Making myself walk again

I walked up the slope again tonight. I am breathing and sweating. I like that feelings. I walked for about a week around xmas. I stopped for a week because of foot pain. I decide to walk again for shorter time. I’ll walk 30 min every night for the next two months. If I can manage that, there’s hope for weight loss.

Great job! I am starting to ride my bike. I got a stand where you mount your bike to it and you can ride it inside. I really enjoyed it!

I’ve never exercised when I didn’t want to

and I don’t think it’s a good idea

I’m with you, @goggles! Good for you! Make sure you stretch before and after walking.
I’m starting to walk again too. I want to lose 40lbs… not sure how long it will take. Good luck to both of us! :walking_man:t6::walking_woman:t2:

Good advice! I have 60 to 70 lbs to loose! I want to spend four years to lose it. So I’m hoping to lose 15 lbs in a year.

That’s a smart time table. You can do it! My weight has always been an issue for me. I’ve been too thin and too heavy and everything in between. When my son was little I had gained a lot of weight. I lost 70lbs in about a year. I kept it off mostly, but now (years later) I’m up about 40lbs. (50 if I want to be thin again) :slightly_smiling_face: I’m getting older and it’s harder to motivate myself but I’m ready to try.

I want to be back to 119. That is 40lbs. I want to look like this again.

I’m also starting walking. I gained 50 pounds on Invega and I’m just praying to God that Abilify doesn’t do the same to me. Can’t wear any of my clothes, hard to breathe, it’s such ■■■■■■■■!

@Sooner88 how much ambilify do you take?

I’ve started walking too. It was too much too soon. Still have a sore neck and today my knee is a bit ouchy. I heat packed my neck and am now icing my knee. I think I’ll only do a mile today.

15mg!!! That’s a medium dosage but I still worry about it.

I am just on 5 and it still made me gain weight

Noooooooooooooooooooo!!! :cry:

How much weight? 50 pounds? That’s what I gained on Invega, in 3 months.

A good 15 lbs. I am always hungry

I have only been on it for a few months

Well don’t eat then. It’s not the medicine making you gain weight, it’s YOU! Just eat normally. I gained 50 pounds on Invega without eating any more than normal.
