Reducing my back pain!!

I highly recommend the book “Healing Back Pain” by Dr. John Sarno. I had debilitating back pain for years and this helped me fix it. Here’s an article about the book:
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/09/well/mind/john-sarno-chronic-pain-relief.html

and the GoodReads page, with gazillions of reviews:
https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/144873

I second the Sarno recommendation. When I read it, I thought, "Um... yeah. Right." I happened to be on vacation visiting family. I had suffered back pain that was at time debilitating for decades. At some point I got up from the sofa and was pain free. I remained pain-free for many years, and only recently has a TINY bit come back. It's not very often. It's not debilitating. It doesn't last.

I went back to my physical therapist after I got back from vacation that time. I told her about my experience. She said, "Well, you've graduated then. You're free to go." She didn't even charge me for the visit. She didn't take my insurance, and they only reimbursed me for a part of her work, but she was good. She asked about the book, and I bought a copy for her.

I haven't read "The Divided Mind," but I have a copy around here somewhere.

Signing up for a Sprint Triathlon in May, and want to be reasonably beach-body-comfortable to take my shirt off for mid-March break. That's minimally at least a 15lb drop in 8 weeks for now at -2lbs/week to come in at 215 lbs or less. Good luck to everyone!

To be a size 12Au (8Us) again.

To weigh less than my sister - 10 lb goal. I'm doing 10 lbs at a time and took me a year to lose 30 lbs. I'd like to speed up and do this in less than 2 months.

To run for 2 minutes straight! I'm training for a 5k for this summer and right now can only run about a minute to a minute, 15 sec. Slowly building up to it with shorter walking breaks in between.

Started with rotations of walk 5 min, run 1 min and now I'm doing walk 3 mins, run 1 minute!

I used to run a "couch to 5k" group. Whilst this might not apply to you, the biggest bit of advice I used to give people is to slow down. A lot of people think that if you aren't breathing hard, you aren't running hard enough. The way to measure if you are running slow enough was to always to run at a pace where you can still breathe through your nose. If that meant walking to start off with (especially up the hills) then that was fine.

Best of luck in your goal!

So I am honestly focusing more long term, but wanted to put it out there. I started this journey in 01/2021 at 225 lbs and by 01/2022-I was down to 153. I started dating a great guy, my nutrition became less and less structured and fast forward I have gained 40lbs back....so we have a trip the weekend of July 12th of this year, and my goal is to be back where I was, if not lower when I met him, and to keep my nutrition in the forefront to ensure success.

Need to lose 20+ lbs to get back to my pre covid weight. I have a torn meniscus, torn in 2 places, this happened 8 yrs ago. When I am not overweight it doesn't hurt me much and sometimes not at all. After becoming inactive during covid and gaining this weight, the knee became pretty painful. So I'm working on getting back to where I was.
