  • You and I sound like we're in the same place. I'm 45, about the same weight. I'm committing to this journey once again. We can be friends and chat if you like. :)
  • I'm so sorry about your loss. It's so hard. In my experience grief comes in waves and knocks you over when you're not expecting it. My mom died more than 20 years ago. The waves still hit me but they are spaced farther and farther apart now.
  • We're having a decidedly non-snowy winter! But I do take walks when it's not super cold, or I do indoor workouts.
  • That sounds so familiar. Now let's liberate that fat together! ;)
  • I need to work on my blood pressure too. You got this.
  • Hi :)
  • Well, my goal is definitely to lose bulk while I get stronger. I do weigh and measure everything I eat when I'm actually working on this. I've been a mess lately... I need to tighten that up! I just don't weigh and measure myself right now, and I'm not going to get on the scale for a good long time. It's just how I am.…
  • I put in two pounds a week at moderately active. I am a teacher so I do have a job where I'm walking around a lot, but not physically demanding. I lift weights four times/week and do cardio 2-3 days.

  • Of course.
  • Yes, I use a food scale, measuring cups, all that, like I work at NASA. I should add that I have (or had... It may not be with me anymore) a physiological issue that made my body hold onto fat. So I may still be up against that. Fun. My routine was made by my boyfriend, who is not a professional in the field but this kind…
  • What do you mean by splits?
  • I have no idea what my deficit is at the end of the day. 1600 is the amount I take in; I don't eat more on days I work out. I skipped Zumba tonight and opted for a different workout; I did a bunch of lower-body weighs, then did 20 minutes of alternating step-ups with planks with some rest periods. Kicked my butt!
