That's the plan! We made our NYC plans while I was still sore from New Orleans. I knew that I had to do something to make walking around NYC more comfortable because even good shoes and braces couldn't give me endurance. :smile: We live in the South, so with daily activities, our treadmill, and being able to go on a walk…

Overdoing is a problem for me, too, whenever I want to accomplish something. So I'm either super unmotivated or I hurt myself from overdoing it--I got bursitis a few years ago from that! I ended up with a Fitbit. :smile: I am setting low goals for myself and adding 100 steps a day. (Keeping a written goal on my calendar.)…

I should clarify that the medication causes me to forget to eat. And I'm regularly tested for everything under the sun. I just spent a week in hell at the Mayo Clinic (I am surprised that I have blood left). My tests come back normal. I have neurological and connective tissue problems.

Mostly, I was looking to talk to other patients who have experienced this. I have talked to doctors, but life is very different when you average 250 visits a year. Obviously, I have discussed this with my doctors, since I'm with a specialist every week, even ones with dietitians in staff, but I was looking to connect with…

Bump! Kathy and I have been keeping in touch for awhile now. If anyone else with Cervical Dystonia is out there, hit us up! Kathy really is inspirational :)

I just started these classes and have seen a huge loss in inches. I keep meaning to wear my heart rate monitor to class to find the calorie burn, but it seems like every single class has a different excretion level, depending on the teacher, if I've done the moves before, and just how much I'm trying. Everytime I think I'm…

Mine is not accurate because I'm not good at logging my workouts. I usually don't log them since I don't bother to wear my heart rate monitor most of the time.
-
Sorry for posting. I think I figured it out.
-
I didn't hit a plateau or anything, but I really increased the speed of my loss when I started adding strength exercises. It took about 2 weeks to show up and I wasn't doing it every single day, but I lost inches and pounds. I'm not talking like going to the gym and lifting weights. I did some DVDs at home that used…

3 months in and 30 more pounds to go, but I'm already really happy!
-
Congratulations! That is encouraging to read for everyone who is trying to lose weight, too! Really, that is inspirational!

Like you, I am also trying to get in shape. When I was running my last 5k, I was impressed with how many kids were there, as we as adults who were pushing strollers and had another kid tagging along. I don't have kids yet, but I told my husband that when we do, I want to be that family who goes on early morning walks and…

So, I just did my first Slim in 6 Workout! It was great. If anyone else uses it, let me know!
-
I ordered the DVDs today and am excited to get started. Does anyone have opinions on the impact level of the workouts?
-
I do best with low impact workouts, due to a neck problem. Slim in 6 seems great, but I was wondering if I could get some feedback before I order it.
-
Yay! I'm 25 (about to be 26) and I've been at this with some success for 66 days straight!
-
I also love buying workout clothes! I got super motivated when all of my size Large pants started falling off during gym classes! I'm still waiting to buy smaller sports bras, though :( I think that there is something to having clothes that make you feel confident at the gym or running around the neighborhood. For the…

My college roommate had the same thing happen (she was 21 at the time). Anyway, she had been dieting and restricting her fat intake for almost a year. She was healthy, but just ate really low fat. She went on a weekend retreat with our college and ate two meals that were high in fat, for the first time since her periods…

Hi! Like a lot of other people on this post, I feel like I've been dieting my whole life. I lost weight in college and kept it off until I was diagnosed with a neurological problem that affected my activity level--and I stress ate--a lot. Sometimes pain made we want a whole bag of Reese's. Anyway, the people in my life are…

Just an update, to give hope to any women who are struggling with weight and are having their mirena out: I had mine removed 6 weeks ago and I've lost 9 pounds. I wasn't able to lose any weight while I had it in. It didn't fall off magically--I've been working very hard, but that same hard work got me no where while the…

I'm in for 125 miles. Last month I tracked 103 miles on my jawbone. Here is to getting ready for a 5k on March 1! I'll have to do the tracker later!
-
I am really sorry to hear that! I got annoyed when I had to wait 5 days!
-
My lowest weight has been 135, but 142 seemed to be the happy place for my body when I was healthy. I am recovering from/pretty much rid of Fibromyalgia and a hormone thing that hindered my weight maintenance. I am super excited to get back to 142! (I have also had a fairly large chest and a everything else, so I think…
-
So, I had my Mirena out a week and two days ago. I lost a little over a pound in a week--and I had been trying very hard for awhile to lose any. I was able to lose some inches, but the pounds and the bloating wouldn't budge. I will caveat this with saying that I started a birth control pill the day I had it removed. I want…

My doctor gave me a small pedometer to wear on my waist at first, and actually told me that I wasn't allowed to go over a certain number, but had to go over another number. I've since switched to an electronic one that I wear on my wrist, but maybe a simple pedometer could help! See what you normally do in a day and add a…

If you like to cook/have time to cook ahead: http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/breakfast-casserole It is amazingly filling! (Plus I love sausage!) My husband and I make two casseroles on Sunday night, cut each of them into 12 even pieces, then refrigerate and freeze it, so we each get one piece with our coffee every…

My husband and I do the same thing with pre-portioning. We bought an extra freezer with wedding present money and keep lots of pre-portioned, healthy food out there. So, if I am absolutely starved, I have to thaw and reheat extras (which gives me time to evaluate my hunger), as well as keeps me from eating the whole…
-
I am in the same situation! (I also got married two months ago). My husband was losing weight because he was only eating what I was eating, yet I was gaining from adding cheese to everything. We compromised that he can buy any junk food he wants, but he keeps it upstairs in his office. All of our meals are healthy (usually…
-
That sounds like a horrible situation! However, I do know about losing a lot of weight and keeping it off until an unexpected disease hit, which did lead to a ton of anxiety, depression, and weight gain. My weight has yo-yo'd for the past two years as I've regained part of my health, only to get worse again. I hope you…

18.7 to go :)
