Anne PNW ~ WA I’ve been away for a long time. I cared for my dad who has passed. I’ve been helping mom. I cared for my brother who has passed. I help my daughter and grandchildren. Umm when did I stop taking care of me? I’m home now and had surgery in April which has been a fail. I can’t find any part of my body that isn’t…

I can understand where you are at in your title. I came on today to read the forums because that is how I am feeling but nice thing about feelings.........I have learned not to react on them. I find other things for boredom, comfort, frustration ect. I have many disabilities as you will find others on the site who have…

I am in just for today. 2/4 1. Just for today I rested my knee (pre-op Friday and surgery the 13th) Tomorrow is a new day. I will find something I can do to exercise. Thank you for this group.

I appologize for only seeing your post this morning. Are you still on the plateau?

I lost nearly 65 pounds. (don't know in stones but was huge!) Over a year I gained 34 pounds back. 5 pounds here 3 there, in little amounts that seemed not so bad but added up. Then reality of cloths not fighting or tight. I refuse to buy new ones. Now I have gone back. Exercise is a big key to me. I was saying all kinds…

Hi. I tend to loose weight more when in a group. I would love to be a part. I regained 30 pounds slowly over the last year. I am under a lot of stress and I am learning that even around friends and family I need to pay attention. My doctors want me at 145 so I have 62 pounds to loose. WOW! I just calculated and it sounds…

I read all the responses and I can relate to so many. I can also understand you because I am there too. I think both of us keep missing each other on the in and out. OK I laughed with carbs as heroin. YES!!!! I can't just eat one lays....it's the whole bag! The cookies, bread all of it. know your not alone. I also don't…

First...Scuba you rock! You have just been there and seen me through many life issues that effect my weight. I started "Leslie Sansone Walking DVD's" This is a good place to start. Here is a free link to her one mile. I started here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df2gn6-w0dE There are many of us who come from where you…

At 56 and weighing myself everyday since then.........just something I do in the morning. My sister who has always been a runner since High School told me your weight can fluctuate 3 lbs normally. Also, high blood pressure with a tendancy to retain fluid adds to this. My dad has CHF and must weigh daily. The best time for…

Coming from someone with high blood pressure, slightly enlarged heart, two 40% blockages in LOA, coronary artery desease and I started at being morbidly obese, I see a cardiologist. The intake of fats and what kind make a difference. I suggest a good physical before starting any diet. I am limited to 30-35 fats per day and…

About 6 months of not being on MFP at all, except for those I know in real life or have posted why they can't post.

I like that name Di :-) Hi there Ladybug! My name is Anne. I have many disabilities. You can read about them in my profile and how I deal with them. I will be honest with you. I love Jesus and my life is all about Jesus. I would love to be firends but first read my profile and you decide. You can send a friend request…

I won't pay for over processed food, caged animals that are processed for food, homes cleaners, cheap dog food, fad diets/pills/foods. I will pay for a good mechanic, massage, good shoes (a must), vitamin D-3 a must for PNW!!

I eat red meat sometimes. Ground beef is different as I am sure you know. I am fortunate enough to have organic grass fed avaible but that doesn't mean you can't eat it. If a meat is fatty, I put it on a paper towel after I cook it. Then I pat the top to get the excess fat off without taking the flavor too. So, if I was…

Loosing slowly and strength training are important along with lots of water. You can read about how much water our bodies are actually made of. Sweat isn't weight loss. I am 55 so my skin has lost more elasticity. I use Shea Butter, coconut oil, and homemade cream made with coconut butter. I use straight vitamin E oil on…

I don't know if you can call this southern or maybe it's mid-west hospitality, then again this reminds me of growing up in Florida. I just came back again from Oklahoma. I was going to the post office with a hand full of boxes. An eight year old boy opens the door for me and when I say "thank you" I heard "your welcome".…

I just had a BIG bowl of fresh picked strawberries. YUM! I have a banana every morning. fresh fruit at least two more times in the day that's besides the raisins in my oatmeal. After being very ill since 2002 from a head injury, I learned about health and nutrition. I also learned there are a lot of "experts" out there…

Diane, I just saw your post on belly fat. Cardio and core stregthening is what will do the trick! Planks and push ups and I do not know the name but I bring my elbow to my knee standing and laying down. There are many core exercises just find the ones that work for you. Scubanana, I'm sorry I can't remember your name. I am…

When I first started even walking, I could barely make it through half of a "Leslie Sansone 2 mile walk". I could barely raise my arms. BUT I had to get serious with myself along time ago and say cowgirl up! Maybe just maybe you picked the hardest workout in the beginning. The beginning is just that. I remember when my…

I took a serious rest day! I let this challenge just take over my life. Between lowering my walking/exercise for the last two days my back is feeling much better. I do have a competitive side to me. I have been changing my lifestyle since my cardiologist had to do an angiogram three years ago. At this time I am going to…

Week 4 Saturday Exercise Challenge - No Water today - 8 Under Calories - yes I walked 2 miles towards the evening walk challenge. My daughter called yesterday morning and asked if I would come over.
