I have lost a lot of weight walking. With just power walking I have lost over 20 lbs. I am now working some running into the mix. For quite a while I could walk faster than I could jog. If you work on your pace an consistency you will see the weight com off. It's a great way to exercise!

This is so true and an important message. When making lifestyle changes it's easy to get overwhelmed and lose sight of the big picture. Congratulations and good luck on the rest of your journey!! :flowerforyou:

Going to have to chime in on this statement. Breast are not fat, they can be but for some ladies it's all mammary tissue. There are even those of use whose breasts continue to grow well into adulthood. :noway: No matter the weight loss. Many woman who have lost weight or had a reduction will continue to see the size…

I read this yesterday. I think he is inspiring! I have often held back doing certain activities because I didn't feel I was god enough or would look ridiculous.

I put my iphone in an arm band but I wrap it around my hand. This way I have easy access to controls and the phone if needed, I don't even notice it's there.

It is my best friend! If you have a tight IT band it hurts like b**ch but then feels oh so good!

My replacement was the larger sized head and I've received my doctor's blessing to run, just no marathons (as if!) and no hip precautions. I recently started running this past May and I love it. Although my doctor…

I had my hip replaced a few years ago and my doctor gave me the go ahead to jog/run. He said as long as it's not a marathon...haha no worries there. "Also, 12 years is an eternity in hip replacement. " As another poster pointed out, many improvements have happened and continue to do so for hip replacements. I have a larger…

I started the C25K this spring and haven't looked back. I have bad knees as well and here are some things that worked for me, everybody is different. 1. get checked out, both my knees are bad but manifest their crankiness in different ways. What you describds sounds like crepitus, best to find out for sure so you know what…

One of my co-workers uses a balance ball. We got to talking and were searching on the net for other chairs that do the same but not so obvious or a little more "professional" looking. If you Google "German balance stool" a pretty neat chair comes up. It looks like a stool, think coffee counter at a diner, but it pivots.…

Way to go! It's the little thing like that which keep you going!

Good job! Keep the progress going!

Hi all! I'm 38 and have been a vegetarian since jr. high. It can be a challenge at first but eventually it will be second nature.
