I am in again for this month. Though it seems lately all I am doing is just giving out FQ's.
I am having issues with both knees, my right hip and my left elbow. I am falling apart!!! My therapist had me cancel all my apts for this week and next until I can get into my ortho doc to see what we need to do. I went shopping at a gardening center for 2 hours with a good friend on Wednesday. I spent the next 3 days really hurting. I should be able to shop and stand for 2 hours, shouldn't I???? Made the call to my primary care, I see him on Thursday and I will ask for the referral to my Orthopedic. Just shoot me please!!!

Sandy, I am pretty much following Weight Watchers. I am not a member any more but I do well on their program, when I actually follow it. The fact that on their program I can eat whatever I want as long as i count it works in my mind. The way my mind works if I am not allowed to have something I will crave it like crazy. If I know I can have it if I want it doesn't bother me as much.
I am also trying to exercise more. I have been going to a spinning class 3x a week, riding about 50-55 miles a week. I am also doing a group power class 2x a week. That is lunges, squats and other exercises with weights. I have been somewhat disappointed in my weight loss numbers lately but my clothes are a lot loser. I guess the numbers on the scale will eventually happen.

Gayle, I am there with you that standing brings delayed pain - and I had bilateral knee replacement last summer! I was making freezer meals yesterday - on my feet about 4 hours and then couldn't sleep. Don't have anymore pain pills, so I just suffer. Hope you get relief soon!
Hitting the road again for the day - it will be a long one.
Pam, maybe you & I can pull each other along this sugar free trip. I'll be starting tomorrow!

I lost over 60 lbs and now regained about 3 lbs. So I need to maintain and not gain. I started last year March/April, I think. I used the free part of Loseit app on the phone/ computer. I used no meal replacements, cut out all artificial sweeteners, sugar and most fat. I also did strict portion control, weighing and measuring, and calorie counting. Sometimes the weight flew off and other times despite the rigid diet I could not loose. My main focus has been on eating healthy and now I need to add exercise. One of my problems was way too much starch. I cut brown rice servings down to no more then 1/4 cup per meal.

Oh I will not be in any more unless I need to and I sure hope it will not get to that part again. Sigh... Wish me luck staying and maintaining. Best wishes to all on your journey to live healthy and loose weight.
