Thanks for all the tips everyone. I'm in N'Awlins so I wear a camelback and take several sips on each walk. Haven't made it back to running yet but hoping I get back there soon. The puffy hands thing is definitely when it's hot and humid. Beautiful day today and humidity is down - not as much puffiness this a.m. We'll see…

What about the puffy hands - do ya'll get that?

I'm in south Louisiana so I agree with you gabbo34 - in the past if I went past 8:30 a.m. in the summer I'd have to call my husband to come get me. It's like walking through sludge and then you're spent for the rest of the day. This time I've been going in the evenings but in July and August that can be just as bad at 9…

I may do one sooner but I live in the South and the summers are very hot and very humid. The latest I've ever done a race was in May. That was 3 years ago. I was on a roll then - doing a 5k or 10k at least once a month for six months then the humidity got me and a Hurricane hit our town. So starting all over. This will be…

I haven't stepped on the scale yet since my initial reading. Going to try to weigh only once a month. My NSV is getting back in my jeans within a week of starting. I have a certain number on the scale that I will NEVER go back to and a certain size jeans/pants that I will not go over. I had given all my larger sized pants…

Thanks I will check them out! :)

Definitely. Problem was I was just finishing my first week back on track and didn't want to blow it. I ended up getting a pasta dish at Applebees and ate on it for FOUR meals. That's insane that people eat all of that in one setting. I'm getting there slowly but surely. I get hyper focused in the beginning afraid of making…

For those of you who do weight training - how did you get started and do you have a routine for that as far as which parts you work or do you work all of it every time?
-
Well we've talked him into Applebees this time and I've gone online to look at the menu so that helps. But I'm sure he will want to go to the Golden Corral again sometime soon. Thanks for all the tips guys!
-
Will they let you get a kid's meal - some places do. The serving size should be more in line then.
-
Wow! Thanks guys. No video to upload. I'm 54 (needing to loose about 70 pounds) and talking about just using your own body weight - squatting down with hands out in front parallel to the ground and then coming back up. So it's more a functional for everyday life question. My husband can squat all the way to the floor and…

That's on my bucket list....we don't have one nearby. Closest one is about two hours away. I want to do that and Zip Line one day soon.
-
Awesome! Thanks!
-
My profile pic is from that time. Unfortunately I don't look like that now.

Having a problem finding one that syncs with a Galaxy Core Prime phone. Any suggestions? I had originally wanted a FitBit with HR but it doesn't work with the phone.

I know what you mean but the past is the past. Once you get back in the groove all will be well. Life happens, it's the way we react that makes the difference. Best of luck on your journey.

The energy level and that if I don't catch myself it comes right back. Fortunately I think my brain is catching up and when I feel 3 - 5 pounds in the wrong direction I know what to do. Also, the mental aspects. I am a much happier, nicer version of me when I am fueling correctly and exercising. Helps balance life's…

Passing up the Dr. Pepper and Kit Kats my Dad keeps stocked for us when we visit. Had a Diet Dr. Pepper and brought my own air popped popcorn.

Check out Forks Over Knives on Netflix - might help....

Well I was going to do it but my Exercise DVDs seem to have disappeared. It's a sign! Ugh! No problem though I've been hopping on the bike and treadmill. I just really wanted to do P90X.
-
I've been doing 20 minutes on my exercise bike the last three days - hoping on the treadmill tonight. I don't have a Fitbit yet but I can post time, calories and speed. Going for 30 minutes which since I'm starting over is usually a little over a mile at between 2.5 and 3 mph. Goal is to be consistent at 3 mph for 45…
-
Are you still doing it? I am getting started again.
-
Add me too please....I'm at the starting line again - whole food plant based is the goal.
-
How do we join in? I am hitting the restart button today....will be doing 30 min on my treadmill during t.v. time.
-
Hi there - my hubby and I are on again/off again Whole Food Plant Based. Would love to swap recipes.

Hi Jenny - I'm 54 but I am hitting the restart button today and looking for some cheerleaders too. If you would like to friend me feel free. We can cheer each other on. I'm looking to loose approx. 50 pounds. I'd like to be down at least 30 by August - in a perfect world 40 but it's not so much about the number as it is…
-
I could go for that. I'd be happy with 40 in 4 months because we usually go on vacation to the Lake or Beach around that time. I am just getting started again and need some accountability buddies. Add me as a friend if you'd like a cheerleader!
-
Hi there I am rebooting - aka at the starting line AGAIN! Hope you don't mind if I join your group. Resolutions for March - started to get down about the job search, paid absolutely no attention to what I was eating and didn't do any exercise because of allergies and job search funk. Hello five pounds. Resolutions for…

I've heard of businesses doing the gym membership as a benefit. Good luck on all of your transitions.

Thanks everyone!
