If I do get off track, don't let it impact the rest of the day!!!!! Pick myself up, dust myself off, and get right back to the plan.

Kellog's Fiber Plus bars, yummy flavors and very filling and long lasting.

Welcome, you'll find all the support you need here at MFP. :flowerforyou:

Are you watching your sodium intake?

Plan for night time eating and build in some room in your daily caloric intake to have a healthy snack

It absolutely works for me. I always drink PLENTY of water, but I also have a fairly high sodium intake. I would still notice my fingers swelling when I walked or ran even though I was drinking at least a gallon of water a day. I started adding lemon (real lemon slices) to my water and my fingers haven;t swelled since, so…

I got the Blackberry Torch and MFP is sooo easy to use on it.

Weight from eating poorly takes 3 days to show up, so don't be shocked when (after a couple good days) the weight flucuates up a little. It will go away though, so don't fret too much.

Sounds wonderful (the meal and the memories created). do you think she'd like 7-up (or something like it) with some mint sprigs and raspberries in it? All finely chopped of course.

Agree, if you can't go to a doctor, then keep your exercises NO impact. build strength without putting stress on that knee.

It sends the topic to the "my topics" page so you can go back and access it without searching

Go to a shoe store (not a big sporting goods store) that sells multiple brands of shoes and get fitted with the right pair for your feet. I loved NB, but found out after a fitting that I should be wearing Brooks. OH MY GOSH they are more comfy. BTW I have a high arch also

I run alone; it's my "alone time." No one disturbs me, the phone doesn't ring, etc., etc., etc. Revel in your time. :happy:

Google isometric exercise, fab for toning:happy:

Initially it was hard for me, but I started walking to the corner Walgreen's (about 3 blocks away) when I had a break, and walking at lunch. My job may allow for more flexibility than yours, but EVERY chance I got I would walk somewhere, even if just around the office building. The great part about having an office job is…

Eat high calorie/carb foods for energy and net calorie purposes.

The C25k Cool Running website has some great before and after workout/run foods (they list chocolate milk as well).

The part that will be left over when I shed the next 80 pounds!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Your feet are probably swelling when you run, may need a 1/2 or whole size bigger shoe.

WOW, that is fantastic!!!! I hope to be a success like you.

boys or girls?

I underestimate my exercise calories burned all the time; it gives me a buffer in case any of my calories consumed are underestimated in the database.

Only two things work for me: 1) Stay busy, 2)Weigh Saturday morning and let the success of the week's good choices give you strength. Good luck, you can do it.

You are 2 years younger than my daughter, and I want to hunt down everyone of those horrible people that hurt you and give them a knock on the head. I'm so sorry you endured that torment. The key is that you did endure and here you are. It's time for you, so quit letting those rotten people hurt you by dwelling on what…

Well said, I didn't even know where to start :smile:

If you're eating a healthy low fat diet it won't help at all; if you're not it will keep you in the restroom with ghastly side effects. So, it's only legitimate claim to fame is that is keeps you on the straight and narrow (diet wise) out of fear of the consequences! :sick:

Go to bed :yawn:

I don't doubt you have, and some of the reviews said theirs were more accurate. However, the majority said it wasn't accurate, or that it was the same or very close to mfp. Other than mfp, I surfed fitness websites, reviews on Overstock, Amazon, and 1 or 2 others I can't remember off the top of my head. congrats on your…
