secrets:wink: I had to switch to bike-riding because of a bad knee?? I started riding yesterday and only went 2 miles. But talk about a great workout!!!! And zero pressure on my knees. I am totally grateful to any of those that posted yesterday to me mentioning the more low-impact ways of burning calories!! I was so bummed…

so down and feeling defeated:(
Ive been walking for exercise since I joined in Oct 2008. Something started going wrong with my knee, probably overuse, but I can't afford a doctor. I started walking 3-4 times a week and even went one whole week without walking. The knee has gotten worse so now, I don't know what I can do to burn the 400 calories:( I know…

Pushups, harrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd, LOL!!
I finally got down and did pushups today. I barely squeeked out 10, LOL! But I did it and tomorrow, I hope I can do another 10, maybe even squeek one more. I am excited to see how much muscle I can tone or even build by using nothing by my own weight. If anyone else here does pushups or other I would love to know how you…

calling all "alternative" medicine believers:)
I shared here a week or two ago about my knee and some thought gout. I don't think it is gout. I've read some about bursitis and think it could be that as the article actually said "can affect the base of big toe and side of knee" which is exactly where it hurts. Anyway, I don't take pills unless there is absolutely no…

Please take the time to read, I feel "driven" to help folks,
not just with weightloss, but yes, on this site, I want all to be healthy AND reach their goals including moi:wink: . I think this webpage I am going to copy here has to fantastic info. No, not everyone will agree, but I just ask if you are like me, and much more of a follower than a leader, to read. Sometimes I am too…

been sick 5 days now, since Saturday night
Can't seem to kick it. Stomach "flu" but no temperature. Haven't lost my appetite but it's less. Plus, whatever I eat, well, nevermind. My knee went weird on me(overuse Im almost certain)so I am going to start pushups and leglifts as soon as I have my strength back. Lately I've been spending time with the heating pad on my…

some of my best "friends"
in the kitchen: Measuring Cups Measuring Spoons Food Scale tiny "dip" bowls for dressings etc. so I can dip in just to get the flavor, not pour it all over my foods ie salads or vegies to dip 32 Ounce size glass or water bottle Rice-cooker(Uncle Bens cooks up perfect in mine, other brand don't as well, that I've tried)…

Help!
:cry: I have to cut back on my walking as I have some problems that aren't being helped by me continuing as I have. Burning pain in surface of the big toe, an electrical shock feeling and some skin numbness, possibly under skin also. SAME symptoms in leftside of left knee. I believe overuse has caused this, repetition that…

Fellas?? Or gals may know also................
What is the bottom line on what a man needs to eat in calories? I know the women(unless recommended by a doc)are not to go under 1200. Can someone shoot me a number? Im coaxing a friend onto this site:laugh: :bigsmile: :drinker: :drinker:

amazing, down another lb today!
I know the green team doesn't weigh in til Wed. but I got in the habit of weighing on Saturdays. Just so amazed at how this all works. Losing 9 lbs is just so new and wonderful for me I can't hardly contain myself!! Anyone with similar stats(weight, age etc)as me that is having trouble, I can share my "plan" with you that…

Really liked this article as it seems it's for all sorts of
http://www.sarkproducts.com/sally1.htm It was so long so I didn't want to take up that much space on MFP. I was doing research on HRM though and ran across it. It probably won't be to everyone's liking but it helped me and I felt it was worth sharing:wink: :bigsmile: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Have a great day all!!!…

Ok, Im tired of my dinners, same ole, same ole:(
When I shop, I buy chicken, pork, burger(93/7)fish, shrimp blabiddyblabla:yawn: How bout sharin with me some or your dinners that "don't" include the above? I already know a million ways to fix those with something but I need something that will give me protein, carb, vegie and whatever else I can fit in:laugh: :drinker:…

