  • Great job, ^5 I am approaching my original goal weight, hopefully soon. I was wondering today what I'll do when I reach it! Do I eat more or work out less, or strength train more. Never thought this far ahead.

  • If you look on my profile I uploaded a picture of the best pillow I've had in years. First night was brilliant and continues to be. I got this through a chiro for about $40. They come soft, medium and firm. If you search google or ebay am sure you can find similar. We have a tempurpedic mattress and pillow and I did use…

  • Last watched Dr Who when Tom Baker was the man (yup, I'm an old wrinkly) Bill Shatner is the only captain. Jean Luc is good, but even he becomes #1 when The Captain is in the room. BTW - The Daleks scared the living **** out of me

  • Also, when I first started getting the symptoms the pain was really unbearable. I would take strong painkillers at night just to get some sleep. Now the symptoms have regressed to annoying. But I do take one medicine still. Called Elavil, one at night. Is actually an old anti-depressant, but is now prescribed for nerve…

Also have modified my activity, to reduce eliminate anything hard on the neck. I do a little yoga so I skip a few poses. Not meant to play soccer anymore, but have become a…

  • I got my bag through a lucky draw at work, it has the company logo on it. If I were to buy a new bag, this would be one: http://www.amazon.com/OGIO-Big-Dome-Street-Duffel/dp/B001EYU50Q There are smaller bags, the Half Dome, etc. I have 2 Ogio messenger / laptop bags and they are superbly well made.

  • 2 things help me: 1. I LOVE Skinny Cow snacks and ice cream. Usually 90 or 100 cals 2. Eat those snacks you do now, but enter each portion into MFP. Once you see how much cals each is it might help you to say no.

    in What's your "go to" meal when you don't feel like cooking? Comment by jallison12 June 2012
  • Good luck Chris. One day at a time, one calorie at a time. One way MFP helps me is to track totals. Couple of time I've just gone too far. Instead of beating myself up I take my dog around the neighbourhood for an hour. Boo ya, "under his calorie limit". Hi paw, and off to bed feeling good. BTW - the dog loves it!

I told my yoga instructor about this and she was surprised as pigeon is mainly for hips. But your front knee is way out there and it must have stretched the…
