Feeling encouraged!

Btico

Beginning weight, 299. Weighed today and 288 popped up. I, like many, have tried it all. Maybe it was all God's timing, or the difference being now a sense of motivation....whatever it is, I feel good today! I have a buddy and we are doing this journey together. We belong to a gym...ya, I know. B.O.R.I.N.G., no offense to you gym-buffs, but this girl was in foreign territory. We started on the equipment....yawn. I quickly became bored. We both did. So we jumped into our suits and hopped into the pool. We both swim 90 minutes daily....yes, that's seven days a week. We go at all hours and have made a few friends in the process. We are both over the modesty issues that plagued us for a long time, being overweight and lacking confidence. We jump in, swim, hit the jacuzzi and then the sauna. Voila! Done for the day. I have arthritis and this routine has helped me in so many ways. I am not focusing on the number on the scale, which I rarely even step on, I am gauging by how I feel.
Nice to "meet" you all!! We can do this!!
