Making Some Changes

I've been working on my weight since spring, but I need to get more exercise in. I tend to get lazy! I intend to write down a few goals for the coming year and that will be one of them.

I have also been going to they gym very recently, like six months, and I think I like the outcome.

I'm glad to hear you are going to make time to take care of yourself. I need to work on my emotional eating. And I'm thinking about checking into Curves. It might be too expensive, but I need a controlled environment to really get a lot of exercise done.

It is great that you have decided to make these changes. I need to get more exercise. That is one change that I really need to make as we move into 2013. Right now, my yoga mat is in the closet gathering dust. I need to change that and haul it out--get moving. I don't need to lose any weight, though. I could actually stand to gain a few pounds.

I'm going to start this year to get my body toned. So I will be doing some yoga and then using weights. I need to tone but I don't need to lose any weight. When I first moved to Puerto Rico I gained five pounds which got me to 130 pounds which was more weight then when I was pregnant. So I cut sugar out of my tea and put lemon in it. I also usually only drink lemon water and that has now gotten me down to 120 pounds. I'm also hoping to concentrate on writing a children's book or a magazine article that will get published. Good luck in losing the 25 pounds and Wishing you and your son a Happy Healthy New Year!

I have been just wasting time these days and for 2013 I have planned to schedule my day an work accordingly.I have a lot of time but just waste it and feel I have very less.After my scheduling I have found 5 hours for my recreation.My schedule focuses on my health,studies and my small business I am planing to start.I hope everything goes on well.

Well, I have decided 2013 is the yr. for me. Not having to wait on someone else to give me a chance to keep waiting, or not know what they are wanting to do. It is take charge. Be more in control, and that especially means when it comes to taking care of this wound to get it really completely healed. When you see one doctor saying one thing, and another doctor thinking another, and not even sure where he wants to go it makes you really wonder what is important.

I did not really lose weight when I was working as a kitchen. I am still a fat boy. Some say I am now getting slim but not really change for me.

hi macdingoliknger me too thats my one big resolution to get dolwn to 150 so I look better, feel better and I can better control m y diabetes. I am only five ft 2 and have got down from210 to 191 but have a ways to go and not being able to do my own cooking really hinders me some. I have been cutting the damned rice that they insist on serving most of the time and the CORN both high in starch and shoot up my blood sugar;sometimes I leave the rice altogether if there are other foods to eat.But I am sure I can do it and am trying really hard to cut back . I have about fifty pounds to lose b ut I know i can do it too.

Being a caregiver can result in neglecting one self and I am glad that you have realised this and are already taking steps to rectify the situation. It is sensible to take care of yourself too because you son depends on you being well enough and strong enough to care for him. Let us know how your weight loss proceeds and enjoy your time of exercise. You remind me that I also need to take more interest in my fitness regime. When I was younger I exercised regularly but it get more difficult to make the effort as one grows older.

I understand you... I did that when I had problems with my ex husband. Id eat, and eat and feel bad after. All because of him. I also decided to change things for the better. So I got rid of the husband. Funny thing is.. I dont eat like that anymore. Take care there. Hope to see you here soon.

Hello there! I am also heading to a healthier diet.Not that I am fat. It's actually my husband who is on the heavy side. I believe that if I want my husband to get rid of unwanted love handles and live a healthy lifestyle then we should do it together,right?

Yep, I'm turnin over a new leaf for new year's. I want to keep my flexibility and mobility as I age and I plan to try some stretching exercises and continue to walk for exercise when the weather is nice. I wish I enjoyed walking on a treadmill but alas, that probably will never happen. I dont' want to go to a gym where all the people are addicted to exercise because that is just not the lifestyle for me. I also want to change my eating habits like you have listed. I just flat over eat. I consume more calories than I need and I want to slowly trim those down to a more reasonable amount. I'm sure that I will lose weight, but I will have to stop the constant travelling that I do for a job before I'll really be successful at any lifestyle changes. I do look forward to the coming year with all its newness and opportunities!

Its really good that your are now serious for your health.I am also trying since a year to bring about some changes but because of my strict work schedule not able to do that.But from coming year onwards I may able to do that as the work pressure on me will be less.I am also thinking of doing some exercise in morning to bring down my weight as I am a a bit overweight.I will definitely try to control my irregular eating habits and will put more efforts to control my diet.
