I've had fibromyalgia since my mid-teens and I have been unable to find any exercise that doesn't cause me pain of some sort. In my experience, there's a baseline of pain with fibro and then there's when you do something that's too much and then there's when you do something that really causes a flare (major pain). You…

Apparently it used to be 6 weeks recovery but the latest research/findings (this via a surgeon) say 10 weeks. Definitely too soon regardless of which you go with. Rest up or you could put yourself out of commission a lot longer.

Make sure you contact customer service if it doesn't revive. They seem to have a history of replacing them.

I've had my fitbit one for 2 months now and I love it. I wear it in the centre of the front of my bra and it never shows through my tops (I'm fairly chesty though) and I wear it in the wristband at night to track my sleep. I find it very accurate, extremely motivating and in just two months, I've upped my steps from…

What she said.

I made kale chips with my leftover kale (from soup, same as you) for the first time yesterday. OMG. So good. The "recipe" I used was this one: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabian/crispy-kale-chips-recipe/index.html

From just north of Toronto - feel free to add me :)

1. Were you vegetarian before dieting or after? I've been dieting on and off for a long time and I joined MFP for the first time a long while ago and then just came back to it six months ago BUT I went vegetarian because of gastrointestinal issues (became very ill during a trip to Peru in 2010 and nothing seemed to help…

That's too bad. I've only had my fitbit for a month but I love it. I am way more active with it than I would be without. It encourages me to move more and take the stairs more and I love the sleep function as well. But if you're not having fun with it, and it's not working for you, then for sure stop using it.

Recipe's here on my food blog: http://familyfriendlyveg.wordpress.com/2012/10/16/lemon-lentil-soup/

The recipe is here: http://familyfriendlyveg.wordpress.com/2012/10/17/meatless-hash/ The rest are on that blog as well. Have been lagging lately on posting more due to illness but better now and intend to get going again :)

When my diary is closed, I log /everything/ - even my binges. When it's open, I feel the need (not something I seem able to control) to make it look nice and presentable. If I'm to be successful, I need to be honest and so closed it is.

I bought a Fitbit One at the beginning of February and I love it. I find it really encourages me to move and get my step and stair badges each day and I love the way it syncs with MFP. I have a much better idea of what I'm really burning each day and I love that I can wear it in the middle of my bra (don't even notice it's…

Dieting. I had such a messed up opinion of my weight and body when I was in my teens/early 20s that I thought I was fat when I wasn't (5'8" and 120 pounds) and every time I dieted to get lower, I'd end up binging and gaining a few pounds when I went off the diet. Add to that, going from being a fairly active athlete to a…

Married 17 years next month but been together for 23 years. He's the love of my life and my very best friend and we have so much fun together :)

When I was feeling that way, it turned out to be pneumonia.

You can easily find a supplement (in Canada) in any drugstore (Shoppers Drug Mart, etc), many grocery stores with pharmacy/drugstore sections, Wal-Mart, and health food stores, etc. Most will require refrigeration but Jamieson's puts out a "pixie stick" sort of powdered acidophilus that doesn't require refrigeration.…

Given the things you say he's said to you, I don't see how this could be a wonderful relationship. Your life partner needs to accept you for you and as some people have pointed out, it's one thing if you'd been together for years and you'd gained weight and your life partner said "this is worrying me because of your…

I spend max $150.00 a week for 3 - 2 adults and 1 teenager. I buy my grains, etc, at the bulk barn, check flyers for what fruits and vegetables are on sale, use a fair bit of tofu and shop our Korean markets (we have two within walking distance and they often prove cheaper than my usual supermarket). I freeze leftovers and…

When my child (now a teenager) was small and she had a tantrum, if I could leave the store/restaurant, I did. I would pick her up, carry her out, take her home or wait for the tantrum to subside outside. If I could not, I would sit down in the quietest corner of the store, mall, etc, put my arms around her and wait for the…

My favourites are all here: http://familyfriendlyveg.wordpress.com/ and I'll be adding more

I swear by New Balance and I have all sorts of issues with my feet, etc (that they totally help with).

I'm so sorry for your loss.

You might be in the minority but I'm right there with you.

And unfortunately, that's a huge problem. No one person should ever be all you have. Find some hobbies, find some new friends. Move on. You should be happy with yourself before you try and be happy with someone else.
