When I began, I would set time limits for jogging and walking intervals. I increased my jogging intervals and decreased walking intervals by 15-30 seconds every week. I started out with 1 mile runs and increased mileage roughly every 4-6 weeks. I’ve heard of an app called couch to 5k which essentially follows the same…

Thanks everyone! @ferniejoy67 ..I did NOT want to take that first photo. 😂 Glad I did tho.

Mine is open to friends, if you’d like to be my friend. I am lactose intolerant, which does change the types of foods I eat.

I usually fast for 12 hours at night. I usually eat a big dinner and then fast until lunch the next day. I do continue to drink water during this time to keep my metabolism running.

I am right there with you. I have exreme highs and lows. Some days I think I may vomit just making myself eat. Other days I want all comfort food all day. I try to fast for 10-12 hours at a time and get plenty of cardio in. I’m here if you ever need anything.

Thanks Otherbill23 😁

I’ve suffered from depression for as long as I can remember. I just recently got off all medications. I still see the psychiatrist regularly. (Not suggesting you do anything except what works for you). Exercise has helped me cope. I am also a masochist type of personality, so the pain of a workout helps ease the mental…

That’s so awesome!!! You’re a beast! (I don’t know how to add friends) but I’d love to be here for you thru your journey!

Kick *kitten* and take names fatman! I’m {expletive} proud of you and I know your kids will be too!

I’d love to have friends that don’t wanna be nasty pricks trying to bone everyone. Thanks!

I would advise cutting back. This app helped me with portion control and sweets. I will eat fruits or smoothies to satisfy my cravings for sweet things. If you cut sweets out completely, you will be likely to cave in and binge then feel like a failure. I did things such as switching from whole milk to 2% then to Monday and…

The first month is the most difficult. Once you get past that, it’s easier.

I’ve been on MFP for about 2 months, but this is my first time in the forums. Glad I came! This could be a positive experience interacting with people with less anxiety. :) keep up the good work!

Saysaangel I would love to be here to support you and be helpful if you ever need it. I like to practice engaging with other while jogging. I keep my head up and smile/wave at people, however, I keep moving and wear headphones so nobody expects me to stop and chat. It helps give me a little confidence in my interactions…

Thank you so much! How is your journey?

I’d love to have some active friends. Any runners around?

I’m a little far, in Jax.

Nice work so far! This app has helped me make healthier choices, without sacrificing everything I love to eat. It has helped me get better at portions and is really easy to use. Keep kicking butt!
