@dawn16 Yes, exactly! And I also adopted the mindset that it was ok if I occasionally didn’t make my goals. Before I had also tried getting into a healthier lifestyle but never was able to sustain it beyond a month or two and I think it’s because I use to set either unachievable goals or had a...

@zigsmom91 Best of luck! You can do it! It’s amazing how we are such creature of habits. Once you overcome the initial adjustment period it gets much easier.

@zigsmom91 Yeah, that really helped me. For example, I used to hate any type of weight training but after commiting to certain exercises for at least a month I started seeing real results which motivated me to stick with it and now it feels very natural rather than a chore to do.

@ahead Haha yeah I can only jump rope 5-10min at a time, but I either broke it up into three sets over a day or I mixed it up with brisk walking / jogging. So the cardio time is not necessarily in one go. My daily protein goal is 100grams which I found hard to meet initially, but foods I’ve...

@chris4u Thank you ☺️ I’m excited to expand further into weight training.Like you said, I’m starting with a few basic exercises and working my way up from there~

@gottago You’re most welcome! I’m glad you found this helpful. I’ve tried many times in my life to get into healthier lifestyle and was never able to maintain it beyond a month or two till this time. I think the biggest difference is starting with really small and doable changes and once I got...
