I decided to loose weight and get into shape when I went to my chiropractor with back and leg pain. She told me that my hamstrings were tight and that they were pulling on my lower back muscles. She attempted to "stretch" my legs and I cried from the pain :sad: , that's when I said "enough is enough!" She told me about MFP…

Nice to meet all of you :smile: MFP Iowans rock!! :glasses:

I will have to remember that myself. My hot flashes were almost non existence for a short time. Now I know the signs LOL:laugh: I have had it for almost a week now...wish it would just stop even if its only for a few weeks...Thanks for the info on this everyone. I appreciate it.:happy:

Starting over today :blushing: I totally lost my ambition after I got sick, so today I start at level 1 again :sad:

Sorry to hear about your friend. My dad had a triple bypass and lung cancer, passed away in 2009. You'd think that would give me reason to quit but it hasn't. I'll work on it and you hang in there too!

I have the 30day shred also and I stopped like an idiot and now today started again and it just about killed me. :embarassed: I work 7p-7a 3-4x a week and its hard to do it when i go to bed after work around 8:30am and get up at 3pm for work that night. I just can't get motivated to do it on those days and that's were my…

Also my husband smokes and some of my co-workers

:smokin: I've tried 5x to quit. I've tried cold turkey, the patch, Chantix,(sp)x2, welbutrin, even the gum, but I haven't been able to go for more than a few weeks then I start up again. :sad: I was wondering since I am now exercising , if that would help my cravings and my mood swings from not smoking. I am afraid to stop…

Well Thank you moran1917. You are too!! :smile:

I like my Elliptical. My knees won't allow me to use a treadmill. Had one and had to sell it. Since I am a newbie, and 49 yrs old, I thought best to start with this. I do walk everyday, but when raining so that's why I bought an Elliptical. Maybe someday I will up grade to something different, but for now it works for me…

I was sick:sick: last week and lost my motivation. :frown: Just starting to get back to feeling better. I think I am going to have to start all over again :sad:

Been sick since Friday so haven't been keeping up with it:sick: Hope to feel better soon so I can start up again :smile:

I to had a hard time getting up off the floor today! Here I thought it was just me :tongue: For some reason I just don't have as much energy today and couldn't keep up without stopping to breath.:yawn: Hopefully I will get my walk in and use my ellipitcal before work tonight because tomorrow i wont get as much time in…

I tend to feel nauseated during my hot flashes. If I'm not sitting down when they come about I do get light headed. I too tend to run outside or near a fan when mine occur. Its funny how my coworkers know exactly when they are occurring. Mine last for a few short minutes but I have several and usually in the evenings. ( of…

I am only using 1lb weights for now. Seems to be working for me :smile:
