Amy 175 lbs 155 lbs New years plan: skiing Need some help with accountability.

Try Allbird shoes from San Francisco. Best shoes for bad feet ever! Buy on line. This is not a paid endorsement. They just are great. I want them to expand and get into a fancier shoe!

I've been on and off MFP for a couple years too. Now back at it. I'm looking really for only a couple friends, as I can't keep up if I've got a bunch... I live in SW denver and pretty busy with two kids, been married 24 years, work part - full time. I don't post alot, but log every day and if I see no one else "supporting"…

Great answer! I'm a pharmacist with Thyroid problem and this answer is spot on!

When my daughter was about 3 - 4y.o, she was a "bolter". She would walked next to me one moment and gone the next. After losing her at a school carnival, I bought a leash. We put it on her at home told her why and then carried it with me every where we went. All I had to do was remind her I had it. I never had to use it....

Whole wheat english muffin, 1 oz avacado and 2 egg beaters...

That's how I felt this year, but wanted to do it slowly... small changes into my life... I've taken a month off over christmas new years and really didn't gain to much... Ready to start again slow going...

I've been wobbly this past 6 weeks also, could use a few more friends! My goal: 5K in May under 35 minutes:happy:

I eat those also,, very good... But be aware of what a lot of fiber will do... :blushing:

Very Interesting post.. I think another key not mentioned is to diversfy your friends, explore different interests with different people. I was injuried 5 years ago and all of sudden couldn't ride my bike, walk very far, ski or do much of anything physical, all things I previously did with a group of friends. PLus I was…

You are incredible! Congratulations!

I'm right there with you.... Also dealing with a thyroid issues.. Slow and steady and maintainable eating and exercise is my mantra.. Friend me if you like.. I only can keep up with a couple, but a few have dropped so I'm done to one... :smile:

BRAT is it! Next add other bland food.. no diary

I'm impresed by your faithfulness... I've been doing this since early spring and stop now and then for a few days, but always come back. Not too much into the "friends" as many are very zealous and I can not sustain (nor desire) that level of zealousness; however, i do think this is part of my life now... I would love to…

I used it a couple times, thought it was really good, but it made my cramps so much worse I stopped.

I have had many of those same issues over the years.... Taming the self talk is the key. Read "Peace, love and the 24 inch waist" I also subscribe to a weekly email service (free) written by Lou Tice, called the WInner's circle. Lots of great stuff... He focuses on managing your internal beliefs by adjusting your…

Dunkin Donuts! All the way!

As long as he knows you are struggling and doesn't sabotage you, you might consider another outlet to vent and share your feelings. Men are put in a very hard spot, about their partners weight . You don't want them telling you are gaining wait so you have to believe them when he tells you are HOT. Many many many women are…

I have struggled with my thyroid for years. I had Graves disease (too much thyroid = lab TSH low) and then that was fixed by radiation. Now my thyroid (TSH) is barely in the normal range towards being high and weight loss very very difficult. This is very common. No magic bullet. . Get a good endocrinologist (not your…

Thank you! That's inspirational! I just can't fit in hard core, 2 hour work outs daily... I figure slow and steady..... and exercise 2-3 days per week.... Good for you!!!

Fantastic!!!! How long did it take you? How much exercise?

Walking for 45 minutes yesterday, when I really just wanted to sit.

Swim, put a pull bouey between your legs. don't kick. just drag, great upper bpdy work out. Also good physiical therapy for your ankle as it gentley stretches and massages the ankle.

Same thing here.... I figure I'm learning how my body works... it's "research" . SO many variables...... How often do you weight yourself? Try taking your measurements. If the scale hasn't changed, usually the measurements have.

Check out the web site for your HRM. Water resistent usually means to a certain depth level. I used to swim with my HRM all the time and it was a very inexpensive model. It also said water resistant. I would be more worried about the "watch" than the HRM band.

I'm exactly the same. I ruptured a disc in 2006 and have put on 20 lnlbs (on top of 20 extra already). So I have been able to stay active, just at a different level. My new motivation is to keep moving. So I don't go ride the 30 miles with my friends on saturday any more or ski the double black diamonds all day, but I'm…
