Welcome! This is a great site to get motivation and ideas from others. It is also good for balance (as you were talking about). Tracking your food and fitness will definitely help you to form good patterns. It has been good for me to see my FP's eating and working out, because then I want to do the same, and it is out…

Welcome! I would love to hear your meal ideas, as love to cook and eat! :smile:

Welcome! Good luck in your health/fitness journey! :smile:

Welcome! Congrats on your new additions! This is such a great site with lots of support. Good luck on you health journey. :smile:

I would suggest cycling if you have a bike or can borrow one. It is low impact and depending on where you live you can do it around the neighborhood. Also, for resistance training, you could try pilates with bands. Gaiam has a really good set at Target and on the Gaiam website. Good luck!

Hello and welcome! This a great site. There is a lot of support on here, which goes a long way. Good luck on you health journey. :smile:

Welcome! I can relate, as most people can on this site. My husband is very active and doesn't need to lose. I have to make an effort. There is a lot of support on here. Good luck on your health journey! :smile:

I eat back some of the cals I burn so my body doesn't go into starvation mode - which will keep you from losing, but not all of them if I can help it. Good luck! :smile:

Welcome back! I am on my second try. This time I am getting invloved in the commmunity. Good luck on your health journey. I will send you a request. :-)

Thanks for all of the advice. I will definitely use it! :smile:

Sounds delish! Thanks for sharing! :-)

Thanks guys! I went ahead and changed my settings to fit my lifestyle a little better. I agree they automatically set those catagories too low. It is easy for me to eat protein and fiber, because they keep me full and I often favor those items to begin with. :smile:

I log it as Zumba and use my heart rate monitor for the cal burn count. I don't think it is in the MFP system.

Welcome! Friend request sent! :-)

Awesome, thanks! I will try them! :-)

I have lived in the greater Seattle area all of my life. I love visiting other places, but it is always great coming back home. Snoqualmie Falls is definitely one of the best spots to visit. I have been there several times and it is gorgeous. :-)

I can relate to what you are going through. I am 30 years old and have had numerous ankle and knee issues. I have been in physical therapy 3 times.The only thing that orthopedic surgeons have been able to tell me is that my feet are flat, I have shallow sockets and loose joints, and my q-angle is off (the angle b/tw my hip…

Hello and welcome! This is a great site! Good luck on your health journey. :smile:

You could have some sort of allergy that gives you inflamation. That is great that you have given up the sweetners. I have seen studies that the body does not know how to treat large amounts of artificial sweetners. I sometimes use stevia, which comes from the stevia plant leaf or agave.

Welcome! All of those are good reasons to join. There is lots of support on here. Good luck on your health journey. :smile:

Welcome! My sister and mom are on here as well. The more support the better. :smile:
