I Need to Lose Weight

I have been walking since the spring and still am not close to my goal weight loss. I watch my calorie intake stay hydrated to stay healthy. I joined curves but with my schedule I never had time to go on a regular basis.

What does everyone do for exercise if you can only do it at home?

I am really interested losing this pooch in the lower tummy area and I honestly cannot do situps. It makes me feel like I am going to pass out.

I love walking too. Try to incorporate a light jog if you can. There's lot's of exercises you can do at home. Get some little hand held weights maybe. Also You tube has some great example videos. Plus there are web sites you can join and follow along.

Actually the biggest contributor to weight loss is less food intake. You have to really limit those calories. I keep mine as minimal as possible. When I don't splurge that is.😋 :-)

@Magenta Love walking in the evening just before it gets dark. It is so relaxing. I do try to walk fast and keep that pace. Jogging might be more difficult for me. Mayne next time I can give it a try for a short distance and see how it goes.

Amazing how you can go for days being careful with food intake and calories. One splurge and you gain back everything you just lost. It is really frustrating. 😓

Me too! Perfect time. :-)
Maybe a very light jog for a bit then walk, rotate a bit.

Ugh, and harder the older we get. Speaking for myself, lol.
It's all about discipline. But who has much of that? Lol ;-)

@Magenta Maybe jog the last part of my walk so I will be home when I pass out. Lol

Yes I have noticed the last few years it has gotten harder. You can speak for both of us. 😆

Here we are talking about discipline and I am getting ready to make brownies for the kids! Hmmmmmm 😣
