I JOGGED!!!!
So I started in a wheel chair, went to crutches and then a cane. No biggie. Today- I JOGGED!!! I did it! I was on the treadmill and a good song came on and I knew that it was now and it's was time. It was only thirty seconds, but I did it! I threw my arms up in the air and said "Take THAT You #&%@ing Wheelchair!" :laugh:…

Turkey Help!
I've looked everywhere and can't figure this out. I bought a boneless turkey breast from Whole Foods. NO solution added, no salt, nothing- just turkey. I put it in the oven with nothing added- just the bird. What the *$%@ is the nutritional data for that? All of the info I find is for turkey that's put in a 'solution' (ie-…

Low Sodium
I found that my sodium intake is through the roof- so I did some digging around and found a website that has a lot of interesting low-sodium foods. There's even a listing of low sodium cottage cheese- halleluiah! Hope it helps! http://www.lowsaltfoods.com/index.htm

Water Aerobics
I'm going to the gym with a friend this morning (hi you!), and I'm going to do water aerobics for the first time. What can I expect? It's fifty minutes long and I'm nervous about that. I'm taking along my glucometer just to be safe... but what is the workout like?

What Keeps You Going?
Hullo All, It's now about three weeks and I'm noticing something- I'm starting to lose my zest. I'm not sure if it's because I'm now eating well and exercising without really thinking about it (haven't fallen off the wagon) or if I'm reaching that point where it really does become a life-style change and not just something…

Sunburn Recovery Eating?
Hey all, Unfortunately I got a bad sunburn (my whole back, arms and chest) and I've been healing now for three days- still deep purple in some areas. Ouch. My question is- I seem to be craving protien and fats. I'm terrified of going over on my calories because I can't exercise since moving my arms is nigh impossible. I…

I'm not on a 'diet'- good or bad?
Hey all, I'm working on losing this weight and getting into a healthy way of life. I look around on websites and talk to people but I feel like I'm the only person on Earth who's not on a 'diet' or using a specific program. I'm not eating beet soup, no carb restrictions (just eating healthy ones), no diet pills or shakes,…

Holy Cow!
Yesterday was my birthday and we went to the zoo and the aquarium. We walked (I timed the walking time only) for six hours! It was at a really easy pace but I'm so proud of myself- I did it! Who knew getting off the couch was this much fun? :love:

Force Feeding?
I've been eating around 1100-1200 calories a day for about a year and now I'm trying to follow the MFP caloric guideline of 1800-1900. Problem is, I'm having a lot of trouble eating that much food. I know it will take a few weeks for my body to get used to eating again, yet I can't help but wonder if there is anyone who…

From Wheels of Steel- To Buns Of Steel
Hello All, I joned this site to help me get a handle on my caloric/exercise ratio and so far it is the best one I have found. I'm hoping to lose 75+llbs and I know it's going to be a long road. I have lost weight in the past (100llbs) then became ill and was confined to a wheelchair for a while, then progressed to crutches…
