Depression is a tough thing to get through. You don't have to do T25 or yoga to start out, just start walking . It'll help with your depression and give you extra energy as you build your stamina back. Once you start to get more energized add in a couple yoga classes per week or a T25 class. Here's a link to an article…

Not sure on the amount, I know on occasion I'd eat a bag of reeses mini's during lunch. Amazing what the body adjusts to, couldn't eat that much sugar and fat now.

Fitbit works well on the treadmill or out walking. Doesn't track when lifting weights or doing yoga etc...

asked my doctor at my last physical, bmi charts are misleading.

ready yourself emotionally as well as physically. Be consistent.

Vinyasa Yoga is the first exercise I did when starting my journey. It helped me immensely, but you'd have to do it 4x a week for an hour to have the effect you're looking for. I mixed in weights and cardio during the week. with yoga.

Yea! Make sure that person is right for you. If you don't respond well with a drill sergeant type, search around. I found a Fitness Instructor who teaches yoga and core strength training. Pushes me through encouragement and instruction not shouting.

Usually not hungry in the morning, but I know it's essential to eat something. Today I had coffee and vanilla Yopa! Greek yogurt, usually coffee and granola bar or nutrigrain bar.

Good Luck Amis... on your test- Pass the NASM CPT exam - I got my CPR/AED certification (which is a prerequisite for taking the exam). I will probably schedule the test for the 27th. Pulled a groin muscle early in the month missed 3 days of working out. Been sick this week missed 4 more days of working out. On the brighter…

After doing circuit training for the last 4 months getting into free weights was actually pretty enjoyable. Worked on back and biceps...feeling it today especially after the curl exercise called 21 Gun Salute. Very excied about the change up, i was getting bored jogging on the treadmill and just doing the machines...

Snacks are important, don't cut them out entirely. Make it more of an event something to look forward to, like afternoon tea :) grab a single serving of your fav snack, take time to heat up water pour yourself a cup of herbal tea or coffee. Then just sit slowly and enjoy your snack. I found when I take my time I'm not as…

I've found the same. My brother lost a lot of weight on the Atkins diet but regained it back once he went off it. I agree with making a lifestyle change rather than finding a quick weight loss diet.
