Are you eating back all of your exercise calories? If so, I’d cut those in half. I’ve found they can be higher than what one actually burns. 😊

I just walked 18 holes of golf today!! First time in 20 some years :) I also shot a 78 B)

You can add me as a friend......I've been doing this solo for the last 6 months but would love some company :)

Find something you like to do!!!!!!! It's easier to do something you WANT to do than something you HAVE to do. There's got to be some activity out there that you enjoy? Walking, hiking, cycling, swimming, pickleball, golfing, kayaking...... mountain climbing..... something :) For me walking turned to snowshoeing turned to…

For me...... and this was just for me....... I'm an all or nothing type of person. So I cut out my "Problem" foods. Some were what most people would consider unhealthy (potatoe chips) ..... others I just couldn't control my portions of (cheese and bread) First..... I started wanting to loose 120+ lbs. I knew my food…

Hi.... I'm from central Canada...... trying to mentally prepare for a second Spring snow storm in as many weeks..... ((((sigh)))))

I'm 3 years post double knee replacement. I agree with westrich20940 - work on your core (stomach/sides/back), glutes, quads, and hamstrings!!!! First though..... how's your recovery going? Do you still have a lot of swelling? How's your leg strength? I still have one knee that is a little weaker than the other, but other…

I've got a pair of bone conduction headphones and some Skull Candy Push Ultra's. I usually only wear one of the Skull Candy...... I like to be able to hear ambient noise around me.

I love cutting up a couple of apples - dashing cinnamon over them and having them ready in the fridge. I suggest a sweet/crisp apple like Ambrosia. :)

Are you "eating back" your exercise calories? Maybe they need adjusting?

Ok, I'm going to play devils advocate and maybe go in a different direction. First question is....... are you wanting to lose weight or are you in maintenance? Is this a heavy exercise day? If your wanting to lose ... and ....this is an important "and"... you don't do this often.... then why don't you just say "Wooo Hooo,…
