I grew up in Sheboygan, WI and currently live in Newton, WI with my wonderful husband of almost 20 years. He's from Minneapolis and always cheers for any team who plays AGAINST the Packers. Sundays can get quite interesting, to say the least. FR sent! :smile:

Try low impact exercises. I suffer from shin splints as well, but they are NOT aggravated when I use my Elliptical. Try an Elliptical Trainer. I don't think you will be disappointed. Feel free to add me, if you want!:happy:

Such an inspiration!! Thanks for sharing your story! Feel free to add me, if you wish. :happy:

Hmmm...that's a tough one, since I haven't really* given up any foods. Portion control is key! The only thing I could say that I have* given up is chips (cheetos, to be more specific). I started eating almonds to give me the "crunch" that I don't get from chips anymore.

I'm not restarting, but I am about half way to my goal. Feel free to add me! :happy:

Ooooo...GOOD LUCK with that! I smoked my last cigarette almost 5 years ago (November of 2008). So, I quit smoking, got laid off from my job, and then started school. Gained A LOT of weight. I know where you are coming from and am here for support if you need it. Feel free to add me, if you want. I REALLY hope you are…

I have the same problem too. I just work through it. The longer I exercise, the worse it is. Sometimes I move my feet around on the steps, or I stand on my tip toes for a little bit until the feeling comes back. Seems like a common problem that people have, so you are definitely not alone.

I think Lara Hudson is the DVD I picked up! :happy:

The first was when my doctor told me my sugar levels were a little high. The 2nd was when I went to put my belt on and I was at the LAST notch. So, instead of buying a new belt, I decided to do something about my weight. That was in February of this year. I've lost almost 40 pounds!! :happy:

That is AWESOME!!! After 4 1/2 years, I finally have too. It's a great feeling, isn't it???

You look AMAZING!!!! :happy:

Sounds like me a few months ago! I went to the doctor for my yearly physical and was told I needed to watch my sugar intake...and 32 pounds later, I'm still going strong! I would love to be your friend and help you out!! Add me if you would like and...GOOD LUCK!!!!

You can add me if you like! I'm looking for more people to add to my support group as well. GOOD LUCK!! :smile:

That's not just a minor victory...it's a MAJOR victory!! WAY TO GO!!!!! :smile:

GREAT JOB!!! You are an inspiration!!! :smile:
