I have exercised-induced asthma (for which the best treatment is, ironically, exercise.) If I use my inhaler, I can tolerate it. My daughter has EDS, but fortunately no POTS - she stays away from anything that puts too much stress on her joints. Swimming is ideal for her - would the extra buoyancy from the water help with…

It is difficult - I am assuming (and correct me if I'm wrong) that besides your concern for your husband's health, you're feeling vulnerable to some of the food items he's bringing into the house, and frustrated (and even angry) because it's so much harder if your partner isn't "in the fight" with you. Do you have some…

This weeks goals are to maintain my current exercise schedule, and increase my water intake. I find myself drinking less water when the temperature drops, and then experience more food cravings.

I've been there, and it is frustrating, but my advice is similar to what everyone else has said - there is no point engaging with her. Just keep on doing what you're doing. It's possible she's doing this out of ignorance, and truly believes you can't lose weight if you're not torturing yourself with a very restrictive…

Oh, I feel for you with the migraines. Those are miserable. (And I won't say anything against whatever helps you get through them.)

Hello right back at'cha! My goal this week is to do my workouts in the morning before the day has a chance to get ahead of me, to keep up my water intake, and continue to post EVERYTHING that I eat. Wishing everyone a great week!

My goal is to log everything I eat (amazing how much easier it is to say "no" to something if I know it will put me over my calorie limit,) limit my sugar intake, and exercise at least five times this week for an average of 30 minutes.

I'm happy to find an accountability group! I'm Linda, I'm returning to MFP after an extended absence, and find that I do much better when my focus is one day a time, so daily accountability will be a godsend. Two years ago I lost 42 pounds, but then had an injury, and slowly regressed to my old habits. I miss how good I…

Happy to be part of a group again. I need the motivation!

I'm in - I started MFP last February at 191 - lost a good chunk of that, but I've gained a few pounds back over the holidays and need to get back on track. current weight - 155 goal weight - 135 That will put me within five pounds of my goal weight. Looking forward to the motivation and accountability!

Amen to this. Measure success by improved stamina, strength, endurance, and energy levels. If your focus is on your appearance, you can be too easily discouraged or disappointed along the way.

It stopped me from... Wearing short skirts; Going sleeveless; Buying clothes that were cute rather than functional; Going on camping trips or hikes (didn't want to slow everyone else down) And finally, auditioning for community theater productions, and from contacting a casting director for extra work (and why? Because I'd…

You look fantastic!

Ditto, especially if we're going out to eat. I'll look up the restaurant menu, find something that looks reasonable and search for it on MFP then plan my other meals and snacks around it.
