My original goal was to lose 4.5kg and get better at yoga. But my goals have changed during the process. Now I want to lose 1 last kg (for a total of 6kg) and eventually be able to run 10k (I'm barely training for 3k

Thanks. I'm much better now. It's time to focus on the future instead of the past :)

You're right. Yoga and learning to cook sounds like something that can help.

I know this is a place to be positive. But I'm struggling with personal problems right now. Just when I'm so close to my goal weight I discovered that my boyfriend has been cheating on me for the last 5 months minimum. My weight loss is fantastic though, I'm loosing weight even faster than I planned and I have managed not…

Yeah. I'm terrible with diets too. Not even balanced diets where there is no restrictions. I just don't like being told what to eat and what not to eat. I like having freedom to eat whatever i want with very generic rules about calories and healthy balance. I know I'm not being helpful. Sorry.

I'm feeling very proud and positive today about my fitness progress. Yesterday I did my first "experimental" running training (tomorrow is the "official" start :wink: ) and today I was able to achieve a yoga pose that was specially hard for my weak arms. The whole point of this journey to me is about having more energy, so…

This has been a difficult week, but still I'm hitting my main fitness/eating goals. I wish the scale would be nicer with me though

Oh this is weird my comment didn't post complete…

You're looking great Hollywood! I'm always so self conscious to take photos of myself, specially when my weight is up

Well yes but "should have's" don't help us. It's better to leave the past in the past and focus on future habits. One day at a time ^^

I think it depends on the habit. I can totally picture myself getting the habit of walking and running in 21 days. But I don't know if I can get rid of my sugar addiction in the same amount of time. In a totally different subject, has anybody here tried to learn/re-learn how to use a bike as an adult? :blush: I was not a…

I am a stress eater. But I am also a stress "exerciser". The first stress reliever makes me feel guilty afterwards while the second calms my mind. What I end up doing is almost always my own choice, so basically if I am trying to loose weight, I try to focus on activity. Keeping myself busy and not having…

Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing! ❤️

Yeah I've been doing this for 7 weeks so far and my boyfriend just started to notice haha

Sorry about your tummy @Hauntedhollywood I've also done some "sneak peek" weight ins just to find out how erratically weight fluctuates. I've done everything right so I should ignore those numbers even if they are not so good on Sunday either.

Haha oh well I'm sure any other fruit can be just as helpful :wink:

I love peanut butter as well, but I'm afraid I can't control myself around it, so I avoid it :blush:

Sorry about that

Yesterday was a great day. I'm having a lot of fun with the Fitbit challenge!

I'm lazy at cooking, I try to make it as easy as possible so I can keep doing it in the long run. So my favorite snack is either tea or coffee with a banana :smiley:

This was not an easy week, I'm still having neck pain after 2 weeks and it's been hard to do yoga as I used to, but I am making at least a little bit of progress. This week I lost 1 pound, which is better than zero but it's not as good as my previous weeks. To make next week easier I need to buy enough healthy groceries so…

Hope you feel better @Hauntedhollywood

Yes I should definitely have more of that. I haven't measured the water I'm drinking and I probably should.

I was behaving "badly" last week, eating more than I should and not exercising enough. Fortunately I didn't gain any weight back but I want to get back on track, no only in loosing weight but most importantly in getting my healthy habits checked. Having said that, I don't want to overwhelm myself either because that's the…

I'm realizing now that I never introduced myself :blush: So I'm Cristina, I'm 38 years old, I'm 5'4", I've lost 5 lbs in the last 32 days and I want to loose another 4-6 lbs in the next 12 weeks. I overeat when I'm bored and I binge eat when I'm depressed. I'm constantly gaining and loosing the same 10 lbs, so my main goal…

I'm terrible at following specific diets. Watching portions and calories works better for me. However, what I decided to do differently this time, was to follow a very logical advice that I heard in a podcast: getting rid of all unhealthy temptations at home, while filling the refrigerator with lots of fruits and…

Yoga is my favorite exercise even if I'm not great at it. Keeps my back painless. But I've been dealing with this annoying pain in my neck for a whole week now (bad sleeping habits) and for this reason I wasn't very active last week. However, no matter how much it hurts, I know that being inactive is not going to help me…

I use the FitStar Yoga app, I find it very effective since the exercises are customized for my level :smile: I'm so inconsistent at things, the only way I've been able to advance is by doing a little bit everyday, first thing in the morning, even if it means getting up earlier. If I leave exercise for the afternoon or the…

I haven't done any exercise yet. Just food tracking. I plan to do at least 30 min of yoga in the evening, and go to bed early so I'll do my yoga exercises tomorrow first thing in the morning.
