    I'm curious - what are some of your morning routines? I need to switch mine up and would like some ideas. I need something that energizes me (yet I've never been able to exercise rigorously in the morning). I'm thinking yoga would help.

    Yoga helped me too while I still did it. With mornings being hectic I find it hard to find the right moment. Would love to go back but that would mean to get up realy early..

    I already get up at 5:30. And I hate it!

    Totally get it 😂
    I get up, get kids and myself set up for the day and get on my 1 hour commute to work. I read and get some time to myself. On my day off i try to go to the gym.

    I’m 42 and want to get healthy habits for life once and for all. I’ve done MFP a few times before. A couple of years ago I was super successful, but then gained it all back when I stopped tracking and moved and had some life stress.
    This time I’m gonna get it right and keep it.

    Add me if you want to reach similar goals:
    Drink water water water.
    Lose 30+ pounds, but NOT obsess with a scale.
    Attain healthy BMI.
    Eat vegetables.
    Eat for nutrition, not for emotion.
    Be active and get strong.
    Eat clean and close to nature: eliminate additives and chemicals.
    Conquer food cravings and sugar addictions. End binge eating, especially nighttime grazing, for good! (I’m using intermittent fasting, 12 hours of NO solid food between 8pm and 8am.)

    New friends welcome. Add me. My diary is shared and I love feedback and comments! Cheers!

    Sleeping til 10 would be the start of a perfect Saturday for me! Unfortunately between the two dogs and my 7 year old I’m lucky to not be disturbed before 7. Yikes!

    My kids are teens... and I still don’t sleep past 7 thanks to earlier kiddo induced conditioning. 😆

    I am 46, I really need to love 65-70 lbs and it is about time I get serious about it. I have 2 kids (8 and 11) and I want to have fun with them and be around for a long time. The time is now. I will take all the support I can get, it is so hard to do alone.

    Hi. I’m 42 trying to lose about 45 lbs that I’ve lost before. One would think I’d get wiser with age and quit gaining it back. Ran into a bunch of medical issues and it just keeps creeping on, but I’m done, I’d love accountability friends. Feel free to add me.,

    Btb079 - I totally agree.. it doesn’t seem to get any easier with age ( especially if one has medical issues! I’m tired of this controlling me
