I play ice hockey, and I just feel so much faster and more agile on the ice as time goes on!
Current mini goal is to not be the heaviest on the team (only 11 lbs to go!)

This!

When I first lost my extra weight, I played Ultimate. It's a fun game, but I'd always been pretty slow. If I was on offense, my defender could always cover me when I made a cut. When I was on defense, the person I was covering could almost always break away and get open.

Well, after I lost weight, I could make cuts and get open. I could stick with the player I was defending and keep them from getting open. It was crazy fun! Our team had the oldest folks in the league. Our experience helped us compete against much younger teams, but let me just say how awesome it was to leave those younger folks in the dust!

@takinitalloff it is coming along. I'm starting at the floor and working my way up. that way I can use the room even if the rest isn't finished. I'm going to lay the spongy tiles so it's floor work friendly. the dogs have all the distraction items. They will stop everything they are doing to see what I'm doing. I have a pack of rascals. I have to leave the house for work while my husband works from home, so when I'm home I have 3 little shadows of furry happiness.

I had a terrible year with a clogged carotid artery and a pedestrian accident. Lost my license and pretty much my life. I gained 10 pounds back. I set up a six week plan to lose that weight and get back to 180.

@jillianbeanr I came on to post my mini goal and current progress and yours is similar!

A couple of weeks ago I "restarted" at 15 minutes a day of exercise. Walking or yoga. I did that for two weeks and am finishing up 20 minutes a day of the same this week. As it's such a small commitment, it's very easy to do.....and it's a FANTASTIC way to ease your brain into the habit of moving daily without "causing panic". Tomorrow I begin 25 minutes per day and it's become an easy habit again. My MINI GOAL is to continue until I reach 30 minutes per day (probably next week). Once I reach that.....I will maintain.....and when I reach New Years, my resolution will be a steady increase to 60 minutes per day.
With 30 minutes as my base already, I will be halfway there!

One tool I find EXTREMELY motivating is the Exercise Minutes bar chart you can access from your home page. From 90 days ago, my exercise was "good" with just a gap or two....and not huge....but the last 30 days my chart is REALLY impressive. So be sure to log your exercise daily.....because even 5 minutes is a POSITIVE habit forming change that leads to long term gains physically and mentally. Consistency wins in the end. I Checked my Waist and Hips measurements too. In one year.....thru "easy" small changes like YOU are making.......I've lost FOUR inches FROM BOTH my waist and hips!! 😍

My waist is now 28 inches and my hips are 36 inches. My hourglass figure is finally back! Looking back over the last two years.....I wouldn't change my time frame at all. And my Main Goal is still not achieved yet. 😉 Happy Sunday and congratulations on having the courage to take a steady systematic approach. 😘

Making it under 200 pounds for the first time since 2016.

I had my daughter in 2021 and ballooned up to 298 pounds by the end of the pregnancy, then by the time I had gastric bypass in November 2023 I was 305.

I've been hovering over 208-215 for the last few months and I finally saw the scale begin to fluctuate under 207 the other day, so I'm really hoping that I can hit 197 by this time next month.

To stay at my current goal weight of 145lbs. This morning, I was at 146.3 so now the hard part starts!

Relatively easy to lose. Very difficult to maintain... lol

I'm so close to ONEderland, I will be there by New Years! Right now, I'm stuck between 207-209 but I can do it!!!

I would love to be more comfortable in my skin by mid April when we go on a family trip to Cancun! I'm not sure what weight that will be, but I'm hoping for about a 30 lb loss by then to put me back in a size 8ish!

I honestly cant wait to fly and not have to ask for the extender. I was within and inch in Aug on one flight and not sure on the domestics but i'm fairly certian it wasn't much. Not sure how much 7 inches converts to a waste belt but at least 2 or 3 inches less.
I'm have a mini mini goal of dropping below 330. I saw 329.8 2 days in a row but I dont consider it official until my end of the day weight is below the notch.
