If I Can Do It...(NSV and SV)
Anyone can! I have been back and forth on MFP for YEARS! I'm here then I'm not. I'm down then back up. I made the decision in Nov. to quit smoking and with the exception of one slip up 2 weeks ago I've done excellent! Then Dec. 27 I got back on here and never looked back. Since then I entered ONEderland last week and I…

Saw Something on The Doctors. What's Your Thought?
The other day they were talking about BMI and other indicators of health. Dr. Travis was saying that BMI is not the best indicator of health. You can have a person who appears to be the picture of health (thin, appearing to be athletic, etc) but their numbers are off the chart as far as cholesterol, BP, sugar, etc. Their…

5K This Weekend
I have my first 5K this weekend. I am pretty freaked out about it. I am only on W5D1 of C25K and I haven't even run consistently for the 5 weeks. I started this in January then had surgery. Then picked up again then got sick. Then I just plain slacked. Last week my hubby ever so gently kicked me in the butt and I got back…

Glutened Myself - Never Again!
Last weekend as some of you know I did the kidney foundation walk and all they had there to eat was Subway. I took the bread off a sub and ate it and found out exactly how sensitive I am! I felt bad most of the week but Friday...WHAMMO!! Sicker than a dog! I vomited for over an hour! I read that the longer you go between…

Smoking Help?
Hi all! I need some help here. Gonna try to make this as short as I can. I smoked about a pack a day for about 12 years. Then I met my hubby and he doesn't smoke and I didn't smoke around him. Eventually he was around almost all the time and I just quit. A few years ago, I started smoking only when I went out which was…

Work-out Fever Finally Kicking In!
I always hear people talking about WANTING to exercise and always thought to myself "uhm no way!" I started c25k in January and did it for 3 weeks till I had surgery in Feb. I finally got back into it last week and I'm loving it! It has also been unusually nice here in Ohio and I've gotten my bike out. I'm now finding…

Anti-NSV :(
So we were at my mom's for breakfast this morning. My 7 year old comes up to me and says "guess what I just told Issy." (that's what he calls my daughter) I say "what?" He goes "I told her you're a big fat lady." Wow! What a slam to the ego! I know he's 7 and doesn't realize the full affect of what he said but dang! That…

NSV While Shopping
For those of you who don't know, NSV stands for non-scale victory. I've only lost 4 lbs since restarting Dec 27 but I haven't done much clothes shopping of late because frankly, it's depressing! :frown: I went this weekend with hubby to get a few things for mu upcoming trip to Vegas for my 40th birthday (leave this Sat!).…

Excess Skin...Where Does It (or does it) Go?
I am so worried that when I lose weight that I'm just going to have loose skin hanging. I am working out. I always run 3 times a week and usually do an exercise video twice a week for a total of 5 days a week. I'm 5'4.5" and currently weigh 207. My tummy hangs (thanks to having 3 kids). And of course I have a little wobble…

Hypoglycemia
Hi all. Not sure if this is the best place for this but it seemed like it to me. I haven't yet been diagnosed but I took a quiz yesterday to assess my probability that I have hypoglycemia. 20 meant that you were at risk, my score was 99! I've been experiencing dizziness midday but yesterday really put it out there for me.…

Not Really New But...
Back in the game finally! I decided I'm gonna run at least a half marathon with my brother in April of 2010. I have diligently been tracking food today and even got out my bike and rode for 20 min. I have eaten dinner and think I'm going to go back out on the bike again! I loved it and it really calmed me. Looking forward…
