Thanks for sharing! You look fantastic!

Haven't walked as much as I've liked, but here is the latest tally. Only a quarter of the way there. Probably need to change my ticker to a turtle! WAY TO GO to the rest of the group!

Trying my best to keep at this. Better at walking than logging in my mileage. As of today I'm at 19 miles total. Today, I walked my neighbor's dogs while she had watched her grandkids, and my husband and I walked to a restaurant for dinner. Will work again on my ticker when I am feeling more technologically motivated.…

Walk. Find a safe route and do it everyday. Lengthen your time or the difficulty of the route. Walk to the store if you can. It is wonderful to get outside. If you have a neighbor who will walk with you--even better. The internet has many ideas on how to enhance your walk. Check it out! Pilates is a great workout and is…

Shoot, lost my ticker. Oh well, someday I'll figure out the ins and outs of technology! Until then. I'll just keep track as best I can. Wow, you guys are doing great! I'm at 11 miles so far. Good job everyone!

I live in a hilly part of town--what goes down must come up! Wherever we walk there are hills--flat is rare. I walk often with my neighbor and her two small terriers or I walk alone. I don't usually do music, but sometimes when I walk my myself I enjoy listening to my Ipod. Mostly we walk and talk. We do about three miles…

OK. I'll give this a shot! I like this challenge--thanks for thinking this up.

You look fabulous! And in Oregon, working out isn't always easy! You are an inspiration to us all, Your neighbor in Beaverton, OR

I agree with the swimming and yoga. But not just any yoga--find a good instructor and start out S-L-O-W. Yoga really helps you get in touch with your aches and pains, and a good instructor (mine is 71!) can guide you best. Good luck with your recovery, and keep us all informed here at MFP. And look into the possibility of…

I couldn't agree more! A *kitten* indeed. Life is short--no need to put up with that kind of BS. Can the doc!

Me too! Living in the PNW is great--but ya gotta love the rain! It's green here for a reason. Good luck with your weight-loss goals!

I hope I am doing this correctly--I haven't quite figured out this posting stuff... Please do not wish for rain anymore--I want to go out and do some gardening here in Oregon. Right now I would trade all this rain for TWO pet giraffes!

I had this problem a few years ago. My doctor diagnosed plantar fasciitis. Therapy for PF was not helping, so I went to a podiatrist. He diagnosed simple swelling between my tendons--the outside half of my foot would tingle and feel like it was asleep. He gave me two cortisone shots and it has never bothered me again. The…

Thanks for the post. Very infomative.

YOU LOOK FANTASTIC! Keep it up!

Tonight I baked 3 oz. of dover sole with about 2 cups of baby spinach (the bagged variety) and about 3/4 cup of chopped mushrooms in parchment paper. I seasoned it with lemon zest, marjoram, parsley, lemon pepper and seasoned salt. Cooked it at 450 degrees for about 10 minutes. Delicious and only about 120 calories. No…

Hey Heather, Just got my first "friend" and have been using MFP for over a year. Wasn't really looking for support, but the more the merrier! No need to feel pathetic--some people are just more "social" than others. Perhaps you should join one of the groups on MFP. They might offer you the suppport you are looking for.…

Thanks for the heads up regarding Food Inc. I missed more than the first hour, but will record the next showing. Prettty scary stuff, huh? I am buying local whenever I can and organic more often nowadays.
