Take it easy, really check how you are walking, placing your feet, and maybe slow down your pace a bit if it feels as if you are hyper extending....if the pain gets worse some voltaren (anti-inflammatory) might help a bit... Another thing is to make sure you walk with a good pair of shows with proper support - personally I…

Yes - yes - yes......eating a Paleo lifestyle does not mean we only eat meat......talking for myself I eat truckloads of vegetables, salads, fruit - and yes - healthy portions of protein..... 90% of what I eat does not come from containers with labels - it comes straight from the farm (or as close as possible) my…

I am a week from turning 52 - I have lost 125lbs so far - and had a knee replacement done during this time, so it is possible! Right from day one I refused to use my age - or physical limitations as excuses - you need to get your head in the right space - and have a "I can do this" mindset - every day!!…

Cut it in half - take out the pip - salt and pepper - eat just like that - perfection!! You can add it in cubes to salad.....but just on its own is best :-)

Trying to give some positive feedback here - you set a post with a link to Dr Oz, and then post this comment directly below.....recipe for disaster in my book....

High fives - looks great - you look great - and yes - make sure you share these successes!!

Love that smile on your face - it says it all - awesome job!!

Love coconut milk - it is definitely a bit thicker than cows milk, but so good for you!! I don't have issues with dairy, but love using it in my protein shakes, and curries, soup etc to make it "creamier"

This ^^^^ As plain as possible with salt and pepper - maybe a bit of lemon juice

^^^^^^^ THIS!!

Fantastic effort - love how you have turned your life around - and yes - you radiate that new found confidence - I see a model in the making ;-)

When I kick some iron booty in the gym (lifting heavy) it has to be ACDC :-)

Started at 320 - now 200 ....."after" pic was taken at 220

I love you both too - just on the 9/10/12 the OP linked to her success story 10 times - really!!

Me too - for the first ime this winter I actually found boots made for "athletic calves" - that was actually written on the label :-) So sorry - no tricks to reduce them - but there are boots out there for girls that can kick start boeings.....

Don't weigh every day if it freaks you out - it is perfectly normal for the scale to jump up and down from day to day - what is important is that over a week - or a month it goes down.... Here is a blog I wrote some time ago that clearly shows what happens over a full month....…

First 100lbs - 11 months - September 2010 to August 2011.....

Black dress - man it is made for your body!!

Ooohh protein smoothies!! Chocolate protein powder Coconut milk Blueberries ( or any other fruit) Baby spinach (good amount) Banana. Full fat yoghurt.... And good luck!!

FAT!! Nuts Nut butters (almond, peanut, hazelnut) Coconut anything (oil, cream, milk, actual coconut) Avocado Salmon Eggs Butter Olive Oil Olives edit - yep - looking at your diary you can up your fat and protein to make up those calories .... my diary is open if you want to see an example - I have a target of 1900…

So I just scrolled my mouse through 3 pages of this post - and my eyeballs were all over the page trying to remember the new games I should start playing to get higher calorie burns - yah - got my burn for the day sorted - thanks OP!!

I have done this workout on occasion before I busted my knee - all I can tell you it is a kick *kitten* workout - I am a blubbering piece of jelly by the end - but it feels soooo good!! The key with this for me is to push yourself as hard as you can - but you do get to a point where you just need to take those breaks - man…

Wow - very raw and honest!.!

Bump to read later..... It stays in your list of topics you have replied to :-;

Oh please think very careful about the Dukan diet - one of my pals on here used to do it - and landed up in hospital - not once, but twice!! She is no longer on MFP otherwise I would have suggested you talk to her... Personally I really question whether it is worth our health to go to such drastic measures. In the end of…

As someone that just had a knee replacement done I have obviously learnt a few things about knees, doctors and physiotherapists over the past year.... Personally I would go and see a good sports physiotherapist rather than a doctor (GP) - PT's specialise in this type of stuff, and if they think you need to see a GP (or an…

eeewhhh ..... must have been one of you on the bike next to me at the gym on Tuesday - boy was it an unpleasant 15 minutes - please think of the people around you.........please please please....

The whole article is very interesting - but to your question - page 20 gives you the answer to the carb cholesterol connection. ""........http://www.cambridgemedscience.org/reports/CholMythCamb.pdf

Oh for me a gift voucher to a really nice spa every time :-). For my 50 th I got a weekend away at a spa - bliss all the way!
