The best thing is to just never leave. That way you don't have to come back. I'm here 8 and a half years, approximately.

I'm 55 with hypo. I exercise but I find it makes me pretty hungry. Weight loss is more about what you eat - or don't eat - then how much you move

I think there are groups here for that. didn't your dr recommend an in person support group too?

have you had your thyroid checked?

yay!!!!!!

It's a very hard time for everyone. Most people gained. The important thing is to set the scale moving the other way.

Exercising definitely makes me hungrier. Plus a drink a lot more water. Measure your portions and listen to your body !

Good habits = discipline. They kick in when you're used to them.

Let's not call it a Diet. Let's call it a Lifestyle Change. Otherwise you won't lose the weight and subsequently keep it off.

It shouldn't be your only exercise, though.

Been this way for years. Sigh …...

Put 2 dumbells together. Vary your training to accommodate what you have.

Added both of you !

Maybe intermittent fasting would be beneficial to you.

The virus only lives on cardboard for 4 hours. Gloves are not important. Clean hands are important.

I lose 7 inches from each thigh when I started spinning a few times a week.

I have a bunch of old school ones that I use - Turbo Jam, Karen Voight, Kari Anderson, Billy Blanks .. The Firm ….

So friend some people that you like on the forums.

Battle ropes are indeed very exciting!!!!!

there is no way to wear a mask in the pool. I assume pools won't open until there is a vaccine.

The Like button killed MFP. We all said it would.

Seek professional help. We are moms and college students and neighbors. Not professionals. We can't help you.

As I like to say, I've never met a rower that I didn't like!!!

The Heartbreak Kid. And I just found out that Jerry Stiller died!

First of all, if you never leave, you don't have to come back or start over. 2ndly, motivation wears thin. That's why working out and eating right have to be made a part of your daily life as a discipline. When motivation is gone, discipline - habits- take over.

I had to really cut down my breakfast and lunch eating due to age related weight gain. In the morning I have: an Ounce cheese Coffee Banana later in the morning I have: a hard boiled Egg Calcium and vitamin d enriched orange juice with a little green tea mixed in.

Cardio has a specific definition. It has to raise your heart rate, involve large muscle groups, and be rhythmic.

right now i'm doing intervals 5 days a week, a band or pilates type class in the middle, and a rest day walk. when Covid is over, I'll back to spin class 2 or 3 days a week interspersed with intervals and probably band or pilates once a month or so. I'll get plenty of walking in my regular life so that'll get cut out.

A trainer I knew was at 4% for a show. Said it was SO hard.
