"Whatever your choose as your way to feel better.. set small goals. It can be hard to see the small changes when your looking too far ahead. If your goals are pounds, inches, steps. Make them something u can achieve in a period of a month. Then set the next goal" Good advice Op I am the same I was dx with diabetes earlier this year, lost a fair bit of weight initially but have put some back on, I also need to get fitter too and it helps my Mh also. I’m looking to join my local gym next week, they’ve a 3 day free trial on at the moment so gonna do that first see how I go and then join properly is the plan. As the lovely Jenni says small achievable goals are the best way to stay motivated. Steps, lbs/kilos (although I can’t get my head around kilos!) and inches too (sometimes I won’t lose weight or not much but I lose as much as 3” off a measurement?? Weird). Plateaus are also totally normal, it’s your body adjusting to its new size, you’ll plateau and then a couple weeks later drop like 4lbs in one go! Be happy to be an online buddy if you’d like? I could use the support too. | |||

"Might sound like the most obvious thing in the world but pick something active that you enjoy and do more of it. So many people go to the gym and hate it. They just do it to lose weight, but if you hate something, you're more inclined to fall away from it eventually. I've recently started playing badminton and I love it. Started off with 1 game a week and now I'm up to 2 games a week and maybe another at the weekend. 1 hour of that goes by so quickly and the calorie burn is ridiculous. If that's too much then walking is one of the best things you can do. It's free, you don't need any equipment and you don't need to be in any shape to start. Aim for 10,000 steps as a minimum per day, cut back on the snacking, drink plenty of water and prioritise protein (keeps you feeling fuller for longer) and the weight will start to come off slowly but at least it's maintainable." My aim will be 20/25 thousand steps a day | |||

"I started lifting weights about 3 months ago. Everything I read says a woman of my age ought to build muscle to support her bones. I go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week. Lift heaviest I can for my stage, with help and advice from a pt. My sessions vary between 30 and 45 minutes. My strength and fitness have improved, I’m losing weight and I feel amazing. I walk around 10,000 steps a day and that is the only cardio I do. Bear in mind, lifting weights boosts your metabolism for a longer period of time than doing a cardio session, which then accelerates more fat loss. If you take this route, up your protein intake " Iv bought a bar bell and kettle bells and a multi gym that never gets used | |||

Wife loves the ladies who lift classes in the local gym. | |||

As I know the bad weather can not be very motivating. | |||

"Firstly you don't need to. Your pics are awesome and you have everything going on. But it's always good for MH and general fitness. It's a really simple equation that is so difficult to stick to...eat less shit do more Phys. Walking is massively underated. Do as much as you can. Do what interests you. If you like the beach go to the beach and walk. If you hate the gym, don't go but a body work out and HIT really tones you. I got back to the gym for the first day today after a year out with injury and it's a tough gig trying to start. Bear with it, give yourself 2 weeks to see subtle differences then measure again after 6. Be that strength or weight or toning. Don't get hung up on weight either. Look at how your clothes fit. As I said you look great as you are. I would ping you a PM of a great dietician piece but I am an old fecker and therefore can't message you lol. " For me its mental health and feeling good about myself. Good angles and lighting in photos can hide jiggly bits. . Im trying to get back in to walking steps counting calories and macros. Day 1 today | |||

"The first step is always the hardest. I returned to the gym in Apr after almost 2 1/2 years due to injury/COVID. I was nervous at not being able to keep up in classes or not lift heavy enough weights. I needn't have worried as the staff and fellow members have been great at motivating me. As someone has said, don't get caught up on your weight. I didn't weigh myself as I've had issues in the past with being obsessed on what the scales say. Now I base my progress on how my clothes feel. To me that's a bigger incentive to keep going. As I've said on my profile, "I'm a work in progress". You'll get there, just take each day at a time and enjoy whichever exercise routine you plan on following. I found this quote and it stuck with me. "It takes 4 weeks for you to notice a change. 8 weeks for your family/friends to notice. 12 weeks for the rest of the world to notice a change." Good luck in your journey! " Thank you. Yeah i was doing the gym (boot camp) same time u joined the gym .i took a few weeks out that turned into more weeks then stress of work and add on eating crap and not working out my mental health took a dip | |||

"I can't help but wonder where everyone gets the time for all these miles walking, running and cycling. Why I stick to exercising at home when I have 30 minutes to an hour free (and can be bothered). " It can be difficult especially if you have kids to look after at night. Things like going out a walk during your lunch break, taking the stairs rather than the lift, walking to the shops rather than driving etc. All those small things gradually add up. I used to sit on a computer all through my lunch and when I went walking instead I found by the time I got home I had done between 10K - 12K steps. I usually average about 17K a day now. I get up two hours before my shift starts and go for a walk. I don't have kids though so it's easier for me! | |||
