If you can, try to get the depression treated before you start. If you can stop yourself from suffering then it will make everything else easier. If you are unable to, then try to start off slowly. Change a few habits for the better, like going for a walk in the morning or evening, tracking your calories with how you…

I could use a few more.

Yes, I've met my dad before.

I see it as time to catch up on housework and get laundry done, mostly.

Sometimes we stumble. Sometimes we even fall. What is important is that we pick ourselves back up, dust ourselves off, and start back forward. Congratulations on taking your first steps forward again. That first step is something to be respected.

Also starting back over and could use new friends. Feel free to add me.

People wasting my time. The Post Office in general. People who don't return their shopping carts.

My 8yo daughter randomly plots how she can destroy her future enemies.

As the first post said, start by tracking everything. I also recommend meal prepping and weighing everything to give you the most accurate number for your calories and macros. Meal prepping for the week really takes the guesswork out of "what to eat" when you can just pop your already prepared and measured container into…

Current goal is 17,500 per week.

The last thing you want when doing squats, and many other lifts, is your form to breakdown. Lighten the load by 5-10lbs and continue on. Your back will thank you.

I'm not even sure how to respond to this.

You can if you wish, but no real point without logging your meal as well.

There is no good reason to weight. Just make sure to follow a structured program that takes you along slowly, such as the ones that have been mentioned.

Another for beginning a heavy lifting plan. It will do wonders for your physique.

Yeah, it is one of those realities we have to face. Focus on the nutritional aspect as this is by far the most important factor in weight loss. Also work on an exercise plan that fits your preferences, lifestyle, and overall goals.

In a healthy person, your metabolism does not really slow down or speed up in the way that you think. "Speeding up your metabolism" is accomplished by increasing your energy output through activity.

There are always going to be rude people and jerks. But you do need to ask yourself whether or not what they say is valid and you are simply making excuses for yourself.

Yes, men and women do not need to exercise differently.

Today is a really *kitten* day.

I did not expect this. I'm glad that you emerged with clarity!

I love this thread. :)

Why am I uncrushable? I have lived a hard life that only handfuls can relate to. I have been neglected, tormented emotionally, abused, and worse. I have faced deeply held fears and insecurities and realizd that fear only has power if you give it power. I have done both good things and bad things in life. Yet even at my…

It's difficult, but it can be done. Try finding some like minded people on here so you can discuss things related to your fitness with and it can be much easier.

As much as they want. Women do not need to train any differently than men.

No, you are not a horrible person. But likening someone with a disability to an animal or alien is unkind at best.

Watched more HoC tonight. Still soooooo good!

Already spring where I am. I got a bit of a sunburn today even.
