Question: Do you have kids? Edit: Oops never mind, you said bodyweight! ;) i skim read too much. Lol

I did the eliptical to start for as long as i could tolerate it which was about 20 minutes. It was easy enough on my knees because i was almost 200 lbs and 5'3". To start i think any kind of activity, that you enjoy would be fine! ;)

We are ALL inspiring! We are all here in this community because we have acknowledged in our minds that we are ready to work to achieve good health.........ok ok and maybe smoking hot bods to boot!

Yes I have been. When I was calorie counting it was usually around that range. Yes I have been eating to few calories that is. Sorry just wanted to make that statement clearer.

Ok well I'm giving you my current situation! I have hit a plateau after my weight loss of 42 lbs. If you really have nothing constructive to add however I thank you for your time but to comment BS I don't see as helpful at all. It's actually rather ignorant in my humble opinion. Be well.

Yeah I'm sure. My eating habits haven't changed much since I was calorie counting so I'm guessing it's about the average give or take a bit. Definitely not getting close to the recommended 1200. I am thinking I'm gonna start a meal plan weekly to better organize my meals as a friend of mine suggested to me today. Thanks so…

Lol......ummmm Yes dear i am definitely doing plyometric workouts and weight training. Please re-read original post. Thanks for your response :)

I never gave thought to some sort of eating disorder. I just felt I had maybe developed some poor eating habits over the years of being a working mom of 6. Will definitely explore this with the doctor. Thank you. I am going to start meal planning also. Hopefully that helps some too. Thanks all :)

What keeps me motivated is the same Latin heritage. I am predisposed to hypertension and kidney disease and have suffered early from multiple Co mornidities. Uncontrolled hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and a brush with acute kidney failure. My 6 children have made me realize that I need to stay alive and I think it's…

Thank you :)

Thank you so much! I will add you as soon as I figure out how to. Lol ;)

Hi ladies! I'd prefer down to earth! Lol 5'3" and I'm now 156 lbs. Down from 198 lbs. I've been neglecting my calorie counting for a while though :'( I'm back on board now and looking for pals to help me along as well as help others along. It seems to be getting harder for me the closer I am getting to my target. Time to…

1st I would like to say I am no expert and still consider myself a newbie in my lifestyle change. With that being said for me I had to tackle one thing at a time since I had absolutely no discipline. For example I love pepsi and it just so happens there's a circle k right up the street! .79 cent 44 Oz drinks were happening…

This post is a gem for me! When I started I was 198 lbs and 5'3" .... seriously overweight and more importantly unhealthy. Make a long story short when I started my journey I wanted to look good again, lose weight, and somewhere in the order of priorities be healthier. Now as I have failed then learned my expectations have…
