Recommitting!
I've been on a plateau since the end of last year. Not one of those "I'm doing everything right but I just can't lose weight" plateaus but more of a I've gone into maintenance 50 pounds early situation. I'm here to say I am NOT done! I've been lifting 3x/week and am cutting out the mindless undocumented snacking. I just…

Love cardio...hate strength...what to do?
I love doing cardio. Hiking, running, biking, they're all fun. But I know I need to build muscle/strength. I just don't know where to start. I don't belong to a gym so it needs to be at home.

Do I need to step up my…

Can I SUP overweight.
A group of us plan on going stand up paddle boarding while on vacation in a couple weeks. I am 5'7" and weigh 225. Can I do it? I don't want to get to the site then find out I'm too heavy. I've looked online and from what I can tell is you have to have a bigger board if you're bigger but I don't know if most rental places…

This time I WILL do it!
Hi, I'ma 50yr old from NE Ohio/USA and I have about 100 lbs to lose. I've been on MFP for about a month now and I'm still in that excited honeymoon period. I hope with support on here and at home this will be the time I finally lose the weight healthily and keep it off.
