    Welcome newbies!

    Shaun Week: Insane Focus Ripsanity! Holy Compound Moves Batman! That was awesome!

    Chest congestion is still hanging around so I decided to walk instead of run today. I wasn't coughing after Ripsanity, so maybe things are on the mend. Have a great weekend everyone!

    Okay. Here's my stats and goals
    age - 48
    Female
    Goal - to lose 160 pounds
    Diet - low calorie, keto diet under doctor's supervision (no sugar, little caffeine, etc...)
    Exercise - minimum of half hour moderate walking per day, moderate toning reps per day
    **First week on the program, I've made nice progress. I'm pleased with myself, but also realize that I have some very bad habits that need to go from my life. Food is my fuel, not my life.
    Glad to have community to support me in my journey:)

    Hiya! Forgive me for not reading all 472 pages *lol* so, this is my unofficial intro.
    I'm only as old as I look, and sticking to that story --- but, I belong here.
    My initial goal is to lose 57 pounds. I'll still be overweight, but I'll come up with new numbers after I reach the first one.
    The diet is a work in progress as it has to become my new WOE because I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes on 6/21. Since then, I have stopped the humalog at meals, started Metformin, and decreased the lantus. Endo thinks I can be off the injections by October. For now, I am trying to do low carb, no additional sugar, blah blah blah.
    Still recovering from major surgery, I haven't been cleared for exercise yet, but I try to at least walk around every day - grocery shopping or around my complex.
    I'm a mom, a partner, a crafter, and granter of my cat's whims.

    Ran to the Y and back. Lifted while I was there. Then flopped onto the sofa to watch a Clint Eastwood movie. Hope everyone's having a good weekend!

    Yay did a 40 minute boxing abs video. Took the past two am days off since I've been running back and forth to the hospital to see my mom. It's been a bit exhausting

    I'm 43, 5'6 and 184 pounds need to get rid of 30 pounds. I went to the superstore yesterday to check my body mass index and it said 29.57 overweight (I am a smidgen under obese according to their chart) and my body fat which said 39.19% - at risk.

    Interestingly, it doesn't seem to have stopped me from doing my favourite hobby - hiking. I went up a mountain on Friday that had me sidestepping and scrambling up an elevation gain of 1,400 meters. It took 14 hours in large part because of the sketchy-ness (extremely steep). On one hand - yay to me for being able to do it with some much extra weight on me; however on the other hand - maybe it would have been a whole lot easier and faster if I was the weight I should be! and... I have been barely able to walk for two days since that hike, so recovery would likely be much faster if I was the weight I should be.

    I know why I'm overweight, I have a sedentary job. Been trying to create the habit of exercising first thing in the morning, then stationary bicycle (going hard for 5 mins) every hour or two. And of course, eating healthy and less (I've restricted myself to 1200 calories) ! I'm a week in now. I was 188 lbs a week ago, so I appear to have lost a bit of weight already (though maybe most of it is water?) Haven't done squat exercise wise for three days now since my crazy *kitten* hike!... I think the battle really is to not fall back to old routines (sitting in front of a computer for hours and hours)

    P90X3 Total Synergistics and 4.25 miles Interval Run...Done! I was on a bit of a time crunch today trying to outrun the storm, lol. For us, it ended up more hype that hurricane, but for those a little south of us it was a bit more crazy. Praying for those affected by the Tropical Storm that suddenly appeared this morning.

    30 minutes on the erg at a moderate pace. Still feeling the muscle soreness from my last weight session, but it felt good to work it out.

    Really have to get new workout clothes. The bagginess is a hazard on the erg. My shirt kept getting caught in the rollers. I didn't realize that it was getting longer as well as wider.
