Ummmm.......grasshopper (that's a drink isn't it) no wait!!! it's the keebler cookies - yum! Got some more house cleaning in for exercise. Geez, I've never had my house this clean! Mem50 - I agree with Vadir, that is awsome and it's wonderful you haven't gained. Nice job!! Wifenmama, we'll keep on you next Saturday - no…

Thank you for the new page - wifenmama. I love my resistance band I have a "professional" one I got from a trainer and it's my favoriite. The other have too much give in them (blue/red). Vadir - don't even think about putting the nasty looking cricket on here. I will rat on you and Katie will definitely have some words…

ok, new page, new page, new page, plezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzze!!! Sorry I haven't been around, it's been nutty in my household lately and that's a challenge in itself!!! It's so nice to hear you guys are really pushing yourself and succeeding! I can't wait to get there. I love getting those workouts in when those endorphines…

I'm really trying harder to not get lost by early evening. This weekend was my "travel" weekend (I go home to hang with my mom every other weekend - it's an 1 and 1/2 one way). I kept thinking of this board and how if I have faith, the strength in me will be there. I weighed in this evening a found I lost 1 lb. Let' hope…

Aesop101 - so sorry to hear about the break in, can't imagine how I would have handled it. Hopefully everything is going smoothly and you're stress level is okay. Vader - what the hell! Dang, I'm feel bad for you also, thank god the person who hit you was responsible. Not that it will help you with the crap you need to…

OK - sucks to be me. I can't exercise for two weeks. Back to wearing the black boot to help me heal my achilles tendonities. I am proud to say I wore my HRM watch and cleaned the two bathrooms, dusted the living room and family room and changed sheets on the beds. Even though I wasn't suppose to walk on my foot (he wants…

OK Diva, my three goals were not successful - but I was close! I only got in 6 cups of water, today I'll work for 8! I did complete my journal, but did not account for the BLT (6 crackers w/cheese). Which means, I did eat after 7PM :( So, I'm going to choose only one of the three above goals today and that would be my…

My goal for today will be very achievable and simple. I have three- drink my 8 plus glasses of water, log in and COMPLETE my food diary, and no BLT (Bites, licks, and tastes) after 7 pm. What's your goal Diva?

Thanks Diva for the invite, I am really looking foward to knowing we can do this and giving each other the support, incentive, and inspiration. I definitely know I can do this, I've lost 52 pounds in one year with WW, made goal and everything. A lot of that had to do with believing in myself. I've since gain 30 pounds back…

Yes, that is a victory. Posting this topic will relieve the tension - just getting it out there. I've been in your shoes and what I do to overcome it is to take a brisk walk and try to FOCUS on your breathing. I've done this at work on my break and when things piss me off at home I'll walk in my neighborhood. It calms me…

Ok, more people need to post so we can get to a new page and get rid of that nasty looking cricket but on the other hand I have lost my appetite and maybe should post that to my fridge - NOT!! Yesterday was my first day of a real workout - at least to the best of my ability with my ankle/foot isues. It felt awsome! Today I…

I just mentioned this to another MFP member. I started taking SAM-E about a week ago and can't believe how much better I feel. It's not meant for all, so if considering please research it. I've had two emotional issues come up since I've been on this and couldn't believe how I didn't fall apart like I normally would have.…

I watch my calories, in fact I upped it on MFP and had lost weight.

Okay, looks like the holiday messed me (and a lot others by the looks of it!!) this past 3 day holiday weekend. I did achieve a walk in my neighborhood. It wasnt much, only .25 mile but I did it! If it wasn't for the achilles tendon on my GOOD foot I probably could have gotten a mile in!! I also pulled out my Pilates…

I love challenges, I just wish I was well enough to REALLY workout. We could do something like post our DAILY days achievements like getting all your water in or a workout.

I got some mall walking in today, or better yet "mall strolling". I can't wait to put up my feet and throw an ice pack over the achilles tendon! Plus I broke down and bought a pair of pants for work, I hate buying a size 14. I figure if I started feeling good about my clothes, it will make me feel better about myself and…

Glad to hear you're improving everyday Bill, you'll be back on track before you know it! Two weeks will fly by soooo fast! I too have an improvement, I can actually walk VERY slow without pain in my achilles tendon!! If this keeps up I'm hoping to go to the gym on Monday (only if I'm pain free) and use the bike at a SLOW…

That's great you got your daughter to go to the gym with you, nice job! Slowly but surely you're getting there. Like, OMG Bill -how long before you can get back to a normal routine. I feel bad for you, My Physical Therapist indicated I have acute achillius tendontis, which could turn into chronic if I don't watch it. I had…

Hi Bill, glad to hear you did well on your surgery. Listen to your doctors and you'll get back on your feet in no time! Work out this week is not a go, I just tore the tendon in the back of my good leg and now need therapy for both feet. So, my game plan is to eat right and cut out the alcohol until I can get back to…

Boboli Thin Crust Pizza Crust is 140 calories. If you want to cut 40 calories off try the 100 calorie english muffins and doctor them up. It's like having your own mini pizza's! P.S. They also make Whole Wheat thin Pizza Crust and that's only 120 calories!

Friend support is soooo important! I've been down and out, ready to quit and a MFP would help me back up and get me on my feet again. Feel free to add me as a friend :flowerforyou:

ummm....it is tempting to go halves on the crickets. Lots of protein, iron, and calcium but too much fat content think I'll pass :happy: You did great on getting a good breakfast in after not feeling well, and painting is a great strength exercise!! lstnlondry - that is an accomplishment, it's so easy not to track…

I'm in my late 40's and although I haven't started menopause, I did grow "old" very quickly! In my early 40's I got biofocals, lost a 1/4" in height and was diagnosed with arthritis. Here I thought I was Superwoman and wouldn't have to worry about these things until my 50's!!! Now I have to deal with a slow metabolism…

Pi group reporting Went to Planet Fitness 3x in a row! I can only do the bike for now, but I pushed it to 30 minutes. Tomorrow I hope to increase this to 40 min, or maybe work it little more on the strength exercises. I've went over in my food diary on Tuesday, but today I stayed under. Gotta balance that out! Crickets are…

This is "Pi" group reporting: Went to the gym today and cleaned the house! With the calories I burned, I went over my exercise goal - yipee!! I can't do the treadmill or elliptical yet, from the looks of things it might be another 1 or 2 months. It depend on the brace I just got to help stretch my soleus muscles, maybe…

It sounds interesting, might give it a try. Thanks for sharing!

You need to treat yourself and really how much calories are in the coke? I say if you earned it in your exercise, you can treat yourself. Great job on getting down to just one can a day!

It was a gorgeous day here in NY - high 67 so tempting not to go to the gym. I actually dd a scary thing and went to the gym and on the elliptical. Not suppose to yet because my foot is still healing, but man do I miss the workouts. It felt so good even though my right foot was aching, I think I'm okay I did the RICE trick…

My blood work showed I was low and my doctors has me taking Vitamen D3 1000mg, 3 capsules a day. My doctor said theyare discovering the great benefits to Vitamen D. I guess there is a difference between Vitamen D and Viatment D3 and the D3 is the one you should go with.

The clothes in my closet!! They are all tight and I refuse to go into a bigger size!
