Hi, My name is Judy. Have been on MFP for a couple years. Can't do without it.

Sandy, with the left knee I could drive in 3 weeks. With the right it was 4. I start league bowling in Sept. And hope to start country line dancing soon after that. My rehab with the right one was so much easier than the left because I was 100 lbs lighter. Will help with anything. Just ask.

I had my left knee replaced 3 years ago and my right one done in May. Two of the best things I;ve ever done. Good luck.

Hello everyone. Hope you still remember me. I've been in Jersey since 18 June. Most of it has been spent in the yard. We have not been here since last June and it;s major overgrown with wysteria (sp) Have not been on the computer much. Hope to rectify that. Hope all are well. Judy

Hello Everyone. Sorry for my absence. Had a wonderful time in Texas. Had my right knee replaced on 5/11 and a tornado came down our street on 5/12. We are one of the lucky families. Minor damage. 7 out of 14 families are displaced for 3-6 months. Pete's new truck was blown into my Jeep. We needed new roof shingles, siding,…

Greetings from El Paso. Have been on vacation for a week. Sorry to hear Marie is under the weather. I really havent been on while i've been away, but wanted to share my news. I reached my 100 lb goal. Actually I only have 8 lbs to go to "onederland" and 37 more to goal. Can't believe I lost 5.5 on vacation. Promise to read…

Thanks for starting the new thread. I appreciate you. My weight stayed the same this week. I did find Almond Butter at a wonderful store called Whole Foods. I bought Greek yogurt too as I've heard alot about it. Lots of good healthy food ideas today on The Doctors. Lisa (sombody) called the Hungry Girl. Enjoy the rest of…

Thanks for the suggestions. Barbiecat, where can I get Almond or Cashew butter??? Health food store?? I looked in my regular market. With the LapBand, I have trouble with nuts so I think the butter is better. (sounds like a commercial). .

Believe me, I'm not trying to not eat. I just can't get in all the calories I'm supposed to. Plus with 30-40 minute exercise every am I'm behind the 8 ball. I hear chocolate is high in calories - just teasing. I'm trying to find something I like that is low or no carbs to bulk up my calorie intake. Any suggestions???

Morning Everyone. We had a beautiful day in Kansas yesterday. Almost 70. YUM. Worked in the yard. I can't wait for a tan. Seem to be gaining weight this week. I haven't been getting in my calories. Yesterday I only had 500. (and burned 197 on the wii)

Morning All. The weather man just ruined my plans for the weekend. Pete & I love to take our golfcart and zip up & down the aisles of our local Drive In/ Swap & Shop. They are calling for 6-8 inches of snow. Do they not know my flowers are starting to sprout. Went to the Dr. yesterday - he's happy. I lost the lbs I gained…

Jane, I think I like the HRM. I just have to get used to wearing it. I hope it's close to accurate as I've already burned 500 calories and I got it after my 30 minute workout this am. I did do another 15 minutes and went for a walk. How do you all record the calorie burn from the HRM on your exercise chart. I don't know…

Thanks for the info. Just went out and got a Polar FT4.

Information Request. Would appreciate knowing what kind of HRM's you think are best and where did you find them. Also, anyone use a pedometer. I have a Sportsline and for some reason it won't work on my waist, so I hook it to my Bra. It looks like a have a tumor and doesn't work great there either. Thanks in Advance -…

My weigh in day is Friday so I though I'd share. I lost 5 lbs this week. Don't be a hater, I really only lost 1.5 lbs because I didn't tell you all that I gained 3.5 last week. ;) My Bad!!!! I really bumped up the wii last week and I think I was retaining water weight. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. My Knee…

I've been doing 30 - 40 minutes every morning for the past 2 months. Just started the stepping. Love it. Also the run. Short, long and island run. I have noticed that in between my shoulder blades gives me pain. Anyone have any clues as to why. What am I doing wrong.

Happy March everyone. Just read through the posts. OML. Everybody seems to have a life but me. Maybe I'll have an amusing Hospital story after my knee surgery. Hopfully not their reaction to the rear view from the johnny coat while I'm walking down the hall. Did you know that those things have a new name. They are called…

Can anyone help. I've been using the wii every am for 30 min. (golf, soccer, skiing & yoga) Just started stepping. Love it. Also started the run. Long, short, & Island Run. I've got one new knee and surgery on the other one in May. Doing OK - BUT I get terrible pain between my shoulder blades. Is this normal while…

CalieCat, Please add the following to your birthday list. Jersey 5/18/1946

It's snowing in Kansas again. Wooptie Do. Barbie, Yes to all of your questions. The biggest reason I'm so excited about going is that my team is my original team from NJ. I only get to see them at Nationals. I didn't tell them I had Lapband and they have know clue I'm "thinner". Boy am I going to make an entrance. Went to…

Barbie, I'm bowling at Nationals. This will be my 26th year. Every year it's in a different state. You don't have to be good, just show up. If I bowl good I may get a check - if not it's a vacation and I'm getting to see the USA. Every third year it's in Reno though. Next year it's in Syracuse, NY. Judy

Sandy - Hope your Step-Son wakes up and smells the coffee. Jeffrey - You're amazing. I would be dead if I had your exercise schedule. I'm elated with my 30-40 minutes a day. Birdie - Try to slow down and take a breath. Elli - Please stay healthy. I called the Ortho and made an appt. for Friday to schedule my right knee…

I really enjoy it. I've used mine daily since November. (If you don't the little witch has a comment!! :) Also like the diversity of the exercises.

Does anyone post their calories burned on the wii into the exercise section of MFP. Curious as to how you're recording it.

I got the recharger for the balance board for Christmas. It's great. I'm waiting for the $5.00 coupon from Bed Bath & Beyond, then I'll get the charger for the remotes.

Happy Valentine's Day. Hope everyone has a day to remember. Judy

Just checking in. Sounds like everyone is doing well. I've been reading all your posts but haven't had the time to post on everyone. Hope you don't throw me out. Judy

Today was my 65th day on the wii plus. I've been trying to do 30-40 minutes a day for the past few weeks. Still can't ski jump. I wind up a giant snow ball. I think it has something to do with my knees. I had one replaced and need the other one done and can't lock it. Oh well, I still love downhill snowboard and golf.

Happy Happy Day!!! Congrats. I can't wait to reach "One"derland. I have 27 lbs to go. t

Bought it the day after Thanksgiving and have been on it for 64 days in a row. I'm addicted to golf. Never played it before. But I can't ski jump. I wind up a big snow ball with skis. Although I'm not a fan of the little witch who tells me I'm obese every morning. Like I don't know.
