My new bike
My son gave me this bike, a giant expressway folding bike so I can load it myself and go riding whenever I want. My other bike is heavy enough I can't lift it to the rack and have to wait for my my husband to load it, but I like to ride in the cool morning and he is slow about moving in the morning. This is one happy ole…

Never give up.
I was going through my brothers photos and found a photo of I think my heaviest. It was about this time I went to the doctor and looked into weight loss surgery. I was sure I couldn't do it myself. You have to follow a pre surgery diet and to my surprise I lost 56 pounds, surgery was on according to my doctor. According to…

Pulled groin muscle
I pulled a groin muscle a couple of days ago which is pretty darn painful. When I go to the gym today would working those muscles help stretch it out or should I just stick to doing the weight machines on my arms and legs. I took yesterday off but it isn't really better, and, how long does it take to recover from something…

Roasted Radishes
I made roasted radishes last night from a recipe I got from WW's They were just awesome and will be a great substitute for potatoes, The roasting mellows them right out and on weight watchers they are zero points. Try them, you will love it.

Anyone doing the challenge this year? It is state to state I think. I am organizing a team from work and we start Jan 20. I will have a lead on my other team members since I hit the gym regularly but it will be a great incentive to buckle down and get her done.

Leg Press
I recently started using the free weight leg press machine as opposed to the circuit leg press machine at the gym. I liked it until the 3rd day and I screwed up my knee.

It's about the nutrition
I take care of many obese patients and many thin patients. One thing many of my patients have in common, I work on a heart floor, is terrible nutrition. They couldn't tell you when the last time they had a piece of fresh fruit or a vegetable. Many eat only fast foods. And that is gonna get you. Losing weight is great and…

Scale recommendations.
I usually don't do this but I have to recommend this scale. Eatsmart Digital Bathroom scales are rated 5 stars. I had a WW's before, but this one weighs me the same as at my doctors so I am sure of it's accuracy and their customer support is spot on for prompt replies when I wanted to find out how to re-calibrate it after…
