  • Recently suffered with acute pain in my shoulder that did not allow me to raise my arm above shoulder height. Made washing my hair very difficult! My doctor put me on ibuprofen 800 mg 3 times a day along with pain meds & muscle relaxer. Only took the pain meds/muscle relaxer once because it wiped me out but the ibuprofen…

  • Good for you! It doesn't matter what it looks like; you are getting out there & moving & that is the goal!! I have never been a runner but did C25K last year & it really boosted my confidence. :happy:

  • I would agree about giving any change time to work. I just started P90X April 1 & gained 2 lbs the first 2 weeks but this week (end of week 3) I lost 2 & 1/2 lbs! Plus, I can feel a difference in how my clothes fit so I think I have lost some inches! Best of luck to you & I'm glad you're not giving up! CONGRATS on how far…

  • One of my favorite quick dinners is sweet italian turkey sausage sausage with onions & peppers - yum! That's what we had tonight. You can serve it over rice if you're not eating low carb.

  • CW: 157.7. 1. Lose 5 lbs this month 2. Complete first 30 days of P90X without skipping any work outs 3. Give up candy - this is hard since I usually have tootsie rolls at work but I really feel this is an addiction/crutch/habit that I need to break :)

  • I would definitely have bristled if someone told me i'm not "allowed" to eat something! I think that is perfectly understandable. I admire your conviction to change your lifestyle for the better. Know that the people on this site support that goal :happy: Keep working to get healthy & show everyone what "not dieting" can…

  • Those are great goals! I wasn't sure if anyone was still active with this group so glad to see you on here. I am bad about making mini goals in writing but have set a few: Started C25K training last week - run/walk 3 days a week On 2 of my off days I did "boot camp" type work out - 30-45 mins of calisthenic type exercises…
