I'm glad I came across this thread. I too suffer from plantar fasciitis (ongoing for 8 months now), and it can be so discouraging. :/ I've never been held back from exercising the way I want to because of foot issues. Mine doesn't hurt when I do Zumba, but I feel it the rest of the day. I'm going to do some of the tips…

Isn't that the truth....

I am also trying to ease back into jogging and was doing so well until I had leg and foot issues. :( I don't think the leg was shin splints because it was a central location for the pain and a little off to the side. After that started easing so I wasn't limping when I walked, I developed what the doctor said was more than…

You're welcome. :)

I use to use a lot of creamer in my coffee too. I posted a "recipe" for the creamer I use now, which still has creamer in it - but it's nowhere near the sugar I used to drink in my coffee beforehand. I am so used to it this way now, that I cannot drink it with straight creamer now because it doesn't taste good.…

That's fantastic work! Very inspiring!

HAHA, my favorite! This video cracks me up!

If I wasn't in a serious, long-term (10-year) relationship, and had my 5 cats, I'd be considered the cat lady. LOL My boyfriend and I have 5 cats (of course, not on purpose). Here's Jasmine, who will be 8 in October. She likes having her head scratched. And this is Marble (left) with Oxford (right). We got Marble and…

Amazing job!!

Great job! Keep up the great work!

I eat breakfast because I have to. I'm hypoglycemic, so if I don't eat, there are side effects. :(

You are doing a great job!!

Amazing!

What a fantastic job! You are looking great!

You look amazing! What an inspiring story!

I like having a neat bed. I'm also slightly allergic to cats, and we've got 5. So I make the bed to keep the hair off the sheets, the part that would come into contact with skin.

Especially the fruit! I've tried both WW and MFP and have had more success with MFP (especially when I finally purchased an accurate HRM for calculating exercise calories). I think it's actually easier to count calories since most of the foods are already in MFP's database. I create my recipes on Calorie Count (their way…

Amazing!

I've had 2 personal trainers in my weight loss adventure, and BOTH (one male and one female) have stressed the importance of eating better choices. I also wanted to add, that if your friend has a very large amount of weight to lose, this might work for her in the very beginning - and then he may have her work on changing…

Word. I eat fairly well for the most part, but if I want a cookie or pizza occasionally, I'll eat what I want. It's no one's problem but my own, and I'm doing just fine with my weight loss.

Add me if you'd like!

BAHA! LOVE this! Sweet Baby Ray's is sooooo good! I don't eat BBQ a LOT, so I might just stick with it.

Sweets! I went to culinary school for baking, so it sucks not being able to make the stuff I love - especially since the boyfriend isn't a big sweets person. Pizza too! I could still probably eat half of a deep dish pizza - or more!

This was me! I'm learning to STOP when I'm full.

Congratulations! You look amazing!

The only reason I fall off the wagon on the weekend is I normally don't exercise, so I'm limited to the 1337 calories I have daily, or there's an event of some type (like my 15-year reunion this past Saturday). :(

Totally agree! There is no timeline for when you should get married and have kids. I'm 33, and classmates from high school are just now having their first or 2nd babies. And never ever feel the need to do something just because you're the only one in your circle of friends that hasn't done it!

LEAVE! Like someone pointed out - you don't want to bring a child into an environment like that. And ANYONE who threatens my animals is GONE. No one should ever treat a person the way he's treating you. Period.

I'm taking a vitamin D supplement (gummy chew) daily as well.
