Try using the things that "piss you off" to motivate you for a power walk. Walking is just putting one foot in front of the other. Slow or fast it doesn't matter, what matters is that you get out and walk. I like to vary my routes too, variety is nice.

I swim as part of my triathlon training. What keeps me motivated are creating different workouts and group swims. We have a tri-club that swims together once a week with a coach giving us the workouts and offering stroke technique. Good luck with your swimming and I hope you find some prescription goggles so you can see in…

The boxing is great! I joined Title Boxing almost a year ago and I love it! When I've had a bad day at work, I take it out on the bag. Go home stress free! Walking is another good option. Good luck!

That sounds great! We had fruit-infused water at a restaurant once and I remember how good it was!

^^^ This^^^ time for a new doctor, one that will listen to you and work with you.

Wow! that looks good!

I'll be walking with a friend.

THIS!

All of the above and take measurements. Sometimes if you are exercising and tracking your food, the scale may not show a change but the measurements will. Good Luck!

1.4 is a good loss. Go to the grocery store, pick up a 1 pound package of something. THAT is what you WERE carrying around, but not any more. Good luck! You can do this.

All of the above!

LIKE!

Check with your gym, most will offer a tutorial on the machines so you ARE using them correctly. Good Luck!

Good information! Thanks.

Everyone's feet are different. As several have said, get to a running store and have an assessment done.

This is what I use...Stair-treadmill ergometer, general

Take pictures so as you continue to loose, you'll really be able to see the difference. Way to go!!

Whether it is a 14 minute mile or a 7 minute mile, IT IS STILL A MILE!

Go To the GYM! JUST DO IT!!!

Threads like this are exactly why I don't post much! Especially any advice!

That is so cool! You are an inspiration!

Not any more! Love my workouts! Elliptical, weights, walking outside when the weather isn't 105 degrees!

Set an achievable goal. Meet that goal a few times then build on if. If your goal is to walk/run 1 mile do that then add a little more each time. I started with a mile or two in January, now I average 4 -6 miles on my walks. Mix your workout up. Walk, Elliptical, Bike, Rowing machine. Try different things on your workouts.…
