@kostas My child often wakes up just by me getting up to go to the bathroom. I can't think of any way I could exercise quietly enough. Our house just isn't set up so it's possible, the sound travels too much.

@kostas Not for me, it would wake my kid for sure.

@megan89 I have a seven year old and neither of us gets extensive time for several hobbies still. That's just being a parent if you're doing your share. Then they have their own interests and activities and don't always want to share yours.

@paulclays I'm that size and as a short woman I absolutely need to lose weight. I'm in obese BMI category and have joint issues and potential liver and blood sugar problems.

@svonaly Yes, the schedule thing happens to me because of my kid and our work and childcare issues. It would definitely be less tiring if I could get into a schedule like I used to but it doesn't sound like OP has that problem.

@venutianpunk I've only managed it because my kid of the same age now does her own sports three times a week and I can go then, because my partner works shifts and I work during the day.

@txlenna Well I guess I'm particularly salty about it today because I went yesterday and the back to school rush meant there were basically no alternatives at all. The cable machine is always hogged by a group of teenage boys for ages anyway, and every single machine was in use, the free weight...

@txlenna My gym doesn't really have alternatives though, it's pretty small, so if it's a busy time and several people take ten minutes each on machines I end up missing a ton of exercises in my limited workout time (I have to go pick up my kid).

@meteorstorm For me it works to start exercising first. It helps me want to eat healthier.

@bevinluvwithjesus At my gym there is. Well it has two sides and a row bench thing. If he'd just seen someone start at the other side or they were actively using it maybe he preferred to ask OP who'd been on a while and was resting.

@bevinluvwithjesus At my gym there's only one of each so if I can't use one there isn't another I can go to. I'm assuming that's the case.

@fasthello I get exhausted just reading about some people's regimes of tdee, macros, steps, weights, etc.

@michelrives Yes, I find it really hard to not listen or read things around the house and always think about listening to podcasts as I walk but actually I find the break from information really refreshing. Especially early in the morning when it's quiet.

@fadeaway At this time in my life I'm just aiming to do some exercise, whatever I can, and eat vegetables and not much junk.

@stosa Sorry, I'm no expert and that makes perfect sense. I just worried about the OP and such a low calorie intake. That's how much I would eat to lose weight. Either way I think expert help would be useful.

@stosa Yeah, it's not the same as someone trying to lose or maintain weight loss, and I don't think you should be counting calories in anorexia recovery at all.
