Achilles Tendon Cramp
Out of the blue I just started getting this cramp in my right ankle area (heel around where the bone is going up behind my foot..my husband says it's the Achilles Tendon). OH my how uncomfortable is this! I don't know HOW this is happening? For awhile now, I noticed I do some low impact exercises, my ankle with start to…

In a pickle...
I'm in a pickle. I can have a couple glasses of wine for a nightcap and consume 300 calories or more or have a couple Skinny Cow Ice cream sandwhiches instead. Which poison do I pick? Do I get a buzz for the evening or get loaded on sweets. Hmmm. What would you pick? And did I say pickle? I could eat one of those right now…

Yoga for beginners?
Since my New Year has started off terrible, I haven't been able to go to the gym as planned to start walking and getting some excercise in as part of my resolution to start getting this weight off. My excuse is valid; my husband has been tending to his father in CCU in the evenings which means I pick up our daughter from…

Celiac Disease ?
I have never been tested or diagnosed for Celiac's disease but the more I read and hear about how gluten affects the entire body, I am beginning to wonder myself if I might have a gluten intolerance. As long as I can remember, even as a child, I suffered from digestive distress. I constantly have to go poop and depending…

Off topic...but looking for answers
Hello all, I know this is off topic but looking for some guidance/answers. Has anyone dealt with a loved one suffering from POCD (Post Operative Cognitive Delirium)? Basically going "crazy" after a surgery done at a hospital. The causes are still unclear but certain people are susceptible to it such as older age, post…

Off to a bad start...
So the New Year rang in and for a week I was so pumped and motivated for MFP and starting my workout. Then....last weekend got hit with bad news; father in law diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer. While this has caused great strife for the family, I completely lost focus and found myself losing 4 lbs but due to not really…

Cancer Survivors?
Is there a group within MFP that is for cancer survivors or those living with those who have cancer?

New Year New Goals!
This group has been inactive all last year (mostly my fault) but looking to keep this board active for our local MFPers. Please share any good recipes, Buffalo finds, events, ect that can help us all achieve our goals!

Walking Shoes for Ducks...
I walk like a duck, so I must be a duck, right? Actually, I walk/run with my toes pointing outward; it's not too bad but I can notice it when I walk towards a glass door and see my reflection. My knees point straight and I recall always walking like this and even notice that my older sister walks like this too. I also have…

What did you throw out?
New Year's bring on so many cliches for wanting to be a better person to getting fit for the new year to come. I am guilty for falling into those same type of cliches to only set myself up for failure. We all want to be better people inside and out but I believe it starts making small changes. For starters, if you want to…

Sweet Potato Recipes
I have a newfound love for sweet potatoes. Not only am I am mesmerized by their burnt orange color and their sweet taste, I am getting bored with traditional "baked sweet potato" type side dishes (ie fries, oven baked potato) and even mashed. I am in the only one in my family that will eat them. Anyone have any good…

Curb This Appetite
....the safe way. Yes I can count calories and track all day long in MFP. However, I suffer from chonic fatigue and often cannot make it to the gym. Is there anything out there that can help curb my appetite and give me energy without raising my blood pressure or having crappy side effects?

Body By Vi (Visalus)
What are your thoughts on Body by Vi? A coworker of mine used it and lost weight in 30 days and has kept it off. He doesn't even excercise becuase of a medical condition. It is kind of expensive but I am not confident how this "magic in a shake" will transform your body? I found this on YouTube and they don't really…

Sunday Dinner...
What are you having? I never cut back or skimp on Sunday dinner since it's the only time during the week my husband and I can prepare dinner together and sit down as a family with our toddler. This meal is usually our heaviest all week long. Tonight is Bangers and Mash, brown gravy with onions, fresh string beans, and…

Starting Over...Again.
Subject line sound familiar? Well that has been me..all.year.long with NO results. I get on a this wonderful tangent of wanting to eat better, exercise, live life vicariously through others when I come to an abrupt stop. STRESS, WORK, and LAZINESS are part of the problem. But most of all it's ME and LACK of motivation. I…

LOVE Milk Seeking Alternative
I am a huge milk fat; the fattier the better. I have at least 2 cups at night before bed (helps satisfy late night hunger). I am partial to the 1% and 2%s and sometimes even skim but don't like the taste of skim. I've been wanting to try Almond Milk yet scared. I am afraid I won't like the taste/texture, ect. Anyone…

Reality kicked in today...
In an effort to not make myself more depressed today, I will keep this sweet and short. Today my husband, my 4 year old daugther, and myself took a trip to Letchworth State Park. We hiked 6 miles through sweltering 90 plus degree weather but that wasn't the moment of my demise. That moment came when walking the side of the…

Gym newbie
:laugh: OK so I haven't stepped foot in a gym in...oh...say like years! My new gym opened up and I walked in and became overwhelmed the moment I walked in. This gym has a huge studio with tons of cardio equipment, circuit training and free weights. I was mesmerized by the bright lights, the smell of fresh paint and 14 TVs…

Zumba shoes??
Can anyone recommend a good comfortable shoe to wear for Zumba? My Reebok Zigzags won't cut it. I have a low arch and find my foot movements very stiff and not comfortable at alll!

Bigges Loser Challenge
So I have enlisted a BL Challenge with my cousin and two of his friends. All males and I am the only female. We will be weighing in every 2 weeks on a Friday. Our goal is to lose close to possible 10% of our body weight. That means I need to lose 17 lbs! Does anyone know of any templates out there I can keep track and even…

Sweet Tooth?
OK, I've never been a sweet eater but lately I've been craving mad sweets. Does anyone have any healthy recipes they can share to cure this sweet tooth? Not just eat a piece of fruit either. :tongue:

POOP for thought *TMI*
OK, I'm not sure if this etiquette or not but since we are all on the same journey of weighloss and healthy living, how we get rid of waste is a naturual part of the process, and the most important. Becuase the nature of the topic, I don't think anyone really wants to talk about it. So if there is anyone out there who gets…

Body Cleanse/Detox?
I am staring Day 1 of the 7 Day Cleanse I got from GNC. I chose to do this becuase I feel if I go do this, I can do anything! I have fallen off the wagon and had fast-food overload this past weekend. Not to mention lots of wine. One thing I struggle with is alcohol. I've been a wine drinker for along time and I have to…

Help Me!
This morning I woke up and looked in the mirror and realized something: I'm just as fat today as I was yesterday. And the day before that. And I haven't done anything about it. I started MFP about a month ago and I have to admit, I was addicted. I logged on all day long, added friends, gave support, started my own Group,…

Healthy Trim...Does it Work?
Good afternoon, Every single morning on my drive into work, my local radio station (Kiss 98.5) promotes the heck out of Healthy Trim. One of the DJ's is the spokesperson saying he lost 80lbs. I was wondering if anyone here on MFP has used it, or currently using it and finding results? What are the pros and cons? I'm a bit…
