Hello everyone! I have enjoyed walking since I could remember. For me, walking just makes you feel good inside and out. I would walk for up to three hours (if I really pushed myself) around my community. I have always been curious about marathons, and for a time I wanted to participate in one. I would not do very well in a marathon setting realistically (running/jogging is a no go for me lol), but I know I would do well with walking. I walk for normally an hour to sometimes an hour and a half depending on where I walk.

I have done the 5k walk-a-thons twice with my mom to raise money for cancer and those were fine...but I wanted to really challenge myself.

I signed up for a 21k walk-a-thon this upcoming September. I'm excited as I love walking and September is when my favourite season comes to play (autumn ❤️). For me, I put on my music and away I go.

For those who have walked or done over 10, 15, 20k of walking or running/jogging, do you have any tips for a newbie?

How would you deal with hunger? I eat pretty healthy about 95% of the time and the other 5% is a cookie or dessert once in a while. Tonight, it's been an hour and a half since I had dinner, and I'm still hungry. I know I shouldn't eat anything, but then again I could have something light, like fruit.

Hi everyone, I am new to weight lifting and I enjoy it. I began with lifting 5lb dumbbells and 'graduated' (in a way) to 7lb dumbbells. I know I still have a long way to go, but how would you deal with low motivation with weight lifting? I try to lift weights even just for 5 minutes 4 times a week, but for example today I am just too tired to lift weights.

Hello everyone! I'm 34 F 5'7 and currently weigh 219.6 lbs. I have been overweight practically all my life, and have always been told by my mom to hold my stomach in (I have the flared out ribs now because of it or the mark from always holding my stomach in). I swam for several years and that helped, but then I stopped in high school. I kept it leveled until first year university and it just went downhill from there.

I have been serious about weight loss and eating right for 3 months now, and I always see different videos about weighing yourself every day vs. every month vs. every week. My goal is to lose 50-70 lbs by next year, and I am down 7lbs. I'm very happy about that, don't get me wrong. I know I have a long way to go, and I'm trying to think of baby steps first.

For me, I always bloat like a balloon before, during, and one week after shark week. Do I still weigh myself during shark week, or wait until it's done. Essentially, I would not weigh myself for three weeks.
