I can do anything too fast, but i am really good now at knowing to stop something or do it differently. My resting heartrate varies a lot. its not…

It really keeps me motivated and I truly beleive all of it!! I am so sorry about your Multiple Sclerosis. My doctor sent me for a MRI when my symptoms…

I am so sorry about what you went thru also!! It has been an incredible journey for sure! We gain so much from an experience like this tho do we? It's a blessing in disguise in a lot of ways. I can walk, but not too fast. I tried yoga and slow pace strenght training and loved it. .I used to work out like a machine. GO go…

Amazingly, I never needed them. I was discharged with no prescription medicine at all and my neurosurgeon said it was a first. I was in GREAT shape before all this, and the success of this surgery and the rehabilitation was attributed to me being in excellent health otherwise. The nurses joked around that I was an alien.…

oldmomma , Thank you! even tho it was painful thing to go thru on all levels, i gained so much more from it. I have been truly bless thru it all :) I did try yoga and I liked it a lot more than I thought I would!

iloseityes, Thank you! The problem is that the tumor was in my brainstem, which control heart beat and breathing, and that being damaged, I cant do anything that will rise my heart rate too high. My heart rate will also jump from resting to 140+ in seconds , if i start running for example. I tried yoga and I liked it and…

Very similar goal here :) I also lost 40 pounds before and gained it back. Ready to lose it again! Feel free to add me

From Ohio here. I totally hear you. I lost 40 pounds 2 years ago after years and years of "trying". I have never felt so good about myself. Unfortunately I gained it back and ready to lose it again. Especially that I know what works for me now! Feel free to add me

I would love to help the best I can :) My name is Lisa. I am 36 . I have about 40 pounds to lose. I too was 120/130 before. I was never satisfied of my weight until i reached 180 pounds and lost 40 pounds 2 years ago... I was SO comfortable in my skin for the first time ever, even at 140. Long story short the past 2 years…

I will add you. I need the encouragement too. I lost 40 pounds in 2012 and was so proud of myself. I then had brain surgery that left me in rehab, paralysed and learning how to walk again etc thru the recovery i gained all the weight back because I couldnt do much physically and had to eat what loving and helpful people…

Depending on your musle mass, you can be anywhere between 125 to 145 pounds. I used to be size 8 and 120 pounds. I got in good shape and was still a size 8, but 145 pounds. The number on the scale does NOT matter :)
