    Springer Mountain is a couple of hours north, but their chicken is a hot menu item ‘round here.

    Springlering is a very obscure Tolkien reference. The word appears only one time in Lord of the Rings, as the name of the dance the Hobbits do at the Party Tree. But it’s such a lovely word. Just rolls off the tongue- once you realize it’s not “spring le’ring”.

    I’ve specified when my time comes, I’d like my pyre to include a fresh copy of LOTR, all my Oingo Boingo albums and CDs, and my battered copy of The Collected Short Stories of E M Forster.

    👍🏻

    @Hiawassee88 One of BL’s lingering regrets about weight loss is giving up Claxton fruitcakes. He picked one up last Christmas and put it down with tears in his eyes.

    @JBanx256 A photo of yourself might help to show context and explain your description of hunger and hanger, since you maintain an extremely low body fat %.

    It would also help explain how you are in the “overweight” category. Beleive me!!!! You would NEVER look at this woman and have the word “overweight” in your mind.

    . 🤷🏻‍♀️

    A couple photos taken this past Saturday (I do a bi-weekly self check-in), 09/10/22 morning:

    These are photos in maintenance & are roughly 12-ish pounds up from the condition I dieted down into for my photoshoot (if you can see my profile pic, that was from 03/12 of this year after a pretty hard (but not insane) 10-week cut)

    @JBanx256 Awesome is an understatement. Exquisite perfection.

    @springlering62 Synchronicity. Bing. That's the one. When I tell people I'm related to fruitcakes, they have no idea. 🤣😂

    Welcome Travis, congrats on the bloodwork and all that goes with it. The first few responses on page 1 of this post had some great suggestions. Personally, tracking/journaling and walking is what has worked best for me with a little lifting. I find the Success Stories with pictures to be inspirational reading. Find what works best for you. Stick around, follow/friend some members, read some threads, stay the course and be good to yourself.

    Hey there @Bittertraaman,
    Well done for taking that first big step. My first and probably biggest piece of advice i had learnt was the weightloss game starts in your head. Food though only a fraction of the battle can be sorted out eventually, and exercise can be learnt and incorporated into your new life style. But above all your mental state, will power and positivity will start you on your journey. You've got this, and your MFP family has got you, we can do this 😁

    @Bittertraaman Find a swimming pool. If you don't know how to swim, walk around in shallow end. Hang onto the sides and kick your legs. Use floatation boards, one under each arm and move across the pool. Get your momentum going and when you finish in the pool, you will feel so much better. Water is good medicine. Relax in the hot pool.

    Believe me @Bittertraaman this is an excellent idea, if you haven't been active in a while your joints and body will thank you for it. Low impact exercising is great for getting your muscles and joints moving while working on improving your heart health.

    Also short bouts of walking multiple times a day, work your way up. Its not a race, its a lifestyle change
