Urgh I'm so over this Monday already, still 3 hours to go in work but just cannot be bothered.
Good news is that I'm finishing up for 2 weeks this Friday, bad news is that I'm still awaiting some very much overdue online shopping that's to be delivered here in work. Bloody better arrive this week, come on Santa!

i'm waiting for online delivery for few things too, and just got a notice from Zulily that some of my things are delayed but HOPING to get here before christmas. So I just give my kids an IOU?

Exactly! And it's not that I left it last minute either, postal services are completely overwhelmed with deliveries, but I can't help thinking, come on, Covid has been here for a while now, you could've known.

We are in Charlotte, North Carolina. Spending most of our time at home now because cases are very high. Getting ready to go for a walk and some exercise. I miss my gym's indoor pool, hot tub, and classes, but not enough to risk Covid-19 (lots of unmasked folks there despite the mandate). Also miss my massage therapist who has been helping me loosen scar tissue in my back after a thoracic fusion. Glad this crazy year is almost over and better times ahead in 2021. At this point I am simply trying to avoid holiday weight gain. This is a bad time of year to try to lose weight. I am sticking to healthy habits and eating, but cutting myself some slack when I want to eat a cookie or do some baking.

Welcome back and happy holiday season to you as well

42 with a 3 year old.
Decided a lifestyle change was necessary if I was going to see him graduate high school.
Middle of Aug I made a decision to alter my diet and get moving again. The week of Halloween I joined a gym and started using this app.

By thanksgiving I lost 45 lbs. since went down another 5 but fluctuate between the 45-50 lbs.
today I squatted my body weight 6x and managed to DL my bw once.

Not a bad day

What an accomplishment, great job friend!!

Good morning all, may your coffee be stronger than your kids' attitude. LOL maybe only I need that wish!!

Hello all! I am 34 and would love some more friends on here for motivation and encouragement. I have about 65 pounds to lose and hope to run my second half marathon October 2021.

Back in 2012-2013 I lost about 50 pounds and trained for my first half marathon, but grad school plus a more sedentary job and longer commute has seen the weight creeping back. Earlier this year, I started running again, and am currently doing a HIIT Challenge with Bodyfit by Amy. I enjoy hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, and am trying to get more bodyweight strength training in. I don't restrict myself from any foods, but try to keep balance throughout the day and am aiming for 1200-1600 calories/day. I am pescatarian and have been for the past 6 years. Feel free to add me as a friend!
