I have had two fairly nasty knee injuries on my right knee (torn reflex muscles and torn ligaments). Whenever I am working out or doing anything physical, I always have my knee brace on. Definitely bring it to your doctor's attention though, and make sure that you listen to your body. If you push yourself to far, you'll…

Voted :flowerforyou:

IMO, are you taking any form of multi-vitamins or supplements? You're body may be working harder than it's use too, so it may need a little bit of extra support. I stopped taking mine for a couple of weeks and needed to drink a ridiculous amount of coffee to get me going again. Also, breaking up your food to about 5-6…

Check out this website. http://www.myfit.ca/foods_highest_iron.asp. Scroll down for a bit and it lists over 100 items to choose from. Hope this helps :)

Welcome to MFP!

In one of the screens, just before you choose "play", there should be the workout mode followed by the no flash card mode (needs to be unlocked). You will have to plug in your weight, and then it will count the calories burned for you. It only works on the regular play mode and not the break it down mode. You will also…

LOL This made my morning. I hope you rock your challenge and get the look on her face that you're shooting for.

I'm in sort of the same boat too. Looking to lose about 100 myself. Add me as a friend if you would like. Congratulations on committing to taking care of you!

Having the support of your MFP buddies can be quite motivational. You can do it! We all have faith in you and you are going to look awesome at your daughter's grad. Add me as a friend and we can support each other too if you like :wink:

I have Zumba and Dance Central. I prefer Dance Central (which also has a work out mode), but I would suggest you try both if you can. Both will get you sweating, and both are so much fun that you won't even notice that you're working out.

Is there going to be any particular name for this group so it's easy to find on the message boards?

Sign me up!

You might have to change up your diet or calorie count. If your body has gotten to use to it, then it has pretty much learned to maintain your current weight on what you're doing. I've head of a couple of tricks; you can either splurge for a couple of days on food, which should kick your metabolism up a notch when you…

The key for me is to make everything I'm going to eat the night before and to make sure I don't have any access to money. This way, I only eat the healthy stuff that I have and am not tempted by the evilness in my cafeteria. :wink:

I weigh myself every morning, and I know you should only weigh yourself once a week, but I like to compare how my actions of the previous day have effected me, be it good or bad. I see it as a continuous learning experience.

Congratulations! This is a great achievement! Keep up the great attitude on your journey. :smile:

I'm so in on this one! Thanks for creating the group! SW - 265 May Goal - 255 June Goal - 245 July Goal - 235 August Goal - well, you get the idea at this point Final goal *insert drum roll here* 200!!!

I have a four year old who loves taking part with mommy in her activities and helping her eat healthier. I think if I was doing this all on my own and leaving my little guy behind, I'd be feeling pretty guily too, but this just gives us one more thing to do together, plus it's showing him great habits to build for the…

Of course, to each their own, but I'm using the Curves diet and I'm loving it! There is a carbohydrate sensitive version and a calorie sensitive version, (I'm on the carb version) so you have to figure out which one would work best for you. It's a safe way to adjust your metabolism and put you in the right direction for…

Go by which ever scale you can avoid moving so that your data is consistent. For most people, that would probably be the scale. I also keep hearing stuff about the wii board being up to 10 lbs off either way, but I've heard that other people swear by them. Hope that helps!

Welcome to MFP! This is the best website I've used by far. The people are amazing and their is a crazy amount of useful information on here. Good luck on your journey!

Don't beat yourself up. You've accomplished so much already. We all have faith in you and know you can do it. We all get discouraged sometimes, and as corny as this is going to sound, sometimes we need to hit our low points so we can see how far we can push ourselves and see what we're really made of. That being said,…

I use True Lemon. They also make True Lime, but they come in tiny little packages that are really easy to throw in a bottle at anytime. I've actually gotten a few people at work hooked on it too, and I think it was someone on MFP that recommended it to me. Good luck on your water flavour hunt!

The Wii fit is a lot of fun, but I would highly recommend the EA Active games over it. I have both and I see better results with the EA Active. I also have the EA Active More workouts, which focuses more on your core muscles. But of course, too each his own. If you know anyone who has any of these, I would suggest you try…

I agree with 34at35. It's great that you're so eager to get back at it, but if you end up pushing yourself too far, you'll have to sit out on exercising for even longer than you would prefer. Who knows. It might even give your muscles the rest the need to get even stronger. Hope you feel better soon!

The Cooking For The Rushed series is really good, plus it breaks down all of your calories and stuff for you for every meal. Check out their website at http://www.cookingfortherushed.com/.

I completely agree! I prefer to start my day out with a workout. If I push it unitl later off in the day, I feel like my body just doesn't have the same "oomph" that it's suppose too. Plus, it's a great way to wake up and get you rearing for the day. Thanks for the awesome post! :wink:

Ditto! How do I get in on this weigh in group?

This might work out as a good one for you, and it won't feel like your family is really doing the healthy thing, as it tastes so good. :wink: This is a link for Curried chicken with linguine, http://cookingfortherushed.com/curried_chicken.htm. It even breaks down all the calories and stuff for you, so it's easier to enter…

I would highly suggest Wii Active. You can get add ons (additional game) if you get bored, and it changes your workout everyday. It also has achievements/trophies, so you can strive for those as well. My favorite parts are the 30 day plan that they have built into the game, plus that you can work with adjacent profiles…
