Overview

Staying motivated can be tough when results aren't as expected. I found that small daily wins, like sticking to a routine or treating myself kindly, really help. Also, checking out weight loss options that suit your goals can bring new motivation and clarity. Remember to focus on overall well-being rather than just one aspect, and celebrate every bit of progress you make along the way.

I’ve had moments where I needed a quick look at someone’s Insta without logging in, and https://goonview.com/ made that way less of a hassle. I just typed the username and it loaded in the browser without me signing up or installing anything. It was handy for checking on a family account and doing a bit of low‑key comparison for a project I was working on.

im actually having surgery on my knees next week, but after im all re-cooped ill check back in with you! but good job you!! getting motivated to even get started can be a challenge, so your already doing great!

i can help! Im currently trying to lose 40lbs. Im on week 6 of exercising and eating better. Havent seen any results yet but the first 4 weeks was just pretraining to get my body ready.

That's great ⭐ congrats on your progress! Do you feel a difference?

Hi, I'm really proud of myself because I lost this weight but also because I've introduced a lot of healthy habits - 25mins of moderate excerisize daily, 25mins of meditation/jouralling, gratitude journalling and trying new hobbies!

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Bv3BXHP52/?mibextid=wwXIfr found her!! check her out she's cute and super fun!

there is a lady I follow on Facebook who does some really fun low impact chair aerobics. oh well I thought I was following her, of course when I go to look for her to tell you who it is I can't find her! 🤣🤣 but if you have Facebook or you can get on YouTube just google chair aerobics you you'll find some super fun easy routines!

If u find any good fun things. Please share I have cerebral palsy that is starting to affect my mobiliy and I need to exercise more but cant stand too long

I’ve had to make a lot of adjustments too, especially when it comes to staying active without causing pain. One thing that’s helped me keep some strength without pushing my joints too hard has been light resistance training. I also looked into supplements like balkan pharma steroids after talking to my doctor, just to help with muscle support since mobility was getting harder.

hey everyone! im Kendra Not sure how active anyone is here since there aren't a whole lot of posts but I am looking for an accountability buddy! You know honestly I go through spells where I either exercise a lot or I exercise a little to not at all! I've yo-yo dieted my entire life. I tend to start off very strong and then after a while and I find it hard to keep the motivation going. I'm trying to adapt some healthier eating habits to make it more of a lifestyle rather than a diet! This past year I went from almost 230 pounds down to 168 is what I am currently! My goal weight being between 130 and 150. But honestly I just wanna be a healthier version of myself! For me I find it easier when I have somebody with me. I know a lot of people like to listen to music, not that I don't, but I don't know, I just still find it kind of comforting just having somebody there with me! I do better when I know that there's somebody waiting for me and if I don't show up they're gonna be mad! And give me a hard time! lol If there's anybody else that feels this way and you might want to be an accountability buddy, possibly do some virtual chats to work out together let me know! i Have a mini home gym with a treadmill, a few light free weights, exercise bands,a boso ball. So even if it's just you know we're doing a video chat walking on the treadmill and we're each listening to our own music, if we're doing that for 30 or 40 minutes together just to keep each other there and accountable that would be awesome! reach out and say hiif you're interested, thanks!

Prepping something easy like egg dishes really helps take the pressure off. Once tried making a big batch of scrambled eggs with peppers and onions—simple, filling, and ready to grab on busy or tough mornings. Found places like contemporary restaurant bangkok that keep flavors fresh but uncomplicated, which always inspires me to keep meals simple but tasty.

I want to get more active. Drop some weight and get my muscles working. I used to do aqua physical therapy 2x a week for 3hours. But the therapy place closed their pool. I'm looking for exercises that I can do from a chair or couch. I have chairi malformation and I am a fall risk do standing isn't possible at this time.

Update on my progress as I still exercise 3-5 times a week, switching it up or at least maintaining. ✌️ I have noticed that climbing over fences and gates is easier. Like I am able to push myself up, pick myself up from the ground, or hold a squat with little discomfort. Twice I recently tripped and fell onto the ground (cuz I'm still clumsy AF 😅) but I did NOT feel it the next day like I have been worried about. Only my pride got bruised LOL and I can live with that. I did a test on myself, and I was able to hold a wall sit for a full minute as well as a plank too. One of my trainers called it "growing younger" which is AMAZING to feel. Sure, I still get some stiffness now and then but it's actually getting better now after a couple years of this. 😁 Like my lower back was once in chronic pain for over a year and I had to sleep with a bolster under my knees for a reprieve. I don't need that anymore. I now know the correct way to position my back and hips to stop triggering the injury and how to strengthen my glutes and core to protect my back. This is the main thing that I want; to reduce pain in joints, back, and my body. 👏 When I look at my photo I had taken for my ID badge 2 years ago, there is a definite change in my face. I'm actually embarrassed by how puffy it looked back then 😭 I just might have it retaken and then show a comparison.

