Doctor said I need to reduce stress and Prolactin will go down. My post was about how to readjust my program to make it less intense but manage to keep working out.

Thank you so much. Everyone has been so kind with their words. Will take it all into consideration. Will keep striving

Thank you so much guys. This really helped. Nighthawk, wow... great job! You make me feel embarrassed now being 10 years younger and talking like I'm older. I hope I grow older motivated like you. It's really inspiring. ChickieBoom, I do enjoy my workouts. I love almost every kind of sport. I love breaking a sweat. I love…

Glovepuppet, I know that's true. It's just hard doing it :( Alzzi, thank you so much! That was actually heartwarming.

Elfin, I am cranking up the speed because I feel I want to get it out of the way and done with. I worry if I tone it down a bit I will slack off like before :/

I think I’m unhappy cuz I realize at this age it’s harder to burn fat compared to my 20s and early 30s. I don’t want to keep working out this hard as I get older. I would like to do walking, Pilates or yoga or light stuff instead of this strenuous workout. It feels good but it’s so stressful. I’m also not enjoying my life.…

Thank you guys... very useful suggestions.

Thanks for the feedback. I feel the community here is dead for some reason :(

Shor, thank you so much for the full explanation. That was seriously helpful. I haven't explored the gym fully yet. I was mainly focusing on the things I was using and I never paid attention to the strength training area. I'll check it out soon and see what options are there. I guess maybe I was feeling embarrassed asking…

Ok I just googled barbell safety and I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru0scbx8DuI In the gym I go to there's an area with similar equipment like this... I think I saw just a bar and you can add the weight to it. I'm assuming this area has these safety things and there's another area with bars already…

Oh ok... I'll try putting something under my feet I guess. But uh... what are safeties? hehe. Sorry might be a stupid question. I'm getting the impression there's some kind of item that works as a safety for bars you mean? I only saw an adjustable bench and a huge rack with two types of bars (straight bar and bars with…

Tavis, I see. Will try!

I will get the book. Thank you so much for all your comments. I will try!! I never really saw any use for lifting to be honest. But in a way it did strengthen my body a little.

Tavis, aside from losing the excess, I want to raise my endurance. I was doing really well before the holiday. I was depending on cycling here but I didn't consistently workout as planned. I want to be able to run longer and feel overall stronger but I don't know how to 'quantify' that into milestones. How do I do that?

I gave myself 3 months cuz there are days I just crash and I don't want get up back on my feet easily. Going to the gym everyday is a bit too much for me. I'm currently 56 kilos and it's making my life miserable. I want to go back to my usual weight which is 53. I suck at strength training. I can't lift more than 3 kilos…
