[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s personal preference how much exercise, calorie restriction, and length of time one wants to engage in to lose weight or get to a certain level of fitness.

I started walking every day earlier this spring and, as of today, have lost 10 pounds. I’m in my forties.

Walking has been a great “gateway drug” that’s helped me be more mindful of what I eat as well. I haven’t severely restricted my diet, but I pay attention now, and that has helped.

Even if walking only burns 100 calories, if those calories are in deficit, one will lose weight. I told myself that I wanted to be at a deficit, no matter how small, and no matter how long it took to lose.

Now that I’m building the habit, I’m slowly adding and have started doing yoga once a week.

It’s a process - good luck to everyone on this fitness journey we’re all on![/quote]

I'm in my early 60s and logged a lot of 10K steps/daily for a couple of decades. Alas, an injury, hitting menopause, and some family challenges threw me off that routine and I was fairly dormant for at least 18 months. I gained nearly 25 pounds over the course of two years - was probably 5ish pounds overweight when that started. This spring I started to kick up my steps again and be more mindful of my consumption. I've lost 15ish and have another 15 to go, but even losing 10 more would still be a victory for me.

Love any suggested weight routines from folks here. I do not have access to a gym, so need to do at home.

Ditto PP - good luck to everyone on your fitness journey![/quote]
