That would be nice, but I find it hard to justify spending on those services when I'm already paying between $140-215 a week for my physical therapy. I guess I just feel guilty spending all this $.

I completely stopped drinking Starbucks after getting a kuerig and no more fast food. I need to confirm with my Dr if I can be on the elliptical but doesn't sound too bad.

Any suggestions on how to create a good exercise routine in between a busy schedule? We are trying to cut back in expense so we don't have a gym membership.

I will look into that book, thanks for the advice!

Thanks for your advice and support! I love the elliptical when I go to the gym. We currently don't have a membership bc we're trying to cut back on expenses. But hopefully some walking would be a good start.

Oh no, I don't guess. I've been reading all my labels, measuring and counting my calories. At my old job I used to walk to my car at least 40 min a day and take at least 10 flights of stairs. I had a hospital job where I was constantly walking or speed walking all day long. Now I have a desk job, and I commute 2 hours a…

Great advice! I might sneak in a 30 min walk after lunch, maybe a 30 min walk before dinner?

I know my body needs exercise it felt so good when it did it often. I just need a good routine and method. It's frustrating I can't go full throttle because of my back injury and dieting isn't helping.

I'm no stranger to measuring and counting, oven doing it for 3 years! I went from being extremely active before marriage to super sedentary after. And even cutting back on my daily calories wasn't enough to get results.

Thanks for asking. Dr has me doing some physical therapy. He says walking is good and I can do it 1-2 hours daily. I can't lift anything and squat. I'd like to burn calories quickly without straining my lower back.

Great response, I love the way you put this! I will look into investing into a slow cooker and researching some healthy recipes. We have been taking the dogs on walks some evenings for about 30 minutes. We need to work on making it routine. I have the calorie deficit on check, I think my body is craving activity. Thank you…

I have definitely cut back my portions, calories, even subbed for low-sugar/gluten-free/vegan meals. I eat between 1000-1400 calories daily. I've been doing this for at least 3 months with no results. As for hubby, he works about 60+ hours a week and tries to help as much as possible, I finally breakdown the other day and…

Its crazy how stress causes you to gain/lose weight. I've had a wonderfuly stressful year and need to lose at least 40 pounds now. How much time would you spend walking daily? My doctor recommended 1-2 hours for me but I feel like I'd get bored quickly. Unfortunately I can't do much right now bc of a back injury.
