Obviously, as others have pointed out, you need to see a doctor to determine what is really happening. My lower back pain and muscle spasms were fortunately no more serious than alignment problems. Initial therapy with a chiropractor (now I just go in occasionally "as needed"), yoga, and core work took care of the bulk of…

Very awesome. I like that you're "restarting" at your new point... it means you're not ever looking back, just moving forward. :drinker:

Apparently you don't clean like I clean. Anytime I'm sweating, grunting, and end up tired... heck I call that "exercise". Bending, stooping, hauling, running up and down stairs, etc. - basically calisthenics. Now if someone is pansy-a$$ing their way around the house maybe folding a load of laundry and washing a few dishes,…

LOL OMG - Loved this. Did someone miss that class in high school, perhaps? And, wth? Is someone actually saying we shouldn't eat apples?

Everything everyone else has said times two. :smile: Thank you for humbling me and reminding us all that it's always one day at a time. :flowerforyou: :drinker:

You just need to keep looking for the right kind of friends, I think. People with similar goals or who are inspiring to you. I have a short friends list for a reason. :smile: I do go out to see how long it's been since some of them have logged into MFP. If more than 6 months - 1 year (depending on my mood), I will delete…

Indianapolis, IN > Home of the Indy 500 - largest single day sporting event (and probably party) in the world :drinker: > "Crossroads of America" - Tthere are a lot of interstates that converge here one way or another. Used to be rail, as well. > Capital of the "Hoosier" state. No one here knows what "Hoosier" means,…

My Polar FT7 gives me the calories. :)

I suppose it's what you classify as "diet". I use Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk because I like it AND it has fewer calories, but I don't consider it "diet". It's a real food - not purposely altered, so to speak, to make it low-cal, etc. I drink 1% Organic Milk because I like it. I don't really consider it "diet".…

I've been on a saute kick lately. I just toss whatever veggies I have in a pan sprayed with olive oil - may give the veggies a couple sprays, then sprinkle on some onion powder and some sort of spices - I like McCormick's "Vegetable Supreme" and Lawry's "Seasoned Pepper Blend". Good stuff. I also have a microwave steamer…

Actually, the opposite. I used to be able to completely clasp my hands. Now I can just get my fingers to touch. But, I'm older and have tight shoulder/neck muscles - I clench my teeth at night. :ohwell:

I'm 51 and I had no trouble (surprisingly, according to my doctors) losing weight while peri-menopausal. However, having been menopausal for around 18 months, the weight is creeping back on - and my symptoms (hot flashes, etc.) have been worse the last 6 months or so. I finally decided I just needed to be super-careful…

I have days where I don't eat a lot and don't feel like shoving food in my face. Honestly, I don't have many of those days, because if I did I probably wouldn't be on MFP! :laugh: So, if this is a day or two thing, no need to worry. Stick with healthy foods. If you feel like you need some energy, but don't want to eat,…

I was sitting in a restaurant, with my husband, looking over the menu. I'd just had my annual checkup and was facing the fact that all the numbers had been heading in the wrong direction for the last two years. I wasn't obese ("yet" my doctor said), nor did I need medication for cholesterol, diabetes, etc. But, it was a…

^^ Possible, so you're good for a Zombie apocalypse. :happy: Although there are great "rules" for losing weight, everyone is different and some people have bodies that are more resistent to weight loss for a number of reasons. I don't know if you've been to the doctor to rule out some of those possibilities, but if you are…

Definitely can see the difference! I bet you FEEL the difference, too! Whatever you're doing, you must be doing it right. Keep up the great work!! Can' wait to see your 6 months pics!

Not to mention the "boys" hanging out with it. I suppose it wouldn't be out of the realm of possiblity if everyone was very young and buff... and I had a spot at the very back, behind everyone else. Oh, and I could have clothes on. :ohwell:

Yep, love my PB2. Plus, it's just a cool idea for a good use of "waste" product.

Life is short, why pick one?! ALL the "bad" stuff!! The good stuff is okay because we have to have calories to exist and it provides us with nutrition. But, back to the "bad" stuff - Pop Tarts, Nutty Bars, all alcohol, M&Ms, Baby Ruths... I could go on for hours.

The A/C vent above my head. Not very musical. :ohwell:

Not a big loss? Look at it as a percentage of body weight. I'd say it was! Awesome change, too. Great job. Thanks for showing us "maturing" ladies that it's possible to be fit and happy with yourself without obsessing. :D :flowerforyou:

Midish 80s - The Cars. I liked their music (for "fun" pop stuff), but the concert was HORRIBLE. I'm pretty sure it might have been robotic manikins with a sound track playing behind them. Seriously, I don't think anyone on the stage said a single word ... just sang one tune after another, barely moving the whole time, and…

Just wanted to pop in after reading through the discussion and say I'm very impressed with your perseverance and frankness! You have the right attitude. Sorry, no new advice. It sounds like you're doing all the right things... following through on the various avenues, looking to your doctor for help and advice, trying…

It's Monday and you were bored at work? :ohwell:

:drinker: Excellent! I'm still waiting on my first.

You look great! Excellent work!!!

Ask your doctor "WHY?"! If you are not "fit", then maybe he believes there is cause for concern. But, if you are "fit", then wth?

Awesome job! Love to see posts like this!
