@Beeps2011 - prayers for a successful surgery.
@alf1163 - yes, things happen for a reason, and as Beeps said, "happy accidents". Despite the major life change, I will be happy to have some answers. I have always said my fainting spells stem from my stomach. Hmmmm.
I finally got out to weed my flower garden. I was darn near eaten alive by black flies, Holy moly, I was covered, despite practically bathing in fly repellent. Got it done though!
Have B&B guest arriving today and am full the rest of the week. My friends from California arrive next week. Am looking forward to enjoying some time off with them. I will be running though, as we are supposed to be "training".1 -
Hi everyone, I would like to join too. I am 42 and just recently came back after finishing up with a late in life Master's degree. lol. done, and now I can concentrate on getting my weight into a manageable range. I am hoping to lose 50+ pounds. I have let myself get way too heavy. I am powered up and ready to rock it. Just need to find a way to carve out dedicated time to working out. Hope to talk to many of you soon! Cheers!2

Hi all! Haven't posted lately - life has been hectic to say the least........
Got serious about getting in shape in February of this year
March 30 had complete hysterectomy w/complications that put me back in the hospital 1 night and then 1 night in ER
Came back to work first of May
Inherited a TON of new responsibilities at work - which I'm loving!!!
Due to a complication of March surgery - scheduled to have my gall bladder removed July 7 - EEK!!!!
I've been sticking to my diet and workout plan as much as I can.....obviously after my first surgery I was stuck in bed/gym restriction for 5 weeks.....ate a lot of "comfort" food
No junk food in 2 weeks tho - feeling proud and even loosing the craving for it

I'm going on a road trip for several days and I have to keep on track while traveling. I am confident I can do it though. I'll bring breakfast and lunch stuff with me (our hotel will have a fridge) and I'll be careful when I'm eating dinner out. And then if I have trouble, at least it's only one meal.0

@Beeps good luck with surgery.
@sdereski not that I'm happy you have celiac (maybe), but I'm glad there is hopefully an answer to your symptoms.
I'm still doing the same old thing. I did however just grade in self defence and now have a green belt!
I finally got down to 144 (still aiming for 140), I've been bouncing from 144-147. Now we're into beer season so not sure of my chances of getting to 140!2 -
Hello. I fall into the 40+ age category. I'm getting a fresh start on my weight loss journey. My big goals for the rest of 2016 include losing weight, exercising more and cleaning up my diet. My daughter has just gotten braces, and we are having to change our eating habits anyway. Hopefully I can use this to my advantage and make some positive changes for myself as well. 3

@Beeps, hope the surgery goes well.
@sdereski - ditto the others, at least you now may have an answer and can take positive action...that's always a positive, even if the action is a challenge.
Welcome new folks.
I'm still working on my monthly goals, but have a number of other places to post (24 hour challenge, planking challenge, June weekly weigh in challenge, and the Memorial day summer challenge), so decided to save y'all from reading the wall of text. I decided that I wanted to add in "play time" to my workouts thinking it would be fun and relatively easy...heck, playing is HARD work!! I tried swings a week ago, and playing some hopscotch today...I barely lasted 5 minutes doing either. When did playing get so tough?! Man it stinks being an adult sometimes. At least I have my paddleboarding...lol.
Happy Summer everyone!!1 -
Surgery is over. Four little incisions...one needed zero stitches and one needed four stitches. I think the others needed two stitches.
Pathology report is between 2- and 6- weeks from now.
I am fine.
BOOM!4 -

I was having trouble losing any weight at all, but my doctor recommended not worrying so much about fat and increasing my protein by quite a bit, and that's been making a big difference this time around.
Your doctor is spot on. For three decades we have been demonizing fat to the point where incredibly healthy foods like avocados were feared. You have nothing to fear from fat. Fat does not make you fat.0 -

Agreed. If you have Netflix check out sugarcoated. May not be 100% accurate but interesting the influence of the sugar industry in pushing that fat is bad.0 -

@Beeps2011 - so good to hear surgery went well and you are FINE!
Now the wait.....
Haven't done much of anything these past few days beside the bit of gardening I did the other night. Really need to get back on the horse. Messaged my PT asking when we can start up again. Hoping it is sooner rather than later.
Good job to those that keep on bringing it daily!2 -
Good week so far shoulders, bis and tris on monday, 31k bike yesterday with 500m of elevation, Kettlebells today - providence.
