Does anyone do Classical Stretch by Miranda Esmonde-White? If so how did you find it?

[/quote] I don't know about you, but moving makes my arthritis better. I get up in the morning with aching everywhere (and yes, I've got a bad hip too). I get up at 6:00 and go in the livingroom to do 1 hr of stretching exercises. my routine was based on the Jane Fonda book, with modifications over 30 yrs. I've added yoga,…

SW 187.4 CW 184.6 GW 174.4 10 more lbs to go! I like having a weigh in group. Makes me stay focus and on track! I hope when Xmas gets here you start another one.

I don’t go to a gym. Live too far away out in the country and I don’t exercise. I just retire last spring and am getting my butt off the couch. My job was an on your feet moving all day kind. I have arthritis in one hip that makes walking any long distance out. Just hurts too much. So any ideas, strategies, pointers you…

Oh and water is my favourite drink. I have it with me all day.

Going for one beer evening a week. I mostly just have a couple while I’m making dinner. 280 calories and then it weakens my resolve and I eat food that I really am not hungry for nor want. Plus I’ve dust off my walk tracker and getting out to walk each day. Can’t do lots cause of arthritis in one hip. But aim for 30…

Weigh in today SW - 187.4 CW - 186.9 GW - 173.0 Have to up my activity and stop the beer. Beer is my down fall to being over my calories for a day.

I use a digital scale and been struggling for quite a while months. At 187 goal is 140. Lost first 15 easily then stall out. Ideas?

And how much weigh were you able to lose? I’m the same age and height and have been struggling. My daily calorie is 1330.

Yes! This is what I’m talking about. Back to basics. Simple and stress free and enjoying what you have. I agree about never stop learning and exercising your mind.

That’s it, they’re eating from scratch not processed foods and Good quality foods. My neighbours eat small portions of meat and know where it comes from. I live in the country so getting to a gym is a drive. Your parents are using what they have available to be active. That’s the key IMO is to stay active. Good for your…

That it “quality of life”.

Me too! SW 187 GW 173!

I’m gaining and need to put a stop to it. Right Now! I’m in.

Ok going to dust off my pilate bench. Have arthritis in one hip so jogging or any jarring exercises are out for me. Day 1 for me!

Thank you everyone for all your input!!! <3 :) I’m always pretty open minded when I read any new plan and ask questions and look for input for people. That’s why I posted here to get your input. What I’ve gotten from this thread is I should take the parts that I would follow. Ie Intermitent fasting... I’ve done 16/8 for…

I’m not understanding when the posters are saying he’s a quack. What is it about his claims you disagree with?

I’ve done IF for several years now. First meal between 11-1 and the second 5-7. My body has gotten use to it and I’m never hungry outside of those times. All the scientific reports I’ve read say it’s really good for your body. Keeps it in catabolic state longer.

Totally lose weight when I stop drinking. Same reason. Snacking plus empty calories from the beer. I always go over my daily calorie goal.

I have arthritis in my hip and aquafit works wonders! No pain can do all the exercises.

What’s pescatarian!

So true!!!

I wish I could say I’ve been AF for June but I haven’t. If you can’t be honest here where can you be! Though I have cut back and have had some AF days it isn’t nearly as many as I want. I feel so great the next day when I don’t drink I have to wonder WTH is wrong with me that I don’t want to feel that way all the time! Oh…

1/2 hour to go then I’m pass my stupid hours 3-5. Got my ice tea with me and going fine. I would love to have my nice skin back. I also looked at a picture of me that was taken yesterday and my face does look puffy. Mind you I have 50 lbs to lose but still.

That inspires me to up my weight lifting program. I hate how my thighs look but building up muscle makes sense.

Had the home made ice tea... it was great!!!

Ok! thanks for all your replies! It’s given me strength to stand my own ground knowing you guys thoughts are all along the same lines on mine. It just gets tough having to repeat no so many times. I’ve started to become a hermit to stay away from it which isn’t good. I also don’t know how many times I’ve said I’m…

Oops! Posted it in the wrong thread!

Thank you for the recipe! I ‘m going to make up a container of ice tea right now for the unhappy hours which for me is 3 - 5. If I don’t have anything to drink by 5 I usually don’t have any cravings so don’t drink. I also don’t drink after I’ve had dinner. I try to have my dinner between 5 & 6.
