I have had many stones and my doctor recommends walking to help pass the stone. I'm sure with your discomfort you are not looking to do a boot camp type work out right now any way..but do keep walking...I have been told that it helps..I walked through trails while passing my kidney stone while on vacation, it didn't hurt…

Honestly, when I was smoking my workouts weren't half of what they are now ...I have so much more energy and enjoy the workout even more..especially when I wasn't thinking about when I was going to get that after workout cigarette. Just don't replace smoking with food of any kind...drink water through a straw instead...…

I get an MRI every year and so far never a lesion that's why no MS diagnosis. I have also had the bladder thing..it's soooo annoying. When that happens, I tend to go go go go...some people have the opposite. I can't go anywhere on days when I'm feeling like that. I have had to stop at a fast food restaurant every few miles…

I have been battling MS symptoms for 5 years now, no lesions, no diagnoses: therefore , I have a neurological CONDITION, not MS. BUt many of the symptoms and difficulties I get are very similar . I have been battling it with vitamins, eating right and just these past few months -exercise. I am feeling so strong and good. I…

You have MS it may have something to do with the tendon tightening in the back of the heel from the MS. Also sometimes at night when you are sleeping and totally unaware you may have your feet in a more pointed toe position especially if you are a stomach sleeper but you may also do this while sleeping or your sides. I…

You are right, as much as I don't want to be forty something, someone saw me worthy of being told that I am pretty...which may have been awkward because I am a forty something wife and the mother of two children...they were much younger etc...so I will take it as a compliment...I still want to be young again…

.." you look good for over 40..." Thanks

okay, this is kind of long...I do daycare and one of my daycare girls (5years old) was telling me a story about her Aunt Deb...she said "I went to my aunt Deb's house and she has a dog," she then asked me if I knew her aunt Deb..I told her I don't know her but I have heard of her name before from previous stories she has…

I love your blogs. The Self Esteem Snapshot one was sooo great! I really don't think much about how I look on any given day. I watch what I eat for health reasons and to try to avoid a large weight gain because of a recent smoking quit...I exercise now because I feel better with the quit and the healthier eating I have…

I too notice the smaller love handles and hip bone more prominent when I put my hands on my hips...so I am often seen standing with my hands on my hips...lol, just feeling... also I notice my arms and legs have gotten firm from the new muscles, instead of feeling like squishy marshmallow they feel firm and strong..I love…

That's the way to run it!!!!

Love this advice...

Thanks everyone...I will up my calories every day and look into changing a little about my workouts to see where that will bring me to on the scale..hopefully down : )

I find that I enjoy the smells of things sometimes more than the actual taste..to me apple pie never tastes as good as it smells..also cinn rolls etc...enjoy the smell...make that a special treat...I know it sound weird but I really do savor the smell and not crave the taste...

Thanks for posting this video- This will help very much :smile:

I too began this journey because I was diagnosed with a neurological disorder. I was so weak and just wasting away. I even began to lose nerve function in my right arm. I couldn't even pick up a dish with it. I decided there had to be something causing this disorder so I cut out most processed foods, started buying organic…

I have all TOM symptoms but no actual visit from Auntie..as I had an endometrial ablation two years ago. But I still get the bloating and cravings and this time I got a little discouraged and sad..I remedied that today by turning on some KId Rock and dancing like crazy during my work out...I'm even more bloated but I feel…

This story made me laugh so hard...I understand wanting to strip your clothes off if you have something in your clothes stinging you...my mom on the other hand would strip naked anywhere if she thought there was a spider on her!..All you would have to say is "Don't move." and she would automatically think "SPIDER" and…

I just decided to take " learn to practice witchcraft" off of my bucket list:tongue:

They make gummy vitamins for adults. My daughter's boyfriend eats those because he has trouble swallowing pills. I don't remember the brand off hand but they are in the major stores. Above poster beat me to it...:wink:

I put my scale away at the beginning of this week. I am seeing changes, feeling strong, gaining great muscle but the scale made me feel like I was doing something wrong because the numbers weren't going down. Now, I am a reasonable person, I know I am changing for the better, looking better, feeling better, but I was…

at 40 something, I'm now thinking of my next 60 years :happy: and I take your example to make them good healthy years! I agree- everyone here is trying to make a healthy change and should be applauded for that effort.

Tonight was supposed to be my cardio night but since I was so tired I decided to do a quick sculpt routine instead...once I put on the headphones with some good music- and did the routine I was feeling pretty good and strong so I went ahead and did a quick HIIT on the treadmill...just see what you can get done, you may…

Just did....

I thought you were physically beautiful from seeing your picture and after reading this post I also see you are beautiful all the way through to your heart....
