That pain is an indication that something is wrong. See a Dr. and have it checked. There are braces specifically made for support, but you risk making things worse if something is wrong and you are working through the pain.

Heh, the skinny people at my gym you can count on one hand. The vast majority are white haired or bald and lugging their O2 tanks behind them. At 350 lbs I was not even "the fat one". I've got to say it feels wonderful not to the odd one out.

Well, it isn't the 4th yet but unless something drastic happens by then, I also did not lose my 10 lbs for either the month of June or until July 4th. However, since I was forbidden any exercise for a few weeks, and still lost 5 lbs, I am content. Tomorrow I am starting Dr. Mark Hyman's Blood Sugar Solution 10 day detox.…

Joined in late June of last year, but started July 5th. Have lost 112 lbs and I'm nearin' 60. While I have been taking incredibly lousy selfies on a regular basis I don't have the nerve to post them. I was HUGE when I started, still big, have a long way to go. But I KNOW I can do it now, it hasn't been that hard. Better…

Last April I was almost unable to walk or stand due to arthritis. My Dr. sent me to aqua therapy and it was wonderful to be able to move without pain. Upon completion of the therapy I joined the gym where it was held, and did the water aerobics and finally lost enough weight to start to swim. Get in the water! Resistance…

Just a couple o' weeks off 58 here, and yup... it all changes, wrinkles and sags. Gravity sucks! I had numerous issues that led me to being a crippled, almost inactive slug, but started turning it all around last July. Have now lost 110 lbs and have rejoined the human race. Feel free to friend me. if you'd like. I've got…

For 1/2 cup quinoa I take a 28 oz can of organic diced tomatoes, drain the liquid and use 1 cup of that for my cooking liquid. (Liquid content varies per can, if it's short add a bit of water, it won't be much). While the quinoa is cooking I saute an onion and a few mini bell peppers in cooking spray, add them and the can…

CSW: 239 CGW: 230 Let us all make goal. Yeee hawwwwwwwwwwwwwww (and still have some ice cream)

What 7 year old boy would not love the opportunity to work out with his Dad? I suggest a few work out videos or dance games geared to both. Also with a "strength" run some mini-weights. Most kids love Zumba, and it's free on you tube, and just tossing the ball around the yard is free anytime.

I am a "treat" queen. Trader Joe's makes a line of incredibly thin cookies, where 8-12 run about 120 calories, depending of flavor. Those are awesome but usually 4-6 give me my fix. I am BIG on fruit, especially berries and pineapple, and if I want to be incredibly indulgent, I squirt on a blob of fat free whipped cream…

I am also diabetic, but have been doing so well with it, I've dumped half my meds and shoot up only once per week. Since I am not "dieting" but rather changing eating habits I don't deprive myself. I've been craving cheesecake and last week got one (small, and frozen) and had a piece which is way over my sugar allowance,…

The day before yesterday. Did lunch and shopping at Trader Joe's with an awesome and inspiring lady. It was great fun.

It is nice! Tastes like creamy green stuff. Eaten in excess it may cause your urine to smell a bit, and it is so yummy it is easy to eat in excess. Price of yours seems excessively high, maybe check your frozen food section first to see if they have a smaller portion in a steam in bag so you can try it. I find that to be…

Vegans get no bacon. Argument over.

I think she should definitely comply immediately after his brain and personality transplant. Otherwise she should probably run from the controlling anushead.

I'd be honest with her and say, look I like you, but I am trying to be healthier, eat better and work out more, and I regret the decisions I make when I'm around you. Therefore I've decided to do ____ and if there is time later I will hang out with you, but I will not be ordering pizza, I have my vegetarian whatzits with…

Got to have a can or two of tomatoes. Aldi has good ones as you say. Other than that I am really into tossing the baby spinach in there. Not so fond of the way one always sticks to my teeth. And I love the pre-cut matchstick carrots.

I tend to eat light before I go work out and search for a small cow to eat after. My go-to prior is egg beaters with salsa. Yummy and low cal

My top was was 365. Started here last July at 350. I've been pretty steadily losing 10 lbs per month. I still have an incredibly bad arthritic knee and don't walk real well, but damned if I haven't started swimming like a fish. Yay. Not only can this be done, once you start it really isn't that difficult, and it's fun to…

Society sends the message that chocolates and flowers must be given on VD if you love your woman. Your man successfully received the message and is showing his love. Chocolate will not kill you, just learn to dole it out to yourself in proper portions and for treats. There will always be food in your face, it's up to you…

You've just lost an amazing amount of weight without surgery. Take a serious look at how many people who have the surgery gain all their weight back within 5 years. It seems like an "easy" fix, but I don't see it as easy. What you need is a serious life style change and you've begun it. Carry it over and become the new…

For some weird reason, white foods make me absolutely ill to look at them. At the very least I must have black pepper on it to destroy the total whiteness. Usually I have it with a blob of salsa or fruit. I love it combined with pineapple. Sometimes I will make a well and splash ketchup or tomato juice into it and mix,…

As others have said -swimming or aerobic water classes. You may not be able to do everything the instructor does, but you can modify and do something. It is also worth noting that in the water, with no joint pressure, for a time you may be totally out of pain. I too often pinch that nerve, and I do stretches utilizing a…

So - you tell him, he goes for it, and you will probably have a relatively long time to wonder how soon he will do the same to you. If he did feel the same way, he would break his engagement. Since he hasn't done that, your question has been answered. Find someone unattached.

If they were real I would be losing 10 lbs per week, and most of them I have automatically halved. However, I have nothing better to use, and my Dr. does not allow me to eat my calories back, so for me, it's more a log of times spent, as well as allowing me more sodium and sugar in my diet so I rarely see the awful red…

My "Fat Dr." put me on this plan and does not allow me to eat my exercises calories back. His feeling is that people over estimate what they are burning and the calorie counters over estimate what is actually burned. I'm not a trained medical professional, but I would start by not eating the exercise calories and see if…

I am pretty crippled up and many exercises just plain hurt me. I swim and do water aerobics, and in turn it is making it easier for me to do things such as walk without intense pain. I'm also now doing land-mammal Zumba (as opposed to Aqua Zumba) safe in the privacy of my own home. Find what you love, and the rest is easy!

You already know what size shirt, pants, bra and panties you wear (or have stretched out). They all have a number. The scale is also just a number. It doesn't bite or berate you, just gives a measurement. After you record that number (and it can be for your personal self, not for the world -who "sees" it on your your body)…

Just because the earth made an arbitrary circle around the sun doesn't mean life stops. I did my 8:30 aerobics class, followed by a half hour of laps in the pool followed by an hour of water aerobics followed by strength training and a half hour of spinning. Then I went to the Chinese buffet and gorged on glistening bbq…

I gnaw on 'shrooms and grape tomatoes. Sometimes with Hummus
