  • How about trying something new? Or, if you only do the gym, try a class like Zumba - have a bit of fun??
  • Wouldn't say I'm addicted :-) but I've hurt my back too and have missed/will miss yoga and two sessions of aqua this week - very disappointed!! I've got some exercises (it's a recurrent problem) but if they don't work I'll go and see my osteopath early next week. She puts me right in around 30 minutes! Good luck with…
  • Good luck to you too Amanda! I like being able to use the Android app to scan barcodes, then you don't have to search through long lists - very useful :wink:
  • Haha, thanks for the tip!
  • I think it's difficult once you lose a routine. I'm off work next week, and not looking forward to having to be more strict with myself just to keep on track! But if you can get into a routine again, it'll become second nature. And your husband's right, you *have* done really really well - good luck! :flowerforyou:
  • Try not to look at it as losing 100lbs - that's what's always defeated me in the past because it seems impossible!! Try setting yourself small goals - perhaps losing a certain amount by the end of each month, or choose a special event. You CAN do this, just take it one step at a time. Best of luck!!!
  • DP, do you put the scales in the same place each week? I've got a ceramic tile kitchen floor, and I weigh differently according to while tile I use!
  • I swim too - bad knees so it's the best form of exercise for me in that way. I do breaststroke (unfortunately I've forgotten how to breathe for freestyle and don't want to drown myself!) and I do 6 lengths then take a 30 second break. I'm usually only in the pool for 30 minutes, but MFP says it burns 500+ calories. I also…
  • Hi Gracie I agree with Rubybelle, you shouldn't cut out the things you love! That's what's great about losing weight this way - it might not be as fast as some other ways, but it's about learning to eat in moderation, and that's something you can teach yourself. If you're a planner, how about planning your meals for the…
  • I guess there are no definite rules - just see how it's affecting your body and weight loss, and if you're not happy then do something about it. If you're still on track though, don't worry about it!
  • How about cycling? I have bad knees, so also find things like running painful, but I can go for miles on a bike! I think the elliptical trainer is also meant to be better for joints than running on a hard surface. What about swimming too?
  • Wow, that's amazing - well done!!
