  • Don't look down while walking unless absolutely necessary like to avoid stepping in dog crap. Put the cell phone away and go for a walk. Looking down all the time disrupts your sense of balance. Try to look forward in the distance. Keep your head up and level. Then try looking up at the sky while walking and then looking…

  • I suggest reading this about DOMS: What Is Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) and What Can You Do About It? https://www.healthline.com/health/doms I get that sore after the first mowing and sacking of grass clippings of the year or when I start up with too much exercise after not doing it for a while. I feel like I've…

  • Also there's the usual. Lay out your exercise clothes the night before so you see them and they remind you and you don't have to dig for them so you lose interest. Out of sight = out of mind. Habit stack. Do this, then that. For example, when you go to bathroom, then do 5 pushups or whatever. Set reminders like alarms.…

  • Find your why. I mean a real why not just I want to look good in these jeans. That's shallow and won't last. I watched my mom in her "old" age. She died at 72. She didn't exercise so she got physically weaker so I had to open jars and even got to the point I had use the manual can opener to open canned food for her. She…

  • Buy yourself a pretty water bottle and a reusable straw. Using a straw tends to increase fluid intake according to research. I find this works. Personally I like to see my water levels so I get transparent bottles. I need the visual reminder of how much is left. Out of sight is out of mind for me. Some water bottles also…

  • They need to shut up or the instructor needs to kick them out of the class (it's disrespectful to the instructor and the other students too who paid to be there and not distracted by their chatter; if they want to talk so badly they go to a cafe and talk or put on an exercise dvd at home they can all enjoy while talking)…

  • Maybe try Intermittent Fasting if you aren't. I've lost weight before (this is my second go around) and this time I'm lost more boob than the 1st time when I lost the weight eating 3 meals a day. I kept more of my boobs the first time. I don't mind the smaller boobs, I just wish more was coming off my stomach first rather…

  • Hi! I just found this group. I'm excited to join since I now qualify for it as I'm no longer obese! I started at 180 and now I'm currently maintaining/plateauing at 130. I want to be 115/120 (whatever looks best; also weight isn't that important to me as I'm planning to really work on my nutrition and start a muscle…
    in Whats your current motivation for losing weight? Comment by jeri30 July 2019
  • I've known it for a long time. I want to prevent as much of the ill health (heart disease, weak muscles from lack of exercise (couldn't get out of the bathtub for ex), and IPF) my mother suffered from in her final years as much as I can. She died in August 2016. This month is tough for me as her birthday is in July. I…

  • Reddit has a strong keto community including one called ketogains, which is dedicated to keto and athletics including muscle building. Also just googling keto gains will give you a lot of websites about it.

  • Yes, that's what I'm doing.Some I like; some I don't. I'm also working on switching over one meal type at a time. I'm trying to work out/incorporate healthy breakfast recipes, then lunches and dinners after I get my breakfast mojo going. Try making omelets w/veggies or casseroles. I find veggies better after cooking them;…

  • Well, since people seem to want to know so badly. :) Hmpff is when a someone makes a noise of disappointment and the "hmpff" noise is usually made while crossing arms, frowning, and poking out the lower lip, which makes a sad or mad face. Hmpff is the "word" given to this noise like "pow" when Batman punches the Joker in…
