Back on the saddle again

[Shnookie]

Hi I’m Shnookie just now coming to this group. I’m the heaviest I have ever been

probably combo of not having a job,

ADHD impulsivity and COVID. Read about

U guys Who R walking 🚶. I’ve been walking on and off 4 years. First I need to

buy a pair of sneakers. Then because I’m so

out of shape and bum knees I’ll need to start out slowly. Thanks 4 the inspiration

I just read a headline on the news stating the second biggest pandemic after Covid 19 was obesity. I guess people are eating more and exercising less. It also stated that due to unemployment, many were unable to buy proper items due to cost and were eating lots of carbs!

U R correct about buying Carbs. But truth be known I’m on stress related temporary

disability and on Cal Fresh - Food Stamps.

A friend of mine also gave me script to

buy food in a small market in my neighborhood. The probably is me not making the lmtelligent decisions and to top

this off an acid reflux stomach from nerves

It’s challenging but hopefully being in this

group will give me the impetus to get on the right path to lose weight

Well done on getting active! If you want some weight loss ideas, there are some more forums you can join...

Weight loss NHS... there’s a daily diary where you can post your meals and get tips and ideas, and a weekly weigh in. It’s a *very* supportive group!

I did just that... I started with my husband buying me some trainers and then I did just 10 mins a day. I have got up to 30 but last week couldn't face it so I am going to go back to 10 mins. Only lost 1lb this week and had a wobble last night but you've now motived me to get back on it... Let's just do 10 mins every day

Sounds good 👌 to me. I’ll definitely try to

carve time out some time this week to

buy sneakers and attempt to start

walking again. Good luck with your walking schedule I’m in your corner Shnookie
