I broke my 5th metatarsal - spiral fracture, 9 months ago taking out the trash (I'll never do that again :laugh: ) I too am scared to get back to running for fear of making it worse and being stuck in the boot again! I started off slowly and every time I walk or start to run my foot is in so much pain I have to ice it for…

I broke my foot and it didn't heal. My orthopedic surgeon put me on Vitamin D 6,000 IU's daily. I started the Vitamin D and my foot began to heal. Who knew....

I completely understand, I haven't lost 70 pounds yet, however, I have lost 30 and I can't see a difference either. Instead of focusing on the UGH I am still fat....focus on the little things. For example, yesterday I sat with my legs crossed for the first time without my top leg falling off. What a victory. Focus on the…

Hi Bean! Friend request sent, congratulations on your decision to join the site!

Yep.

^^^ This

I also make mine at Christmas time and pipe them out into Santa hats and add red sugar (yep the real stuff) to the top for decoration :happy:

For all of those saying go to a doctor I completely agree. My husband is diabetic and he is 6 feet and was at 220, his weight started to drop and he was the "garbage disposal" of eating. He wound up with gastro parisis (sp?), end stage kidney failure and congestive heart failure within a year! He was going to the doctor…

I started using mapmyfitness it syncs with both the UP band and MFP. I use it primarily for bike rides when the UP doesn't record (that I can tell anyway). When mapmyfitness syncs with MFP it increases my regular exercise calories up by the amount that I burned during the ride. It's wonky I concur!

Congratulations!!! I can't wait to get to onderland!

Signed up today.

I'd join.

Good luck britthope14. It's been a lifelong struggle for me as well. I have been on and off MFP since 2009 and have had some ups and downs. I have a tendency to sabatage myself after I lose a little weight and poof my weight goes right back up. The fast food part is easy to overcome, google how they make that stuff and you…

I am a morbidly obese woman who wanted to start running. I downloaded the Running Mate C25k program and just started it. I got excited when I could run for 10 seconds then I had to walk it off, I might have skipped the 2nd run but then could do 30 seconds the next time. My run times are around 3.8 - 3.4 on my treadmill and…

I have just added you as well.

Ok so I haven't been good at updating the board. I am going to try to get better at that. I fell behind already because I have been sick for the past 3 days but I'm going to still shoot for my 40 miles this month.

May 2 - 1 mile week 1 C25k program I'm going to have to pick up my pace to hit 40 miles this month!!

I use the Jawbone 24, it's a great app IMO. I started with the Jawbone Up and recently upgraded.

Just got my Jawbone Up 24 please add me as well slamas75@gmail.com. I have started adding a few folks from page 1 but have to get back to work before the boss finds me :laugh:

I'm new to all this but I'm game for a fun challenge. I'll try for 40.

Hello, I just started the HMR program today. I chose the Decision Free diet. I would love to know if how everyone is doing and if there is an active team on here? Thanks,

Find an exercise that you really enjoy and possibly hate at the same time. I started doing Cardio Kickboxing and I hate going because I know it's going to kill me but when I walk out those doors I love it!

I definitely thought I would gain all 13 lbs back I was glad that I only gained back 4. I tell you what all the food that tasted sooo yummy and all those drinks really wasn't worth it because I feel awful today and yesterday I was sicker than a dog. I am hoping the water today will start to make me feel better.

Welcome tflores. This is the best site that I have found by far. It's easy to use, it makes sense, and the people here are very helpful and friendly.

When I have extra calories I usually try to eat popcorn. It's not terrible bad for me and it does fill up some add'l calories. If I go short one day on calories I don't worry about it. I just make sure not to make a habit of it.

Thanks you guys next weeek I start my exercise routine so I can't wait to see the inches go away too :)

I'm in but like the others I'm new here as well and need to know how this works :happy:

I am right there with you, I could consume almost a 2 liter at night and 3-4 cans of diet coke during the day. I have slowly started weening myself off now I am down to 3 cans per day and maybe one can at night. I started making small steps by drinking more water and making sure I had 3 water bottles between my diet cokes…

I googled it and found a lot of good recipes. There are breakfast recipes, (instead of oatmeal) there are side dishes you can use it instead of rice, etc.
