Serial Starter

Hi, it’s me, the serial starter. I initially joined the app and whole other life ago, back in 2012. It helped me each my goals and I was even running marathons at that time!
Then out of nowhere I started gaining weight. I was baffled. I joined again in hopes of losing, but my weight wouldn’t budge, so I gave up.
I was diagnosed with perimenopause, and I was feeling renewed, so tried again. Then world shut down….and so, once again, I gave up.
Now, at 43, my life is looking much different, and therefore my mindset has shifted more into looking at movement vs being scale/weight focused. I’ve gained 70lbs since I first started, and of course, I’d like to lose it, but I want to focus more on staying active first.
I’d love to have friends join me along the way so feel free to send me a request!

Been on this app over 12 years now. I have had success in losing and maintaining. I am an avid triathlete and have been in the sport for over 10 years. Feel free to friend if you would like.0
