I've had lower back issues for years and it was once recommended that I do pilates. After a bit of research I discovered that while pilates can be good for you they can also be very dangerous for people like me with lower back disk issues. I've been going to a great physiotherapist lately and he has been helping me slowing…

I did p90 several years ago and loved it. I got in pretty good shape with it too. Unfortunately I also gave it up for popcorn....and chips and dip and ice cream. And now I'm here. :) Good luck with it.

I'm not sure if I can give you all the support you need to ensure your complete happiness but I can at least try to encourage you through with your…

Hi. I don't subscribe to any one type of diet but just try eat balanced meals and stay below my calorie goals. It's been working for me. Good luck and I hope you can achieve all your goals.

Hi Tammy. Good luck this time and I hope you meet your goals. This place has really helped me.

I agree with most of the advice here. Bump up your calories a bit, try some light exercise to balance the increase in calories and stay off the scale for a few days because the daily fluctuations can drive you crazy. Good luck, believe your husband when he says you look great and enjoy what sounds like a great life you…

I will support you. Add me if you like.

I will support you as much as I am able. Sticking with it is the hardest part but like anything, if you can treat like a lifestyle instead of a chore it makes it much easier. Honestly though, it took me a year or more to realize this and there were some rough times getting there. Good luck and I know if I can do it so can…

My diary is open to friends. if this works for you feel free to add me.

If you're losing inches then I would say you're doing the right things. Weight can be so fickled because it can change so dramatically from day to day or even hour by hour depending on what we eat. If you're losing inches, feeling better and looking better then I agree with your Doc. Don't worry so much about the scale.…

I also decided to live healthier after seeing a parent with multiple medical issues because of his excessive weight. I do not want to be in the same position as he was when I turn 70. I may end up with medical problems too but i don't want it to be because I didn't take care of myself.

Yep. The same thing happened to me. I was slim my entire life until I hit about 45 and then I put on 70 lbs in 5 or 6 years. It started to effect my health so I knew I had to do something. Welcome to MFP and feel free to add me as a friend.

I check my weight daily as well. As mentioned, the trick is not to be alarmed or discouraged by the daily fluctuations you will see. These fluctuations can be as much as 2 or 3 pounds depending on what or when you ate the day before. Whichever way you choose to go, be sure you focus on the long term changes and not the…
