  1. On Pandora I like Latin workout. I makes me motivated to move.
  2. I am going to try that idea. Cucumber and mint water sounds so good. I also do 1teaspoon of lemon juice and 1 tsp splenda to give it a lemonaide flavor.

    Talked to my Physical Therapist and she said the ones with a hole for the knee is best. I have a meniscus tear from exercise.
  4. I second that trader joes hot dogs. I also know you can get good healthy HD at health foods stores or co-ops but they are expensive and go bad fast so best to keep them frozen until use.
  5. i do know physical therapy will help. I had Plantars F 2 years ago and toe streaches really helped me the pediatrist gave me. I do them in bed laying down at night, flexing and curling, back and forth. Also rolling a tennis ball or can on the ground with your foot while sitting helps too. Online I think they have posted exercises for heel injury streaching exercises. best of luck! it toook me 9 months to get over the injury.

    oh my I am glad I'm not alone. I never had knee problems until after sleeve surgery. I get down because I feel I could walk longer if it wasn't for the pain.
  7. I know that carbonation is linked to cancer and bone growth problems. I only let my kids drink one a week. I quit all together. It was hard but now I hate the stuff if I have even just a sip. It makes sense that it is also linked to obesity. The carbonation fills stomachs with gases that are not natural and cause flatualence. I used to get diarrea if I drank more than two a day. Its just bad stuff.
  8. You can add Chia seeds to green protien smoothies and it gives it a really fresh good taste.
  9. i hate the way protein powder tastes now after surgery. Before I never had a problem. And i took a sip of diet coke and had to spit it out. Ew I can't believe I used to drink that every day.
  10. I got the best set for the price at Ikea.

  12. compared to what is what I ask myself. I get down in the dumps when I hear someone lost more weight than me. So I have to remind myself that before it took me over a year to lose 10 lbs. 50 is still a celebration. Its a journey!

  15. I set my goal on how much weigh to lose short term until I set a new goal. Making a huge goal is too disheartening for me. My NUT told me setting smaller golas makes you feel accomplished compared to a huge one. I set 3 small goals.I first wanted to get to 200. Then I want to get to 180. After that I will set a goal with my Doctor's advice because I know I can get smaller than 180. Best of luck!
  16. I have had this problem too. I am checking in with my Doctor this Friday.
