in Health and Weight Loss
I just wanted to share with you all that even tho some days it seems to much hard work to make healthier choices or to get up and work out and feels like that this journey of losing weight and becoming healthy is a never ending long journey its Worth It :)
Since i started losing weight ive now lost just over 10 stone, i lost 9 stone put over 6 back on due to being inactive from a back problem and now ive lost all i gained since september and now im no longer on blood pressure pills, no longer on pills for under active thyroid and now im no longer diabetic :)
So never give up even if you have a bad day and fall off the getting healthy wagon, climb back on it and cling on and finish that journey and be proud that you achieved giving yourself a happier healthier life. You can do it :) x

    Reading posts like this is what helps me when I'm feeling stressed and down over my weight loss. I'm still trying to get into the right mindset and lifestyle even though it's been 3 months since I joined. Just gotta keep moving along! :smile:

    I like that. Losing weight is not about being skinny or always seeing the numbers go down. It is about being a winner and choosing to be healthy no matter what . It is like deciding to still play your best in a game even though you know you are going to lose. I remember watching ice skating and seeing an ice skater fall down. They don't get up and walk off the ice. They get back up and skate, even though they know they might have cost themselves the medal. And we applaud them. That is because at the end of the day we know that this is more than a medal. It is about life, a decision, our character, and the person we want to remember ourselves as no matter if we crossed the finish line or not.

    That's one of the hardest bits getting back up after a fall, and just by getting back up and carrying on you have made an achievement :)

    Being Boooie's friend for a few years, I have seen her struggle and unhappiness with her bad health, knowing that she can do it, is healthier and fitter and happier is really an inspiration for me. Even though we now dont live just round the corner, having done exercise in the past with her, it means when I exercise now I hear her voice encouraging me in my head, so days like yesterday when I was finding it hard, i could hear her telling me not to give up. And she is still doing it on here, and seeing that she has got where she wanted means I wont give up until I do too.
