    I know I've been on furlough lately, I've been busy working up at the camp and I'm reading 5 books. I'm catching up with lost time......and ya, exercising EVER day.
    Nice work with those daily workouts! May as well take advantage of the furlough!

    I just have to say that I've been working really hard, and I know I could not have done it at my starting weight. I'm SO grateful and glad that I started losing weight in January, before we decided to move, and that my stomach has shrunk and I'm in healthy habits. Part of me would really be tempted to stop and just eat whatever, but coming here every day and just reading what everyone else is doing reminds me that no, I have a larger goal, keep going, keep working, and taking a holiday while dealing with something big like this doesn't mean a total abandonment of my goals.

    I actually miss cooking. I cook way better than I can get at restaurants, and I know it's organic and free of the additives that make my fibro worse. But I'm moving my kitchen today.

    Oh I'm so happy to find this group! I wish I had found it in January, but better late than never!

    My goal weight is 145 but that's negotiable! I'm one of those folks who just didn't bother to try before. I watched my weight affect relationships; affect my enjoyment of life; affect my day-to-day. And yet, I did nothing. I started and stopped a couple of times a few years ago but it was only a half assed effort and nothing sustainable. This time, my cousin, in passing, used the words "self-care" when describing weightloss/fitness -- not directed at me, just in a casual way in the course of a conversation. And a lightbulb went off. I'm not saying it's not a struggle, it is! But it is a whole lot easier than I thought it could be. And getting my 45 year old body to move more? I'm loving it. Looking forward to hearing everyones success stories as the months go on!

    Devastating circumstances yesterday afternoon. My Niece was found dead, we didn't eat till 9:30 last night and family made pasta. Hoping this week will be better if stress level goes back down.

    I've been battling weight and lung issues for a while. I used to cycle regularly 20 miles 2-3 days a week but it has been years since that consistency. I have always had trouble losing weight. I'm trying to get back into cycling regularly and attempting to lose weight.

    Current weight 206.8 (thanks to stress from Rona).

    I rode 24 miles today.

    @ladycopnh1 : That's so devastating. I wish you and your family all the strength they will need during this difficult time.

    I suspect the reason I have continuing foot pain in my left foot is a small stress fracture of a metatarsal. I'll have to allow for that as I get back to exercising.

    APC - welcome to the group

    I have officially fell off the wagon onto a gravel road.
    I need all your prayers that I can pull myself back up and get back on board.

    Those of you who are still here are so inspiring to me,
    keep it up, you all have a goal and I feel each one of you will reach it <3

    You can do it.

    Just class it as a break, don't dwell on it, re focus and move on.

    Set a small goal and CELEBRATE when you reach it.

    EVERYONE deserves a blip every now and then.

    I have FINALLY hit my most recent mini goal of a 25% loss of total body weight! I have 13.6 lbs to go to no longer be overweight according to the BMI. I'm going on vacation soon for 2 weeks, so I don't expect to maintain this loss, but if I don't, I'll get back on track when I return! That's my realistic optimism talking. 😏

    Thank you smesson & angeloup, I need encouragement right now. I feel like one of those circle horse riders with a foot one two different horses. One saying eat what you want and the other saying DON'T YOU DARE !! Hopefully I can get back on the right horse and at least start a canter.

    Look how far you've come. I've done the wagon thing twice now. I just keep on going back and it's shorter fall offs and it's easier to get back on if it's not too far out of distance 😉 Yee haw🤠.
