    Hi there Wanderwoman 👋🏻 I guess I should correct myself and say I’m trying to lower my total body fat...

    I lost 6 pounds from April to June and now gained 6 pounds! I went back i eating some of the food I enjoy so I’m upset with myself that I have little self discipline but I’m going to focus again and start recording everything AGAIN! I’m looking for a way to take pictures of everything I eat. I’m going to try to eat what I did and in May when I showed a significant and consistent drop. 🧐

    Yes, I’ve put on so much during lockdown ☹️ Currently I am focusing on nutrition and logging everything that I eat but I was wondering if you ladies are incorporating fitness to speed up the weight loss? Except for walking, I don’t know what to do. I could join a gym but it costs £40 p/m. I’m 48 years old and completely out of shape but My thought process is to take one step at a time and concentrate on change of diet. Any help given is greatly appreciated 😊

    I'm just getting started on my fitness journey. Hoping to lose 35-40 pounds. I'm 54 years old and exercising is harder than it used to be 🤣😂. There are a lot of exercise videos on youtube to try.

    Is that what you’re doing Kelly? Are you concentrating on arms one day, legs the next, tummy the next and cardio on another day? Which video would you recommend? I honestly don’t know where to start🙊🤷‍♀️

    I did a zumba video that was pretty fun! 30 mins Zumba Dance Workout - Full Video
    Also did an exercise video: 30-min Feel Good Strength and Cardio Workout. But my husband had some difficulty with this but I was fine.

    My nutritionist told me I had to step up my exercise if I wanted to lose weight!

    PLEASE ADD ME!!!
    I am 42, Just finished loosing the fist half of my weight (52 pounds ) - I've got about 40-45 to go, depends on how much muscle I gain
    I have lost it all during lockdown
    I'm eating good, need to step up and really focus on logging it all
    I've been walking and I have a TRX system set up outside, but TBH I dont do it because frankly I hate strength training.

    I really like full body workouts...something that is going to give me cardio and tone muscles at the same time. There are several on youtube, but I do a $20/month subscription to Thedailyburn.com
    It's helped me a lot

    WE CAN DO IT!!!

    I love my nutritionist. She gives me new ideas to substitute my bad choices. She gave me my plan and when I followed it, I lost the weight I needed to lose. She’s from HEB :)
