I know that took a lot of discipline but you must be so much better for it.<br /><br />The Plantar Faciitis was a result of the excessive use of my feet ( landscaping, gardening, walking, etc. ) and I had minimally invasive surgery on both which relieved about 90 percent of the problem. I do special stretches and I wear orthotics and very good shoes. I am limited in how far I can walk so I try not to overdo it.Sweet Home and Garden Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08026451200405491815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516540452021706712.post-13810631457676972782009-07-30T15:28:01.038-06:002009-07-30T15:28:01.038-06:00Gee thanks , MBT.

I used to be one of the skinniest girls in high school, too, so it's been frustrating to see the pounds steadily add on each year for the past decade or so. Sweets and carbs are my downfall, and I don't exercise as much as I should. But I'm tired of looking and feeling this way--I will definitely check out this book! It's good to know someone has had success with a program, not one of those skinny models in bikinis who claim to have lost 30 pounds in a month by taking a pill:)<br /><br />I also had plantar faciitis a few years ago--very difficult to exercise or even walk with that! But Birkenstocks and stretching have cured that, so I have no excuse any more.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516540452021706712.post-8345782084263929852009-07-29T17:49:41.692-06:002009-07-29T17:49:41.692-06:00Ok, I've seen you in person and I know that th...Ok, I've seen you in person and I know that the camera adds some pounds but I never would have thought to myself; "Gee, that Carolyn need to drop a few pounds."

Congratulations on your weight loss. ...Hi Carolyn,<br />Congratulations on your weight loss. You're looking great!<br /><br />I had plantar faciitis a number of years ago, and after several cortisone shots, physical therapy, orthotics, and lots of stretching, I ended up having surgery. I am still sticking to wearing athletic shoes, and usually add Dr. Scholl inserts. A couple months ago, I walked around the house barefoot, a few days in a row, and my foot started hurting. I got some new inserts, and the pain has gone away, so I think it was just tendonitis. How did you get rid of yours? Was it the weight loss?<br /><br />I lost 60 pounds going to Weight Watchers a few years ago. I lost more than the leader thought I should. I have gained 18 pounds over the last year, I think, because I'm not exercising like I was. I seem to be able to maintain my current weight, which is still 10 pounds lighter than what my goal was, but I think what I need is to do my aerobics again.<br /><br />Oh, dear, I didn't mean to go into such detail, but if I start to gain weight again, I may check out the book you wrote about.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516540452021706712.post-24950074142699797502009-07-29T08:36:39.808-06:002009-07-29T08:36:39.808-06:00P.S. - you look great!P.S. - you look great!Phillip Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546160918395373740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516540452021706712.post-59607590420109814362009-07-29T08:36:15.487-06:002009-07-29T08:36:15.487-06:00I'm reading a book called "The Blue Zone&...I'm reading a book called "The Blue Zone" which is about pockets of the world where people often live past 100. It is obvious that we don't get the same exercise as they do (these people work like dogs!) and our fatty foods only contribute to our downfall. I've always been health conscious - like you, I rarely eat red meat but my weakness is the sweets. I have to fight hard to resist those. I'm glad you have found a book that is helping. That is great.Phillip Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546160918395373740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516540452021706712.post-53096375921810168482009-07-29T06:02:30.033-06:002009-07-29T06:02:30.033-06:00Congrats!!!
