let them prepare their meals; they are already grown up they can do it themselves.

for a heating pad, use a cherry stone pillow, the stones in the pillow act like a massage on the stomach that increases the blood flow that would decrease cramps.

I agree with this, when you do it outside you tend to go slower especially if you are tired. compared on a treadmill where the pace is constant

5 years ago I was wearing size 10-12 and not size 16-18 lol.

Our family is a devoted Christian. We were raised by our parents to spend special time and observe lenten season with respect.

Doing rope exercise. It's very tiring but all worth it.

I love playing Bruno Mars' songs!

That's the hardest part also for me. But the pushups and rope exercise helped me a lot.

I have an Apple watch. It was just a birthday gift for me.

LOL! those easter candies will go straight to the hips.

I remember someone once told me that I look like the young Lynda Carter

I am using a playlist in Spotify, I just searched "workout songs"

If you are really best of friends and really close, I don't think your weight loss will affect your friendship. As you've said, you support each other so I don't think there will be any issue

try using weights, it will firm up your arms

Numb Heart...take it literally.

Really? Six months? He has a long way to go then, but he'll survive it, just as you did. Thank you for your inspiring suggestions. I will relay these to him. And yes, I'll definitely encourage him to visit his doctor. He's been having talk therapy sessions through Better Help and he thinks they've been helping him get better. That emotional flush, we will be anticipating and hopefully, he'll be stronger and wiser to be able to overcome all this - because it's all for him and his family. Please continue to drop in your experiences and advice and I'd be glad to relay it to him. Thank you all again.

I watched From Fat to Finish Line too, and it was quite interesting. However, the first thing I would remind you is always - before trying anything - consult your physician. He knows best.

Kudos to you! I wish you more pounds to shed and I'll be following your journey.
