welcome!!! what type of plan do you have in place? I think 2020 was a rough one for all of us!!!

yes...sweets!!! All I want at night is chocolate!!!! But maybe it's PMS, I should check that too

Hello! I can try to answer a couple of your questions...as far as the macro's go...unless you are using a very specialized type of diet, the macro's really don't matter. It really is just calories in and calories out. If you are using a certain type of diet plan (keto for example) then the macros will matter. I myself just…

No mountains around me, I live in the "great plains" so, a few hills and some river valleys is about all. The rivers make for some pretty hikes though. I've done some Zumba videos through youtube, and used my kids xbox for Just Dance...not quite the same, but still gets the heart rate up. As my kids have gotten older the…

I'm on the headache part of withdrawls right now...ughhh. I started on Sunday so 4 days dry, today is day 5...so by tomorrow i'll actually feel the healthy part of this? Right????

Hi Val and welcome! Agree with Ann, exercise definitely has it's place, but it's the food you're eating that is going to make the difference. Unfortunately with weight loss, exercising is the "easy" part (even when it's not so easy!) and it's the "diet" that's the hard part. I use the word diet in quotation marks because I…

Hi Lee and welcome! What types of goals do you have for yourself? Right now my goal is to get myself back into the gym 4 days a week and to quit drinking alcohol for the month of January. At the end of the month, I'll see where I'm at and then add a new goal. By focusing on a couple of things at a time it's easier for me…

Welcome!!! I did Pilates WAAAAY back when I was in college. It may not look like much, but it was HARD. Glad you're getting back to something you enjoy :)

Welcome, what type of goal do you have? Do you have any type of plan in place you are following?

Hello and welcome! What are your goals here? Maybe we can help lead you in the right direction

I do enjoy hiking in the spring and fall. Unfortunately it's winter now and I don't enjoy the snow and ice at at all! What I most enjoy doing for exercise is weight lifting, it's so fulfilling to see the amounts of weights you are lifting going up. It's a tangible thing where I can see the progress being made. And I like…

well, my concrete goals are to lose 15 pounds by June. And to get my Squat to 150 pounds, my deadlift to 200 pounds and my bench press to 100. Also to take up yoga because I'm old and my body needs it.

welcome to mfp! There are a lot of different groups, challenges, and people that should help you to stay motivated. I agree that keeping your eye on the prize is the best way forward. What goals do you have for yourself?

Best of luck to you! What's your game plan?

i find myself wanting to snack more since I'm not drinking, so not sure that's going to help with weight loss...

Hi Marybeth! It is hard to stick to a program once the initial excitement of a new program wears off. I've found over the years that works best for me is so set small measurable goals, and not to try to do too much at once so I don't get burned out. Instead of telling yourself I'm going to lose 10 pounds this month and…

Hello and welcome back!! For me, the best way to keep going without the restarts is to have set goals and a plan to achieve them. Just saying "I want to get in shape" is vague and won't keep you motivated. So if you have a plan that is measurable and tangible you might have better results. For example my plan might be: I…

Hello and welcome back! I'm excited for you that you feel mentally ready to get yourself into better health. You may find that doing some exercise helps with your depression. I know that it does for me (I still take meds, but the exercise is a boost). Best of luck to you!

Fantastic!! Always reach out if you need a little extra support or encouragement. That's what we are all here for :)

Great work!! glad you are here, there is a whole thread on here dedicated to success stories. It helps to keep me going when I don't want to. So much encouragement there
