I've never had it but my mom did. The length of healing time depends on how bad you have it. The worse it is the longer it will take to heal and the worse it hurts :frown: If you are otherwise healthy, it won't take as long. I think it took my mom about a year to fully recover with the pain lessening as time progressed The…

Sweetheart ,don't be so hard on yourself it's only been 2 weeks. Cutting out sweets and fizzy drinks is admirable and a really great start to a healthy life as is exercising everyday. What I will tell you, and most other ppl on this site will tell you is to find something you can stick with for the rest of your life. This…

Binge on good stuff and lots of water. Drinking lots of water helps keep the bloat down If sweet is your thing go for fruits and fruit snacks, yogurts and even ices that are cos sweet and lower calories than ice cream (try turkey hill for that one). Don't forget your 100 calories snack packs If salty is your thing go for…

I'm a tea drinker all year round. Even in the summer when you make your own iced tea you can control how much sugar you pu tin and they flavor and all that. It's a great low cal alternative to soda. I do count it toward my water intake but you should be careful becuase tea is a natural diruretic.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm steak Sound like a great treat. You have inspired me. I think I'll have mine Friday night

Go you for thinking ahead. Just remember a few calories over isn't the end of the world. In fact I didn't log food all of Thanksgiving weekend and lost 3 pounds. I guess it's that whole zig zig thing. Have a great Christmas and enjoy the food!!!!!

I'm like you when I'm stressed I don't eat. Stress either makes my stomach upset or it's just one big knot. Just the idea of a plate of food makes me ill. Having said that you and I both know you still have to eat. Try small things like a piece of fruit or 4-5 slices of cucumber or a spoonful or rice or mashed potatoes or…

I now have a mallet/ tenderizer but I have used a rolling pin

I told myself that I am fully capable of doing my job well

I take a similar class and list it as genreal aerobics. The best thing to do, according to the ppl at the gym and the ppl on this site, is to get a heart rate monitor. That way your body type/ build will be taken into account and you'll get a more accurate count of calories burned

Wooooooooo Hoooooooooooo!!! :bigsmile: You ..... you..... you're good you Congrats and thanks for the inspiration :flowerforyou:

Luna bars or fiber one bar The have fiber, protein and are filling. Beware of the fiber one bars tho. For the first week or so you'll be gassy as your body adjusts.

I've been up since 3:45 but that cuz I had to be to work by 5. I'm here busy and sleepy but here :yawn:

Don't feel bad. I'm in the same boat except it's been longer for me. I gained some and then lost it and back again. Never major gains just 3 - 5 lbs which was probably muscle wieght ...and to be honest a little bit not eating well :ohwell: I have 18 more pouns until my goal and I will make it. The good news is today is a…

I'm on 1600 calories. Thanks for the tips I'll definitely check them out. I'm feeling not so motivated so every little bit will help :) Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Diet Journal

I know this will sound behind the times but I still love step aerobics. I got a step at Target (I think maybe Walmart) I got my stability ball there too. The dvds I use are Fat to Firm for Dummies (stability ball), Cathe Fredrich Basic Step (can be low impact) and Step it Off. That last one is definitely more intense than…

You may have to log the activities separately. Like calisthenics vigorous 40 minutes, weights moderate 40 minutes. Thats what I have to do when I do my stability ball routine. It may not be exact but it's the closest way I've found. BTW, way to go on starting a body pump class!! :flowerforyou: My schedule makes getting to…

1st: definitely praying for you 2nd. Don't panic yeah yeah I know that's hard to hear but seriously don't flip out. Yeah be nervous, ask questions, get the support of your most loving friends (that's us) but keep both feet on the floor. It could be fibroids - benign uterine tissue growth that cause heavy cycles horrible…

Congrats on your shift to a healthier life! :flowerforyou: I feel your pain. I work A-shift manufacturing but often get to work to cover end of C-shift (4:30 AM - 5:30 AM) Snacks - think fruit, cereal, those 100 calorie snack packs. As a person with a wicked sweet tooth it was a hard adjustment getting on the "eating well"…

:flowerforyou: Yipppppppeeeeeeeeee Skipppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Keep up the good work!!

I've got one on my lower back. yeah yeah I went with the "tramp stamp" I want to add on to the one I have. Would that count as a second tattoo?? Anyway, it kinda geeky but it's so me I had to do it. It's the integral sign with e to the xy power. It spells sexy in math symbols. ∫exy - it doesn't translate well here

Hi I'm 31, 5"10 and I weigh 205 (BLEH) my goal is a size 10. I know this site helps us track weight so I guess that would be around 175 - 170. I was put on hormone therapy a few years ago and gained 30 pounds in 4 months. After that I just kept gaining. I was 228 at my heaviest. So now I'm eating better ( most days LOL)…
