The scale moved!
Ok yeah, I know the scale isn’t everything but man this was my first go at it and yeah I went over my calories and I know it and I keep trying to do good every time. I got a long way to go but sheeeesh it feels good either way! I bought a spin bike that’s able to hold my weight. I’m very intimidated at this point.

Delulu Reasons Why

There's a kind of embarrassing, secret third reason that might be motivating us, unless I'm just alone. It's kind of petty, but a…

Long journeys
Started February 9th at 222 lbs... my goal is 160 lbs. I am 5'7 & 38 years old. It's a long process and I am here for it. I'm in no rush. I'm not skimping on any calories and trying to starve myself either. My first goal set in mind is to get under 200 lbs of course. I think that's a common one for people over 200 to have.…
