Motivation and help getting started

mlg2884

I am at my wits end. I really need to lose at least 90 but want to lose 100. I am at this alone. No support system. I need a buddy to help me with this. I also need a low impact exercise regime because I do suffer from chronic pain and osteoarthritis, and help getting started to eat healthier. Note that I'm into fruits and no vegetables.

My mom has no knee cap in one knee and arthritis in both and she has found that she enjoys walking (w/ trek poles) as her excercise. As she has lost the weight she's been able to increase her speed and distance. I think she's down about 70lbs now. Hope I was helpful and good luck!

1st you are not in this alone, you are here with a lot of us that have a lot of weight to lose. Welcome!

I started walking just 15 min a day, increased that to 30 min a day and now I'm up to 2-3 miles 4 times a week (took about a month 1/2).

I recommend getting good running shoes, load your phone with some good music, download mapmyfitness app and hit the pavement (or mall if weather is bad they usually open early for mall walkers). Physically and mentally you will feel so good once you start hitting milestones like your first mile.

Also maybe yoga. I'm the chubbiest in my class by far but it's for me!

My mantra has been - make up your mind and your body will follow.

Don't get discouraged! Just keep showing up for yourself.

Start with the easy stuff and work up to the harder things. Surround yourself with like-minded people, and DO IT!! Good luck!!
