Alf...I'm sorry to hear you have something similar!! The more I read online the more I wonder about a tear too. I guess I will call my Dr. and go from there. I wonder if she will just order me an MRI or want to needlessly see me AGAIN?!

Curious....that all sounds really familiar and definitely something to think about. To get this diagnosis did you have an MRI or CT Scan? I've had x-rays, but they were "normal". I'm used to the aches, but this is new that I move a certain way etc., and it's a sharp pain is new. When it's sharp like that it takes me a…

I apologize if this is a repeat for my MFP friends since it's on my feed, but for the others. I'm having hip pain, any ideas? Here is a copy of the post from my feed.... I have had a particularly painful left hip for several years. My dr. has sent me for physical therapy (which never really felt like it was doing…

Happy Sunday everyone :) There are so many things I *should* be doing, yet here I am! We've had kind of a busy weekend, I can't believe it's Monday again tomorrow already. Went to the pool earlier with some friends, and when it was time for lunch I got a turkey burger, no cheese, no mayo...so that's something at least LOL…

Hello everyone :) I'm sorry I haven't been posting very regularly, I will try and do better with that! I was reading about several of us re-losing the same x amount of lbs, count me in that boat too!! Why do I do this to myself?! Oh well, downward...again. Do any of you belong to Planet Fitness? We starting going to a new…

I do Patient Registration in an ER

I usually eat breakfast at work, and the time varies greatly depending how busy work is. Lately I've been stuck on the Quaker oatmeal cups wth berries and/or nuts in them. For calories they range from about 230-300 depending which variety it is. They're so easy, and pretty filling. As far as what I drink...I have 1 cup of…

Goodness KellySue!!! I hope everyone is on the mend, and life settles down a little bit for you!

I am back after a brief (or not so brief) hiatus! I don't know what happens, but I am ready to get the scale moving DOWN!

Just wanted to add that mine are actually Hives, not just a rash, or being itchy. I even had taken a pic to show my PCP and allergist.....they said they were "impressive"....gee thanks LOL

I get exercise induced hives, BIG, itchy ones!! It isn't everytime I exercise, it's not if I'm outside, inside, or doing a particular activity, it's just totally random. I can always feel them starting to come on on my back/shoulder area first. My PCP couldn't figure anything out so she sent me to an allergist. The…

Hello everyone :) I've only been able to make it to the gym once over the weekend (I usually go Fri, Sat, and Sun), but Friday I got a pedi where they dug out an ingrown toenail for me and my toe is so sore! My job requires me to be in closed toe shoes and I work 10 hour shifts, so I thought I shouldn't aggravate it…

I had updated my "new" starting weight, but to get it to update I went into "check-in" and deleted all the previous entries up to my new start date. That seems to have worked :)

I don't know if I have ONE favorite, but here are a few that are on my workout playlist right now: Ke$sha: Blow Black Eye Peas: Boom Boom Pow Rihanna: Distrubia Trapt: Headstrong LMFAO: I'm in Miami Trick Pitbull: International Love Alexandra Stan: Mr Saxobeat Eminem: Not Afraid Cosculluela: Prrrum Daddy Yankee: Rompe…

Hi all :) I'm 48 and looking forward to getting to know you all. I've done MFP (and every other diet known to man), for the last 3'ish years my weight has fluctuated up and down between the 170's and 190's. I work full time, Mon-Thurs 7-5:30. I only have one child left at home and he is a Jr. in High School. I also have 2…

I used to belong to a big, fancy schmancy gym, but wasn't getting to go as often as I wanted to. I just joined Planet Fitness and love it so far. It's got all the basics and you can do $10/mo., $20/mo, or I think they also offer a flat fee for a certain number of months that you can pay all up front. Maybe you could visit…

JengaJess, thanks for posting the website with the BMR/TDEE calculator. I'm at work, so I'm kind of busy to really look at it at the moment, but definitely something to explore later.

Thanks guys :) I will play around with it some this weekend if I have a chance.

I'm above 40 (48 to be exact LOL), and I want to lose about 50 lbs as well...feel free to add me :)

Today I have: Some Crystal Light to add to my water String Cheese Apple Chobani Yogurt Kale & Apple Salad (lunch) Quinoa Salad (Quinoa, Cucumbers, Tomato, Cilantro, Lemon Juice...premade from Costco) A 100 Calorie Granola Bar I feel like I'm forgetting something else, but I dunno what. I just eat whatever when I have the…

You're amazing!

I'm new (not new, new, just starting over), but anyone feel free to add me....the more inspiration the better!

I'm starting over with the weight loss part of it, feel free to friend me if you'd like, we can do it! :)

I'm at work and I don't have time to read all the comments so I apologize if this has been said. I just have a couple of things....One is that we are ultimately responsible for what we do. She never claimed to be healthy or an example to follow. I'm not shocked that she is diabetic. I also don't think that she is using…

I live in Colorado Springs, CO. Our snow here is like it dumps one day and then by the next day or for sure the one after that it's usually all gone. It doesn't stay around long at all. We also have tons of blue sky even in yucky weather so I'm sure that helps :) I actually don't mind it. It's just for part of the year. I…

Wed QOTD: I would like to think that I am not influenced but celebrities, models, etc. In my head I know the pics are touched up, photo shopped, air brushed etc., but somehow it doesn't stop me from comparing myself. A pet peeve of mine where "celebrity" is concerned is The Biggest Loser. I know they are doing great things…

I do. I was the 4.0 total rule following student in high school who skipped P.E. But......I NEVER, EVER thought *I* would be the one saying this....it's growing on me :) I'm not a total gym rat, I don't go daily at 4am or anything. When I can get to the gym and either do my own workout or a class I do. When I can't I try…

I haven't set mini goals/rewards for myself....maybe I should though, hmmmmmm

Monday QOTD: I don't think I've tried anything toooo crazy to break a plateau. I did order and take a popular diet type pill that is advertised on the radio a lot. I don't know why. I KNOW this is not the way to lose and keep it off for the long run, but I guess there was a tiny part of me that hoped it worked. I didn't do…

I have a bit of everything! Here are a few.....Adele, Alejandro Sanz, The All American Rejects, Beyone, Billy Joel, Black Eyed Peas, Bon Jovi, Bruno Mars, Calle 13 (great for workouts!), Coldplay, Creed, Daddy Yankee, Dean Martin, Drake, Duran Duran, Earth Wind and Fire, Eric Clapton, Flo Rida, The Fray, Finger Eleven,…
