in Introduce Yourself
Starting over and need support. I know what I need to do but having so much trouble finding the motivation and staying on track. Would love to add people in the same boat, needing someone to check in and give that little push to keep going.

    40s here too. Need to lose around 20-25lb. My clothes don’t fit me after comfort eating my way through 2020. I’m heaviest I’ve been since having my children (my youngest was born in 2008).
    Would love to join in with you guys for accountability if I may

    Very random but anyone else suffering from noisy joint syndrome? (ok so I made that up) but seriously, no way can I ever sneak up on anyone, unless they happen to be deaf. If it’s not my knees creaking it’s my ankles cracking. Could be the damage of my years in gymnastics but I think it’s an over 40 issue. Getting older sucks donkey balls.

    It's my knees, it's arthritis. YES, getting old sucks!!!!!!!

    @The_Elephant_Man ok that tat ally depressed me. I am going to keep thinking of it as noise joint syndrome. It sounds better. Denial...Nope...self preservation. I still look in the mirror and see my 21 year self. 😂

    Last night I was asking my husband if my squat looked proper, correct positioning, and all you could hear was crack, crinkle, crack on the way down and up from both knees and ankles and he cringed and made a comment. My daughter said exactly what you said, that she could hear me coming to her door with my cracking ankles before I even knocked. It doesn't hurt, not one bit. But it creeps me out. Like you, I did gymnastics and I danced in my younger years. Ballet was probably a little rougher on my ankles and I remember going to the doctor for my cracking and then tender ankles, all attributed to dance, gymnastics, and other sports. I've always cracked but it's getting worse, I think. Creepy cracking sounds bone to bone grinding it sounds like, but no you're not odd. I hear that unpleasant noise too.

    @karmabear06 Nothing there. It says sent but it does not go thru unless you are friends. Not sure why, but that is how it works.

    @The_Elephant_Man oh I do, I was only joking around. I have no trouble with getting older. My life is pretty darn fantastic other than the weight.

    You will lose the weight, just remember that it takes time and don't get discouraged.

    Hi Ria! I'm also back on a weight loss journey after eating 2020 away! Safe to say social distancing from the fridge and my couch was not a great success. Happy to add you on this journey :)
