How much weight have you lost NYCindie? I've just had my first weigh at ww and have dropped 1.4 Kgs ( over 3lb), in my first week. very pleased.
Having a lot of pain on the top of my left foot. It's been happening off and on for about a year. It hurts just to walk and almost feels like broken bones but being that it comes and goes I know that's not it. I really should have it looked at. Maybe once I'm off work for the summer.
Because of the foot pain, I didn't walk yesterday and probably won't today either. Tomorrow I'm busy all day so I doubt I'll have time to walk. Hopefully I'll be able to walk Thursday and get back on a routine. I'm actually enjoying my walks and now feel bad when I don't walk. That's a good sign!
Why wait? A year is far too long to live with something like that! You have insurance, right? Make an appointment with a podiatrist or orthopedist and get to the bottom of it. If they write you a scrip for orthotics, it's likely your insurance will cover it. Don't put yourself last!Having a lot of pain on the top of my left foot. . . I really should have it looked at.

Have you bought shoes yet ? If not, good supportive shoes are NOT a luxury item,..they are a neccessity of life,..PLEASE find away to get some It sounds small, but its part of taking care of yourself. Believing you are worth looking after,..****

What Sour Girl said, new shoes are a MUST!
As for me, I am losing weight without trying. Not because I am oh-so-fab,...not at all. Found out my body was/is under attack, I`m not as healthy as I use to be, and I`ll probably have to be careful for the rest of my life. Somehow, its either not hitting me yet, or I am not really grasping the years ahead of me. Though as I type, I realize it has more to do with how good I feel this week, physically.
I am in good spirits, and actually feel much better today, then I have in months. I thought I was focused before, thought I felt peaceful, but now I feel beyond that, simply for knowing whats going on with my body and that I can do something about it.
Opal - sounds like fun! After I lose some weight I would love to do something like that!
I'm trying exotic dance to lose weight and get some muscle tone. I am so not ready to get near a pole! I have the attention span of a flea and the discipline of a grasshopper when it comes to exercise so I hoping the 'sexy' elements will help me maintain interest. The gym I'm trying combines exotic dance with pilates, yoga and so on to create a work out.
And I agree with everyone else - get that foot checked!
Au contraire, my dear! Anyone can do yoga and Pilates. Check this short article out - gotta love the picture of big women in yoga poses: Big Bodies Get ‘Plus-Size’ Yoga and this big woman's yoga site: Big YogaI want to try yoga and Pilates - but feel like I can't do it at this weight.
I am 100+ pounds overweight, have no self esteem and have absolutely zero erotic or sexy cells in my body. After I lose some weight (roughly 50 lbs) I'm hoping I will develop some self esteem, feel comfortable with my body and in turn feel sexy, thus enabling me to have the confidence to take that kind of class.
It's easier to say "I can't" than it is to try and say "I can!" It's a "symptom" of my non-existent self esteem, low self worth and my self-hatred. It's a major thing I need to change in my life!!
