@Trish1c and @CMB44512 I am totally with you on the issues with buying in bulk. If it is in the house I will drink it. My husband wanted to have a cute wine rack installed in our dining room to hold nice bottles of wine he buys when we travel, but we can't even keep our little counter rack filled as I just drink it. I feel…

@fergusonlaceyloo Welcome! @JohnBarth Very inspiring quotes. @globalhiker Nightmares here too, caved and took a dose of NyQuil last night - I was desperate to get some sleep (Olly Gummies should arrive today) @lmlmrn What types of tea are you going to try? I was thinking of trying some chamomile @brittgreenlikethecolor88…

Wow! Coolest snowshoes ever! 300 cal in 20 mins, I clearly live in the wrong part of the country LOL :smiley: @globalhiker Good to know! I hope they will help me get off to sleep, I have trouble staying asleep too, waking most nights around 3 am.

Went camping at the weekend and in the early morning I went through a little yoga routine that I have put together myself from the moves I have learned from YwA and YwT. All was going well until I finished and I was rolling up my yoga mat when suddenly I had a massive back muscle spasm. It was so bad I was on my knees. It…

@globalhiker You sound very well prepared, and what a coincidence my husband just ordered me some of those Olly sleep gummies yesterday! I struggle to fall asleep, do they help you a lot? @MissMay Snowshoes in the woods, it sounds magical to me down here in dusty dry Texas! Have fun and stay safe 2/1 AF

Try giving this post a read, it really helped me understand how to get started and make it effective: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

Hey everyone Bring on February!! My goal this month = 20 AF days out of 28

Hi folks, I haven't been around that last few days because we went camping and there was zero cell connection. It is the first time we have been somewhere that had completely no connection at all, and it took us by surprise! Most of our camping trips there is a least a tiny bit of slow connection. Did plenty of hiking,…

If they show a reaction or ask a question I would just briefly explain the benefits, and if any argument or criticism I would just end it with "Well this is what works for me, we are all different." and shrug it off. At the end of the day, it is no one's business but yours. My family doesn't see it as odd once I told them…

I am so glad to see it is still here after all this time. This post changed my life.

Another AF yesterday making a streak of 4 this week! Wishing everyone a wonderful day.

It is difficult to know how accurate it is as everyone is different. My husband is a foot taller and 80lbs heavier than me, and when we go for a walk together his wrist tracker records his calorie burn as much higher than mine, for the same walk at the same speed because he burns more for the same activity due to size. I…

At the end of the diet you most likely had very little food inside your stomach and intestines. Now that you are eating more there will be more food travelling through your digestive system so that will account for some of it, and some of it is most likely water weight as stated above. One pound of body fat is equal to…

Getting a dog. It was 2005 and he became my best friend, my exercise partner, my comfort, and my constant companion, I was in the best shape of my life! Then he died. I was so devastated I said I would never get another. I couldn't bear the idea of going through it again. I became quite depressed and stopped exercising,…

Checking in after a few days, and with a new user name. I just know this year is going to be a massive turning point in my life, so after 8 years here, it seemed like a good time for a new name. @Missmay I am so sorry if my post and video link caused you any pain. It makes me really sad to hear what you and your husband…

@timhoch50 I hope this comes across the way it is intended, I would not comment on a person's diet unless they are asking for help but I think you can see the reason for the plateau in your diary. Take-out foods are notoriously high in simple carbs, fat, sodium, and sugar, but low in protein, and on quite a lot of days,…

@MissMay Thank you so much for keeping this thread going, a big thank you (((hug)))

@dawnbgethealthy I'm so sorry to hear about you hurting yourself, but oh wow you sound like you are having a great time and living your best life! Amazing to hear about hiking now to avoid the mama bear, I would still be terrified, you are a brave lady :smile: Life is fleeting I love to read about people grabbing it with…

@MissMay, @Tesha231, @Womona, @Trish1c, @CMB44512, @lmlmrn I'm glad you found the video motivating, and yes it is very scary. Sorry if it gave you nightmares! For me watching that video (and some other similar ones) was my 'AHA moment'. It made me realize that when I am trying to cut down on alcohol I am doing it FOR…

@SnifterPug I have the Valve Index and I got BoxVR then more recently PowerBeatsVR. I would say these two are more similar to Beat Saber, so more of a rhythm/music/cardio work out than true boxing, but I have heard good things about The Thrill of the Fight and would like to try it. Which do you like most between TTotF or…

I think about what the reason is that I am trying to avoid it. If it is just that I would rather sit and watch a video than workout I give myself a pass, but only one pass per week. If it is because I am intimidated by a certain section of the gym then I find a way to do those exercises at home. I saved up and bought some…

Brit currently living in the US and always happy to have more Brit friends! Add me :smile:

@HerNameIsMischief If you think you might respond better to some tough love and a reality check on what the future might hold take a look at this documentary. The timestamp (35-36 mins) should start at the part that really hit home with me - the part with Peter's story, this doesn't happen to all drinkers, but no one knows…

Wow! That is really bad. It's ridiculous, a serving size 1/3 of a cookie ... well that just takes the biscuit (sorry couldn't resist the pun) It is totally disingenuous when food manufacturers do this. There is a jar of simmer sauce I get occasionally, when cooked with chicken it makes about 3-4 modest portions, but on the…

When I started running I couldn't even jog for 60 seconds, so I started with 30 seconds jogging, and 60 seconds walking and gradually altered the amount to including more jogging and less walking. I used a couch to 5k app to help. After 3 months I was running for 20 mins without walking. Maybe you could approach it like…

Chaturanga is super difficult for beginners! You hang on to that pride, nothing wrong with being proud of keeping at it! There is a technique and I will probably never be able to do it properly because I broke my wrist years ago and it won't bend back far enough, I could do it on fists, but here I have to be careful not to…

The longer you do it the less of a chore it might seem to be simply because most of us eat the same things over and over, even a wide varied diet will have repetition. In the beginning, it was difficult for me as I cook most meals from scratch and didn't measure very much, but once I started using the Recipe tool I found…

I'm motivated and inspired reading all these posts, I love this thread! Before I joined in here my alcohol intake was nearly daily, maybe one AF day a week, and I was drinking on average 2-3 glasses of wine plus a shot or two of whisky most nights, my alcohol is at least half of what it was. Last night was AF, here is how…

This!! This is exactly what I think it is, but I couldn't put it into words the way you did. The 'Seattle Freeze' that term fits perfectly with what I have experienced here in San Antonio. When we sold our last house I wasn't working so I decided to get my Realtor license and sell it myself to save on the fees (saved over…
