Thank you so much for the reply! Time to get down to business. Admittedly I wasn't eating much protein except for the shakes... So will eat more of that. Didnt really look out for the hidden sugars, so I need to do that as well. Thanks again for the response, I'm heading back to the gym tomorrow for the first time in a year

Hi guys Ive been on and off of this forum for over a year now. About a year ago I was on such a mission to get healthy and lose weight (I've got a lot of weight to lose) and was all in for about 5 weeks. I was at gym 5 days a week. I had a weights and cardio plan that I stuck to, and I loved it. As for diet, I avoided junk food, sodas and stuff like white bread. I drank protein shakes (the Diet Fuel kind) and thought I was on my way to successful weight loss. But after those 5 weeks I finally weighed myself and I hadn't lost any weight at all. I thought I had approached the whole thing the "right" way, and I was so disheartened. I gave up and decided being overweight was just something I had to accept. But I'm on a mission again. I refuse for this to be it. I'm a mom of a toddler, I have my own business and I've got a full schedule. Im exhausted all the time. I've had enough of this. What is the best way to change my health for good? What is sustainable? Thanks in advance!!

Thanks for the responses guys! @Dandelion Thanks! I will definitely do what you suggested @vegeta I was all ready to start classes again but got a bit worried that I wasnt fit enough... But I think you're right - better to just jump right in! -
Hi everyone! I'm 28 years old and a mom to a toddler I am extremely unfit and unhealthy, diagnosed with insulin resistance and a host of deficiencies, not to mention my asthma and allergies. I owe this to my sedentary lifestyle as a freelance writer (besides running around after my toddler all day). I did fencing way back in high school and I felt like I had found something I really enjoyed that didn't involve sitting (my hobbies are along the lines of Minecraft, reading, sci-fi movies, etc). Anyway, high school was of course a very long time ago but I decided a couple of months ago I needed to get healthy and fit for the sake of my son and my future children. I want to be a good role model. I would like to go back to fencing but I am not nearly fit enough to jump in yet. I began searching for good ways to up my fitness level and get strong for fencing, and Nerd Fitness came up. I signed up at a gym right near my apartment and I have been loving going there every day (I go when it's quiet so to avoid the crowds). I am looking forward to chatting to everyone - I do love me a good forum (I met my husband on a gaming forum...) Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated!
