  • When it comes to sweets and treats, do you cut back or cut out when you are actively trying to lose weight? For me its easier not to take the first bite. However some people are able to satisfy their sweet tooth with small amounts of treats, like a square of dark chocolate. Which side do you fall on. In the long run a healthy lifestyle is easier to maintain if you practice moderation instead of deprivation. So what is your strategy?

Moderation for me!! :grinning:

Jackie

If I have my favorite sweets in the house I can’t stop eating. Best for me to not be around it.

  • Just show up! Everyday does not have to be a killer workout. Your eating does not need to be on point everyday. Every step in the right direction no matter how small, is still in the right direction. How did your day go?

Been having healthy days. It is discouraging the scale is not showing it, but I know I have to just stick with it! Hope I can keep it up!

Kaitlyn G.

You got this! Just stay positive and strong willed!

Has anyone got any advice on how to get over gym anxiety I end up hiding in the corner every time I go in 🙈

thats a hard one. good question. My trainer had me do an exercise in the middle of the gym that I would never have done by myself.

Sparkbeck

What helped me with my new gym (well, been there 2 years now) is getting with instructor right away to set up program with certain weight machines. I just concentrated on going to those and workout and not thinking about anything else. Next I attended an exercise class, and was delighted to see although there were some that was physically fit, most of the participants were just like me, struggled with a lot of it, but knew whatever I did, it was burning calories. After attending few more times, I was improving and feeling more comfortable.
Trust me I understand the anxiety, but it WILL get better if you push yourself to do it!! Let us know how it goes! We are here to cheer you on!
