Have you seen a good registered massage therapist? I ask because I had a rotator cuff injury to my shoulder which I lived with for two and half years. I eventually couldn't sleep on that side, lift up my arm beyond a certain point, let alone do up a bra. If I just turned my wrist the wrong way, I would almost pass out with…

Hi! Did you mean to attach a link? Sounds interesting...:tongue:

Soups are a huge part of my weekly diet. This sounds delicious. Thank you for sharing!

Great summary - thanks for sharing this. Most of it was validation, because I made it a point to make all of these items a significant part of my diet. Except for portobellos ... didn't know about that. Thanks! Love to find out something new.:happy:

Does the new scale come with any instructions for recalibration? If you recalibrate it ... make sure that it's at zero, then I think you should count on that. Make sure you are weighing yourself at the same time of day ... same amount of clothes etc. ...every time. Personally I think it's a good idea to weigh yourself in…

I got mine at Home Sense ... (I live in B.C., Canada)

Hi Denise, I'm also trying to lose weight and going through menopause at the same time. It is a special challenge because none of the usual rules seem to work, and it can be endlessly frustrating when the only way your scale seems to be able to move is .. up! Hang in there, feel free to add me as a friend if you would…

Oh I'm so sorry... that's a really tough one, and not an easy thing to offer advice for. My heart goes out to you. Just remember that your Dad will be needing all the support he can get, and you need to stay as positive as you possibly can. Maybe that will help you to stay on track .. for him, if not for you. Be as strong…

It's easy to do around family - something to do with regression, I think .. which includes old habits. Don't let it knock you sideways - you're still faithfully tracking, and this might even be a valuable reference for you in the future. Avoid gabbing in the kitchen if you can, or anywhere you can pick and eat without…

I keep hearing about this Greek Yogurt but can't seem to find it. Is it a product that you buy in the states or does someone from Canada know where it is??? [/quote] I finally found it at Urban Fare (the fat free version that is ... the full fat version is at the farm markets). Superstore keeps promising to bring it in.....

Thanks to all for the suggestions for good scales, will definitely pursue all. For Flynabster ... ignore the heavier reading, it's clearly wrong :wink:

Hi! Thanks for your reply ... I've posted a reply to the thread with my plan for the coming week, and will keep you posted. Please do let me know how things go for you.

Thanks everyone so much for their advice and support. So ... plan for the coming week is to monitor sodium levels (hard for me ... I'm a 'salty cheesy' person, rather than a 'sweet' person (hopefully just on the food level :happy: ). Will check out Robert Ferguson's website, and increase calories if nothing happens weight…
