Any Echelon riders here?
Feel free to add me @Vicious-Cycle
Hope to see some of you on the leaderboard 😅

I forgot to post yesterday.
Back done.
‘Bout to go shovel some snow...but the pup is sleeping on my lap. I was all like “get up”...and she was all like...not. I tried.

Hello everyone, I’m Kelly. I’ll be 44 in Feb. Looking for interactive friends to make the journey of losing lbs fun? Can it be fun? 😂 I have about 50 more to go 🤜🏻🤛🏻🤗

Hey everyone--44 yo female. Mentally I don't feel that age, but there are definitely days when my body does (if not older!).

I recently reached my "wish" goal weight after maintaining a 35 +/- weight loss for 7 years. I lost very slowly and deliberately, and am now committed to eat this way for life (which, frankly, wasn't too different than how I was eating before). However, I've struggled with my weight most of my life, losing then slowly gaining it back, and really with my mindset about my body and weight loss/maintenance. I like the idea of helping others achieving a healthy lifestyle sustainably.
I strength train 3 total body days week with the goal of getting stronger and really have some goals I want to reach (like finally being able to do a non-assisted pull-up). I love seeing and feeling the progress. I'd like to be able to go 5 days a week to the gym, but it's just not really possible with my schedule--plus, I've made great gains with this schedule (focus on glute strength). I also love dancing and take 3 dance classes a week-more for fun than exercise, but also dance "exercise" with YouTube and cardio at home.

Chest, Shoulders and Traps! DONE!

Hello everyone. I'm 42 and really looking for the combo of foods/exercise that will get me to my goal and keep me there. A few things that contribute to difficulty in losing are stress and autoimmune problems (PCOS/Hashimotos). The stress comes from my 4 adopted teenagers and we also have 4 bio kids...the youngest are 1 year old twins. It's just hard. I'm trying to keep from fight or flighting most days. I would love to be part of the group.

Fractured my hand back in October. Laid out of the gym for a couple of months. Twas' a convenient excuse.

Kept up with hiking and walking the dog. I knew I would gain some weight without lifting, so I set a goal to stay under 200 pounds through year end. I'm back on a downward trend and I will see the New Year around 195.

Glad to see you all are staying on course. Mostly healed now, so time to get back under the bar. Looking forward to that good soreness from the first few lifting sessions.

I'm a member of an MFP group called "Lose 1 Pound a Week". Great support, different challenges every week and a weekly weigh-in. They are signing up new members right now. Join in if you like that sort of thing.

LEGS! DONE!

Hey kids, hope all is well.

It was a tough but necessary decision to change gyms. I'm back with my old trainer and got my butt handed to me for old time sakes. Haven't been this sore in ages.

Have a great evening everyone.

47 and working to lose 30 pounds- my 2016 weight before injury and surgery. Injuries set me back both mentally and physically and the pandemic was the cherry on that sundae that truly did me in. Determined to turn the page in 2021.
