I started my current weight loss journey at 226 lbs back in September so I'm making progress - but slowly. (October was a very undisciplined month for me where I gained 3 lbs back.) Hopefully this new challenge group will help me to get more motivated!
226 was the most I've ever weighed. I moved to the US two years ago weighing approximately 170 lbs at the time. The weight kept piling up since I live in an area with no sidewalks, couldn't work due to the immigration process for a while, and then Covid happened! I've been making tons of effort recently to start getting my steps in, becoming more active, and being more mindful about my calories.
Thanks for having me!
@craftysloth85 I live in an area with no sidewalks. Check and see if you have walking trails locally (I have several). I also do some evening walks around the neighborhood when there is less traffic. I do have to step onto people’s lawns when cars are coming though.1 -
Good Morning.
It has gotten so darn cold in Ohio out of no where. 47 degrees right now. I am struggling with even wanting to leave my house. I know I can dust out my jacket and get my head gear out and go walk, so that is my biggest November goal. I also realllllllllly wanna turn on my heat but if you are familiar with fuel oil, you know how expensive it is.
I did bump my step goal from 10k to 15k. I havent hit it yet since I bumped it but it is making get up a bit more during work, even if its just a few extra steps to get more water or really anything.2 -

Hi Shrinking Assets! I'm very excited to join your group. My name is Heather. I'm 41 and live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
SW: 440
CW: 372.0
Weigh in - Thursdays
I've struggled with my weight my whole life and yo-yo'd a lot in the last 10 years. I started working from home in March due to Covid, and thought to myself, gee, there's no better time than now to do something about my weight. I stayed in the contemplation stage for a few months, and around May I started making some changes.
I now find myself going through a transformation, and fantasize about going back to work to the office, looking like a new person. I'm down 68 pounds, and even entered into my first romantic relationship of my life this past summer. It didn't work out, but wow is my life changing (for the better) right now!
I'm excited to get to know the people here, cheer you on, and find some mutual support for us to achieve our goals.
Feel free to add me as a friend!

Hi! I’m Katie! My weigh in days will be Friday. I’m 30 and am trying to get back to my weight before children! I always start with good intentions but always give up. I hope this group can help get me through those hard times of low motivation! Thanks for having me!6

Well, this fall is just one setback after another. I finally made it to my acrobatics class last night for the first time in a month. I'm not entirely sure how exactly this happened (my memory is wiped from the two-ish minutes of this incident), but my hands fell out from under me while in a handstand position, and I fell directly on my head. I was supposed to practice handsprings and end up on my back on the mattress right in front of me, but somehow I crashed on top of my head on hard floor and missed the mattress. The class is late at night, so all this happened after 9PM, definitely not standard business hours.
I feel incredibly grateful for my employer (and by extension, myself for setting up the benefit package). I immediately opened our company healthcare app on my phone, and started the 24/7 on-call chat doctor service. They recommended heading to ER and getting checked for neck fractures immediately. Instead of heading to public hospital ER and waiting in line for possibly several hours, I called my workplace insurance company hotline and was sent directly to our private workplace healthcare clinic that has 24/7 service. I saw a doctor, got X-rays of my neck taken and went back to the doctor who reviewed the X-rays, prescribed painkillers and gave me treatment instructions. I was out of there within an hour of calling the insurance company, and I didn't pay a single cent as the bills are sent straight to the insurance company (and I pay nothing for the insurance). A radiologist is double-checking the X-rays today and calling me to confirm there's no fractures. I'm also very grateful to have the option of going to the public hospital ER and also getting the service for free, even if there are longer waits.
I have a splitting headache, my neck is super sore and everything is kinda stiff and shaken, but I'm going to be fine. No exercise for a few days, though, and the doctor specified that "take it easy and rest" includes taking a rest from screen time, so I'm going to be bored out of my mind and can't work regularly.4 -

Hi Beka,
Just to confirm we are automatically signed up for November?0 -
Hi guys!!!
Sorry that I have been MIA for a few days. Just some personal stuff going on and needed a little attention.
I have been doing well. I had my typical weekend gain - probably sodium from sushi Saturday. I have dropped the weekend sins and working on a loss for the week.
I have a ton to catch up on in this thread and I promise I will get there!
Let's finish October strong and SLAY NOVEMBER!!!6
