in Health and Weight Loss
I have good reasons why i want to lose weight and i make plans but before i exercise i chicken out and do not follow through at least with biking and running i do stretches and lift weights but that can only do so much I just feel like im stuck right now but im really good at sticking with eating healthy and all of that

    well a healthy lifestyle can be 80% good diet 20% exercise so, you're already 80% there! just step your game up with exercising, no need to feel pressured to go fast or far at first. just gradually increase your exercise. you can start with walking in a hilly area, hiking, swimming, rollerblading, then move on to running and biking once you feel good exercising. if you dread exercise, you're not going to want to keep up with it. maybe try a zumba class or video.

    I love walking. Our city trail calls my name. I know I am alive and super happy when I can finish my six mile loop in just a hair over an hour. Find something you love and just do it.

    It sounds like you're doing great. As long as you're eating a calorie deficit there's no need to do more than what you're doing. Are you logging your food and exercise and eating back at least some of your exercise calories? Do that consistently and you'll see a pattern of either inches or pounds lost. You don't have to bust your butt doing cardio if you don't want to.

    You're eating under 1,000 calories a day and walking 1 1/2 miles and riding a stationary bike...You need to be eating more.
