    This is an amazing post imbued with thoughtful insight and some sound personal introspective detective work that can benefit us all. Thank you!

    Isn't it amazing when we choose to be happy and healthy, the habits and environmental factors that potentially sabotage those goals fall to the wayside and are replaced with new habits and new environments that foster these said positive changes?!

    It's nice when it finally "clicks" as it seems to have done for you. Congrats, and you are the raddest baddest :)

    I'm a bit of a data junkie and have worn a Fitbit Charge HR every day. For comparison purposes, here's an overlay of my heart rate measured throughout a 24 hour period on June 4, 2015 vs. March 4, 2016):

    HRoverlay-JunVSMar.jpg

    I was barely active on June 4, 2015 (3,675 steps and no 'active' minutes), yet by looking at the orange line (June 4, 2015) vs. the blue line (March 4, 2016), you can see how much harder my heart had to work throughout the day (including while sleeping) compared to March 4, 2016 when I walked over 20,000 steps and was active for just over 2 hours.

    Where did you go to find that chart comparison? I have the same fitbit. :)

    That chart doesn't come from Fitbit. I took a screenshot of each day individually from the mobile app, uploaded to my computer, then made the comparison in Photoshop by overlaying one of the images onto the other one. :smile:

    My previous update got deleted by a moderator because I included my username on social networking sites...sorry wasn't aware that this wasn't allowed. In any event, here's a re-post:

    As an update to my original post, I've now lost over 170 pounds (I don't weigh myself very often - last time was around the middle of June).



    Here are a few recent photos:

    My "not impressed" look (It poured rain shortly after this - still finished the trail despite being absolutely drenched from the rain!):
