Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.
A pound a week seems reasonable
I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.

It's actually fun, but my body is just not ready for two-a-days - if I'm going to play, I need to do it on a weekend or make that my workout for the day.

This week's challenges: Minor health issues, which mostly are resolving, thank goodness!

I am 51 year old 6'0" with a Thyroid issue, that I am on Meds for, and tore my Achilles in May. My weight constantly yoyo's and the up is more than the down. Heaviest I have ever been.
I have been unable to do any cardio and the weight has continued to creep up. I also have a torn Meniscus but can still get around.
Started off the week (Monday) having gained a couple of pounds since the weigh in on Friday, part of my frustration on how much my weight fluctuates. It is certainly can't be normal, but it is what I have to deal with and work around. It took a lot of work to get it back down to show a loss for the week. The hardest part of this is getting enough macros, I can never seem to get enough protein, pretty frustrating, but another puzzle to solve.

This month has been a blessing -- I feel better and stronger, my clothes fit better, I am more active and my attitude has changed from "No way, I can't" to "Maybe I can".
