That's true. Thank you!

See that is what I was thinking, but I am afraid I won't see results and then I will give up.

If your started a workout routine it’s water weight. You’ll stall the first week or so of a new routine. Your muscles hold on to water to heal. I’m pretty good with the workout stuff and answers. I love my workouts. My eating sucks because I also love my food. Hahaha! Thats why I can’t lose weight. I was successful with…

even though I am a week late can I add myself to the spreadsheet? I just found this :)

I have a SIL just like that! So I get it. It was not meant in a "loving" way. It was not meant in a "joking" way. She just did not think her 5 year old son would think to tell you what was said. I also have a 5 year old nephew and his concern was real because she said it with a hateful tone. They distinguish that. I also…

That’s my type of burpee! Lol

I love all these and I got lots of new ideas! Lol. For those that said they don’t have weird habits, everyone does. You just haven’t noticed yours yet. Lol.

Welcome back and good luck. We got this!

That losing weight is not the focus and should never be the motivation. Getting healthy and feeling healthy is the goal. The numbers on the scale are only a plus to the journey.

Add me and I will send you my FitBit information

I lost my daughter about 8 years ago almost 9. I’m a high risk pregnancy. I’ve been wanting to try for another but I realize I cannot go through that heartache again. So the fitness journey it is! 💜

Thank y’all!

Haha! Yea, but I don’t even know what works best. Like I said the women’s one a day made me sick. 😔

YES!!!! Me, me, me, pick me!! Lol. I love my God fearing mommas. :smiley:

I've always had an iron deficiency since I started a menstrual cycle. It's quite common in females.

Welcome back! I came back a couple of months ago and then fell off for a month and started again. I've always been active, but my eating habits are horrible. So I am looking for motivation and accountability. I need a reason to log everyday and keep track. I am working on an MBA concentration in Finance. I am sure I will…

The iron is what I need. Maybe that explains why I got sick. Thank you!

I'm not a stay at home mom, but I am a busy mother trying to get healthy.

You and me both! Good luck :smile:

I have started about 4 times in the last six months. Haha! I am still trying to learn what is right for me. Good luck!

I don't think it's the Redbulls but it might be. I had a dependency on them back when I was trying to manage life and earn my degree. I was eventually hospitalized for side effects. I stopped them for about two years and just started up again the last 3 or 4 months for a small boost. I am not dependent on them this time,…

Thank you so much! I appreciate your response. As for the vegetarianism, I don't think it will be magic. Honestly I just got tired of meat. I have never been a red meat person mostly chicken and shrimp, but even these days those just don't sound good. So I figured it was a good time to try something different. Not really a…

Thank you all I appreciate the advice and encouragement. I am taking it all in and putting it all into use. I know I will get the hang of this with all your help. :smiley:

My grandmother raised me and she worked from about 7 in the morning to around 10 or 11 at night. She woke up to make homemade tortillas, breakfast, and lunch for all of us. During her break between shifts she made sure we had dinner made everyday. We cleaned house and so did she. We were responsible for our room and the…

I'm actually extremely healthy to be over weight. No diabetes, thyroid, high blood pressure, blood works always comes back exceptional. However, I get bad migraines and seizures. That's not because of my weight, I've had them since I was 3; but I know my weight is eventually going to make them worse. This fatigue is making…

Don't think I am not taking everyone's advise into consideration. I am taking it all in and going to work it into a new routine. However, my household is run a little different. Nothing wrong with you way or my way, just two different ways. It's easy for people to say everyone does something or everyone does this or that.…

I was always curious if you were supposed to be measuring calories in general or net calories. I'm going to work on upping my calories and not working out so hard everyday. Maybe I'll get some of my energy back.

Everyone in my household has responsibilities, but yes the house work falls more on me. The kids room as to be cleaned by them, their bathroom is their responsibility, and they have to take out the trash. Everything else is my responsibility though. There's just not enough hours in the day. I am sure you understand that.…

It's not sustainable. That's why I reached out for help because I don't know how to juggle all of it, but I know it all has to be juggled. I knew there were more experienced people that could guide me in the right direction. I know I can't continue the way I am. I am literally at my desk after a 20oz redbull fighting to…

I am not sure what you mean by excuses. The last thing I do is make excuses. I work, take care of a household, and still workout. The last thing I do is make excuses. I stated numerous of times on this post this is just new to me and that's why I am reaching out for help from more experienced people.
