Ab targeting exercises for scoliosis sufferers?
Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have the spongy gut thing going on from the weight I've lost, and I want to start doing some ab strengthening exercises. I find sit ups/similar exercises extremely painful and bad for my back. I have a congenital form of scoliosis and the curvature is quite pronounced…

New to this group.
I am happy that there is a group covering this obstacle in weight loss too! I am in another group because I suffer from major depression/anxiety attacks, but I also have a couple of physical obstacles that limit my weight loss and how I can exercise. I was born with congenital scoliosis for which I've had 2 harrington rods…

Self Motivation...grab the 'spirit'! :0)
I'm really really excited! Why?! Because I'm within 2 weeks of my original goal (not goal weight, but the first 'mini' goal I set for myself), and I think I may actually do it!!! On Sunday Feb 19, I have a front row ticket to see The Band From TV ( featuring Mr Hugh Laurie! ), and it also happens to be my 'weigh-in' day,…

Cake Show n Tell

Dating as a single parent
I just don't know how to approach this tbh. I have 4 kids (full custody), and I just don't know how to start. Online method has been attempted several times, but never goes anywhere. I know it scares guys away. On one hand I empathize, on the other, a lot of the wrong ideas that they may have about dating a woman with kids…

Just a few more days! - [H]ouseMD fans?
Just looking forward to the second part of the season and wondering if there are any other fans of the show on here? What do you think of the season so far? I wasn't sure if the show would do ok with Lisa Edelstein leaving (Cuddy), but IMO, Foreman has slipped in nice (opposed to trying to 'replace her'), and the show is…

Eating better foods = 'bunged up' - why?!
Ok,...this is frustrating. Not for the obvious reason, but more so because my fruit and vegetable intake is much higher, and so is my water consumption. We also have next to no processed foods on our menus. There are a couple of us in the house that have started to watch our calorie intake/eating healthier, and she is…

New To MFP & happy to have found this group
Hello everyone. Happy New Year to you all! I am a 36 year old single mommy of 4 from SW Ontario.

The Paxil is not as effective as it…

Joining you for the journey
My profile pretty well sums up my intentions on here. I'm anxious to lose weight, but scared of the road ahead. I am having a very hard time coping with my depression lately, and although weight loss will help with it, it's also been an equal hinderance to me. I have a wonderful family including the support of my kids and…
