It has been quite common to hear about injuries as people lose weight.
Several people have posted info docs have given them.
First, our center of gravity changes quickly and we are more prone to injury as we're not used to it.
Second, the fat actually helped create support on areas that we must now strengthen and let the muscles support instead. I really expected my WL to correct back problems but in many ways for a while it got worse. I needed chiro adjustments but also a chiro knowledgeable in PT, and eventually just started going to PT.

I've learned some exercises and stretches that I may need to do for life to keep the pain at bay. Hang in there...it'll get better!

Hi everyone! This is a good day, just bought two pairs of size 14 skinny jeans and they fit great! And... The scale was down 2 pounds this morning!

Kawaii, nice to see you back. I feel ya on the winter thing. Sick of it! Sorry that you are in pain.

I love jean day, because the pants fit and I do not have to think about what to wear in my freezing classroom!

Woohoo for jeans day in a smaller size slipfree!!!! Today was a two pair of pants day for me, tee shirt, flannel shirt, and sweater too.

I enjoyed reading this post thank you DLR It's good to have someone point us in the right positive direction.

I work Saturday and Sunday, and then Monday head to our all inclusive for one week. Looking forward to having and wonderful family holiday. Likely won't be back on blog until for a week or so.

I'll second the smaller jeans "woohoo!". I am wearing a pair of size 10's I haven't worn for almost 2 years.

Hugs to those of you who are feeling down due to the winter weather. On a plus side, January is almost over!

dlr- have a wonderful vacation, enjoy the sun

Steph, yay for size 10 jeans!

Weigh In at my clinic tomorrow at 10:30, then brunch with a friend. Coffee and poached eggs for me, going in with a plan. Found some more of that cinnamon chai tea on Amazon! That made me so happy

Hope that all of you are having a great IP evening.

Jig, where are you? Sweetness, I have been worrying about you.

Good Morning everyone,

Well still heading to my WI, but brunch got cancelled. Kind of happy about it because I want to save my protein for dinner, I am marinating flank steak. Will hit the grocery store on the way home, need some veggies. Also think I am going to make the salsa verde chicken recipe this week.

SIL wanted to go walk the beach again, but it is below freezing and windy! I will stick to the treadmill until it is in the 40s.

Will check in later, crossing my fingers and toes for a good weigh in.

Crossing my fingers and toes for you. Hope it's a good WI!

WI- 189!!! While it is TOM. So happy. . Talked about setting a final goal. Somewhere between 160 and 170, time will tell. Going to take it in 10 pound increments for now. The coach says that he finds maintenance much easier, but admitted to it being a life of constant food planning when I pressed him.

Slipfree- YAY!!!! I'm so excited for you about breaking through to the 180's and congrats on the size 14 skinnies!

Steph- Congrats on the size 10's! That's awesome!

I'm so proud of everyone's losses and NSVs.

Also, I agree on Slipfree's post about Sweetness. Hope you're doing better and that we hear from you soon.

SLIPFREE that is AMAZING!!!

Congrats to you!!! Very proud of you this is wonderful. Keep it up. You are in the home stretch!

Hi!

Thanks! Treadmill done Also ordered a new scale for home, hoping it will be more reliable.

Steph: I ordered Calm too. You had me at help with C and sleep.

It is snowing here again, so I think I will catch up on some Dvr'd tv. But first need to cook dinner, marinated flank steak, mushrooms and grilled asparagus.

Hope that you are warm and having fun!

Slipfree: congrats on that kick-a$$ WI! I hope the Calm works for you. Let me know.
