I have SI problems, and had to wear an SI belt when I was pregnant with my third child, wish I knew about it for my first two!! I've found that where I'm at right now, when I lose 5 lbs my SI pain disappears. When I let myself go and gain 5 lbs it flares up and throws me off track. It's this vicious cycle, I lose 5lbs and…

Thank you for your support!

That's awesome, hope my hubby will do that with our daughter as she grows up too. I wonder how many friend requests you've gotten from single moms by putting up this post lol

Yea my husband had a laminectomy two years ago and it hasn't improved anything, he's been getting worse. He was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, but I think it's probably laminectomy syndrome too because he has some scar tissue build up from his prior surgery.

Thank you so much for your reply. I posted this here and in the general forum and yours was the only reply I received. Have you returned to work? What do you do for a living? The doctor told him he can't pick up more than 10 pounds for 3 months and then not more than 25 pounds for the next 3 after that. Did you have a…

These are hilarious!!!! I'm not sure if I'm sad or happy that I don't have one to contribute!! Now if this was worst marriages I would totally contribute ;) My first one was a joke!

Thank you so much for your help!

It definitely looks like I have runner's knee! I think I will take up bike riding and lifting to strengthen my quads and go back to running less.

Thanks for the input :) I will check it out

bump? Can I get a little love?

I've never even heard of a gift opening party... what is this ridiculousness?! Making people come to a party to watch you open gifts?! I think that's weird. I've heard of having a post-wedding brunch... but calling it a gift opening party?? lmao...

Lots of posts have gotten me interested in reading NROLFW.. you have convinced me. I'm buying the book today!

So the scale hasn't budged in the last week.... BUT!!!!!!..... My shirt that I put on for work this morning was WAY too big... I had to put on one of those cute little belts that skinny girls wear around their upper torsos to make the shirt look even halfway decent!!!! The scale officially means nothing to me... it's all…

Thanks for the input!! I've made my diary public, feel free to tear it apart. I didn't log completely yesterday or the day before that, but if you go back to Tuesday and a few days before it should be pretty accurate. I typically get plenty of protein, I'm a meat lover. I think I do pretty well on carbs and fats too but…

bumping... anyone feel like helping a lost soul today ;)

If I could give you any advice it's DON'T LET THEM GET WORSE! Do something about it NOW. They spread. I have them on both feet on the balls of my feet and under my toes. I've had them for years and even had surgery on both feet at the same time to remove them. Surgery as in they put me under, cut them out, and I couldn't…

I already track my food and drink water so I'm in for those. I want to do the running one because I really want to see how it feels to keep going for 3 miles. I already get up at 5:15am to do my one mile though lol I'm going to aim for Friday because that's the day I will work from home so if I get a later start it's no…

I did it!!!! :) I love meeting my challenges!!!

Helen check out the Eat More 2 Weigh Less group here on MFP. The science behind the method seems solid and I lost a pound the first week. I don't feel like I'm being tortured, my body feels good. It becomes more about eating lots of healthy food rather than eating as little as possible. I currently am eating 1755 calories…

I had joined a 30DS group that was starting today and gave it a go this morning. It did NOT go well. Instead I did a Dance off the Inches video from beginning to end (45min). I had never been able to do the whole thing before so I'm pumped!! My plan is to do the video Sun Tues & Thurs and to run a mile (or more :) on M W F.

SW: 220 CW 219 (but I have one of those silly scales that just has a needle, I need the one that shows ounces) GW: 199 I measured myself yesterday too, I'm excited to see how those numbers change over the next few months!!

That is so awesome!! Congrats!!! I'm really not disciplined enough to do the actual C25K so I'm doing it the "lazy" way with my app called Podrunner which sets the C25K idea to music... I love it!

Thanks Rayita! I just sent you a friend request :)

Check out Podrunner, it sets the C25K idea to music so you just have to run to the beat. It takes 9 weeks I believe.

Kelli I love your challenges keep em coming!! I didn't end up getting on the elliptical last night, but that's because I put away 5 baskets of clean laundry instead. My husband does all of the laundry (and the dishes, he's a saint), it's my job to fold and put away. I hate my job haha! I felt so accomplished getting that…

I can't believe that I was eating 1200 calories before...this totally makes sense!! I can't find another BMR calculator out there that even comes CLOSE to what MFP suggests!!

bump for later :)

I logged my food completely yesterday and clicked on that finished logging for today button for the first time in a long time yesterday. Here's to doing it again today! Ran a mile yesterday and walked for the rest of my half hour exercise session Drank all my water Didn't hop on the scale yesterday or this morning! :)

Great!! Thanks for joining me!! I'm going to put a sticky note on my scale when I get home from work today because I almost hopped on this morning without thinking! I just want to give myself a week to concentrate on getting a healthier body rather than seeing that needle move.
