I usually walk circles in the basement but it flooded. Plumber is coming tomorrow. I could do another pass with the shop vac.2

Let's share our favourite healthy recipes - new ways to enjoy food and feel great. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10837191/f2f-recipe-central#latest0 -
I'm trying to shift my mindset so that I'm heading towards better health, rather than running away from being obese.
So I've been thinking about what the new, slimmer me would do, what things I'm looking forward to.
- Eating healthily, not binging "bad food" but not depriving myself. Not being embarassed by food.
- Being more active, cycling, kayaking, maybe jogging again. Having more energy to complete projects like repairing the car.
- Not cringing when the TV or radio mentions obesity, health, diabetes, blood pressure. I can feel people looking at me.
- Laughing with my family and friends, being confident around people.
I'm going to start acting like this now - I may not be my target weight now, but I can start to live my target life immediately.

Your thought process is the same as mine. I started living like I wanted, eating better, exercising, and the confidence around people came as the weight came off. You got this!

Good morning team!
We are looking for a volunteer to be a motivator for the team.
Looking forward to having someone that will be active in the message boards, start conversations, etc.
Our team has grown and we need to keep up the excitement for making healthy progress!!
If you have any interest in this, let myself or Beka3695 know.
Have a great Wednesday!!

Tomorrow is my birthday and the goal date I set for myself to hit a healthy BMI. I am 1.9 pounds away. If I don't hit it, I am not going to be upset. I have lost 63 pounds!! I am so happy about that.10

Yes! I'm with you! My ortho doc assumed I'm diabetic cuz I'm fat - ain't so. There is a ME inside that wants to be set free - not held captive by my weight. You CAN do this. Git 'er done!2 -

Yes girl! Our bodies dictate the "when" of weight loss. You are KILLING it. Keep going! You WILL get to that number.2 -
Good Morning Everyone,
Even though it is NOT my weigh in day for this challenge, I did step on the scale because I like to track my monthly progress. I lost exactly 8 pounds in June and I am STOKED.
47.4 pounds total since starting this journey.
I have been focusing on habits. I created my own habit tracker to keep in my planner and record my stats daily. This is REALLY helping me keep my eye on the prize and focus on my health.
My goal is to lose 5 pounds in July.
Thanks for being part of my weight loss team!

Good Morning Everyone.
Saw a nice dip in the number on the scale today...hope it holds fast on that number for my weigh in this week.
We are headed to Tennessee this week for vacation...visiting my husband's family. 12 hours in the car means I won't hit my normal step goal...however, I plan to walk for a few minutes at each of our stops. And once we get to my in-laws, they have a great neighborhood for walking...as long as I can withstand the TN humidity...lol
I hope everyone has a great and successful day!

Well, I didn't make it all the way to my goal. 1.1 pounds away from it, to be exact! No way am I going to let this burst my bubble though. I feel absolutely amazing and I am so proud of myself for not giving up. Healthy days are here to stay!8
