Hang in there. I wish you peace my friend.0 -

Great job everyone. And Happy Easter to all who celebrate.
I'm still persevering, but going slowly.
I'm working with Leslie's Walk Away the Pounds, which uses hand weights, but I have not used them yet.
I was doing my walks at the beginning of the day. Twice I tried the 2 mile, but ended up feeling quite weak and dizzy both times, and it seemed like it took a while to recover. I think it was because I had not eaten. I normally do not eat breakfast, so I was probably weak from lack of fuel. Now I am trying to set a time later in the day - but if I don't do it before supper, I often feel too bloated to move much.
I also want to work up to using the hand weights. Over the years I have suffered a few times with tendonitis in both arms, plus a right rotator cuff injury. My upper body is very weak, so needs some work - but I need to go into this slowly and not overdo it. I hope to start doing some modified hand weight activity soon.
Goal March 11-31: 20 miles
As of Mar 20 1 had walked 9 miles
Since then I have done 6.5 miles
Total as of today - 15.5 miles.
4.5 miles to go.
Thank you all for being here and doing this challenge. Without this I probably would not have been this consistent.
I'm looking forward to moving into April, and gradually increasing my distance, and using the hand weights.0 -

My 5 miles will have to be inside - curling to watch at 10 a.m. and I have my little granddaughter until after lunch sometime so hopefully will get outside this afternoon.0 -
hollyhock1009 perhaps try eating a piece of fruit when you get up or even a small piece of toast. I myself prefer to exercise in the morning - lots of times it gives me energy to continue the day and I know that I have completed it instead of worrying about squeezing it in later.0

Thanks for the suggestions, @Lilymay2.
I have actually 'played' with every imaginable eating combo and time. Eating early, especially carbs just made me hungry all day long. I like an evening snack, but with a breakfast I just kept eating and eating and went over my calorie limit. So I ended up switching my breakfast to 'lunch' around 11 AM, having oatmeal and 1 or 2 hardboiled eggs, or scrambled eggs with veggies. (That helped to eliminate the calories from toast too.) Then a snack with protein around 3, and a full supper between 6 and 7, and then I could still have calories for an evening snack. Re fruit, many fruits actually bother my stomach (IBS) - I find cooked fruit much easier for me to digest.
Being 66, and only 5', MFP 'gave' me 1200 calories a day. But it seems like I basically just maintained at that level. I do not lose unless I am below 1150, so it's a real puzzle as to how to fit in those calories for best effect.
I do appreciate your feedback though.0 -

Lilymay2, congrats on hitting 100 miles, even if it's not to your goal yet. I can only dream of doing that, at this point.
Congrats to PinkyPan1 and Deeder522 too, for your accomplishments.
You are all a great inspiration to someone very new to this.0 -

Made my goal!
Goal for March 11-31: 20 miles
As of Mar 26 1 had walked 15.5 miles
Since then I have done 5 more miles - so total as of today - 20.5 miles. Yippee.
I used the weighted balls on 2 of the 1 miles this week. I had planned to just hold them, and work up to the exercise movements, but I just ended up doing them anyway. As a newbie exerciser, I am really feeling it!
