I am working out and dieting

I am at my heaviest weight ever at 230 lbs! So I started using my elliptical again for a minimum of 5 minutes and then some and lifting 3 lb weights to work my upper body! 3 sets of 30! These are just baby steps every day, and by counting my calories on my fitness pal app that I have on my phone. This is just the beginning. I would like to increase using the elliptical up to 20 minutes every day and watch my calorie intake until I reach my goal of 125 lbs! Wish me luck!

Good luck!
i’m doing the same, diet and exercise. i’ve cut my sugar and trying to reduce caffeine as well. i’ve also started on intermittent fasting 16:8 since the start of june, but only few lbs lost, it takes patience and i mean to continue it for a year to get real results. Also, increase your water intake too.

@etherealcongratulations for your own efforts Its always nice to know others in it themselves! I used to dislike the taste of water now I love it

@saintsong thank you! it is always good to know others doing the same. i’ve noticed that eating healthier makes me feel good, but there are days when i feel drained.
A few years earlier, i used to feel discouraged when i’d indulge once in a while. Now i just look at the overall progress and allow myself to enjoy (and not feel guilty) about having a good meal.

thank you for best answer! 😊