I just want to encourage EVERYONE that might feel down
I know what it is like not to feel "hope" about anything. This adventurous journey we are all on here, on MFP, is really such a blessing. Most of all because we all found the site. Or, for me, it was an answer to prayer:wink: My weightloss has been fairly slow, but, it's been healthy for me. If you are like me you want…

Being grateful
Im being grateful this a.m. Instead of thinking what I have to do to lose weight and be healthy, I am praising the God of my understanding, that I can do it. I have a brother that is paralized from the waist down, for going on 2 years now. He spent his whole life serving people, working hard, raising his one son, and then,…

I wish you could all just once, see my pup eat his food, LOL
I have never seen anything quite like it. I am probably more conscious about his getting a nutritional meal than myself:wink: :laugh: But he doesn't appreciate his food(he'd rather have a nibble of cheese or peanut butter, much like me:sad: sometimes). But here is the funny thing about the way he eats from his bowl. He…

sometimes I get discouraged about the areas of my bod
that look the worst and seem to be the "last" place I lose weight or show progress. I found this yesterday and I needed to hear it. Im sure there are similar or the same articles floating around somewhere but if it helps even one other person, Im glad I posted it. Have a great weekend!!! denise in Sams Valley OR PS I agree…

Go Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeen! Help with meal planning??
I found making a menu for the day is easier if I start with the things I know I will want to snack on, LOL!! Then, I build my main meals around those. If my meals add up to more calories than I would normally have, including my exercise calories, I add in 10 or 20 minutes of workout. Or, I can drop "off" some of the food…

Can I still get into a team?? I would like to participate mo

weird knee irritation
I first "felt" the same sort of irritation/pain(it does hurt at times)in my left, big toe. It feels almost like a burning sensation and is just sort of in a straight line/section on top of my toe. It only feels bad once in awhile. Numbness also. Now..........it is happening in my left knee:cry: I am concerned to say the…

this one but I've lost another pound!!!! Im gonna be back in the 120s before I know it!!! Thanks everyone for your help and encouragement, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw, gotta go change my ticker:laugh: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

feeling frustrated
because on my 4.2 mile walk I am not sure if I am close enough on "guessing" calories burned. I don't have a heart monitor, yet, and so I just guesstimate. There are a couple of stretches of road that are uphill but I got tired of trying to figure out what the incline was(6% etc etc)so now I just put down 4.2 miles of 4…

I was just wondering what to do...............
if your head starts getting bigger than your body. Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you, denise in Sams Valley OR PS Also, my teeth seem to be getting larger too:laugh: :bigsmile: :drinker: :drinker:

Has anyone ever helped a boyfriend(potential or otherwise) o
for you guys, helped a gal get this way of life?? Eating right and exercise? I see the Biggest Loser sometimes. Thing is, in all honesty. When you get to be my age, the men are sure further and far between. But there are some really great guys out there that just are so overweight. I know how to eat now and have developed…

well, the scale said 131 this a.m. so I am adding it back on
my ticker. Maybe I shouldn't change it if it's going to fluctuate. Do you gals all keep the ticker exactly where the scales say or do you wait to see if it's just a slight flux??? Love to all, denise:)
-
Ok, so looks like I didn't lose a lb this week
but the good news is, I lost another inch in my waist. So maybe it is muscle building:) I know the scales aren't always accurate in that they can't separate what is muscle weight, fat, water etc. I am not discouraged in fact, no matter what I weigh, if I am in "shape" then I am a success. I don't know if the 110 is…

edie got new scales(nwfamilygal)and I think she's rigged the
because they said I weigh 132:cry: and Im supposed to hit 130 this weekend:grumble: Or, maybe I built more muscle:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Besides, edie wouldn't do that to me, not unless she was sure she could get away with it

I felt compelled to write about
my "regime" for those of you that might be doing the same, and even, feeling the same as I do sometimes. There are lots of people here doing lots of different routines to burn calories, eat right etc. I walk for my daily exercise(well usually 6 days a week). My walking partner nwfamilygal and I were talking yesterday about…
