Think outside the box for once, maybe you might learn something also. I've been open and trying different things to see how my body and mind responds to it, whether good or bad maybe you should as well or others. Never know what you may learn about yourself or what you didn't know before. Open minds lend to endless possibilities π
I used to love line dancing for exercise--still do. But I lost more weight doing aerobics or just spending that time with easy yoga stretches and meditation. Would make myself change it up occasionally, but always went back to line dancing for the long run.2 -

Um... No.
I have an open mind, but I also believe in the laws of physics.1 -
@Corina1143 I know how you feel. I love music and dancing but never do it anymore. I purchased a mat the other day so I can start working out to videos on YouTube. Switch it up to target strengthening my lower belly and toning it as I'm losing weight as well as some dancing workouts and stuff. May try kickboxing as well. It's suppose to be one of the best for overall body toning. I love walking, I enjoy my rower and doing weight training but want to keep spicing up my workouts. If I'm not enjoying my exercises and it's more like a chore then I'll be stressed about doing it, and that leads to low metabolism. So want to keep happy endorphins flowing! Also I was eating when I got up in the mornings before my workouts but felt less energetic, so changed it. I do my workout first and then eat. I feel I have more stamina and move faster to, which makes me burn more quickly. I don't usually eat then until just before noon but find it works better for me then eating first and then working out. Everybody's metabolism works differently so just got to try different things until you find out what works for your body type. It's a neverending educational journey trying to figure out your body, how it works and what it likes. I have graves disease. Was overactive thyroid then had radioactive iodine treatment to bring me under at 25 yrs old. So I have an autoimmune disorder. I'm always constantly fighting my own body, trying to trick it in different ways to boost my metabolism. I feel like I'm constantly in a game of chess with myself. It's honestly exhausting, but challenging. Thank goodness I inherited my mother's stubbornness, or I would have given up on myself years ago! To all those who never give up, cheers!2

By the way. I normally wouldn't be on here this hour but working night shift. I do homecare with developmentally delayed woman. I hate that term because she is just as smart as we are, just can't express herself the same. She's such a sweetheart and joy to be aroundβ€οΈ. Wish all humans were as loving as she is. She melts all of her workers hearts. We adore her and she makes us so grateful for what we do have instead of focusing on what we don't. Everyone has a purposeπ₯°3

I also want to give a shout-out to @deepwoodslady and @takinitalloff. I've watched both of you be so inviting, engaging, and inspiring to newcomers since I've come on this app. Whether it's days when your weigh ins are stagnant or you have great weight losses, you both have been so kind and uplifting to us newcomers! Thank you for your kindness,. It is inspiring me to be and show the same courtesy to others also, and I'm normally antisocial and keep to myself. So thank you bothπ3

Thank you @Wean_over_that_now π but I never would have guessed to to be antisocial π Iβve enjoyed seeing your upbeat and supportive comments, too.2

I work and go home. Do my own thing and stay to myself. I don't deal with social media accounts, I spent my time in my backyard so people rarely see me. Now that I've been out walking people are seeing me but I walk outside the community. There are people who have thought I've been living away for years because they haven't seen me! Lol. I live in an area of 2 communities with less then 5000 people and I still don't know who most are. So have never been social. I don't like gossip and negative people, which you get a lot where I am so stay away from it for my own mental health. Have always been this way, but choose who I want to associate myself with and am careful of not spending to much time around others as it sours the friendship. I have 2 true friends who are there if needed. My father told me you will never fill one hand with true friends. He was right. The two I have live busy lives and we talk once every couple months, if lucky, sometimes months apart. But are there when truly needed, no matter what. I'm very grateful for thatπ3

@Wean_over_that_now Thanks so much for the compliment and the kind words. I too have enjoyed your posts. Like you, I can be a bit of an introvert. A little shy. A little to myself. I have enjoyed the people I've "met" on MFP and the community that is here for support and online friendship. It is helping me break out of my shell a bit. It's always nice to add someone new to the circle. I think maybe I'm coming around too, a bit.1 -
My name is Donna. I am 63 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5β 5β tall. My highest weight was 253 in 2016. My MFP start weight was 235 in 2018.

03/03-178.2-(Trend Weight: 179.2)-
03/10-178.8-(Trend Weight: 178.9)- Itβs been a rough week food-wise. It started off okay as you can see by my trend weight, but these last couple of days have been filled with restaurants or special out-of-the-ordinary days on my schedule. Iβve got to get my routine jump started again. Tomorrow is another travel day but I hope that starting on Tuesday things can level out. Have a great week everyone!
03/17-181.2-(Trend Weight: 180.4)- This has been a horrible week. Pretty much no exercise due to how busy this multi-space renovation is keeping me. My diet has been pretty good for meals, but my snacks have been a bit too much or the wrong kind. Iβm guilty of the grab-and-go mentality when it comes to the snacks when I get busy. Iβve got to stay focused. I also think my mealtimes have changed and my dinner has been too early which leaves me hungry for longer at night. Iβll try to tweak it all this week and see what happens. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Current Weight: 351.4
March Goal Weight: Maybe 5lbs (I showed up late to the party.π)
Ultimate Weight Loss Goal: It's hard to say. I used to be stricter but over the years that has changed when I realized just how hard it is to lose weight and then maintain it. The short-term goal is to get back to 300/285 lbs. The long-term goal is to get down to somewhere between 260 and 220 lbs.
