  • Current mini goal <200 pounds by my next dr appt (October) Walking every day, even if just a little, so I can walk at Disney in the spring!
  • I have been wanting to try Lululemon as well. My 17 year old daughter loves them - but she’s like 105 lbs! She wears them for hours of dance and says they are comfy and hold up well. I really like Athleta. Compared to Old Navy, the Athleta leggings (I think they’re actually called tights) wash up better and don’t get…
  • Even if you can’t do it for a long time, you might want to still start with walking. Three 10 minute walks a day are just as good as a half hour walk. Leslie Sansone has some walking workouts on DVD or Amazon Prime that are great for beginners. Or you could do some walking in water, which would really take the impact off…
  • Fellow pttd sufferer here. I tried the Vionic walker - not bad, even though it was not very cute. Saucony Stabil - this one was pretty good. Hoka One-Ones - love! I did a custom, lace-up Arizona brace. Yes, it was expensive, but it was a life-saver. I could walk for miles in it. Then I tried hyprocure, which was a small…
  • I’ve done terrible on the Mini Challenge lately. I’ve been logging and staying very close to or under my calorie goal of 1200, but it’s been tough to get any exercise in other than scootering to the bathroom! But I did weigh in. Previous Weight - 187 Current Weight - 184 Woohoo!
  • Had foot surgery yesterday, so I can’t weigh in today (scale is upstairs!) Can you put me as the same weight as last week and I’ll try to weigh in next week? For mini challenge 4/11 and 4/12 Logged - yes Under calories - yes Exercise - nope! No weight bearing for 4-6 weeks. But I’m hoping to do some chair fitness after I’m…

  • Hi! I’m Beth from Nebraska. I’m 44 years old, mom to 3 teenagers plus a foreign exchange student this year and two naughty little dogs. I teach first grade at the best school on the planet. I used MFP 5 years ago and lost 20 pounds to get to my goal weight - yay! A year later I had a foot injury and put on about 30 pounds.…
  • Username: bethann51774 Weigh-in Day: Friday Starting Weight: 188 lbs
  • Thanks for the replies. I really think I am OK doing both on some days. 30DS is only a 25 minute work out, and C25K takes me about 40 minutes, since I take a longer cool down. So I'm only slightly over an hour total. I usually break them up, one in the morning and one after work. On the days I do my long walks, I only do…
  • Started on Sunday, and I just finished Day 4. Call me crazy, and maybe I'll eat my words later, but I LIKE the repetitiveness. I know when I get to those awful side lunge lifts that I am almost done. It is a quick workout, and by no means would I make it the only thing I do, but I needed to add some strength training and I…
