I have the same problem. Standing in one position is not an option. I have to put the music on so I can move to the music. Mine started after a then successful back surgery for a L5 S1 Herniated Disc causing sciatic pain so bad I could not walk and was in a wheelchair for 5 months. After the surgery I was able to do a very…

I have stopped counting for over a year and actually lost another 6 pounds over this last year. I stopped because I know from counting on MFP what each meal is I eat for the most part. When I am unsure I check, but MFP taught me to read labels and eat portions sizes that are meant to be eaten, not enlarged because it…

I agree with starting with your current weight and aim for the release of 20 pounds and then ask yourself if 165 is still your goal weight you are aiming for. Males have a tendency to release weight much easier. I find by following MFP, you actually get to "see" the amount of calories you are consuming in a day, compared…

My Heart Rate Monitor and my Tractivity pedometer that ended up being the best personal trainer ever to work with my Ego in a good way to Push myself out of my comfort zone and actually moving for 10,000 and more a day. I have released 18 pounds extra in the last year just by walking/Power Walking.

What a gift of life you have given yourself. You do look so much healthier. Happy Birthday and many more.

I use 1 cup of Epsom Salts and 1 cup of Baking Soda mixed in the bathsoak for 20 minutes. For me, even if others think it is an old wives tale, it works every time.
-
For myself Epsom Salt and Baking Soda, a cup of each in a warm bath to detox the body from the lactic acid and Arnica, which is all natural and used by mountaineers for muscle soreness. It works amazing both in a rub on gel and better with the pellets. It is made by Boiron. Definitely do a very light workout today to help…

I have a Polar FT4 as well. I like it because it is very user friendly and gives you all the information you need. Heart Rate, Duration Time Calories Burned, Time in Fat Burning Zone, Average Heart Rate and Maximum Heart Rate. You can also get batteries for this one instead of having to send it to the actual repair shop…

Bravo for you. Never, ever let other people's needs be your excuse to take care of yourself. I agree with talking to her and the whole house in a very calm manner to work with you for when it is okay for you to work towards a better health. Let them know up front how important this is to you. Also, did you know that if you…

I'm so glad I added you as a friend, years ago. I totally believe in your list and live by it.

:smile: There will always be nay sayers looking to find a reason for a debate Mer. I got what you were saying loud and clear and it wasn't ever to put down people that are blessed to release lots of weight and have a fit and thin body. You said what you did because you would rather be fit as your ultimate goal and not…

Honestly, I listen/read about people who have lost/released weight and coaches and what they tell their clients. The message boards at Beachbody used to be a huge motivation for me, but things changed when they changed their own format. Now, I hope to find YOU in WOWY knowing I am not alone, even though I am working out…

OOOHHHH...I have to try this.

It's all normal and like your friends have pointed out, it is also water, another natural occurence in the body when starting an active body changing program like P90X. Don't be afraid of the scale. Let it teach you to read your body, but let your clothes be the indicator of the changes in your body. Cheers to your health…
-
Shaandi I know so many people who have put weight on because of the muscle that P90X builds, which is a great thing, because it proves how much of a liar the scale is when it comes to what is going on in your body. Take your measurements and go by them instead and put the scale in jail for the first 30 days of P90X and…

It is just so great to read your positivity flowing through your writing. I have MS on both sides of my family with one Aunt who has been wheelchair bound for 50 years and going strong because of her attitude, much like yours. She will be 88 this August. My second cousin, my cousin's first daughter, was diagnosed 4 years…

Mer, unfortunately, everyone's metabolism slows down after 40, after 50, after 60....you get the idea. For myself personally, to stop the hot flashes/night sweats, I started with Flaxseed Oil, which I still take today and within a week of taking it, the hot flashes/night sweats had all but disappeared. Black Cohosh works…

You look so great and so much happier. You must feel so much better than you did a year ago too. Happy 1 Year Anniversary Transformation with MFP and your dedication and hard work.:flowerforyou:

Great post dleates! I agree 100% about everything you said and you are very wise to be looking into your research about menopause and use the tools you need now, before the fact. I wanted to share the link of a friend of mine I met online on the CBC message boards many years ago who started talking about her depression in…

I can tell you that making exercising every day, for a minimum of 30 minutes, a part of my life with no excuses gave me my life back. Literally. I am meds free and this winter, feel better than I have in many years mentally because I added doing Mile a Day in 2012 to my afternoon regime as well. Who could have seen this…
-
Excellent Post Mer. Every word of it is so very true. I know I started not liking exercise when I was in highschool in Gym Class. I hated those ugly blue one piece uniforms they made us wear and I could never, ever do a push-up so I would always be chastized for it instead of having someone actually show me "how" I could…

Hi everyone. Thank you for the welcomes and for the invitational adds. I apologize for not getting back on the message boards. Life was crazy busy, but I did manage to stay honest and log in. I need to change my weight because it was nice to see I had release a pound. Some of you may know I took on a Challenge from…

:smile: YAY, she's back! Thank Goodness for January 1st when life starts over. I'm PROUD of you Meredith.
