  • I weigh in every day but I only log my weight when I hit a new "low". This has worked for me in a couple of ways. First, I've gotten used to seeing my weight fluctuate naturally so a little gain isn't that discouraging. I just drink more water or take longer walks if it stays up for several days. Only logging the "lows"…

  • Oh, I LOVE Disney World!!! We have been there 4 times and I can't wait to go back. The place is huge. You could be there a week and not see everything. I can't even imagine dragging kids around and having a good time...it is so much more fun and relaxing to just be there as an adult. I recommend the guide book "The…

  • I bred and showed dairy goats for over 30 years and our farm is called Another Mountain Farm. (Our animals are registered with "Another" as a prefix.) The goats retired before we did and we only have a few left, but I have always used "anothergoat" as a screen name. This is a great thread!

    in I survived Mexican food!! Comment by anothergoat April 2008
  • Since I'm from New Mexico I'm a Mexican food addict....I've had to figure out how to indulge myself on occasion. Beef or chicken tacos are around 180 calories each. Opt for corn tortillas instead of flour - corn tortillas are only 55 calories versus 150+ for flour tortillas). If you love chips and salsa, count out your…

  • They didn't list PF Changs Great Wall of Chocolate....over 2100 calories! I have learned to research the restaurants and pick out what I am going to eat before we leave home....what a shock it was to learn that items on the menu I thought were "good" were loaded with calories. (Especially those big salads.) Say what you…

  • I LOVE gardening, but I try to keep it simple and stick with plants that are low maintenance and that are tough enough to survive our winters (even though we are in New Mexico, we are at 7,000 feet -our temperature can easily dip below 0 and we get freezes through May). I also wait until Memorial Day to put out anything…

  • I think the key to exercise is to find something you enjoy....you will be more likely to stick with it. I have a couple of friends who joined a spin class - one loves it and the other hates it (sounds hideous to me). I love walking but hate treadmills, so I just walk outside and try to find new places to do it. I also…

  • Hi Dorothy and welcome. I started using MFP a month ago and what an eye-opener the food log is! It has been a huge help in curbing my mindless overeating. I eat much less and now I take the time to enjoy every bite instead of just shoveling it in.... Good Luck!

  • You are slim and beautiful and it's great that you are counting calories to develop better eating habits and maintain a healthier lifestyle. Hooray for you! But healthy and perfect are two different things. If you are doing all this so you can have a "perfect" body, you will be disappointed. What is perfect? Airbrushed…

  • Try the stretching, ice, arch supports and the ibuprofen/naproxen sodium first. They can really help. If you don't improve after a couple of weeks, definitely see a podiatrist. Mine was a godsend!!!! I developed severe heal pain in both feet 10 years ago (I worked in food service on my feet all day). My regular doctor had…

  • Congrats!!!! I had the same thing happen, the first week I was working out like crazy and being very careful with what I was eating and when I weighed myself...nothing. Argggh. So I've just hung in there and suddenly this week I'm down 4 more lbs. Makes no sense but I've come to realize that it happens in spurts and you…

  • I have a friend that shops at the Family Thrift store on Juan Tabo (next to the old Hastings near Constitution) and she finds some really amazing things there. This is a lady who is very particular about how she looks. She doesn't have to shop there, she just gets tickled when she finds something nice for next to nothing.…

  • I live in the East Mountains. My husband and I usually walk up here, though when the weather is too cold we sometimes go down to the Nature Center in ABQ to walk the Clear Ditch. I am also trying to swim twice a week in town. They have lap swimming M-F from 6 am to 9 am.

  • Hi Jody, I just started a couple of days ago myself. My daughter is my inspiration...she lost 25 lbs. doing Weight Watchers and looks great. She has also learned to eat a lot "smarter".....something I hope to do! Good luck on to you and your daughter on your new adventure. :happy:

  • Hi Everyone, I am so excited to have found this site. I started walking 3 to 4 miles a day a couple of years ago and lost 40 lbs.....but I am slowly putting the weight back on even though I continue to walk. I really need to get smarter about what I eat!!! Putting it all down in a journal really opens your…
