Well I want my average weight for February to be 85kg. That’s where I’ve been weighing in these first few days on the month.

However my main goal right now is to maintain while starting a new job with short notice. I will focus on sticking with workouts (reduced duration/intensity if needed) and steps (for days when I’m onsite). I will also be fuelling with carefully selected snacks , real food rather than treats work best for me. For now I will press pause on weight loss and consider maintaining my January average weight a success until 1 April.

My goal is to get off diabetes and other medications...

I had a heart attack on Jan 8, 2024 (I do not recommend it for your bucket list). After the angioplasty and two stents, they had trouble controlling my blood pressure. I was shocked to be told that I had diabetes and high cholesterol (had never been told that before!) and that I had heart damage from Kawasaki disease (high fever as an infant). I was given 10 different Rx which comes out to over 20 tablets a day at various times throughout the day. I want to retire someday and all these Rx will be an expense that might be hard to afford without health coverage. And of course I do not want another heart attack.

A friend told me about the books The Diabetes Code and The Obesity Code by Dr Jason Fung. About 18 months ago he was told he had diabetes and he was able to reverse the diagnosis by following the plan. I came out of the hospital 4 weeks ago and am down 9 lbs already.

I gained about 35 lbs over covid and need to get rid of that, and perhaps more. The 9 lbs gets me about 1/4 of the way already.

Keeping my macros very close to avoid burnout on weight loss so exercise is not such a burden.

takinitalloff · February 9

I'm now solidly in "Onederland" (weight below 200 lbs). Very excited, and thinking about new goals. I decided to try out a new form of exercise for every 10 lbs I drop from now on. For the 200-190 lb interval, I will learn to swim front crawl ("freestyle"). I hope to take private lessons for this, as I wasn't able to find a class. Waiting to hear back from the instructor 🏊🏻‍♀️

My other goal is to move from the obesity II category into obesity I (my last stepping stone on the way to merely being overweight). Only a couple more pounds to go, so this truly is a very mini goal

RuthanneBowers · February 9

At the beginning of the year I had gotten down to 201 and I thought things were heading in the right direction. But the next time I got to use a scale (I don't own one so I only weigh when I go to my parent's), I had gained 6. I know that I had just gotten off a week of making a lot of bad food choices so I know that that was a factor. The next time I will be able to check the scale is at the beginning of March when I will be housesitting for my parents. All that to say, my mini goal is to be below 205.
My other mini goal is to have no days with less than 5,000 steps between now and then.

@PinUpDreamer926 Honestly, as a Canadian, I am overjoyed for you!! Health insurance is a huge benefit and great motivator. Although our country's health insurance isn't quite as amazing as it was when I was a child, growing up with it has lead to many long term health habits. From being taught proper dental care as children in schools....which lead to a lifetime of seeing the dentist twice a year. Ads on TV, radio and physical education in schools promoting regular exercise for health....so many of us literally grew up with exercise as a way of life...I believe our free health care system continues to provide us with long term responsibility, advocacy for our health so we know when to speak up if we sense a problem and whenever I have needed it, continues to be there for me. I would love for you to win six months of paid health insurance because the benefits will extend far beyond that and be life changing!! You've got this!!! Give it all you've got!! I'm SO EXCITED for you and cheering you on from The Great White North. 😀

It's actually sad that a company doesn't provide health insurance for all of its employees. I am glad that was a benefit of my employers. Now I have to pay it on my own, and... ouch.

I think it's even more sad that the United States still hasn't joined the First World countries and started providing Universal Health Care for everyone. The health care system in Canada isn't "free." It's paid through taxes, just like the fire department and maintaining streets and sidewalks. The insurance "industry" is the reason why costs are so high. If we had Universal Health Care, a whole bunch of companies who profit off passing money back and forth between people who get care, insurance companies, and doctors would go away. Prescription drugs cost a lot more in the US solely because of this industry.

In my career, if my employers hadn't had to pay for my health insurance, they could have put more money in my pocket for other purposes.

Health care is one of the few things that the US still does totally wrong. Our system enriches insurance companies and the industry that negotiates prices on their behalf. It's much worse if you, without any knowledge because you're experiencing an emergency and may not be conscious, end up being treated in any way by any provider that your insurance happens to not have an agreement with. You can get a large unexpected bill, and even if you're able to negotiate it down or away, it's very stressful. That stress is awful for your health.

The health care industry in the U.S. is like a hospital gown - it leaves your rear end exposed.

my MINI goal is to add 1 vegetable every time I eat. I love beet, banana and pineapple smoothies!

I'm going to California this Summer. I've always wanted to go, and I don't want to look at the photos of the trip with any regret.

Yes...I'm aware it's paid thru our tax dollars yet the overall investment.....pays extremely high dividends. People may complain about the taxes, but our Universal Healthcare is a generous safety net and like a freshly paved highway.....extremely nice to know it's there when we need it. Cheers!
