what a cool thing to do! I am so out of shape I wasn't sure I could even do 200 small circles but I did it. I am actually burning from doing it but I did it :) That was something so easy to do in that it didn't require work out clothes, a gym or worrying about getting to hot (hair and makeup etc) Thanks for starting the…

Just had mine checked for the first time...and only because I mentioned that that mother and sister had low numbers. My number came back as 19 and they told me to take a 1000 dose daily. Then I took my daughter to the doc for an ear infection and in discussing different things I told her about my number and she said...oh I…

I like that I am tall! and my eyes. Nice way to start the day thinking about something positive versus negative!

sounds good! thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the reponses. My GI doctor (after a colonoscopy and endoscopy 5 years ago) told me I have IBS. After the colonoscopy I was attack free for a year. Then I would have them once a month. It has now gotten to be more frequent and all they want to do is give me a perscription for something doesn't work much better…

At 46 I understand where you are coming from. And things are different for most people as they age. I remember hearing ...when you get older it's harder to loose weight etc etc. And oh man it was true. When I was 35 I lost 30 pounds in a matter of months by working out SOME (as in a time or 2 a week) and using a soy shake…

I am just coming back to MFP after using it almost 2 years ago to loose some weight. My family has gone through a lot in that time and there have been health issues as well....so I lost track of staying accountable for myself and just quit trying. Having support can make all the difference! I had MFP friends on here before…

2 miniature schnauzers :) they can make me smile on the toughest of days!

Thank you so much everyone. Sometimes I feel very alone. It's hard when you feel like you can't leave your own home because you may have to find a bathroom one mile from your house. It seems that milk and ice cream are triggers, even low fat ice cream or the healthy versions of yogurt based ice creams. Pork is out as well…

thank you so much for the feeback so far. Feeling like I have to stay home all the time or having to cancel plans at the last minute is really starting to drive me crazy. It's terrible to not be able to do the simpliest of things like pick up my child from school!

I like totalsoy. I purchased it at Sams but I think GNC carries it as well. Lactose free and glutein free. I would also like to find other options! I can't use anything that has a lot of lactose. So yogurt (which I LOVE) is out of the question :(

feel free to add me. I lost some weight in the past using this site but had a lot of family issues and went back to eating whatever, whenever. I am 46 and finding it harder to loose weight now than it has ever been in my life! But I'm back and need support and will be glad to support you!

Today is day 2 for me. I used the site last year then slacked off on logging my food. I contined to eat more healthy for a couple of months but then fell back into my bad habits. I found that logging my food really did make me pay attention to how much fat and cholesterol I was taking in. I'm older than you and know how…

I am re starting today and agree with you about needing friends for support on here! I didn't post anything to the boards last time around and tried to go this road alone. Well, I quit keeping up with my foods, then quit walking. So today I am back and would be glad to friend you. I don't have yet and I need the…

I started using this site and walking last year then quit. I am back today and trying to stay motivated as well. Your goal seem reasonable and I wish you the best.
