Froufie, you need to follow Doctor's orders and take it easy. I still have a sneaky suspicion that your injury has something to do with your treadmill walking at such fast speeds and incline so fast. Gotta start this stuff out slow when you aren't used to it!

Vickie - the worst part is I am afraid to exercise now!!! I think maybe the ddr extravaganza last friday night did not help either. Last thursday and friday I was hobbling a bit and in some discomfort - friday when i got my ddr we tried it out - I was dancingn up a storm despite the fact I was in pain. So I think it got worse over the weekend - and on Monday was really feeling it.

I know I have to move my body to lose weight - but next week I guess I won't do much - will do my physio - then I am so afraid of hurting myself esp if I am travelling - so won't do too much! I feel like I am turning into a couch potato....and the less I move the less I can eat without GAINING WEIGHT!

When I get back to treadmill walking I will most CERTAINLY take it very easy - slowly and no incline to start - no way do I want to reinjure myself!

Frouf! My Dahling Injured Fuzzy (notice i didn't say fluffy ) creature If it looks like this is going to be longer term than it is right now Look into some Aqua classes Aerobics water walking
Its virtually no impact and its great for burning calories
So I decided I'm going to combine flex and core Would that be fore or Clex? I'm taking my get out of jail free card tommorrow at WI b/c I know I can't face it if I have a gain
I have no Portion Control! I suck at it Royally so i figure if I have to measure then SO BE IT
Gotta run want to buy something online before lunch is over
What am I shopping for NOT A CLUE but it's food sex or shopping DH isn't here and the M&M's aren't helping!

That would be Flore!! It's sorta what I'm doing by eating mainly Core foods but then still counting my points (well, actually 1200-1250 calories which is approx. my 20 pts plus a little). I have found if I really watch it, and don't go over, and make sure I'm taking in ALL my water, I will lose. I've been down a pound a day for the last 3 days, so I know that was all the bloat and salt that I had added during my last "who gives a darn" spree! I'm nearly back to where I was before I had the meltdown and if I can maintain it, I'll be on my way to goal!

Good luck! And hey do you ever check the Friday Amazon sale? That's where I buy all the Calphalon pans for my DS's apartment (I'm sure he's sick of them) but they have such good deals! Today there are 2-3 great ones listed. My older DD says she's moving out in August so I have another reason to shop for apartment stuff now ... like *I* ever needed a reason to shop!

ooooh amazon Kathy you said the magic word!

[WWEnthusiast]

ain't bad....yep messed up after work....bad stressful day at work and that's all it takes.
I did mess up, stepped out of the Core-ous line....if I could get the smiley things to work (which I can't right now) I'd wack myself over the head with the rolling pin. Lost control, as simple as that.....ba-ump-bump!!
I am here to bare my soul. I will continue however on my program tomorrow. I don't expect much at w/i and am contemplating not doing so.
KO I hear you on the 'no control' but I can't give up. The alternative is to only gain back all I have lost. I also tried Flore-ing but got all messed up. Katpo is much better at it then me. I will continue Core. The other ways got me in BIG touble. But it's all a personal thing.
I can not do this. I am very uncomortable in my own skin and with a measiy 10 lbs to lose it is so so hard.
But enough of that or we'll be serving Cheese with the Whine.
Good going to those of you with losses, even if they seem insignificant, they add up. So good going.
Angela glad you and the kids are feeling better....and that butterscotch FFSF pudding is so good. I think I did find a new treat,especially mixed with the FF yogurt. Never thought I'd say that!!
Frou- hope all is well with you and that you are feeling physically better ,but more importantly emotionally better.
Kat- your calorie counting seems to be going great!! Do you think you and I will ever be satisfied......ughhhhhhhh
Vickie glad your nephew is finally home. There is no place like it, and nothing like your own bed. Does my messed day mean I get a cheer leader (can't get the extra smileys up) taken away
Mercee good to see you back here. Glad things are going well for you and that you are resolved to keep on keeping on. Good Luck.
Well everyone else have a good evening...I am kind of disappointed in me, but by tomorrow I'll be ok....just chalk it up to a failed afernoon. Could have been worse, could have screwed up the entire day....but what's the difference I screw up is a screw up....I better get with it, Easter is right around the corn-ner.....
See you all back here tomorrow.....Linda

[Katpo]

To answer you in a word, Linda ... no. You and I will never be satisfied. I honestly thought that when I could fit into a size 8 then my mission was over. Okay, now I'm in an 8 and the jeans are even a little baggy, but am I happy? Nah, I have to complain about flabby triceps or the little pooch over my hysterectomy scar or just ANYTHING! Of course I had three excellent days so tonight I said "girlfriend, you deserve a treat!" My treat? Beer. What's new?

Well, one day I'll be able to peek over into the 130s and say "hey, you all in there! How's it going" and then I'm sure I'll go eat a cookie and land right back in 140s land. I'm just hoping to be fully immersed in 140s land by next week instead of teetering on the edge ... one day 150, next day 148, next day 151, next day 147, next day 150. It's really getting old. I'm sure most of you are saying waaaahh, cry me a river -- but it's my personal battle so yes it's important. When I was 175 I couldn't even imagine worrying about 149 vs 150, so this is an accomplishment.

Off to dinner ... be back later with either good or bad news. Did I eat fried stuff (oooh, that sounds great!) or was I really good?
