    What a lovely team -I’m pumped to be joining you. It will take me a day or so to gauge how the post formats are done. For the purpose of introductions, My name is Tanya, I live in rural Ontario (Canada). Mom of 2 (14,11). I discovered this app in 2018 and joined a challenge such as this and it’s the most success I have had to date. I am serious to make health-forward decisions, I’d like to lose a bit, get some confidence and momentum and re-introduce the physical activity piece (pain has been a deterrent). Ultimately I’m in in for the long haul and to get into a healthy range...I will need to lose a cool 100lbs. I have all my vitamins and supplements, increasing water and have been alcohol-free since Thanksgiving (second weekend in October). 2 interesting things about me-1) we love animals -we rent on a farm and have a few cats and 2 wiener dogs, we got a Maine Coon this summer. 2) I did a cold plunge today in a near freezing Georgian Bay (the Great Lakes). It was actually fantastic- I’m going to do it again.

    Welcome Tanya and great loss this week. You got this! ROOTING for you to succeed at your goals

    I was sooooo excited today was my 1st time at aquatherapy in a long time. I love my therapist she started me off easy to see how I would do and I excel. Told me to lay off my home workout for a day of two to see how my body deals with the soreness or pain afterwards so we'll see. I got home and was poop after that workout.

    Goals/comments Took it easy today as per my PT orders so won't have any extreme side affects. Paid off cause I suffer a lot of chest pains yesterday after baking low carb blueberry muffins and banana nut nut muffins (without bananas).

    I had originally brought bananas assuming I needed them which in fact I had to use banana extract. . .😂😂😂😂😂 WHO KNEW? They were good though. I BET THE KETO EXPERTS ON THIS FORUM KNEW😂😂😂 Everyday you learn something new.

    Went to my pain management doctor got 12 trigger point injections hopefully they last till next year. Since I'm moving more and not STAYING in bed 24/7 like I use to the injections wear off faster. But I'm going to keep moving especially to get rid of the visceral fat so my Pulmonary hypertension and COPD-ASTHMA can get better.

    Found out today my brother has Diabetes A1C 10.2 praying for him but it felt good to give him some advice as I just reverse my Diabetes, praying he can do the same.

    Well it’s not a lot for this week but considering I was at my highest weight exactly 1 month ago at 257.3 -I have lost 11 pounds. I have taken action-which was my first goal. Slowly I have introduced some lasting changes. First, have been alcohol free for 1 month. I did start an injection medication (Saxenda) for weight loss due to health concerns (take it now short term or later...forever). And frankly the two didn’t mix-It’s a pretty invasive step and I can’t do that and then drink-just not right and probably harmful. Next, I purchased all of my favourite vitamins -I like natural things like garlic, magnesium, collagen, astragalus, iodine, selenium, ashwagandha, copper, zinc, D3, K2, chlorella...and I’m not done..just ran out of money. I reengaged with this app and this joined this amazing group. Then I overhauled groceries and began some meal planning (still working on this. But crock pots and whole foods and salads -all things I love anyway. Now increased & consistent water intake. My next stage is exercise-I hurt and I am so busy at work-stay late and commute -but you know how people say “I don’t have time for a boyfriend”....until they meet someone and “poof” they find time-I’m going to put some thought around a plan and ramp up.....ideas, suggestions or successes are welcome!!
