Thanks for the welcome! I am trying to make exercise a more consistent part of my day. I work a desk job so I’m sitting for huge chunks of the day. I just recently got a sit/stand desk at work so I can at least break up the sitting a bit! Today I did this video - I’ve been loving Get Fit With Rick lately!…

@zumbaforever Thanks! By way of introduction, I’m Christie. I’m an Aussie mum of one amazing 4.5yo little boy. I enjoy puzzles, building Lego, board games, video games and crafting - but I don’t get much time for any of that! My exercise usually consists of walking, yoga, or playing Beat Saber on my VR - and gentle…

Hiya, I just stumbled across this group...can I join in? How does this challenge work? :smile:

Have a look on YouTube, there are loads of free videos! I love Yoga with Adriene the most, she has a huge variety of videos on her channel and also does a calendar each month with recommended videos. I know others also recommend Yoga with Kassandra.

The best challenge on MFP!!

Can't wait for a new term to start!

I'm Christie, an Aussie, mum to the BEST three year old in the world (I am not even biased). I work as an accountant at a gold mine, which basically means I'm chained to a desk for 9 hours a day! Not great for the waistline, so I try to get up and move my body throughout the day and I'm trying to source a stand-up desk (if…

@deepwoodslady I'm so glad to hear your good A1C result! That's incredible progress, and I know you'll get to your goal.

I'm Christie, an Aussie, mum to the BEST three year old in the world (I am not even biased). I absolutely need to get serious about my weight and stop "treating myself". I had lost 15kg from my initial starting weight, but then started working from home and became less active through the day as a result. I'm finding it…

@swimmom_1 I hope you feel better soon, that sounds awful! Take care of yourself! @joans1976 Isn't it so frustrating when doctors just assume that you're eating all the wrong things?! I had the same a few years ago, the GP I saw went on a rant about how he gave up bread 10 years ago (I'm sitting there thinking, yeah, ok,…

@joans1976 Lol thanks, I tend to copy and paste from the day before so I don't have to type it out again! The Quote button is very helpful for keeping formatting, I just remove the quote coding from the beginning and end. Rest assured, I didn't lose that much "real" weight overnight! I had been carrying some water…
