I love stories like this, it gives me some hope. Congratulations on your loss and hope for more to come.

Welcome, it's an awesome program.

I am also in the Military (Canadian) and I don't take these issues lightly, cause without the abitliy to run due to injury you're not deployable. Inflammatin of the soft tissue (shin splint) should be treated with rest to the affected area. You can put ice on it if it really hurts and an anti-inflammatory for the pain. It…

Awesome feel free to add me..:happy:

I work out 3-4 times a day (I have a physical fitness standard I have to keep with my job). Don't let that fool you I workout a lot but I was eating way too much even with that workout schedule. Feel free to add me for support.

Welcome to MFP and feel free to add me for support.

Thanks everyone for the pointers and I am taking my HRM back and getting a new one, I'll just tell the hubby it wasn't working properly...:tongue:

My hubby bought it for me it's one that goes on my wrist and it uses my heart rate prior to exercise, during warm up, during my exercise and during cool down to calculate my calories burned. OMG this is just way too confusing, maybe I'll just go back to MFP even if it's lower at least I'll be safe.

You'll love this site it's awesome. Pls feel free to add me for support.

HI there feel free to add me, you'll loose that in no time. I have no idea where it is that you live, actually never heard of it, guess I live a sheltered life here in Canada LOL :laugh:

You can do this, it's a great program with lots of support. Welcome :tongue:

You've gotten so many good points already and I agree with them all. If your not hungry and still need to add some calories then us OJ or apple juice to substitute for food, and chocolate milk is a great drink after a really good cardio workout it will help you recover. Feel free to add me if you're looking for some more…

Most of the time I wear shoes as previously stated the gym doesn't like me running around in my bare feet :tongue: For the most part when I workout at home I do it half and half cause I have had issues with my feet so for support I wear my shoes for cardio and high impact workouts this cousions my foot and not to mention…

Welcome to MFP and the beginning of whole new adventure. Please feel free to add me if your looking for a support group to start. Have a super day, :happy:

Welcome to MFP and feel free to add me, any and all support is good. You'll enjoy it, it's a super program. :smile:

welcome feel free to add if you would like friends/support

I was having a bad week cause I put 5lbs on and I looked at your post and I must say you are very inspirational. Congrats on the weightloss. You look amazing keep up the great work.

I am so sorry that you don't have the support that you so deserve in this new endeavour that your seeking. Did you not take vows, in sickness and health through good times and bad....well this is your health that your trying to make better and he really needs to be supportive. If he chooses to eat those foods that's fine,…

Oh Walt I'm reading your post and it brings me to tears. I totally understand where your coming from, I've been "plump" all my life and most guys wouldn't give me the time of day and the ones that did tried to control what I would eat which would make it even worse cause then I'd just eat more (emotional eater here). Don't…

Welcome you can do this.

Oh wow your turning 40 in Oct and so am I and want to have most of my 50 lbs gone by then too. Good Luck and if you need some support/friends feel free to add me.

That is one inspirational introduction, welcome. Add me if you'd like :)

Welcome to MFP this is an awesome web-page I just started over a week ago and I love it. Feel free to add me as a friend.

Thank you everyone, I never thought of the veggies. I asked a co-worker and she asked me if I noticed a loss "anywhere else" and sure enough I did this week but didn't even think of it "there" if you know what I mean. My sports bra that I wear for my cardio workout had to be adjusted. I feel so stupid thinking it would…

Welcome to MFP you'll enjoy this as much as I am. Add me if you want some support!

I agree with the post just made 100%. You can't run a marathon if you haven't practiced for it, so start small and work your way up. Add me if you would like some extra support, this is only my second week.

I could not agree with you more with everything you've got written down here.

First of all welcome to MFP it's been a rewarding program for me and it's my first week doing it. Second of all you'll get lots of support here but I have to be honest with you, I have no problem being support for you but somedays you may only get "awesome job" from me cause I am extremely busy with my career, family and…

Hi Adam, welcome to MFP (actually I am new too only started this week).

Don't give up, you can do this.
