What is one thing you are thankful for each week about your health and fitness journey?-- Each week I am thankful for increased core strength and better posture.0 -
I AM SO IN... 2.2 kg for me
I am trying not to focus on the scales too much and trying to focus on how clothes look/feel and muscle tone... but if I could drop a couple kilos this month it would be great! I'll give this a go - but if I don't see a change on the scale, its cause of muscle-gain from working out 6 times a week!
Anyways, good luck guys!!

I am thankful for... Well this quote that I found sums it up...
"I workout, because I can. When I get tired, or I am short on time, or I want to quit...I think about how lucky I am to be healthy enough to workout daily. Be grateful for your health and your ability to become STRONGER. Don't ever take it for granted!"0 -

I am thankful that I have a body that allows me to walk, talk, dance, lift things, type, enjoy normal cuddles and "bouncy cuddles", run, swim, cycle and anything else I might decide to do. I'm very lucky and will continue to appreciate my body for all of the things it allows me to do, not just because it doesn't fit into a certain sized dress or can't do some other things. That said, I'm also thankful I've taken the opportunity to make it stronger, fitter and more healthy - so that it can continue to serve me well for years to come.0 -
