  • Thank you both for your replies. I have Hashimoto's disease and am post-menopausal so maybe I am coming into this with weight loss resistance built in... But not impossible. I will just stay the course and be more patient with myself. I am very excited to be changing my primary doctor to someone who practices functional…

  • My issue is I wouldn't begin to even KNOW how to log a bad day. If I actually took the time to weigh and measure and think about what I'm eating then I probably wouldn't be doing it. A planned "cheat" is something different I suppose. I'm just talking about a day that turned out to be an emotional-eating day where anything…

  • Love at first sight. I was a belly dancer and he was the waiter at a Lebanese restaurant and all he could ask in English is if I wanted more mint tea. To this day I hate mint tea and at the time I kept pouring it into the plant next to my table so he would keep coming over. 32 years later, a 31 year old daughter and a 29…

  • I'm in - but my goal will be slightly less than 10,000 to start - I have to build up (knee replacement a year ago and not quite back to "normal"). How do we do this?

I had mine on May 24 (2011) and am back to work, driving, and doing almost everything.... but VERY slowly, in general, and with a lot of fatigue at the end of the day. I actually started a blog to chart my "victories" and it is SO helpful to look back to…

  • Walked the mall today. It's such a little bit but it made me feel SO good. So much so that I took the steps one flight instead of the elevator... lol... won't be doing that again anytime soon. Doctor said if I'm in so much pain to not do steps - but I had to just see... Maybe if I do the mall once a day and do steps for…

  • Hi everyone - Just joining (Ithis challenge AND the site!). My activity is severely hampered right now, but on a good day I can mall walk at least once around, which is "only" .75 miles, so right now that will have to be my daily challenge. Maybe in April I can bump it up to twice around! Looking forward to getting to know…
