    Wow!! So now its Saturday. End of another week. Looking like a wet weekend for me. Need the rain but it hinders my outdoor exercise.

    I'm in. I'm going through a lot of changes. I recently ended a long term relationship and I'm starting a new job tomorrow. I want to start everything fresh and stay focused.
    I'm from Upstate Ny.
    My biggest challenge is going to be emotional eating and boredom since I'll be working from home now.

    I would like to be in this group, please count me in. I'm 56 and have a lot of excess weight still to lose. Was doing really good, but allowed personal issues to get in the way and stopped trying. I am determined that this is the year, that I finally reach my goal weight and it's the beginning of a whole new life for me.






    Welcome!

    I've been completely incapacitated by Achilles Tendonitis for the past month. So painful I can barely walk. I've been battling this for over 9 months and I am so tired of it. I've gained about 4 lbs from just sitting and barely moving. It's so discouraging.

    Does anyone else feel like they are at war with their own body? I want my body to be my friend. Why doesn't it like me? :)

    I joined this past weekend. Got 35 pounds to lose. Exercise is no problem for me but food is another story. Could I join in?

    @tensquaredlives, so sorry you're dealing with this. I have rheumatoid arthritis (everywhere, pretty much), thyroid issues, plantar fasciitis, and know what you mean about being at war with your own body. I hope you can move past the discouragement. Are there any options for you for relief? Surgery, etc.?
