I'd take it really easy...do workouts that don't involve those muscles. Maybe some arm strengthening?? Good luck!

Welcome! I'm so glad I found this site. The people are so supportive -- and the forums have taught me soooo much! If you'd like some extra support, feel free to add me as a friend :smile:

Congrats! You should be extremely proud of your accomplishment!

I've said the same thing to myself many, many times over the years. You've done great so far -- You need to give yourself credit for the weight you've already lost. The support here is great, and the forum answers any questions I have. We'll help keep you motivated!

26 pounds is great -- Congratulations! You'll like it here. The people are friendly and very, very supportive. Feel free to add me as a friend, and welcome!!

I found that eating slowly helps. It took a while to train myself, but I start feeling full about 1/2 way through the meal. Even with smaller portions on the plate.

Try everything -- but whatever you decide to stick with, make sure you enjoy it. There's nothing worse than exercise being a chore. You should have fun with it :smile:

I've tried it, but had to stop because it got expensive and complicated. MFP is so much easier for me to follow. So far, so good!!:smile:

Welcome! My brother introduced me to this site -- it's been great! Good people with great advice and wonderful support. Feel free to add me as a friend. :smile:

Congrats! It's hard for Mom's with small kids to find time for themselves -- Kudos for you!

Welcome! My brother told me about MFP and it's been great. Lots of good people with great advice and support. Feel free to add me as a friend. I can use all the help I can get!! :laugh:

That's the best laugh I've had all week!!! And believe me, a LOT of us will relate :wink:

Welcome! There's a great group of people here.......very supportive! Feel free to add me as a friend!

Yes, how do you do a standing crunch!! I'm sitting in an office all day too.....any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome Alana! There are some really fabulous people here....they've helped me a lot already! Friend request on the way!

Good for you! The folks here are really great. Extremely supportive! Welcome!!

I had one....got rid of it. I'd rather walk outside. If the weather is bad, I use the Wii and work up a good sweat.

I use the Wii Fit....its not a perfect workout but it's pretty darn good. Also, there's Zumba and dancing for almost all systems now. If you can't get to a gym it's not a bad way to get some exercise in.

I've been using Wii Fit Plus at home....I get a good workout and can vary the routines so it doesn't get boring. So far so good!!

I started to become a little "obsessed" with weighing myself. I was stepping on the scale every morning! It was making me very anxious so I finally decided to weigh myself twice a week, on Wednesday and Sunday.

Though I've been trying to eat home made foods as much as possible, I keep Lean Pockets in the freezer "just in case". I've only gone into them twice in a month, but it's nice to have them there as a back up. Karyn
