Greetings and good day. It is a pleasure to join this group on a journey to a healthier me. To reignite my journey I recently joined Planet Fitness. My trainer there used this sight to lose over 100 lbs, and extols the sight's virtues. Here I am!
I'm 57 and have been fat my entire life. As an adult I've gotten below 300 lbs once, some 25 years ago. My highest weight that I know of was 429. It could have been higher, I just never got on a scale. I've taken off weight before, then put much back on. However, each time I restart, it is at a lower number. This week I restart at 350. My first goal is to get under 300. That would be a big deal for me. Even bigger are a couple of other goals I have. One is to be able to fit into size 40 jeans. Why 40? Because it seems every store has men's jeans up to a 40 without having to go to a big and tall shop. My other much longer range goal is to run in a 5K. Well, actually a 6K run, in St. Louis that is an event for Cardinals Care. It is a run downtown that finishes in the ballpark. The event is in September, and I don't think this summer would be an option. However, the event will be there in 2021! Thanks for reading, let me wish you well!
