[quote=Anonymous]Make changes to your diet that will be sustainable over the long-term, not just focused on losing weight. Focus on what helps you feel your best. I think exercise gets a bad rap on this board. Sure, it may not lead to weight loss for everyone, but it is SO good for your body in so many other ways. If you do better with gentler exercise, look into things like yoga and pilates to build strength. Increase the walking to daily. Lifting weights is great, but you need to push yourself to build strength, i.e., it's not always gentle. Yoga/pilates are easier on your joints and can be very sustainable over the long term. They also have benefits of improved focus and concentration, at least for some kinds of yoga. And they can absolutely build strength, if not in the exact way lifting weights will. I'd also throw in things like meditating and reducing your stress in general. Stress can really do a number on your health and undermine a lot of good efforts, so reduce that. Prioritize getting enough sleep. Make sure you have good social support. As with diet, all of this should be sustainable over the long-term. Good luck![/quote]
