Trying to be at 1200

Walk, walk, walk

I went mostly vegetarian recently. Made sure I got my greens, ate low carb, stopped drinking wine, etc...I thought I was doing all of the right things. I gained weight instead of lost weight. Now I am back to sensible eating and I feel so much better.

My goal weight has everything to do with health and my waist. Smaller the waist, better on the heart. Simple as that for me.

What do you do for exercise?

Well, if I have to be that careful then forget beans. NOT worth it.

OK, then why are they touted as being so good for you when we cannot even digest them???

Athleta

Wow, amazing Why's. I love it.

I read this article. Excellent. Thank you for sharing the link. It really explains a lot.

Whole grain toast with peanut butter.

And...I slept better last night. Interesting.

I would walk. Lots of walking. I have bad knees too but walking seems to be fine for me.

Thanks all. Post again when you see results. I am only on a few days. I am hopeful.

Wonderful. I am 55 too...so hard to lose. How did you do it???

Thank you! Fortunately, it's not injury pain just soreness. Yesterday I was a little easier on myself but today I pushed through it. It's all good.

I don't even log my exercise calories so I don't know how much I should eat back. I don't eat them back. To me, it defeats the purpose but that is just me.

I don't know but any eating plan that makes you feel sick can't be good for you. Just saying...

Thanks all. I walked on treadmill for a while 45 minutes. stretched. Now having a good lunch and hydrating.

Hi there. welcome. I don't comment much but there is some great advice on here. The fact that you want to do something is a start. It sounds like you want to get fit but more importantly feel good. Try even just a walk a day. Even 30 minutes. start log gin your food and eat as healthy as you can. Once you start noticing a…

My husband and I go to Hawaii a few times a year. Can you say bikinis? That's my motivation. AND...I want to be healthy.

I think it all really depends what your goals are and how bad you want it. In my opinion, drinking derails pretty much everything. I still do it but am cutting way back and would love to stop except I really like wine. I do find that when I don't drink I make much healthier choices on a daily basis and have much more…

Another 30 plus down today! Plus, there is a challenge on here to do 100 kettle bell swings a day. I did it but it was hard!!!

I tried Breyers vanilla yesterday. Pretty good!

OMG did 100 this morning. It was so hard! But I did it. Yay me! Great challenge.

Just read an article in a health magazine yesterday...This is just part of it. "Your body sees alcohol as a poison and literally stops all other metabolic processes in rider to remediate and eliminate that alcohol-including fat metabolism..." I enjoy wine...too much but articles like this really make me think...

I am in! The last few days count...did at least 30 every day! yay

Im in starting tomorrow!

If you think you might have a problem with alcohol, then you do have a problem with alcohol. I know I do and I need to slow way down or stop all together. I just finished reading the book "The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober" by Catherine Gray. Excellent book. I had stopped for about a year, then decided to try again.…
