Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Crohn's and I'd love some friends that have it, as well. I'm still trying to lose weight but now I have to be extra careful that I keep my diet in check.

I don't have fibro, but I do have the arthritis and inflammation issue. I've found the same thing as you have about exercise which is to say that it is the only thing that helps me, especially the stretching! I'm so glad that you started this thread though because I'm really not that well informed. I knew a little bit…

I have chronic inflammation and very mild arthritis in my hips. My overall sed rate is high, but it fluctuates as well. Basically, I can feel it when it gets high because it feel like everything tightens up (in a bad way), like its hard to move, my hips feel like I have little pulses of lightening when I try to walk, and,…

People that are rude because they feel like they are having a bad day that everyone else should, too.

I just wanted to say thank you for posting this! :)

I'm so sorry. I know that if that had happened to me I would probably be in tears. There is no reason for him to be shaming you that way, let alone talking that way as a trainer. I'm not sure what advice I could give to handle that situation, but don't let that guy get you down. You can totally lose the weight and keep it…

Hi! You can totally do it! I'm trying to lose 105 pounds myself. I'm 32 with one kiddo and trying to get fit is just such a huge task. I love being able to check in on MFP though because it is really helping me stay on track. :)

Good luck! You can do it! That must have been so stressful being diagnosed but at least you know now and can work with it. I've been heavy most of my life, too. I'm trying to lose 105 pounds (and only 4 pounds in, lol). Feel free to add me!

You can do it! Feel free to add me, too. I'd love extra support/motivation and to give it, too. :)

peanut butter popcorn balls are the best. A little sweet, a little salty, and sooo delish. http://www.attunefoods.com/blog/2013/10/healthy-halloween-treats-easy-peanut-butter-popcorn-balls/ The calories depend on the ratio of stuff you put in them but mine are around 250 cals.

PS - I'm an emotional baker, which was sooo not good for my waste-line. :P

I hope you get to feeling better. Try non-doing outside and get some fresh air, or if you can't do that then open a window. I've gone through some crap, believe me, but if you can just focus on something else for a little while like a little project then you might feel better enough to move on. :)

I'm right there with you! Feel free to add me. :)

My podiatrist always recommends getting new shoes every year because once they are worn they don't have the same support. I've never heard of the mileage thing.

Amazing job! Fantastic loss!

@kommodevaran I'm not allergic, thank goodness, because I love PB.

When I've gone through break ups I've always turned to my friends, and Netflix. :)

Sun butter such a great idea! I've heard that its good to use because it doesn't have any peanuts in it but it tastes a lot like peanut butter. Is that true?

I never think of getting nuts at the grocery store! What a great suggestion. Thank you!

I love love love crock-pot fajitas! Ingredients beef roast (2) cans of salsa (2-3) bell peppers (1) onion Chop of the bell peppers and onion. Put the beef roast in the crock-pot, cover it with the salsa, and chopped bell peppers and onions. (It may look like you need to add water, but don't) Cook on low for 6-8 hours or…

You can totally do this! Having the momentum to RUN up the stairs is awesome. I would call that a great NSV!!! Don't let it get you down. Don't stop! :) I'm totally rooting for you!

Awesome little black dress!

What an amazing story! You are definitely inspiring. Great job! :)

You can totally do this! I've got a 105 pounds to lose, just starting out on my journey, too. I'd love to meet more people to motivate and support! :)

I'm totally there with you, but I have no idea what the solution might be. I'm a pretty positive person most of the time, but I think that just requires a lot of energy and when I exercise it's like all my willpower goes to that and when I'm finished I just cry. The only thing that helps me is to do things that make me…

I love shakes in the morning because they are super quick, but I like making mine with fresh fruits, add some green, add some yogurt. Also, if you freeze the bananas then the shake comes out extra creamy. However, if you're looking at 150 calories then these might not be for you because mine are usually around 200-300.…

Howdy!
