I make it a point to get up from my desk once and hour and walk around the building twice. If people can take smoke breaks, I can take a walk break. I usually get half of my goal steps in before the work day is over.

Anyone in Central Florida - Ocala?

I'm in starting now. Just saw this thread, but it can only help!

I have been thinking of the surgery. Since I'm still fairly young, I would like to get the problem taken care of for good. They are also going to try something else with the injection where they use a non medication solution to try and "blow" some of the debris off the nerve bundle. They say it is basically like the…

In Ocala area, am trying to lose 35 pounds by my 35th birthday. I've got 51 weeks to go!

I got back on track logging on Saturday and haven't binged since then. So I will start counting from then (this time, agian :))

Still no more news on the NuVal in grocery stores?

Pain has gotten bad enough for me to take some more action. On a five day course of Prednisone for the inflamation and Ultram for the pain. Physical therapy three times a week for the next two weeks. If the pain is relieved by then, on to image guided injections, which I have heard a lot of good things about.

No one else has ever used NuVal at their grocery store?

Let me know what you find out. I haven't been able to make heads or tails of it yet!

Thanks everyone. Some great tips! Keep them coming! I really want to be present in my body. If that makes any sense. I put food in me that does nurish me cause I justify it in my mind, same with skipping work outs. Is there a way to put my bodys needs in charge of my thinking?

Have had a set back on my weight and gained a little back. I can feel it in my back for sure.

How about a check in? Mine is four days.

Chiropractic and message therapy is working for me. This is the 2nd week of my third round of treatment and, slowly but surely, the pain is getting less and less.

Sunday was my last binge. I may be over my calorie goal this weekend, since we have family in town and we will be eating out a lot, but I'm really going to try not to binge. Going to keep that idea of moderate portion sizes and not "giving up" when I'm over my calorie goal!

I am at my parents for the weekend for my mom's birthday. I am not going to stay under my calorie goal, but I am vowing not to binge. I will try to stay within my BMR.

I LOVE this. I am totally going to start doing this. Thank you!!!

[/quote] ....no-one punishes you for going over your calories except you ;-) Stay positive x [/quote] THANK YOU FOR THAT! Very encouraging!

If I make it tonight, it will be three days. :)

This is by far my biggest mistake. Does anyone else particularly stuggle with this one?

One day success. Didn't do it last night, and I think it has a lot to do with this group. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I have done well in the past with making a cup of coffee or tea after dinner (when I'm most likely to binge.) Its worked well for me in the past to help "complete my eating." I am going to try to get in the habit agian.

I'm so glad this group is here. I've binged the last three nights in a row. I keep telling myself, just eat what you want now, and tomorrow you can start over. And then I eat myself sick. Last night it was peanut butter on crackers and oatmeal cookies. I do eat "bad" foods as part of my daily calorie goal so as not to deny…

How's it going ladies?

What goals do you have for April? I want to be 178 by April 30th. Right now I am at 183.5. Started out with a weekend out of town when I couldn't even log in. So I'm gonna have to get tough on tracking! :)

sounds like you are on the right track. very back friendly types of exersice. good to hear from you. thanks for sharing your experience!

I would like to lose 5-10 pounds by April 30.

Had a really bad day yesterday. Sat down in front of the tv with a box of vanilla wafers and blew my calories by 500. Any advice on how to best move on from this disaster and not let it happen agian?
