Dr. McDougall's Online Discussion Board

oooh! that looks painful. Seriously, I was laughing at your post until I saw the pic...

ouch. get better!

Kirk,
I have had a similar rash, aggrevated by pedalling on an exercise bike. I can feel the pain just looking at your picture.

I met with an exercise guru who recommended getting pedal extenders for my recumbent bike. This puts your thighs further apart and avoids the chaffing. You'd have to look around but they're out there. It's possible to rig something up too. Anything that moves the pedal position out from the centerline.

This exercise expert also recommended a rowing machine, which was the direction I went, because there is no pain to my knees.

With the McDougall diet and daily rowing, I've been able to lose 75 pounds and no longer have chaffing. Good luck.

i am only on twice a day...early in the morning, before we lose power and then on at night when the generator is running so apologize for not posting more......hang in there! grrrrrrrrr..hate boondocking! I am a "hooker" lol!

Glad you posted, was thinking about you. Let us know how each of your new gadgets workout. Keep on keepin on , your spirit is amazing (can I bottle you up and share you )

Nice to hear that you are still out there. What ever did we do before we had the internet to keep up with people? Imagine living in the days when moving away from home meant you would probably never see anyone there again.

I am so glad for you Kirk! I admire your perseverance tremendously! I always find your posts interesting. Have a great day!

oh YAY! seven pounds in ONE WEEK!? are you on The Biggest Loser?

I'm so glad you found your way, past the swollen feet, past the skin stuff, and onto that recumbent and before you know it, walking briskly to wherever you need to go! yay!

I'm jumping for joy for ya

How are you doing this weekend?

We have not been very faithful in our diets, but we are doing better. Hubby has really been sticking to mostly rice and veggies and soup, but he still loves meat so he baked some skinless boneless chicken breasts and added it to his rice and veggies.

While this is not on the plan, it is still better than what we used to do so I am not upset with it.