I have cerebral palsy and now thag my body is getting older I am losing more strength in my legs resulting in being stuck to a walker...not what u want at 38 yrs old. My dr has warned that someday its going to be wheelchair, so Ive started chair exercises to help hopefully keep me out of one for awhile. That and losing weight having no thyroid causes weight gain is my reason of trying to exercise any way i can

It started when she had arthritis and worked on building muscle around those joints to help with the pain. She is inspiring with her posts to keep going and how it's never too late to start. 💪👵 Chase your goals!

Jamba Juice has been a long time favorite of mine, but they are disappearing in my area 😢 The next best thing is Roxberry. I found out they do these "Mystery Mixes" for half off which I'm getting addicted to. They are frozen solid and that's perfect for this HOT summer!

I think it's wonderful you made this start for yourself. We are here to support and cheer you on to keep going!

My family consist of very unhealthy lifestyle and food choices. Very southern, in the way they cook and what they ate. I want to be healthier than them. My mom weighed over 400+ pounds and died in her late 50s. My dad family was no better. The one thing my mom did that I'm glad for she installed a love of vegetables and fruits. She also made sure we were curious about new foods and willing to tried new things. I myself weigh 300+ pounds. Have been trying to incorporate new things to help in my weight loss journey. I'm glad to say I have lost over 70+ pounds. Still have more to go but I'm glad I finally bit the bullet and started caring about my health. I still have so much life to live and I want to be finally happy with who I am and what I see in the mirror.

Hummus is something I have been switching to as a condiment that is healthier. This particular one is chocolate sweetened with dates! I really like using it to dip fruit in when snacking 🍓🍌🍎 This can also be a chocolate spread to put on toast 😋

I just started doing Yoga. I am following a yoga app. I need help with strength and flexibility. It's proving to be a little challenging but I know as I am older it's going to benefit me.

I have a habit after making a meal to go freeze the leftovers. I struggle to eat the same thing the next day or in time before said leftovers spoil in the fridge. 😖 Soups, casseroles, sauces or whatever. If it can be stored in the freezer for at least a month, I'll throw it in there! Then, my appetite/taste for such food renews itself after a couple of weeks and I have less work to have it again. This can be a bit like those frozen dinners but are homemade with ingredients I have more control over, have better taste, and better nutrition. Don't forget that it saves 💵MONEY💵 There is a grocery store near me that puts out fruits and veggies on clearance that are ripening too fast. 🛒I like to swipe some of that not only for my guinea pigs and sugar gliders to enjoy but to also freeze for myself. It doesn't have to be cooked food, just raw ingredients that are cut up to stay in the freezer until I want to use them. Some ideas for freezer meals you can store away 8 Best Crock-Pot Freezer Meals — Eat This Not That You take one out to defrost the day before, dump into a crockpot, and set the time according to the instructions. Fruits I will bag up to keep in the freezer. They can be portioned out for smoothies like so. Most of the time, I just keep my smoothie ingredients in categories that I can grab handfuls of and put in the blender. For example: 🥬GREENS🥬 🍓BERRIES🍓 and 🍌BANANAS🍌 Just don't forget to 📝LABEL📝 your stash and make a note so that you don't forget a year later. (Me talking to myself 😅)

I have practiced Yoga off and on over the past couple of decades. Ever since I hurt my back as a teenager, yoga has become beneficial to me for more than my body but my mind as well. I find it so adaptable for any needs and limitations. You can make it as challenging or as gentle as you need. If you can breathe... you can do yoga. And don't forget the water. 💦 Always HYDRATE! In Yoga, breathing is referred to as prana (breath of your lifeforce). Every pose is to move with each inhale and exhale. I like for my exhales to be a bit longer than 4 seconds and to go slower. Breathing out through your mouth can be more effective. My trainer once told me to think of birthday cake. 🎂"Breathe in deep through your nose to smell the cake. Then blow hard out your mouth to put out the candles." 💨 Really saturate your blood with oxygen for your brain, muscles, and other organs. Make it feel like a massage inside. Start with what feels good for you and learn your body's ability to move. This is about self-acceptance. 💗

I just tried these Yasso Greek yogurt bars to replace ice cream. It has less sugar, less fat, has a bit more protein, and still tastes great!
