Hello everyone I'm looking for some advice on weight loss and tricks to change what I eat. I also would like some information on working out at home for the days that I don't gothe gym. Also do anyone know at what speed and incline do you have to walk the treadmill to start losing weight. I usually try to walk for a hour and ride the bike or other machines for 30 mins. Im just now really getting back into the gym so all help and advice will be great

Hi Sdtay2020 : It is great to get on the healthy lifestyle. This is my 2 cents worth, lol. I will be 70 this coming year so I have been around the block. What works for me is a lifestyle change. Moderation, portion control and no foods excluded and plenty of movement. I don't belong to a gym, but I do follow an exercise routine. Cardio, lifting weights, stretching, walking, and riding bike. I feel it is important to stick to your plan as much as you can. Sure we all fall off, but then get right back on. This is what works for me and my best in finding the best plan for you. The New Year is always a great day to re-group, actually each day is a new day for us to figure it out. Happy New Year!

The one thing that I have learned is that chose changes that you can stick to. I made drastic changes. I really tried to stick with them. I wavered ever so slightly and took a big downslide. So I gave up. Right now, I'm trying to fid what is right for me.

Right now, many exercise apps are having free trials. Check around. Look for an app with exercises you might be interested in.
