I am struggling too! Hang in there! 💪 💯 🌎 🫶 ☘️ 

Be strong Bear I believe you can do this and I’ve seen others here get it done. Be blessed. Be strong. In Him we can do all things. 

When we fall down then we have to get back up and keep moving it’s a journey don’t beat yourself up we’ll all here for you and have been where your at stay strong ☃️ 

Stress just means you need to find an outlet to help lower it's impact. It can be anything like a hobby, meditation, or some form of enjoyable exercise like dancing or boxing. I have found that a sedentary job doesn't mean your life has to be the same. Find and exercise that you enjoy and set it up as your play time either after dinner or early morning. I used to go on YouTube and do kickboxing and dancing exercises after dinner. (Can't now, due to a medical condition...but I will find something I can do.) 

Age does not preclude a more active lifestyle. You might consider activities that not only increase calorie burn but are also beneficial to bones and joints. Good old walking is a great place to start. Most people can do it. Even pool walking, swimming are excellent choices for obese people, older people or people with mobility issues.  

Moving forward is always a good thing!👍 

There are sites that specifically address how to incorporate movement into your sedentary desk jobs. It’s hard, that is for sure, but I hate seen some creative ideas. 

You've got this! 

Investigate some "Chair Yoga" moves that can become part of a routine. This probably really dating me, but I'd sit up straight and reach for the ceiling with the top of my head as I said, "Good morning, it's Grace. How can I help you."  

Welcome back!!! 

Sounds like you are headed in the right direction. Strength training will increase your metabolism more v. cardio as we get older. Maybe go on-line and find a calorie calculator to find the calorie deficit you need. You usually put in your age, height and activity level. I track my food w a scale and FS. Takes the guesswork out. Good luck! 

welcome back🙋‍♀️ 

Hang in there bro. We are here to support you. Stay focused and keep pushing. You got this! 

You got this 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 

I'm in a similar situation. I feel the exact same way. Im not getting any younger and Im doing myself a disservice by not treating this body right. We both got this! 

Include swimming in your workout and keep watching what you eat. 👊 

You got this! The important thing is you are paying attention. 

Welcome back and good luck on your journey! 

Thanks for all the encouragement. I needed that. I will try to incorporate all the good advice. I appreciate the great responses. It is nice to know others understand what you are going through, wishing you all the very best. 

👋👋👋How you holding up?
