Here is a breakfast goodie I used to eat ALL the time then had to cut back. I would have a cup of cottage cheese and mix in a scoop of flavored protein powder. If you don't like the protein powder, the other thing I did was add either fresh or frozen blueberries and a teaspoon of Waldenfarm's sugar free blueberry syrup.…

If you had the back surgery last year, I would recommend staying away from the P90X for now. I had a car accident last year and started the program when I thought I was ready and ended up regretting it. Even though it was a year ago, I think it's too soon to put that much strain on your back.

Like some of the other posters here have done, if the item isn't here I find something comparable and use that for my food entry. This week I think I added 6 different foods that weren't in the database so that I can keep a more accurate count of what I have been eating. I like to stay very specific with my log so that if…

I literally carry 7 packs of different flavored gum. Depending on what kind of craving I have, then I pick out my pack of gum and eat a few sticks. I have found that the Extra, Dessert flavored gums are long lasting so those work really well. If it's an ice cream thing, I snack on the Fit & Active (Aldi) - Orange Sorbet…

You might also want to try stair runs. I live on the 3rd floor of my apartment building so when I don't feel like doing much, I just go up and down the stairs for a half an hour.

Is it too late to join the group? I just got my Just Dance in the mail yesterday and my entire family played it for about 3 hrs. It was soo great, right now I'm sore and can't even sleep. Enjoyed it so much I ordered Just Dance 2 a short while ago and would like to get in on the group. Looking forward to starting the new…

Until you lose a significant amount of weight, you can always use ring guards or ring wraps so they don't slip off. You can get them at Walmart in their jewelry section for about $6.

Here is a blog posting that actually had pretty good information on the effects of bananas for your health. On a personal note, I love eating bananas and some medications like water pills will have a label on them that you should eat a banana when taking the med. This is the link to the blog post.…

Thanks girlsaint, I won't worry about it anymore for now. I guess I'll be taking the AGGRESSIVE approach for losing weight. :bigsmile:

Ok, I'm starting to have a similar problem. I've been eating Nutrisystem food along with regular food and I've been staying way below my calorie counts. I've gotten the warning 3 times this week about my calorie count being too low. Now I saw someone said that I will slow down but that hasn't been the case. I work 2 jobs…

#12 Just so excited that I feel the need to share with everyone a little early. I went to the doctor with my daughter this week and decided to hop on that dreaded scale. Found that I have lost 5 lbs in 10 days. I was pretty excited when I saw it and told the doctor, who is also my physician. I had just seen her at the…

Not sure if I was supposed to be updating on each of my workout days. Was busy all week so I'm putting it in here now. Lost 2 lbs for the week. Did stair climbing on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday with 45 mins of walking on each of those days. Like I said, was real busy this week since I started a 2nd job so I've barely had…

Ok this one is going to be funny but it's meant in a loving way. My sister has told me "You *kitten*, what size are you now?" Then offers to give me clothes she can't fit into anymore. :) I'm seriously overweight but apparently I wear it well. If that makes any sense to you guys. lol

Ok, I'll warn you now that you will have to temper your butt a bit before it doesn't hurt anymore while riding. I bought a brand new bike at the beginning of the year and it took a while to get used to it. I belong to a bike club and we do some pretty decent miles on the weekends. I broke down and bought the bike shorts…

Try Knox gelatin, yes, the stuff they make jello out of. You can pick up packets of it in any baking isle. Take a packet a day in a glass of water. The Knox gelating actually helps in the lubrication of the joints and does help with arthritis. They do sell glucosamine supplements with the knox gelatin already in it. I'm…

I have the same thing going on at work. At night someone needs to go and do temperature readings around the building so I volunteer for that. During that time, I get a good 15 min walk and then go up and down the stairs as fast as i can 3 times, 3 flights of stairs. When I'm on break or lunch and not in a time crunch to…

Sorry, I worked for the holiday so ended up sleeping all day and couldn't get the kids off their video games to save my life. I'm actually going to the gym in the morning so will most likely start then as a finisher to my morning workout.

Congratz, that is just awesome! I'm way overweight myself and hoping to get myself down enough so I can do my first official half marathon on July 11th. *Keeping my fingers crossed!*

Happy New Year!

I'm in, I have the DVD and never started it. I guess it's time to start!

Welcome and sorry to hear of all the challenges with your little ones. I'm prone to being a stress eater also and wish I only had what you're trying to lose. Well, better late than never I say! There is a pretty good support group here but the hard part is making the change and sticking with it. I've fallen off the wagon a…

Count me in too, I need to get to some serious work! Would like to lose at least 10 lbs by then. Got my hands on the P90X and Zumba workout so I may do some of that and my cycling. :)

Yeah I've been bad at logging my food lately but been pretty good at keeping track of what I have been eating. It was about 2 weeks that I really stuck to the Nutrisystem diet and found that I was starving and didn't know why. Like a dunce, I never kept track of the particular calories for Nutrisystem and found that I was…

As EKarma put it, you really need to be careful with how much Potassium you're taking. I used to eat a lot of bananas and I started having heart problems and was accused by my doctor of taking diuretics when I really wasn't. Here is some info about the effects of Potassium: Potassium is fundamentally involved in a massive…

Well, starting Tuesday I will be in my first Yoga class. It's for older people so I think I will fit in just well with them. My back is feeling much better after a few days of walking. It's not so bad but it's still there now. :)

BoreEasily - My fear is mainly because here in my state we had a rash of deaths of patients that had their neck adjusted. As a result, they were dead in 24 hrs because it had severed an artery and the patients weren't aware it happened till they were rushed to the hospital. I know this is a rarity, but I've always been one…

Oh I forgot, I'm scared of chiropractors!!! Scares the hell out of my to have my back and neck cracked.

Thanks for all the great ideas. In response to the Shoes: The first thing I did was buy proper running shoes. I overpronate so I spent the extra money to get fitted for the proper shoes and insoles. Bought several pairs so that I could just swap out when the mileage ran out on each pair. Broken bones: One leg IS longer…

Yes, I have heard of it. My boot camp trainer would have us roll on the foam roller before and after exercises. It helps break down the scar tissue and loosen up the knots in your muscles. About 5 mins on the roller and it feels like heaven! Your spine also tends to realign itself also when you roll out your whole back.
