my Endo says that sometimes it's just a freak of nature. Your body has nothing better to do than attach a fluid pocket to some useless tissue (I asked if she could biopsy my…

Inspirational! keep up the good work!

Hi all, I was diagnosed in 2003 with hyperthyroid & was treated with Radioactive iodine; my Dr said I would probably go back to normal; I didn't I went hypo. I gained about 25lbs in 3 months, lost a lot of hair. & was finally put on Synthroid early 2004. And I still don't think it works right. I got pregnant with my first…

I'm silently screaming over here, I can't believe they would already have sugar in with the cream. I typically always get a double double. Since I can't go there without ordering a donut though, I haven't been lately. Plus the last time I got an iced coffee & I swear there was a half inch of sugar on the bottom. YUCK!!! &…

Glad to know I'm not the only one that thought she was too giddy. I just got the 5 Day Slim Down & I only did the Day 1 Classic walk which is a 14minute mile but I really liked it; I just wish I was in shape to do more

I found that site last week too & you are right that list A LOT

Oh my Gosh! You can totally tell your face is a different shape & your stomach...I'm jealous of your stomach LOL great job!

Look at those guns! GREAT JOB!!!!

I binge eat out of boredom (watching my shows after the kids are in bed, I can kill a bag of peanut M&M's) I have found it helpful to not have the food in the house, or I have months of if it's on top of the fridge or in back of the cabinet I can forget about it & then **** happens & I will stress eat & my stress eating is…
