I'm currently waking up to get moving before I start work at 7:30 PM. It's a temporary job and I missed exercise this morning. It rained and my ankles were sore from standing up at my desk for the past several shifts so I did some stretches for a few minutes and am eyeing my Gazelle Slider which I may do at "lunch" later…

I did keto and then went to intermittent fasting, now I want to go back to keto again. I will still do IF such as 16:8. I am 65 years old and returning to MFP now for about a week. I am doing a bit of exercising as well. Covid19 has not helped my fitness - LOL! I hope this is an active keto group as well since some of the…

Changes I'm making to try and take care of myself. I'm thinking I may try keto again, only this time be prepared with easy snacks and foods I can make myself beforehand. Be intentional about the food I eat; notice how I feel afterwards. I am tracking my food here on MFP. I fashioned a few large plastic bins and set them…

Ok I requested to be friends, good luck and I hope you make lots of friends!

Keto leg cramps at night: Can someone talk about how to prevent leg cramps when first starting keto? I am going to start keto - and I remember leg cramps. This is very important for people new to keto to know and it was information I did not know and caused me a few months of leg cramping and waking up getting leg cramps…

I'm checking out Miso for gut health.

@NadiaMayl Gosh, I gained weight too, good for you to take control! Hope you are on your way to getting where you want in your health/fitness journey!

@Melly045 It's motivating to hear someone return to walking! I haven't walked regularly in a long time. It does feel good!

Here is a photo I took of my "stand up" desk I created at home. I'm proud to say it is better for me - not only do I burn more calories but I can move around, stretch my legs & back and feel better & more alert standing here working on my computer. I make video chat calls for Amazon to their employees all night long and…

good quality probiotics & organic foods, of course

@canadjineh yes it was very good! I'm eating a lot of salmon now!

Thanks for posting this - I am going to watch it tonight! I am new to tracking my carbs. I see that going low-carb makes a difference according to what I'm reading! Please feel free to add me as a friend! THANK YOU!

Wonderful! That's a lot of progress!

Inspiring! Thanks for posting! I love the pictures people post and may get one of mine out to show that I have weight to lose!

I'm trying to start on 5:2 since after doing 16:8 fasting I feel I can more to a little more challenging fasting routine. I tried a 32 hour fast with under 500 calories during that fast and also a 24 hour fast: these during the past three weeks. Fasting really helps and I've been watching Thomas DeLauer on YouTube talk…

@mertlemae1969 I use MapMyWalk and am happy with it.

I am a 65 year old female with weight to lose and I would like to join this group and make friends here so that I read what others are doing. I don't like to exercise so need motivation and I like learning new things that other people are doing to help them on their fitness journey. Feel free to add me as a friend as I…

I did not walk today but this is what I'm doing this evening: 1) Stand up desk 2) Foot Peddler 3) Drinking water 4) Tracking my food I slept all day because I work nights and I spend work sitting and talking on video chats so get little exercise. Yesterday I created a "stand up desk" with large plastic bins on my table…

oh well I don't know how to delete this comment :o

@changeforeverlj Thanks for sharing that information: Lesley Sansome which I'll check out and the fitbit which I have never tried. I have to make this as fun as I can, and rewarding, in order to stick with it! Have a great day! :)

Walking progress... I'm not good at exercising - I'm not motivated but I have been walking 30 mins/day for the last three days and feel better already! I also download the Map My Walk app that connects to MFP and this makes the walk funner to track and I like that it maps out where I walked. I believe I've not made the…

Salmon with side of chopped mushrooms, sunflower seeds, broccoli, spinach, lemon juice, non-dairy cheddar cheese & grated parmesan cheese, with sour cream.

Hi, this group looks like it's right for me! I am around 210 lbs., having gained weight during Covid19. Now I am starting to realize I must be more active every day and have bought several exercise devices to help me start to get active at home. I feel uncomfortable at a gym and they also take time to get to and are just…

Hello, I am returning to MFP because I want to make progress in my fitness and am 65 years old. I want to become more active because due to Covid19 like everyone else I have not gotten enough exercise and have a job where I work from home sitting in front of a computer at night. I'm looking at ways to improve my health &…

I have done keto for about two years but gave that up because I began "cheating" and didn't feel I was losing much weight. Then I began IF for about a year and began to feel better but being a senior who doesn't get much exercise I began learning more about fasting longer than the 16:8 I had felt comfortable with. I…

I'm returning to MFP and want to lose weight and look trim and be healthy and energetic because I want to find a job in a few months when my contract job is over and look presentable. COVID19 has kept me less active and I want to make a turn-around and like my appearance better.
