Hi Meg: I have oesteo?(spelling?) arthritis and now my knee joint is down to bone on bone, which is causing the pain. I would absolutly love to get a personal trainer! That is why I joined the Canada Games Centre in the first place, to try my weight loss through exercise and healthy eating instead of the usual "I have to…

Went to the pool yesterday, I think I have to modify my leg movements because it was very painful to walk back to the car afterwards. I "need" to have some form of exercise or I just sit around feeling sorry for myself and resigned to the fact that I will never do this, so I am headed back to the pool and will just not…

Good Morning...after reading the posts this morning and realizing I am not in this alone I have found the ambition to head to the pool...finally after a few weeks of procrastinating...I too hate the "changing" after the pool. it's hard to be inconspicuous when you are not only large, but wet, and trying to get dry clothes…

New week, almost a new season starting....time to give my attitude an adjustment! I know I gained this week but not sure how much...it fluctuates by 1-2 pounds up and down constantly, my fault entirely! Off tonight to a fundraiser dinner for a" cat that would be Mayor!?":wink: A group of concerned citizens have banded…

I have a couple of books (just little paperbacks) on low GI eating and I really think it is the way to go, at least for me.The science of it definatly makes sense, and anything that brings us back to eating more "whole" foods and less "processed" foods has to have something going for it. My Doctor recomended it to me…

Haven't posted for a few days....have had a messed up week food wise....definatley not on track. Went to get my "custom fitted" brace this morning for my knee ( I have been so looking forward to getting it and hoped to be more mobile) but it didn't even come close to fitting! "Custom" my butt! I think they say "she's too…

Good Morning....my goals for September: learn to plan my meals one week at a time Find some recipes for vegetables...need to eat more of them Thinking on more will return in a bit Cathy

Hi all...I love reading all the posts and have started keeping a notepad by me for keeping track of all the great ideas and recipes. Cindy: I think you are right that we need to learn to plan our meals in advance to avoid the amount of stuff that ends up in the recycle bin! I buy things in the store with half of an idea…

Getting ready to shut down for the night.I was doing great till my DD showed up with fish and chips for supper! I only had the fish but that was bad enough! Must go and use my bike pedals and drink some water! Micki: that comedian was right about the word "diet" and "edit" Kathyszoo: thanks for the link to the exercise, I…

Hello Everyone, I haven't posted since July but would really like to become a part of this group. I have been looking at previous posts and getting inspired all over again. Shortly after I started posting here (and a couple of other challenges) I started having serious pain in my left knee,(arthritis) which got me terribly…

Hi, I had joined this challenge but in the end only participated a couple of days. I have been checking in and it is awesome how many steps, miles etc that have been accomplished! I am having some major issues with my knees, in particular my left one. Anyway I am going to keep an eye on this thread as I know it is the…

I am not opting out of this challenge but am having some issues with my knee, so haven't walked for the last 2 days, will try to get back on track tomorrow or Sunday. (will have to discuss it with my left knee to see if it agrees!:laugh: )

Hi, I did 15 minutes on the treadmill today. My knee wasn't happy but I was!

Hi I'd like to join this challenge. I need to try and start some form of exercise and walking is a good place to start. I have arthritis in my knees and around 100 lbs to lose. I'm going to look for a pedometer. Thanks for the challenge!
-
What you have said is so true! That's been my problem my whole life. So far my "tomorrow" never came. I will try to just think of today and see if that helps!
-
That's great! Thanks for the inspiration!
-
I'd like to give this a try... CW: 270 1/2 GW: 265 after 10 weeks Treadmill and or pool at least 3 days per week Be honest with my food diary I know my goals are small but I still have it in my head that I'll never lose my weight, so maybe, if I can actually meet a small chalenge, it might be the glimmer of light at the…
-
Congratulations! And thanks for the truly inspiring post. Maybe there's hope for me yet!
-
I agree with whoever said "thanks for starting this thread" I have been reading the replies and have been inspired! I'm on my way to the treadmill now and back to the aquatics class I have been ditching for a couple of weeks tomorrow! Thanks everyone! I have finally come to realize this site works if you use it and get…

Hi I have 100 plus pounds to lose and I'm just starting to use this site., though I joined it in June. Like you I am looking to find friends here that have around the same amount to lose and need support and motivation. Feel free to add me Cathy in Nova Scotia

I'm new to this site and love it, but the site has set my calorie intake, in my opinion, much higher than I feel I can lose weight at. They have me set at something in the area of 1600-1700 calories per day, then if I do exercise they add more calories...there is no way I would ever come close to losing weight with that…

Hi I'm from Nova Scotia, joined in June and today is the first time I have checked out the message boards!

Deb A: Thank you for the reply. I lurked at the edges of this group thinking all I needed was a place to write down what I eat, but that's not the case! I am 60, my blood pressure is up, my joints are hurting with every step I take! I have fought my weight most of my life, even had my stomach stapled back in 1985. The…

I have been a member here for a bit and this is the first time I am posting. I am finally starting to realize that nothing works unless I put some effort into it and I have no one to do this with offline. I know this is the middle of July but my goals would be: To come to the site everyday, to lose 4 pounds, to go to the…
