Just wanna whine!
I had bunion surgery Dec 15, and just can't seem to get my act together! I had both feet done, and have had trouble with shoes (sometimes they fit, sometimes they don't.) I've had trouble with weather (sometimes I can get to the gym, sometimes not; not that that should be an excuse; I do have a stationary bike at home.…

Progress Report
I just figured out why my tracker is showing no weight loss. I first joined up in October, just to see what this was all about. I had foot surgery in December, gained 8 pounds, and started up again as soon as the doc released me to exercise. So my tracker is finding my weight from October, and , comparing to now, well, I…

Crock Pot Yogurt
I have started making this recently. I admit, the recipe is not mine. I found it online on someone's blog. I use raw, whole milk and Greek yogurt to make mine the first time, then I use a little of the last batch of yogurt to make the next one. This will work for a while. If you notice the yogurt not setting up as well, or…

OK, This week's plan...
I am heading into my first full week of exercise since surgery on my feet. I am planning yoga for MWF, and aerobics on TTH. For Yoga, I will use Rodney Yee's Yoga For Beginners. On TTH, I'll hit the dreadmill for 10 minutes at something like 10mph, then swim for 20 minutes. Unless it gets REALLY cold, like it did last Th,…

I AM CHEATING TONIGHT!! :P
Pizza, beer, chocolate. Homemade crust and sauce, fresh veggies, yum, yum yum! Salad with full-fat dressing; 1 whole honkin' tablespoon of it. Local beer. Well, brewed 200 miles away, anyway. Just one. Dark chocolate, eaten sparingly but without regret. I'm Lutheran. Martin Luther said if you're gonna sin, sin BOLDLY!! I…

Just (Re)starting out
I just started again this week. After having lost 42 pounds with Weight Watchers, I gained 30 of them back over the past year and a half. The worst was in Dec/Jan, when I had bunion surgery, sat on the sofa for 6 weeks, and gained 8 pounds. But I'm out of my Aircasts, beginning to work out again, and want to lose 30…

Wow!
709 calories for breakfast today. I feel like a pig, but I had chocolate milk (I had just worked out and have had good results with this compared to Gatorade or something) 2 clementines, a homemade biscuit with 1T peanut butter, and 2T half and half (total)in my 2 cups of coffee. Whoda thunk?

Question about logging exercise
We are in NE IL, where we have been hit by the Snowpocalypse. :) I spent about an hour today, walking through the drifts to check on my horse, see our country road snowed over, and just plain check out the fun. How would you classify that? My heart rate was certainly up, but, of course, there's no entry in the database for…

Just another newbie...
Hi! I found MFP about three months ago, but I knew I was about to have surgery, so I knew I would be doing other things. Now that my recovery is done (I had bunions fixed) I can get going with exercise and I am really looking forward to it! I started yesterday, with a little yoga. After 7 weeks of sitting on the couch, it…
