Sue me. xD

Thanks. I'm in the process of beginning and it may take me a while to master but I'm not starting this just thinking about weight loss only. This question wasn't based on food... originally I was going to post purely about walking but food comes into account at the end of the day. :)

Awesome! Keep it up! I'm going probably get a Fitbit soon too, so I can see how many steps I've done, etc but I want to get into the swing of it before getting one. ^^

Thanks love and well done so far! Keep it up! :) :flowerforyou:

I plan on running later on when my ankles and knee have healed. :)

I would of thought it was grammar rather than punctuation...

Oh... well excuse that. I'm not 100% accurate with my grammar.

I'm fully aware that eating too many clean foods can also make you gain weight and that eating less than 1200 calories is bad for your body but if I'm having regular size portions and healthy snacks in between I don't think I'll have to worry. I'm not dieting, I'm trying a new lifestyle. If my body gives me signs of…

I'm not stupid. Of course I'm going to cook my meat. You just read raw foods and meat as a whole rather than two separate things and yes, I do see eating raw food and meat as a long term thing. It will be hard to transfer into that state of mind and lifestyle but I'm giving it a shot. I know some people may not agree to it…

That seems like a one fits all judgement and considering you can get some (if not all that) from food I don't see the need to buy the pill versions.

I understand all that but I'm not looking at calorie counting or deficits anymore. I'm looking towards eating raw foods and meat and doing walking and seeing how I go with that.

I keep them on... unless I go swimming. :)

If you can't make yourself go then don't. You have to want to do something in order to do it. Find something that could do that is closer to home. As someone else said get some exercise DVDs, run, swim, etc. You don't have to go to the gym to get fit. :)

Bump.

I'm 5"5.5 at 163.8 lb but I think I was actually lighter when I got my newest pants. I'm a L (an Australian L mind you) but I'm not sure whether that is because Nike seem to make stuff for the smaller side of people or not but also you have to look at the shape of your body. If you are a pear shape you may always be larger…

Bump for answer.

Australian (so partly english) /Australian Aboriginal. :)

Apple sauce.

You need to find something you love to start with and are motivated to achieve. If you don't have that you have nothing.

I'm 21. Feel free to add. :)

For those of you claiming to have it/having it but not being officially diagnosed - why didn't you? Especially if you have children with it? You may have some of the traits but that doesn't mean you have it.

Perfectly said. Well done!

First off, you have taken the first step. You've acknowledged you're overweight and want to do something about it, so well done! Look, the gym isn't for everyone. You have to find an activity you love. I was not very active myself until a few weeks ago (though I have been on my journey longer). Sometime last year I believe…

Well all I can say is, I got diagnosed by a professional when I was around 5 years old. When I was about 18 or 19 I went to see other specialist/doctors (since I was having lots of issues) and they said I also suffer from OCD, paranoia, social anxiety, normal anxiety and ADHD and god knows what else so I can totally relate…

Thank you for sharing your story. I tend to have a lot of meltdown and anxieties. I'm glad you've educated your little one at a young age. It will make him the best he can be for our future. Well done and good luck for the future! :)

I feel a slight bit of smart *kitten* in this and if you're being serious then what the hell? If you try and avoid them then why are you my forum? :laugh:

I'm only doing around 1.85 miles 3 times a week right now and I'm looking at going to 3 miles. I have running shoes already (not properly fitted but not cheap ones either) but I guess I can't kill 2 birds with 1 stone on this one. Thanks for the info!

Haha. Aw. :)

Indeed. :P

You are correct.
