I miss running I was never especially good, my 5k pb was 29 minutes and 10k on was about 70 min. I can’t run at the moment as I have a hip issue and am awaiting surgery. I hope to get back into it again one day.

Oh no, have you stopped running long? What exercise do you do now? X

I haven’t run in about a year. I’ve joined a gym instead and cycle but I’ve not been as consistent as I need to be. I recently bought some personal training sessions which I really enjoy so will continue with those. I miss the psychological benefits of running the most.

Thanks for adding me to the group. My weight loss journey started three years ago. I was 270 pounds and worked my way down to 183 pounds. Since my lowest weight (summer of 2016) I have worked to gain good weight (lifting weights to gain muscle) and even at my age, 47 now, I’ve been able to put some good weight on my body. The problem is I also put on some bad weight on (now I am 215 pounds) and developed some bad eating habits along the way. I want to lose around 20 pounds and will need to refocus my eating habits. I look forward to reaching my goals and seeing others in the group reach theirs. 2018 will be a good year!

Hello everyone,

My name is Karin. I live in WA state area near Oregon border. I joined this group because I am looking for accountability. I have been struggling to lose weight from my last pregnancy which was 5 yrs ago! I did lose 20 lbs but gained most of it back. So really no excuse for me right now. This week I seemed to have got pneumonia and struggling with getting my energy levels back and I can’t stop coughing. Hoping I get better quickly because I really need to be exercising more. My biggest problem is that I love food a little to much! I am an emotional eater and struggle with binge eating. I have two girls I am homeschooling half the time and it is pretty demanding making sure they are growing academically. My goal for this year is to not binge eat, eat healthy meals, lose weight I gained and additional 20 more lbs weight loss. I thought about joining weight watchers but I just don’t want to spend the money! I weigh 211.5 pounds and I would love to get down to 170 lbs by end of the year. I am almost 5’ 10” tall.
Thanks for letting me join this group! I am going to put a calendar up in my room to mark days I exercised, tracked meals and stayed binge free!

Hello, I'm Bethany. I'm 32 years old, 5'4", about 160 pounds, and live in Washington state (U.S.). I used to be a public school teacher but am now a stay at mom to my 5 month old daughter. Until 5 years ago I was really pretty healthy. I finished two marathons, several half marathons, and enjoyed yoga. However, emotional eating led to a 40 pound weight gain. I still can't believe it happened! My family is very unhealthy - every single person is overweight, obese, or morbidly obese. (Diabetes, too). I previously lost about 20 pounds, then was pregnant, etc...I have about 25 more lbs to go. Thank you for letting me join this group - I really appreciate it and I feel hopeful that it will help.
