I warmed up for 5 min with jumping jacks, jogging, and running up and down a staircase. I ended the workout with a 5 minute full body stretch. I am very unexperienced with exercising, but I don't see where I could've done something wrong. The workout was difficult for me, I am no doubt very weak, but I managed to do it.…

I've always loved this one (for multiple reasons) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGNiXGX2nLU

I believe I might have developed some sort of food sensitivities due to the years of poor eating, but I don't know if IBS is it, tbh, sometimes, like with chips and french fries, the reason seems quite simple. I think high fat foods are troublesome for me. Nuts are quite high in fat, so that might be why they trouble me…

Sounds like a good name for those types of foods, I'm definitely better off not having them around at all. Does he have a separate cabinet or a room where he can store things like that? Now I'm just being curious, I don't share my place with anyone, but maybe I will in the future.

Thank you all for the tips! I think I might try carrots and a dip, sounds healthy enough to me, and if it works, that's great. I'm not trying to hit any goals at all while eating chips, the reason why I eat chips is completely unrelated to any macro or calorie goal that I have. I will continue to eat chips even if I am so…

I do eat carrots with my food (I like carrots), but I doubt that I would ever go above 2 carrots a day if that was my snack as well. Sounds nice and safe, I hope? Now, maybe I'd look good orange, but I doubt it.

I have never heard of that before, but we do have chips made out of lentils and chickpeas around, they're just like chips to me though, I'll eat the entire bag. My portion control is only off when it comes to chips, my stomach is rather "small" but somehow I can manage to eat 300g of chips. Maybe I should go with carrots…

I've never heard of that before, after googling it I don't think we got it where I live, sadly. I do buy raw veggies, I do stick to the cheaper kinds, but I do buy them. When it comes to snacking I want to be able to do it without worrying about it costing too much money. I live in Sweden, I can get carrots, potatoes and…

I'll have to try that, thank you! :) Haha, I wish I didn't have the issues I do, I would probably not change if I didn't x) But, I should probably be happy that my body has started to protest, eating breakfast and then one bag of chips and call that it for the day? No bueno.

Thank you for the suggestions! I think seaweed might be a bit too expensive for me, but the other options are doable for sure! Hummus I do all the time, but usually not to snack on. Do you just put the potato (raw?) in the microwave? I've never cooked potatoes like that, how long does it usually take to cook? I also…

Oh, it's alright :) You made me look up vegan cottage cheese and now I might try it out!

Thank you both for the suggestions! I have tried nuts before, I certainly don't eat as many of them (they don't taste nearly as good as chips, so that might be why) but I sometimes get stomach issues from those as well. I suppose it might be worth to try again, even if they're high in calories they do contain more "good…

Yep, but not Stockholm!

Bumping in hopes of finding more people that I have something in common with. :relaxed:

I'm not sure how much I will log what I eat, and I may not have the weight loss part in common with most people here, but feel free to add me :) I'm ready to start the journey to a better life.

Alright, thank you for the tip :)

I don't think I did, no. I bookmarked the video and read what they had on the page the link lead to. Is it the one they call "beginner bodyweight routine worksheet"? I didn't pay much attention to those before since they looked a bit like ads.

Thank you both! :blush: I hope this platform will help me stay motivated, or at least remind me to stay motivated. I'm planning on making a schedule, not sure if it will help, but maybe it's a good idea for someone like me to make daily plans.

Thank you for your reply, lorrpb! You've had amazing progress! I hope I will notice some type of progress after a few weeks, I don't care what it is, maybe just feeling a little better in general? I'm more than alright with it taking longer than that, but I almost wish that I had problem areas that I could judge…

Thank you for your reply! 3 days it is then :smile: I guess I could aim at starting to run in the spring, by then I should be quite comfortable with this new routine, and any snow (more likely slush) would be gone. I will do my best to try to make this work.

I'm completely plant based, but I just made this account and I don't how soon I will start logging, I have so much going on in my life at the moment, but I definitely will at some point. Anyone may add me if they want :blush:
