Osteobiflex Question
I didn't know what category to put this in. Since it was related to my ability exercise...here it is. I have kind of bad knees. Have ever since I was a kid, but I manage to cycle, jog, hike, etc. But I do have problems with stiffness recently. Most likely due to the fact that I am 51 and things just seem to stiffen up, no…

Small steps add up big time!
I've been cycling for about 6 years. I do metric century rides during the spring, summer and fall months. During the winter, I hibernate. I hate cold, wind, and snow. By February, I'm grumpy, puffy and a little stir crazy. Even after riding for 6 years, I am terrible at hills. My quads burn, I end up pedaling in that…

Plastic Bags
Just a little rant. With the exception of yours truly, all the adults in my household are possessed by a strange obsession. Like most mental illness, unless you have it, you really can’t understand it, so I’m baffled and less than compassionate when it comes to their bizarre need to hoard plastic grocery bags. I’ve…

<<<Best Reason Ever
See that little guy? He wants to do everything I do. When his mom and her brother were growing up, I was very overweight and while I did a lot of things with them, horseback riding, motorcycles, coaching their tee ball and softball teams, camping, etc., I feel I shortchanged them. About a year before this little guy was…

The Beauty of MFP
Winter is very hard on me. I think I may have Seasonal Affective Disorder, or whatever its called. I tend to get depressed and lethargic and on top of that, its so stinkin cold and all my favorite activities...well...most...are out of doors. I have my grandkids during the day, so the only time I can really work out is…

Hashimotos
Hi, I got a friend request from someone who also has Hashimotos. I looked at it on my phone app and wanted to reply when I got to my computer and somehow I deleted it. I don't remember the name. I don't want her to think I blew her off. I'm always more than willing to answer questions and be supportive. So if you sent me a…

I AM GOING TO QUIT!
Sometimes you just have to know when to throw in the towel. Its been 7 years and I’m mentally and emotionally drained. I give up. I’m pretty sure I’ve lost all I’m going to lose. Nine years ago, at close to 300 pounds, I was leaning over, looking at something on a lower shelf at K-Mart, and the weight of my stomach caused…

Burn Calories in Bed?

A little help? Not fitness related.
Hi...Lots of people on here, so I thought maybe there might be someone who can give me some suggestions. My grandmother had some furniture custom made back in the 50's. She gave it to my parents in the 60's when I was about 6 or 7. They still have most of it, but I got the dining room table. I grew up with this…

Best NSV...kinda long..sorry
After losing 100 pounds, then plateauing for 5 years, then starting to gain for no reason, I was diagnosed with Hashimotos. The meds have allowed me to lose about 11 of the 25 I gained, but it's slowed down to about a loss of 1 to 2 pounds a MONTH! At that rate, NSV's are the only V's I'm having these days! I am…

NSV...Who I want to be...Pics
Yesterday, my husband I biked downtown to watch a friend of ours perform and to dance. It was hot and not many people were dancing. People were watching us. We are used to it now because we've been doing it for a lot of years. It used to freak me out. We used to hide in a corner somewhere while we got it figured out when…
