Ten Years Ago in a State Far Far Away

Louisefen

Ten years ago, in a state far, far away, I had over a 100 pounds to lose. And by early 2013, I succeeded.

Fast forward to 2017, still slim and working out regularly, I moved to my dream city of Seattle, I met my husband, I married, and life was good.

Fast forward to 2018, and uh oh, maybe I was getting a little too comfortable. 30 pounds too comfortable. Fast forward to the end of 2019 and I was 50 pounds too comfortable. But I was working a physically demanding job and holding steady. Life was still good.

And then...well everyone knows what happened then. For everyone who only gained 10 or 15 pounds, or even 20 or 30 pounds, you just weren't trying hard enough! I was a lockdown over achiever.

So now I have a 100 pounds to lose again. Life is still good, but I don't think I'll be living very long at this weight. Plus, I miss the old me. I miss running. I miss swimming. I miss bicycling. I get out of breath walking across the house, and we do not live in a mansion. So I remembered my fitness pal, which I used from the very beginning, way back 10 years ago. So here I am again.

Hi everybody, and especially everybody who is back at it again. Because I can already see looking at the introduce yourself thread that I am not alone. We can do this! Again!
