Elliptical Machines
I am currently searching for a used Elliptical on Kijiji. Does anyone have a Vision Fitness X6200DA Elliptical? Good? Bad? What things should I be looking for and what should I be avoiding? I am hoping to get back in the saddle without actually being on the bike saddle that caused me to have major tailbone issues. I like…

One year of MFP logging
Okay, so no pics to post because I am still a camera-avoider; however, here's my story. Just over a year ago I went to a meeting to get information on bariatric surgery. I had the pre-op tests done and was sitting in a room of people just like me when I realized that this was drastic. Firstly, I was told in this meeting…

NSV
Went to my daughter's first rugby game of the summer last night. Haven't seen the other parents as I don't go to practice, so when I arrived I made a comment about how much my son (3 1/2 years old) has changed and the two moms I tend to sit with said that it wasn't just my son that has changed. They actually were watching…

My revelation!
I just realized (okay . . . so I'm a bit slow) that earning more calories via exercise does not increase the amount of sodium, sugars, carbs etc. that I should be consuming . . . or does it? Does this mean that I should be eating more vegetables and protein (as I'm not concerned with eating too much protein, or too much…

NSV!
So, I have always had to drive my vehicle with the seat back almost all the way as my backside fat combined with my belly fat just bloody well got in the way . . . . but I noticed yesterday that I haven't moved the seat back in awhile and, in fact, have pulled it forward a time or two after hubby's been driving (when he…

Baby Carrot Hiccups
Seriously, I get hiccups every time I eat baby carrots. I don't eat them any faster than any other food, but I am guaranteed hiccups within a couple bites. I also get hiccups with some breads and french fries. Anyone in the bizarre hiccup cause club?

What choo lookin' at?
I am in this battle to become healthy, and I have to admit I am starting to feel pretty darned good about myself. I have lost 45 pounds, but more importantly I am able to walk up a flight of stairs without panting, ride my bike without freaking out if I come to a minor incline etc. I have a long way to go, but these things…

Whassup?
Okay, so we are not exactly a robustly active group . . . at least when it comes to chatter in this group. Wondering what's happening in everyone's lives? Are we all still logging, getting exercise, eating well, etc.? Where are we in terms of goals set and goals met? And most important question is, when are we getting…

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Okay, so I personally really do not like snow, but I do kind of like knowing that my children are home today and enjoying one another. Also enjoying the fact that I have shovelled, and shovelled, and shovelled (with more to come) so I have burned off a tonne of calories and look forward to eating a few of them back by…

Skin issues
Okay, so I generally have pretty nice skin, but in the last two months, since changing my eating habits, I now have several blemishes on my face and it has become extremely dry. I do drink lots of water. Possibly related to food or maybe just coincidental with the change in weather? Anyone else experience this?

So, had my mind set on a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast this morning to discover DH must have eaten it all. Can't seem to wrap my mind around what is a good breakfast now. Any suggestions??
