 Ossie-Sharon 10 years ago | Hi, Jim. Sounds like a great plan. If you like TV and/or movies, I would definitely suggest doing your workouts in front of the screen. Other options include listening to music or recorded books. On a whole other plane, perhaps find a workout buddy. |
 JimHefling 10 years ago | I work out at home. 72 yrs old. I set up a schedule and have been able to maintain for a couple of months. I suggest kettlebells. At my age, regaining strength must come first. Question: any ideas to make the very act of going in to workout be FUN? |
| Ossie-Sharon 10 years ago | Hi, Bigid, and welcome! You are right on the money. We wish you continued health, and are happy to help in whatever way we can. |
 Bidigl01 10 years ago | I am ending my first day. Not at all hungry or fatigued. Hope I am doing this correctly. |
| Bidigl01 10 years ago | Meme 50. Read the ingredients on your powder cream for the coffee. I am not the nutritionist but I bet you would do better with a small amount of real cream rather than the chemicals. In the end if you must have it and you can follow the rest of the plan then a little cheat sounds better than none at all. If it makes you happy. |
 meme50 10 years ago | I asked in the other topic before but got no response. I was wondering can I add once a day a tablespoon of fat free coffee mate to my coffee? It is the none dairy creamer. |
| Ossie-Sharon 10 years ago | Sraggio, that’s so true! Though “50” is so young. Just think that Ernestine Shepherd started at 55, Harrison Ford is still doing his own stunts, and Betty White… 🙂 🙂 |

| Ossie-Sharon 10 years ago | Hi, angel36. That is typical at the beginning, and all that matters at this point are the tangible results you’re getting. The scale number will start to come down a little later – no worries! |
 angel36 10 years ago | I’m a little frustrated. I’ve got lots more energy, eating lots of what I’m suppose to. I can feel my clothes loosening on me yet the scale hasn’t budged ! 🙁 Any suggestions ???? |
| Ossie-Sharon 10 years ago | Hi, janet1068. I see you noticed the recommendations in the other thread. I hope that serves you well 🙂 |
 janet1068 10 years ago | I need to be motivated I work out side all day and drive a truck with my job. then come home and don’t feel like doing any thing. and cook dinner. Help. |
 becajo 10 years ago | Thanks everybody, those are great ideas. I’m going to implement parts of all of them! |
 KALB 10 years ago | Do you have favorite programs you’ve DVR’d? I like to watch them while I do the elliptical, it makes it go faster and I don’t feel like I’m wasting my time watching TV. |
 catrinadavis 10 years ago | Hey everybody! I also get up at 4:30am. I take a change bag and go “straight to the gym” after I get off of work. If I go home, I will stay home. That’s the only way that I can stay motivated even when I’m exhausted. God bless to all!! |
