Water aerobics should work well for you. I take them for my hip and knee and it does wonders for me. Also, I noticed that while hiking, if I took the stairs quickly, while it hurt, eventually it hurt less and less. I also take ibuprofen either right before or right after a workout to minimize the pain in my hip and knee.…

I can't find it in my area. I was hoping to buy some last week. I've heard that it can leave a bitter after taste, and also, if you use too much, it can be bitter.

Change up your exercise routine. Your body may be used to what you are doing. If you change it up, it'll kick into overdrive to catch up. Good luck!

My hubs tried to make pesto once, but he ended up using ALOT more Olive Oil than just 2tbsp. I don't see how you can get 8 servings out of 2 tbsp lol

Hit me with some pesto recipes, please! I LOVE pesto and will pretty much eat it on just about anything. How are your best tasting way to make it?

Does anyone know if this would taste okay if I subbed Deerburger in place of the ground turkey? We have a freezer full of deer from the deer season and I need to use it up instead of buy more meat!

You go girl :D

Still sick.. actually out of work today, but I still did my weigh-in. I lost another 3 pounds! I'm amazed.

I'm so sick.... It started Friday at work with the coughing, progressed into sore throat, hoarseness, fever, chills and a few other things I'll spare you all the details on. I'm still sick. Currently have a fever of 102 and trying to break it. Ugh.. My diet is blown to hell in a handbasket this weekend :(

My mother is 67 years old, and sufferes from high blood pressure and kidney problems. She lives in SC across the street from my two brothers. My sister and I live here in MS. My sister's daughter moved to SC (in with mom) this past weekend. All week last week, my mother begged me to make the 8-9 hour drive up to see her.…

Thanks! Just let me know what challenges/goals/etc are, please!

I know where you're coming from! Two punds is an awesome loss. It's just the start of many to disappear :D Congrats!:drinker:

Good for you! I know it's fun to be able to play again :D:flowerforyou:

I'm still fairly new, so can I ask how one goes about joining a team?

Wow. Lot more to it than I thought there would be. Each class is 50 mins long and you use up every second of it. I spoke with the teacher before class started explaining the situation with my hip. She assured me that at any point, if I felt pain, it was okay to stop and wait for the next set of exercises. She told me that…

I think you have to be their friend before you can leave them comments.

Today, I am grateful for: ~Having a good job. ~Being able to move today. ~Water (I'm almost out here at work!) ~Friends ~A little bit of money in the bank.

I'm just now seeing this thread! I'm grateful for: ~ God giving me the ability to move again. ~ Breathing. ~ Music ~ Sight ~ A husband that loves me enough to be okay with just about everything ~ Furkids - the love they give is amazing. ~ A mom and mother in law that are still here and love me. ~ MFP (of course!)

I sit at a desk all day too. Have you thought about taking a multi vitamin ? One thing that helps keep my energy up is walking. During my lunch break, I will walk for about ten - 15 mins around the building I work in. It helps perk me up and get my blood flowing and that carries me for a while.

Makes it easier on the scale.....:sad:

But remember, just because something like sodas can count for your water intake, doesn't mean they will be good for you.

Way to go, Laura. I'm so proud of you!! You are doing so well!

Thanks :) Believe me, I'm excited about 4 pounds. And I know that I can do this and keep the pounds coming off.

Way to go!

amazing! Congrats!

Water flushes all the sodium out of your body. Sodium causes alot of your water weight. You may not even realize how much sodium you're eating in a day. Try looking at the sodium intake on the calorie counter here, and you'll be amazed at what you're consuming on a regular day. Diet Pop is LOADED with sugary sweet stuff…

I weigh in the mornings, before my body wakes up lol I started last Monday 1/12/09. I've lost 4 pounds. Not as much as I would like, but I'm posting it in this forum because it's still a success. I know what I need to work on in order to lose more and I'm going to start my water aerobics tomorrow. (I'm so excited about…

I love me some Diet Dr Pepper. I have stopped consuming it all together now within a week. Wean yourself. You say you drink 3-4? At first, cut down to 2 or 3. One for lunch and dinner and maybe an evening one. A couple days later, one for just lunch and one for dinner, couple more days, just one for lunch OR dinner... You…

DDR junkie here too. You get such a good workout without even knowing it!
