@888Angie888 - Sounds like what you are doing is really working. Congrats on the 12lbs! That really is a great loss in such a short time!
@363days - Thanks for liking my new pic. I color sometimes out of books I buy online and this is a picture I colored! BTW Congrats on your recent loss! Awesome!
@draby2011 - That sounds so exciting that you are getting a power lifting coach. Pardon my lack of knowledge, but I don't know much about that. Maybe you can explain it a litte? I'm assuming higher weights, but shorter times for lifts? It sounds very interesting! Great goal!
Does it have specific health benefits which are different then other types of lifting? I'm curious.
@azkunk - I get you on hating exercise. In my case, if I don't do daily core and biweekly lower body workouts, I am realizing my body falls apart and I am in the "injured zone". In my particular case, it is not a choice unless I want to fall into an injured state and be in pain. I'm very sorry to hear about the bursitis in your left hip and the arthritis in both of your knees. I have arthritis in both my knees and it's moving into my hips too...I hope the pain shot will be very helpful for your hip.
BTW Congrats on your recent NSV - Size 10 jeans! Incredible and awesome! YAY!
@Tazaria87 - That is so awesome that your parents are on MFP and losing weight with you! What a wonderful gift you are giving them and yourself! More years of health and time with you and your children.
@lcfa5317 @azkunk @363days - Super congrats on getting your covid shots! Never feel guilty for getting and needing the shots first. Due to being in healthcare and being vulnerable, we need to put you in the safety zone first. It also means the process is happening and that is great news for everyone!
@iradi8 - Congrats for not overeating even when you were so emotionally upset regarding your son's situation. I can't believe his water is off again! BUT, he will be joining you on vacation so he will be safe from that while he is with you and hopefully it will be on again when he gets back. I hope you have a lovely trip. I am afraid of planes too. I shake like a leaf during turbulence. It reminds me of how my parent's dog would shake in thunderstorms. I once went downstairs and found my dad sitting in the back of a closet holding the dog who was shaking so badly! He was a good daddy!
@rlaskey2 - Thank you for your note about my desk/monitor change. It worked for you so I hope it will help me too! I won't be going to a chiro, but I will probably do more physio.
@Bluetail6 -Congrats on your most recent loss- 158 - most definitely in a NEW DECADE!
@lindamtuck2018 - Congrats on your mini-walks. All those mini walks add up and make a difference to your health,wellbeing and weight. Way to go!
@heatherbluebell - Yoga for plus sizes sounds great! A friend of mine is doing an online class because of covid and she likes it very much. Funny about how our fur friends help our health! Glad kitty cat is helping your cortisol. Animals are so awesome! And I get you about being larger and feeling uncomfortable working out in gyms etc. I find it very intimadating.... I wish I didn't but it's hard not to...3 -

@garn76 & @TheresaM787 - welcome
@lelbarou - good job on your walk and listening to your body. I am starting to learn the hard way that I need to exercise as this old body starts to fall apart
@363 - thank you. I am really not looking forward to the shot but I know that it is what is best
@lindamtuck2018 - great job on the steps
@draby2011 - NICE loss! Excited for you to get started with the health coach!
@iradi8 - I am glad you are going on vacation with your family and your son is escaping Texas for a bit. Hopefully, all will be back to normal when he returns.
@mari_moulin - great job working out. It must be exciting to set up your home gym. If you end your gym membership now, that's more you can invest and make it into the gym of your dreams
@lcfa5317 - that's a lot of time in the car but worth it
@Tazaria87 - nice loss3 -
Thanks guys!!! I am excited to be here.1

Hi everyone!!! I’m very happy to join you. This week I’ve been focusing on increasing my calcium and protein, while still trying to get in as much water as I can. I usually fall short of 7 cups ( the goal is to finish 8 cups).
Ready to support one another. Let’s do this!!5 -
@TheresaM787 welcome to our team...Happy to have you with us🙂2

Today was the first day I practiced with the health coach. She gave me an amazing nutrition plan that I can adjust to meet my needs. I also had a pretty awesome workout this morning. Even though I am still sore from Friday's leg day! lol Tomorrow afternoon I meet with the personal trainer again for the first time in months so I am curious to see how his reaction will be. I did go for a walk/jog and ran for a longer distance than I have ever done! I was so proud of myself for that. Almost had to cut the walk short because I drank so much water I had to pee but toughed it out and made it home without calling for a ride. Really puts into perspective how far out I walk lol. I am soooo excited to see where I am 3 months from now. 3
