I have anxiety. It hasn't been that bad in some years now, but I did have a pretty bad panic attack last week relating to my weightloss journey. I found that when my anixety started to get high, it was best I go walk it off or jog it off at the gym. If you don't have a gym membership, then try putting on a YouTube video to…

You could do quinoa & steamed veggies with a side of lean protein of your choice. You could do breakfast for dinner and make a burrito. You could also start doing meal preps & prepping for 3 days in advance. I used to do premade oats & burrito bowls for my meal prep. There's lots of meal prep vids on YouTube. I haven't…

So sorry to hear about the tumor. Glad you're okay though! Thanks for the tips! I will definitely add them into my home workouts. I tend to carry most of my weight in my mid section and lower stomach. I started changing my bad eating habits about a month ago & then started going to the gym a week ago & taking it more…

I took my measurements I think the day before I started going to the gym & started taking progress pics once a week, 2 weeks ago. I haven't taken my measurements again since.

I'm sorry the app wasn't of much use. Dm me if you want to talk about it. Remember that weight fluctuates all the time throughout the day, but don't give up! Exercising is only half the battle.

I can't afford their personal trainers right now which is why I don't have a plan. It's just not in the budget for me atm. I'm still trying to figure out a way to create an effective workout plan on my own. In another post, I asked for help with or suggestions to a site that could help me with that. I'll check out that…

There's a lot there. It's sort of more like a fitness "mall" really. 😅 It's 2 stories big. There's machines for your side abs, one that does crunches, a pull up bar, olipticals, treadmills, old stationary bikes from the 80s and some newer ones, treadmills, a rowing machine, a delts machine, a machine that works your outer…

I don't have any sweatpants & only have 2 pairs of shorts one of those pairs doesn't fit me anymore & they're denim. All my shirts are dress up blouses. I know I need to go shopping, but just don't really know where to go. We'll be in a bigger city this weekend when we go get groceries so I can check out the thrift stores…

I'm female, size Medium & Large in shirts & size Large in leggings. True size is 13 for jeans & shorts. There's an outlet mall here, but it's mostly stuff like Forever21 & Nike footwear with a few higher end brands for jewelry or clothes. They closed Aeropostale last year for remodeling so I haven't been back there since.…

I will check Amazon out today! Thanks :)

That's okay. I'm sure I'll figure it out They closed the only thrift store in town a few months ago. Not enough people were going to it. The goodwill here also closed their store about 2 years ago.

A side of some vegan maple sausages & a few vegetarian chorizo, eggs, & potato burritos. It's not that high in calories, but I'm trying really hard to stay away from heavily processed foods right now or at least for a little while.

@neyagoal I was just curious what other people had on their phones for fitness. I didn't really have a specific goal in mind with finding one. Just wanted to know what other people used. :D The apps I have on my phone for fitness are Lose weight in 30, down dog, MFP, & 30 day fitness challenge. Awesome! I'll check it out…

I'm not sure why the app never posted my reply, but thank you all for your replies. I know there's no such thing as spot reduction. I was meaning I wanted help with exercises that you could feel in the lower stomach more if that makes sense because I wasn't really feeling it work my lower ab section when I'm on the ab…

It's going to be difficult at first & you shouldn't beat yourself up for slipping every now and then. Everyone has been in that position at one time or another. You're trying to create healthy eating habits and those things take time. The most important thing is to do your best and keep at it. There's lots of friends on…

Well it's active rest day for me, but it's only 2:30am here, so I won't be leaving for another 4 hours or so. I'm going to take my dog for a walk & then when I get back do a bit of yoga.

Interesting. I weigh myself probably every other day since the scale is in our hallway, but I never obssess over the numbers. I do the same as @o0kody0o ,it helps me keep on track to make healthier eating choices when I see where it's at and how much closer I am to my goal. If I see the scale says I gained weight, I try…

It sounds to me like you may not be getting enough calories. As above said, try just focusing on getting your daily calories first before you decide to fast. Remember that men need a different calorie intake than women too, so make sure you calculate your bmi to get the right amount of calories to meet your needs & goals.…

It depends on how long your cycle is? Do you keep track of that? Generally, a normal period cycle is between 25-35 days. You cycle starts from the first day of your last period to your next. I would suggest going into talk to your OBGYN for more information. I, myself have an irregular cycle so sometimes I won't get it for…

I have a problem controlling myself when it comes to carbs like pasta too. I know you're type 2 diabetic so you'll need some bit of sugar. You can get that sugar from dried fruit, bread, & 100% juice. Usually banana chips are fairly cheap by the lb where I live. Green Giant recently came out with veggie "noodles" so you…

I had a lemon Lärabar protein bar before my workout

Thank you! I'm currently on my way out to see my Dr, but I will look for the book once I get back! I can't do push ups or pull ups just yet, but your routine sounds great! 🙂

Thanks again for the information guys! 😊

Thank you all for the info. I will check out those links! I have health issues which is why I take Women's One-A-Day multivitamin to help with vitamins I may fall short on. I'm a vegetarian as well & have been doing fine with the supplement I've got. I asked about the supplements because it would seem every fitness site…

No, I've been with them for a while. They don't offer free trial personal trainers. I asked last week for help & they referred me to the wall of personal trainers that you have to pay for. They do offer all their fitness classes there free though, but to be honest I don't like those group workouts. I have the Libby app…

I started changing my eating habits almost a month ago, but I didn't start hitting the gym really seriously till about a week ago. I cut out all the crap I was eating like sugar, processed foods, & don't eat out nearly as often, so in that time I've lost about 4lbs in the last month. I had a weigh in yesterday when I saw…

Thank you very much for all the information! I will open a tab now for the interview!

Sorry I thought I put that in this post, I guess I forgot. I want to lose weight while also trying to define my muscles. I'm not in a hurry to lose weight or want to see fast results now. I know it'll happen when it happens & to just keep up with creating more healthy habits, & strength building first. I'm 27, 4'9", & my…

Awesome! Thanks i'll check it out right now!

Hi there! Just remember it seems hard now, but the pay off will be well worth it in the end!
