I had a big gain in the last two weeks. I'm not happy about it. I feel like a failure, and it sucks. I have wasted half this year. I have one month to finish strong and build some momentum going into next year. This was supposed to be the year that really changed my life, but it was the year that I learned that this isn't easy or automatic. You have to work on losing weight everyday at every meal and every activity. Only then will success come.
On a side note, I am looking at buying a treadmill. I am seeking advice on what to look for and what to avoid. My price range is modest. It may top out at $500 which doesn't seem like it will get me much based on what I am reading online. Any help will be appreciated.
Yesterday's Steps: 10,329
The picture is to remind me what not to go back to.

Oo, sorry to read about your little backsliding. Sometimes life can run away with you, but it's important you've reined yourself back in. You were so motivated before, so you can definitely restore that motivation and do another several-months stint to bring you still closer to your goal!!
Sorry about the gain. I've done that, and as long as you realize that it's BEHIND YOU now and move on to eating healthy again, you'll be okay.
Weight loss does eventually slow down if you have a long journey to take. It took me one year to lose the first 100 pounds, but in the past 6 months, I've lost another 24.5. Much slower than before, but it's all getting me there eventually.
You are right on, it isn't easy and you have to be on top of the game every day, every meal. Believe me, if you look at my pics in my profile, I am like I am now, because I don't eat what most people I know eat.... some of my friends say I eate sticks and twigs most of the time. But yet I still have 10 extra pounds right now, becuase I have that extra roll with butter when I go out to eat with freinds, or I share in that appetizer they ordered etc... You have to really want to do it and it's never easy! Hang in there, keep after it and you will keep seeing the results you want!
DUDE....you are not a failure. DO NOT say that. You have been thru alot this year. Moving, job...ect.
Get your head in the right place. You can do this! Remember this thing centers in our mind. It's alot more about how your think, then you'd think...lol
Just focus on walking and eating good for you foods. Forget about tracking for a while. That's what I do. It works for me...hope it works for you too.
YOU CAN DO THIS! I don't know anything about treadmills. sorry
What to consider when buying a treadmill
Others have written much about what you should consider when selecting a treadmill. Google or some other search engine will help you find it.
We suggest that, in addition to what others recommend, the treadmill should be quiet. Noise canceling headset will please some users but others in the room will be annoying by the constant noise from the use of the treadmill. Also there are reports that headphones can interfere with heart devices. Sound doesn't mean power
Note well: most treadmill have a weight limit and your weight could void the warranty. upgrading your budget may enable you to find one that will give you a warranty.
The warranty, guarantee, and/or service contract should be for the life of the treadmill. This means expressly that the treadmill should operate and fulfill all of your expectations as specified in the treadmill's specifications. Therefore, a thing like motor size has less importance when considering a treadmill. Aren't you buying what the treadmill's manufacturer and seller warranties, or guarantees? They are the experts and know what they are selling. If you can't trust their word, whom can you trust? After all if the treadmill malfunctions or ceases function as specified then you are entitled to have it fixed or modified until it meets the agreed upon specifications. Motor size is the manufacture's problem. If it, or any other part or component doesn't work he replaces or fixes it. Of course all of this is contingent upon the warranty, guarantee, and/or service contract that you buy along with your treadmill.
Once you have determined the value of the fitness program you can project that the end point will come at the end of the user's life. The program is a lifetime commitment. Your equipment should last or be replaced to fulfill that commitment.
The fitness plan or program cost should be categorized as a preventable health care cost or expense. Hopefully you will begin to think in terms of long-term costs and savings the fitness program offers. Hence thinking or planning for these health care costs must be given priority.
