I have similar issues, I have a rare autoimmune rheumatoid disease & am in pain everyday, and the weight goes up & down a bit. MFP has been a huge savior for motivation & information. Feel free to add me.

Congratulations!! Great job everyone!! :)

@ Pam, I used to do that, back & forth. After 20 years with this rheumatoid disease though, and having my 2 young boys, I realize it's worth the discomfort & 'pain' of the hard work to be healthy & feel better for the most part. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful...I just know I've gotten where I'm totally out of shape, &…

Thank you! Happy New Year to you! I hope you have a wonderful year!

Good work everyone. Give yourselves a break, it's the holidays, it's a festive time & a time to enjoy things. I have been right there with you with all of the sweet s& junk that's been around. But, the New Year is starting & you can start now to get things back in order! And, I am starting the New Year with bronchitis :(…

Merry Christmas!!! My plan for this week is to not overindulge to uncomfortable fullness, as someone above said. And that mostly hits me with desserts... My penance is 5 burpees... That said, I had 5 burpees for last night & 5 for today... I like my abs when I look in the mirror. And also, even though a couple of pounds…

Great to see Western NY peeps!! I'm from 2 hours SE of Buffalo. Nice to meet you all!! Just keep on moving & keep logging! You will get there!!

Hi Sheri! Thanks again for doing another challenge! My measurements are in. By any chance do you have measurements from any of the old challenges? Just curious as to where I am from then!

Yay! I'm in!! :-)

Also keep a bag of almonds or roasted edamame on hand for snacks.

As stated, it's low blood pressure... it could be that you're not eating enough. But, if it continues &/or gets worse, you should talk with your doctor to look into causes. I have a lot of health issues, and am on a lot of medicines & ended up with adrenal insufficiency which can be life threatening, and one of the…

No, they say there have been some studies done... supposedly Johns Hopkins is in the process of a study on it, as well as other well known places, wanted to hear if there's anyone with personal experience

I love these challenges & love my team!! The challenges have helped me lose some extra pounds I had, but most importantly help me to be stronger & healthier for me & my family! This also came into play in a huge way when I had my riding accident a few weeks ago. Being so fit definitely helped me to recover & I think is a…

http://www.runningshoesguru.com/2009/04/the-best-running-shoes-for-flat-feet-summer-2009/ This is an article from 2009 so has old shoe models, but has good info http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-240-319--4615-0,00.html This is a good article that takes you to the shoe finder

Yesterday online I found a few good sites with shoe reviews and questionnaires that give you different shoe options at then end. It's a lot of reading, and still confusing. Again I wish I was near a good running store!!!

Thanks so much for sharing this!!

I do strike mid-foot, so that's not an issue...

Thanks for this info!!

That's understood, it's hard to find any big companies that are all domestic! That's why I wish we had politicians that would support small business more & would help try to give incentives for companies to keep more jobs here...
