    Hello all! I'm 41.....hoping to drop at least 15-20 lbs in 2019. Without having a thyroid, even losing 1 lb makes me happy! Feel free to add me!!

    So my windows are rolled up, and a tween, maybe 12 says to me (comes right up to the glass) and says I look too 1990s. I have a headset with mouth piece. (Partly because I find it hard to hear). I rolled down the window and said, "you don't know if someone has a hearing imparement". His mom, who apparently was one car over had him appologize. Did I over react?

    😮 oh wow! I woulda just smiled and said back “Cool! I loved the 90’s!” 🤣🤣🤣

    I think I was just caught off guard, because of the "proximity" in my personal space. I wasn't outside in the open. It felt invasive. Your answer is probably a better one.

    Kids do say the darndest things 😮 what does a tween know about the 90’s? They probably weren’t even born yet 😂 they were probably just thinking out loud or trying to sound impressive or just get a reaction, don’t take it personally 😊 glad the mom made them apologize!

    Made it back to the gym today! It’s easy to fall off the wagon for sure! Hoping to sleep better tonight. Cheers ladies!

    I got sick last week and fell off my diet and workout routine. I'm finding it very difficult to get back in the workout part this week... :( I just hate the gym!

    I've got to come up with a more enjoyable way to exercise on my own.

    44 and a half, maintained a healthy weight for 5 years now and feeling fantastic today on my trail run. Age is just a number right?! So get out there, get healthy and do what you want to do, don’t limit yourself 😁 feel free to add me 😊

    This photo is so great, I thought I'd quote it! Good for you!

    Thanks! It was a fun photo to take 😊 I used to live a completely sedentary lifestyle but found that being active is just so much more fun I’ll never go back to being sedentary again 😅

    That's awesome, and inspiring. :)

    I'm curious, what inspired you to make this life change? And what do you do to stay active?

    My health was starting to fail from obesity related diseases so I finally got my act together and took action. If anyone is interested my story is in this post:

    I’m a runner. My passion is trail running. I also swim, bike and hike but you can mostly find me out running 😊

    Is there a different gym, or something about the gym you dislike - maybe shop around for a better experience/equipment/options/client base?
