    I’m a chubby middle aged woman and I would like to know my plan is sound

    @ktkls90 In that case, am I not giving myself enough rest time on Tuesdays and Thursdays if I run, and it's taxing on my leg muscles?

    I’m a chubby middle aged woman and I would like to know my plan is sound

    @jessk Yes!! That's why I subbed in some other exercises that used tables and long counters, instead of 90º countertops and strong doors... I mean, I know it's relatively simple equipment, but I don't have those things at my disposal at work over lunchtime, so I made it as accessible as...

    @saige3875 My Bluetooth earbuds have changed my life in terms of long walks, and my attitude toward things I don't want to do — including work! Fantastic advice and I'll take my buds with me whenever I exercise.

    @emmfullness I wish! Sadly my commute is 65 miles one-way... another obstacle to overcome. :/

    I’m a chubby middle aged woman and I would like to know my plan is sound

    @pkeck Defining goals is something I have definitely not done yet. Instead of having a weight loss goal, however, I will probably do better to say something like "I will not miss 2 days in a row of healthy eating and activity". I can't control scale numbers and that doesn't mean I'm failing at...

    @arielrose “Who cares if you’ve made progress anyway” is EXACTLY my biggest downer right now! I’m not going to get better at my job, be loved more by friends/family, or avoid a specific health issue by doing this hard work, I don’t give a sh*t about fashion or some random gotta-look-good event...

    @virtualted Consistency has always been my GREATEST weakness. Thank you for the advice.

    I’m a chubby middle aged woman and I would like to know my plan is sound

    @ambryrye Habit building is hard af. I do things I want to do, and the rest I turn into a whiny child. I already walk and lightly run (edited my post to clarify) and am used to at leaast TRYING to do at least 30 minutes of activity every day, usually 60 on weekdays and many hours on Sundays. I...

    @jane2468 Thank you for this post. You are obviously wise in this area. :) I can only promise that I have access to a therapist whom I have a history with and who treated my disordered eating. I am always wary of putting myself in risky eating modes; i.e.: I will never extremely restrict...

    @proundcatholic I used to be a daily MFP user — at one point I think I'd logged over 450 days in a row! When people try to force food on me, my technique is to say: "get that god damn cake away from me or I'll break your fingers." On the other hand I am THAT person who tries to derail the big...

    @proundcatholic Every f*cking word of this is true, and it’s absolutely crazy. The only positive is that we only do ONE cake a month at work now, regardless of the number of birthdays.

    I’m a chubby middle aged woman and I would like to know my plan is sound

    @medic75 I walk as much as I can! I love walking... being outside in nature is my first love, and it's a perfect opportunity to get away from my desk for a true work break. In an hour I can cover almost 4 miles, but sometimes I only want 2. I'll make sure to prioritize walking whenever I can...

    @rolanda I thought Beano MADE you fart! Man I've been using it wrong.

    @silvestersloon Broccoli is my favorite veggie! No farts here - I guess I eat enough of it to be immune. Canned beans, however......

    @jmfaith Oh sorry, that’s what I meant — I preferred to have coffee with cream rather than nothing, and nothing is what I should have been sticking with for the fasting.
