Get fitted for shoes that work for you, at a running store. My feet always thank me, and I have medical condition that causes flares in my plantar fascia all the time. Be kind to your feet.

I find myself in a similar circumstance. I lost 55 lbs over two years, lots of exercise and life style changes. Then in November I injured my wrists, then my feet started acting up, and pretty soon everything hurt and I didn't know why. Took the Doctors 6 months to figure it out, and an additional month for the medications…

I grew up in Philly, people are always shocked. Then I toss something out in my home accent, and they are always shocked.

Great job getting rid of soda will be an awesome step. And I like the idea of the step counter, phones have them now so you don't need a separate device. Good luck, it's about changing your life style not dieting. You can do this.

Way to go!! It must feel great.

I have Ankylosing spondylitis so my tailbone is a big issue and my hip joints. I started doing them on my bed, but I do lots of stand up ab work as well. And try a chiropractor, it can help if your sacrum is out of alignment.

A few pieces to make yourself feel good, and look good. It's good positive reinforcement. I gained 15 lbs due to illness and medication, now I am trying to get it off in time for my fall wardrobe. Good luck to you. My #1 rule is don't by pants that give you muffin top. This way when they give you muffin top, it's a huge…

Carbs in any form...my downfall.

Planning is key, what and when to eat. I agree 100%, if you need something off schedule I keep cucumber or celery handy for when I have hungry days and the plan is not filling the gap. Just starting back, so I am hoping my old tricks still work for me. I do four meals, I always need a second breakfast my AM Shake never…

Couch to 5 k is how I started. It's a good guide, some days you might need to repeat a workout some days you might skip on ahead. It's a great program to keep it real for beginners. And don't be cheap with running shoes, take care of your feet and they will keep you moving. Good Luck!

Start with something fun! Try a Zumba class or kick boxing...try everything till you find what you like. I started with an exercise bike, then started zumba and before you know it I was swinging a 25 lb kettle bell. One day in the back of the gym on the bike I said I want to be that gym witch up front chatting up the…

I lost 55 lbs, and recently gained back 15. A giant pot hole in my health and fitness journey. A little medical condition took 6 months to find out what I had, and now I'm being treated and back on tract. It's going to be a challenge getting back to where I was but I've come to far to not try. 10 pounds is a great start,…

AMAZING! keep up the good work and life style changes.

just started logging in again, getting back on the wagon and looking for support as well. Good luck! Never give up.

Keep trying different things till you find what works, not giving up is the most important thing. I thought about WW to keep myself in balance, but decided to just start logging here. Illness and extreme pain has keep me on the couch for the last 6 months, and I gained 15 of the 55 libs I lost back. Stopping myself here…

I have found my natural chiropractic nutritionist to be most helpful with road blocks, and balancing the system. Before my recent illness i would not have tried such a path in the past, but a recent illness has caused me to look for more balance and natural methods. It's amazing the changes when you are balanced. Good luck!

Starting back after a 7 month break due to undiagnosed illness. Never quit, even if you are forced to take a break! Getting back at it.

hope to have these issues in 15 more lbs! Good luck!

Count all the meat sodium, and a portion of the sauce. I agree, most of the sauce is not eaten. I would also try to avoid sodium the rest of the day.

BOTH, if cost is a factor and your are not ready to pay for a personal trainer. Try a few 30 day challenges and start with squats, then maybe pushups, and then abs, i do these sometimes with coworkers. This way you can save up, and build some strength before starting with a trainer. Then when you hit a road block in your…
