Okay...not a problem...

Okay...I will be honest. I didn't want to go this morning. My head hurt, my legs hurt and it is already hot outside....... I went any way. My time increased today to 15 minutes. Since I wasn't at my best I did what I call my neighborhood walk...slowed my pace down slightly. I am glad that I pushed myself to just do it. I…

Maybe you need to shift your focus for a while. Set new goals. Change things up a bit. I always stay more motivated when I not only set long term goals but have mini goals that I reach. I still have 35-50lbs left to lose. Weight loss is still important to me but I have decided to shift my focus to fitness for a while.

To be fair though isn't that true of anyway of eating? Weighing and calorie counting can also cause eating disorders. My son joined this site a few years ago...tried calorie counting. He ended up under eating and then binging which he had never done before. He had to quit. He also can not do IF/TRE because he would spend…

I used to listen to Dave Ramsey on the car radio years ago in Nashville. I would drive my son to his tennis lessons and sit in the car and listen to him.

Okay finished my first day of my official resistance training today. It went okay but my squats need a lot of work. I could only do five before my knees gave out. Everything else I managed to do. This is the routine that I used modified to use my bands. It is short and sweet which is what I need to get started.…

Okay...here is what I think...again for what it's worth. The vast majority of people that join MFP or any site that deals with weight loss is looking for that mystic miracle cure that will cause them to lose weight quickly and painlessly. They will grab on to anything that sounds like it might give them the mystic miracle…

IMO...for what it's worth...exercise will do more for slowing down the aging process than eating within a certain window. Combine that with a healthy diet that is appropriate for what you are trying to accomplish then that will assist in hopefully aid in slowing down that aging process. For me...and I speak only for…

@carolejaye1217 Please do and welcome. We can always use more of us that are working on just getting moving. I know about the..."I start tomorrow" except somehow tomorrow never comes. When I was walking before I decided to retire my walking shoes I was doing 3-5 miles. I regret having quit and I regret waiting so long to…

@LeeH31 Welcome!!! I will checkout "Launchpad". Right now I am using resistance bands and some small hand weights. I have enjoyed getting back to my walks after so long of just sitting. I just wish the weather would cool down some. I live in Texas and we are still having some 100 degree days. They say we might cool down…

Why call it a "cheat" meal??? Just make it work. Eat at maintenance that day. Cut back somewhere else. Eat 1/2 a plate and save the rest for the next day. Besides...one meal will not make or break you as long as you get back to what you need to be doing.

@snickerscharlie Thanks for your reply. I have always been the same about breakfast. Actually I feel better when I don't eat until later in the morning. I was never obese nor skinny during childhood or young adulthood. There was only one time that anyone ever considered me too thin. I was a young single mom trying my best…

Even though I am the only one posting here I want to keep it going just in case someone else shows up and needs some encouragement to just start moving even if it is only for a few minutes.

For me personally...my chances of success regardless of want I want to achieve is to concentrate on the positive...I need to believe that I can succeed. It is not that I want to be in the dark about obstacles that I might face but IMO attitude plays a big aspect to success. If I go into something knowing that the failure…

Then there are those of us that are not looking for any other possibilities other than a way to control our eating. If IF/TRE/Skipping Breakfast/Whatever helps us...that is good enough. I really don't care if others approve or not...just doesn't matter to me. If a day comes when my eating plan stops working for me then I…

I have to agree. If I want pasta then it needs to be pasta. I tried the "zoodles". It didn't taste bad but it didn't fool me...it wasn't pasta. I do this one dish where I use half pasta and half zoodles. I tastes good but I wouldn't say that it tastes as good as if I had of used all pasta. I just don't like fake stuff.
