At Home Low Impact Exercises HELP!
We've recently moved and the roads near our house aren't good for walking. There are a lot of hills, turns and crazy drivers! I want to pick up where I left off and lose the last 30 some pounds I have to go. The only problem is I've got a very bad back and I'm not allowed to do anything jumping or jarring, and no running!…

Flooding? Anyone else in my "boat?"
Anyone else seem to have found themselves living with friends or family after this recent flooding in central PA or surrounding area from remnants of tropical storm Lee? Just curious. We live(d) in Bloomsburg, PA, now we are staying with his sister and her family because our house is unlivable. We got water 3-1/2' deep in…

Need suggestions....anyone have any?
Ok, I've been on MFP since January and right now I'm on the precipice of 30lbs, good huh? I know it IS, but I feel like there should be more by now. Now, I know that I'm better off if it comes off slowly, but it has nearly completely halted. I have lost only around 10-12lbs since the beginning of April....I feel like I've…

Low Impact Workout Suggestions?
I really want to find some exercise DVD's that I CAN do. I have a pretty messed up back and I'm not permitted to do anything that's high impact, basically no jumping and/or jarring. I try to stick with walking and the Leslie Sansone Walk at Home type things. Anyone have any suggestions of great workouts that might be…

Small victory, but it made my day!
So, I've lost 15lbs so far and haven't really noticed a difference yet although today I am proud to say that the brown American Eagle belt that has been hanging in my closet forever and was maybe worn once now fits! All be it it's on the very first notch, but it fits and fits comfortably...it made my morning =)

Anyone else have back issues?
Hello, my name is Wendy. I have scoliosis which somewhat prohibits me from doing a lot of different exercises. Also, recently I've learned that my lower vertebrae are starting to fuse to my hip. I see my chiropractor 3x a week and it's getting so much more bearable! Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone else might suffer…

Darn Girl Scouts!
Does anyone else currently despise the girl scouts and their delicious cookies? Ugh, I only bought 3 boxes this year (a HUGE improvement) and I want them gone! I look in my freezer and I see Tagalongs....YUMMY! Why do they have to taste so good? Those little girls are so cute and you just can't help but buy them, these…

Shakeology Cleanse...anyone ever try it?
I'm going to try the Shakeology cleanse on Wed, Thurs, and Fri this week. Has anyone ever tried it? I've never done any type of cleanse. I'm rather curious. (And dreading it as I do not like the taste of that stuff w/out adding extras to it, and you can't do that for this) I know it will do me a lot of good, can't wait to…

cheat meals...
Anyone else have cheat meals, days, whatever? I like to enjoy myself w/ my fiance' about once a week. Now I try to always stay within portion sizes but I will allow myself to have whatever I've been craving. He's a cook and works nights, so when I do cheat it's usually on our once a week dinner out. My biggest pet peeve…

Shakeology Questions...anyone else use this?
I just started using Shakeology on Saturday and have a few questions. I could definitely use some great recipes (I'm doing chocolate!) Has anyone else experienced headaches when initially starting this? My head has been throbbing since last night, I'm thinking perhaps this could be the culprit. What kind of results have…

Beginner exercise suggestions?
Hello everyone! I have only fairly recently decided to step up and do something about my lifestyle once and for all. That being said, I want to begin to incorporate an exercise program. I live in central PA where it is bitter cold and horribly icy outside right now, so I don't think walking is the answer just yet. I want…

a question about squats
I was told by my coach that I needed to do 3 things each week to add to what I was already doing. Basically, do these 3 things so much that they now become part of my daily routine, or habit. Anyhow, one of the things I do is squats. I can't seem to figure out how to put them in as exercise. I don't do them with any…

Just wanted to say "HI"
I too am relatively new to mfp, but so far I love it! It's definitely helped me to see just how much I was eating in the past, but not anymore! I've only started by watching calories, and doing 3 simple goals a week to add some extra in...I always park far away, am trying to stay more active in the evening as I am home…
