I have used MFP before and then life happened and I got side tracked. I'm looking to lose 107 lbs I really need to succeed because of health issues and I can't do heavy exercise because of fibro, but I can walk and do some resistance exercises. I really do need a support group of friends so if anyone wants to add me I…

HELP!!!!!! I'm craving carbs like crazy I just ate some potato chips and it wasn't just one serving what can I do to get rid of this craving? I'm headed outside now to push mow my grass to work some of this off, I have a big yard Please give me some ideas what works for you?

Scott I'm so glad everything went well and praying you wake up pain free. Ka97 thanks and I think I'm liking the planks I feel it in my abs more than when I do crunches. You said that you are a teacher, I have a lot of respect for teachers my sister in law is a teacher and with the cuts and the low budgets the teachers are…

Praying for you Scott that the Drs find the sweet spot and you come out of there better than before. Tell your wife for me that I wished I lived next door so she could make me awesome meals too, sounds like she is a good cook. There are already good things coming out of your struggles Scott, you not giving up and staying…

I didn't get anything done yesterday I was so beat from the weekend and had a lot of pain in my muscles and joints, so I took a couple of aleve and a muscle relaxer sunday night and it had me out of commission all day yesterday. I don't do this often because of having a low tolerance to pain meds and muscle relaxers. I…

I love reading all the post from everyone, we have a lot of runners, swimmers and strength training and reading about all the activity that you do motivates me to be more active. I had a great weekend but didn't do as well with my food today had a bbq with family, but I still stayed within my calories. I will get back on…

Thanks ka97 I thought about doing that but wasn't sure if it would work. I am so excited and happy, since I have been in this group with all of you with your tips and encouragement I have been able to fight the false hunger and not over eat. My blood sugars were down to 134 today and that is quite the feat, my sugars had…

Hi everybody sounds like things are going good, my leg is better now and I have had a busy day. My 2 yr old grandson is spending the weekend with me and boy is he keeping me on my toes he is very active and ornery. Spent part of the day taking care of things here on the farm had to repair the gate on the goat pen because…

Cordianet I do have some dvds I had forgotten that I have that I can use that is low impact that might not aggravate my muscle. One is walking down your blood sugar that I had gotten at a nutrition class a long time ago. Thank you

Thanks Teeladog for the suggestion but I live out in the middle of nowhere on a farm so I don't have access to a pool. I have been stretching it today a little through out the day and seems to be feeling better, just frustrating that I'm motivated and I get injured, but I will stay positive about the situation. Tomorrow is…

I am so frustrated right now, last night I got on my elliptical machine I just got from my daughter, was only on it for a couple of minutes and I felt a snap in the muscle in my right calf, so now I am in pain. The chronic pain I have is in my muscles 90% of the time they feel like they are stiff and they are sore as if I…

Hi I'm new and I have been trying to do clean eating and making everything from scratch no boxed or packaged foods. I have gotten to wear I don't even go out to eat anymore because I want to know whats in my food and this has frustrated my husband but slowly but surely he's jumping on the band wagon with me. I am…

Thanks Scott, yes it is a struggle and I am type 2 the feeling of being hungry is the worst struggle I have I can eat a full meal and 30 min later my stomach will feel empty even growling but like I said I have to train my stomach to listen to me.

Hi everyone I don't have anything wrong with my thyroid but I do suffer from chronic pain and I am diabetic. I would love to join your group I am trying to get a grip on things and change the way I eat. Being diabetic sometimes I feel hungry all the time and crave sweets. I am having a battle with my stomach telling it…
