If it is just endurance I would try a different stroke like backstroke to build up endurance a bit. Try practicing flutter kicks while holding on to a kickboard instead of sacrificing form totally. You could also set a goal to swim in one stroke for a certain distance and then switch. My first day swimming laps I needed a…

I'm BabyKat on Rav. I decided to come back here and see if maybe I was missing calories in my paper log so hopefully I won't burn out easily this time.

I bought a pampered chef oil mister too. I love it, just enough to keep food from sticking or get the flavor with almost no calories.

I count only planned exercise unless it is a day spent out doing something. If I spend the weekend camping I won't be doing actual exercise, but I figure spending an hour hiking while carrying a child plus the rest of the day moving almost non-stop I need to eat a bit extra. I will count an hour of cleaning as exercise if…

You are doing awesome! If it makes you feel better I am only down 14 since January. I haven't been logging on here the whole time since I couldn't keep up with both this site and a private online weight loss group when things got too busy so I cut mfp until I could devote the time to it again (keeping a notebook in the…

I went for half mile walks while using crutches. I was out of breath and tired by the end since I had a few hills on my path.

I don't count mine, but I never have that many steps. I walk to gently for the mechanical pedometers. A whole day of camping and I got 1048 steps. That is so far off since one hour was a walk on the sand dunes we were at, and it only registered 100 steps. I try to just aim for getting as many steps as I can anyway since I…

I would get it looked at. You would hate to have it messed up badly! I sprained my ankle last year (October I believe) and spent some time on crutches (I have three small boys, plus the extra two kids I babysit for so it wouldn't work not to have a way to get around) I can still tell occasionally that it isn't perfect (I…

You are lucky! I have shoe envy! I want to try a pair to see if they would help me, but I can't afford them (saving up for a new bed right now) I am a barefoot kind of person unless I am cleaning the playroom. I have stepped on a rock and a lego recently with the same heel, both on solid surfaces.

I talked to an old roommate right after her first day working at a strip club. She was complaining about all the bruised sore spots. I think that is pretty normal for learning that. It always sounds like a fun way to workout to me, I don't think I am coordinated enough though.

This made me smile so much after someone in a group I belong to complained that we weren't losing like we were on The Biggest Loser. I had to try to explain that I can't lose 5 pounds a week. Though it would be awesome to be at my goal for April.
