  • I am currently in a slump. I have regained all the weight I lost back in 2018 and I'm having some issues with my exercise plan. So, I'm ready to find a good gym for the slightly silver age group and try to limit my sugar. I have logged in to MFP regularly 1133 days or something like that but I've lost the desire to log…
  • I try to be accurate as much as possible but sometimes that just isn't possible. I eyeball it when I can't weigh it and it gets tiring counting every chip. I usually can guesstimate pretty well and that's how it goes most of the time.

  • I am trying to make every day special. To log my calories diligently and be under my calorie goal. To be more active during the day, and be mindful of getting the rest I need. I don't drink sugary drinks and don't have coffee after 8:30 a.m. most days. My AM habit is to roll out of bed, have a cup of coffee, have my…
  • As you are standing, be sure to put a little groove in your move. Do some walking in place or dance about a bit.
  • Check out this study on how fidgeting can help your health. Sit less. https://academicminute.org/2016/09/jaume-padilla-university-of-missouri-fidgeting/
  • I have a couple of big things I've been hanging on to for quite awhile, but they have started to show their wear. One of them is an antique vanity that my husband bought me when we first got married. It is an art deco piece empire style and came with a bed. I also have a captain's single bed that I bought when my grandson…
  • I got started a little bit this last week. I decluttered a drawer and the bottom of my pantry. I also got rid of expired food in my pantry. This was hard because I hate wasting food. It was mostly popcorn, which, sadly I forgot I had it. It's amazing how many plastic bags you can accumulate from grocery shopping, ughh! So,…
  • I definitely would like to have more friends! I need the motivation, too.
  • I would like to join this group! Sounds like just what I'm looking for. I have been up and down on the scale since 2006. I lost 35 lbs in 2006. Gained it back by 2010 and have been up and down by 10-15 lbs since then. If you are looking for an aerobic exercise that you can do that doesn't involve running, I suggest…

  • This is an awesome challenge and I've gotten a lot out of it. More mindful about my daily activities and how I can move more and sit less. My body feels better and is stronger. Thanks for putting this together. I want to stay strong as I grow older.
  • My routine is to always park as far away as possible. I also try to walk for about 10 minutes every hour and a half or so. Other suggestions I've taken to heart is to get up frequently at home and walk about.
  • My goal is to be healthy and strong. One thing I know about anything that you want to accomplish is that you have to WANT to do it and be consistent in it, as much as possible.
  • I'm getting going! It's also important how you sit when you are sitting, especially at work. Be sure to sit back in your chair and not slouch and keep your hands/arms at the correct angle for working at a keyboard or desk.
  • I am setting up for a meeting today; and, I will take frequent standing breaks at my computer while at work.
  • Glad to be part of the boot camp on Sit Less. Fortunate my work provides me with a standing desk.
  • I have been trying organic vinegar with honey in a 32 oz glass of pure water. It is supposed to suppress appetite but also helps with a variety of other things.
  • I'm 61 and I'm trying to get in shape and lose 35-40 pounds, but mostly want to get stronger and more flexible. I sit way too much so need encouragement with exercise.
